Id wait. Take it from someone that sat amongst a huge section of Florida State fans when we played them at Arrowhead

For the Cyclones’ First Round game of the1986 NCAA MBBTournament game, we sat in the Miami of Ohio section of the Metrodome. My friend from Ohio called their ticket office, claimed he was a huge Miami fan, and would be in Minneapolis. Location didn’t deter our cheering!

That’s the Hornacek game-winner game?

Yes... Ron Harper for them was really good to. I was there in the upper deck losing my mind when Hornaceck hit it.

Hate to nitpick, but I would expect a Villanova graduate to know the difference between apart and a part

So is Villanova far superior to Iowa State? Because he have a ton of ISU graduates - even on this very board - who can't make that distinction. Many also don't know the difference between 'moot' and 'mute' or 'berth' and 'birth' or don't know that 'biased' is what you are when you have 'bias'. Need I go on?

Let's cut the kid some slack.

Well, his degree is in Communications. Villanova is the 46th best school for that whereas Iowa State is 157th.

So I do think he should be able to make that distinction in a tweet.

Pump the breaks. That's all in the passed.

I’m pretty sure there are ISU journalism grads not too terribly far away who don’t always manage to distinguish between terms like “compliment” and “complement”, “reins” and “reigns”, and “shoe-in” and “shoo-in”. In published articles.

Er, right @JStanz51?

So I’ll cut the kid some slack on a typo in an informal tweet. REALLY easy to have those pop into a tweet—and you can’t edit them.

Do Big 12 Championship Games usually sell out. I've planned on going, but figured i would get my tickets through ISU's allotment. But i'm not sure how that usually plays out.

If your well up in the donor levels that'll work.

Ha I did this with less lying for the tournament here in Denver a few years back. Just called the away teams ticket office and got put on a list. Was promptly sent a link the night I think it was which I posted on here allowing for even more CFs to dial it up. The few Iona fans were not impressed LOL

Do you think Gold level makes the cut?

I try to avoid those words because I know I'm going to mess them up. I'm smart enough to know how big of an idiot I am.

Edit: Realize the wrong complement was used in my story yesterday but my transcription service used the wrong one and I just didn't catch it. S*** happens when you're your own editor. I also took one writing class while I was in journalism school and it was intro to news writing. Never had to take a grammar or English comp class at Iowa State. Any grammatical errors in my stories are more of an indictment on the public school system and the fact that Cyclone Fanatic doesn't have a full copy desk than journalism school.

I completely understand that. I mostly post on my iPhone, and it likes to constantly autocorrect things like “well” to “we’ll” and “will” to “Will”.

I even had one day I was trying to write some phrase (whatever it was), and couldn’t get it to stop correcting to “Rhode Island”, whatever I did. It was frustrating! I finally wound up totally changing the sentence.
