Pate is a closeted (but not really anymore) ISU fan. He's just being bombastic about it to be funny. He has joked many times on his show about not letting ISU be the team to go deep in the playoffs or he will become a full blooded homer for ISU.

Sara, I love you! What a great Cyclone call by John Walters!
This one will be long remembered!
Let's see how far that goes, shall we?
Agree, some home cooking and some P2 bias.
The bottom dropped out of this thread when Rocco threw the bad pick at 3:14pm, as evidenced by Pages 24-28. It's fun to look back and see what was being said when the ball wasn't bouncing our way.

I’ll never understand how Walter’s never drops a bunch of f-bombs on bigtime calls like this. I know I wouldn’t be able to hold them in.
I wasn't a Kittle fan in college but he has really grown on me as a niner/Purdy teammate. The dude is really pretty darn funny.
Honestly Northern Illinois should be ranked whether you think they are a top-25 team or not. I believe they are 2-0 with a road win against a top-5 team. On pure resume alone nobody has a better one. Especially how much everyone was clamoring up Notre Dame after their impressive win at Kyle Field last week.
My favorite quote from Chad Leistikow's column in the DM Register:
Iowa’s final five drives on offense: punt, punt, punt, punt, punt and interception on a Hail Mary with 1 second left.

Have to give my game ball to the goal line defense. If those guys didn't go hard every time Iowa got it inside the 10, we're nowhere close enough to make the comeback. Stout is an understatement.

So you're saying that the active ingredient in Viagra might be Hawkeye tears?
Yeah, it's the one Sunday of the year when you actually look forward to going to work the next day.
Final stats are much better than they were the first half...

Just researched the last couple minutes.
1. Iowa with the ball with like 1:25 left, we are out of timeouts and make a stop...and the clock ticked
2. Iowa takes a delay of game vs using a timeout for their punter. Now those 5 yards matter.
3. Noel, back to back great moves/plays.
4. Panic when Brehmer tackled in bounds and the clock was running.
5. I was surprised iowa didn't try to ice our kicker.
Awesome ending...now

2-14 on 3rd downs sucks but alot of those were 3 and 7+ because we’d run it twice on 1st and 2nd and get stuffed
It was mentioned in there that they got to the studio when it looked like Iowa had wrapped it up. I want to see the video of Hassel as the game turned.
Ed Harris has a quote in Radio that I always think of after a big win.
I love frid Friday night when you're chasing a win and Saturday morning after you got one.
