    *** Official IOWA STATE Vs Oklahoma Gameday Thread ***

    I had this same thought as well since that was my first game and being in the band as well. That season was A LOT of just kindof standing there in the old south end zone being disappointed and tortured.

    ESPN: SEC a shell of its former self

    To what extent did media hype play into the number of top flight recruits going to the SEC. Look back at when "SEC is the best" stuff picked up steam in 2007. I did a google search and found no articles prior to 2007 regarding the SEC being the best conference. Yes, the early years of this...

    Obnoxious hok fans

    My grandfather passed 10 days before the Iowa/Iowa State game in 2008 and the 90% of that side of the family are hok fans and the Iowa State fans are my family (through my dad and all of us attending ISU) and my uncle (again, family attended ISU for the most part for engineering). The Hoks...

    Jury Duty

    They are usually just happy you followed and gave a reason for not being there instead of just ignoring it and creating stuff for them to do as a result of you not showing up. You might get yourself dismissed and then be scott free for the next few years or they might just push you back to a...

    Did Texas unintentionally save the Big 12?

    I need a translation... anyone speak trailerfolk? I tried ductaping my shoe and making out with my sister but it really is a second language for me... is there a Rosetta Stone for this?

    Is recruiting that much better?

    If anything Rhoads got this "don't end up staying or panning out" thing down perfectly as he kept having it happen to him. That led him down the road of constantly searching for diamonds in the rough which made it so the flame outs happened more often. Toward the end he wasn't even making an...

    Random Thoughts X (The 9th Regeneration)

    This cannot be brought up more often. That was a good chuckle... particularly the whole Mike Tyson bicycle stuff.

    Craft Beer Sellouts

    Down with corporatism! My anti establishment taste buds are instantly soured when people are successful with their product. The only reason I do anything is if someone isn't making money off of it. I would rather drink a bottle of independent rat piss than drink a really good beer that I...

    Millennials are killing chains like Buffalo Wild Wings and Applebee's

    This is one of those topics that always amuses me. The amount of "Holier than Thou" people who won't go to a chain restaurant is obnoxious. There is a local person who is benefiting from managing that business and local people who work there. Everyone acts as though chains are this thing...

    Here's what I know about McNeil

    I am so sick of hearing this excuse as it relates to coaches. The NCAA has a mechanism in place that allows those players affected by their coach leaving to where they can transfer without having to sit out. People who make this argument also are underestimating the intelligence of 17 and 18...

    ***OFFICIAL BIG 12 EXPANSION THREAD 2.0***

    I guess this is what I am more talking about... yes, we could beat them once in a while... but I bet we could beat a Cinci or Louisville more often than either of those programs. Everyone on this board has been clammoring for these top shelf programs (mostly for money) and I am all for adding...

    ***OFFICIAL BIG 12 EXPANSION THREAD 2.0***

    Problem solved... 10 conference games (really do not care if we lose a non conference game as long as that game is UNI, ha.) Heck, play Iowa every year, and then North Texas (every year) and while it may be a hard SOS, it is better then having to play FSU or Clemsen (teams we have absolutely...

    Should ISU rescind Graham Spanier's Distinguished Alumni Award?

    Probably the same people who drug the complaining and hand slapping out for 6 months last time around... I am sure there are plenty of convicted felons that are affiliated with other distinguished alum lists. Just remove the name if it is going to get everyone's panties in a bunch and don't...

    Boone or Marshalltown?

    Well since noone really answered this (probably because they can't put it non racist terms) the answer is it feels kinda "Postville" which has to do with the overall feel of the town... Boone has more of a hillbilly redneck feel to it. Huxley is a bit of a drive but it would be a good...

    Is there a chance ISU could get a game on FOX Network this year?

    I still can't believe Kstate and ISU as a game is not one that networks want. If we both come in at 4-1 That's a game of high interest since the game has been highly competitive with one possession games since Snyder's return. I want to win that game more than any other on the schedule.
