College Gameday in Ames?

[cstrunk]

Does it help our case to have Game Day in Ames with Iowa since Texas will be featured next weekend (vs waiting until Texas comes to Ames later)?

Inconsequential.

If they come for the Iowa game, and if ISU and Texas are both undefeated by that point (a BIG if), they could come twice.

Gameday isnt coming here twice in a season. It's just not going to happen

Extremely unlikely but it is still possible. If they were to come for the Iowa game and we were both undefeated they very well may come again.

You think that it could happen but I assure you GameDay isnt interested in doing 2 weekends in Ames.

Never coming to Ames in 20 some years(could be more) and they would now come to Ames twice? Zero chance of that.

I never said it wasn't a done deal. Just saying it has become not as easy for them to convince the nation it’s the right move

So it's a done deal then. Cool!

Like I said extremely unlikely but it all depends on tons of different factors. It would take a ton going our way but imagine Syracuse loses next week and we are both undefeated. It would be likely we would get it for the Iowa game. Now imagine we are undefeated and Texas is undefeated with the other games losing on their interest. They don’t like to repeat but I think they’d be hard pressed to pick something else in that scenario. The thing is the odds of that happening are near zero.

as long as isu and iowa do not have a L on their schedule Gameday will be in Ames....a very trusted source has told me this

Assuming Iowa beats Rutgers when will they announce GameDay? Sunday?

 

[CyTwins]

Iowa winning both games and isu beating UNI is all that needs to happen.

Really hoping Iowa can win Saturday!

 

[CyTwins]

I have inside knowledge that if both teams are undefeated after week 2 CGD will be in Ames. I hope this stops the what ifs. it comes down to 1 thing. both undefeated. I cant reveal who it is so dont ask.

Getting excited! Iowa should dominate Rutgers

I think Saturday night

Are we even going to be ranked by then??

Very good question. I know Iowa dropped from 22 to out of the top 25 after their scare with uni a few years ago. Looked at Wisconsin’s ranking after their scare a few years ago and they only dropped from 12 to 13.

Doesn't matter, just get had to avoid losing and GameDay is ours!

Not so fast my friend.

Remember, Rutgers is the TOE's protected cross division rival.

You never know what will happen when rivals meet...

Amazing how GameDay was a done deal if both teams win until it suddenly wasn’t

"Sometimes when you win, you really lose." This was one of those times.

To be fair, the AP's view of Wisconsin is much different than their view of Iowa State. But who knows.

I think that we probably played ourselves out of Gameday, but I don't for a second believe that ESPN ever had a guaranteed "if both are undefeated" stance.

You guys are clueless. Try being optimistic instead of pessimistic for once. Life is a lot more enjoyable
