    ISU-KSU Game Watch (Chi-Town)???

    Corcoran's in Old Town or Fizz in Lakeview are the two gamewatch locations in the city. You won't have much luck other than those two places due to every other bar being tied to another team (mostly big10).

    Driving to Chicago Advice

    if you're going to the city, on a friday afternoon i would definitely take I-80 to joliet and then take I-55 north into the city which puts you right by soldier field. there is much less traffic on 55N than on 88/290 into the city since 55N is a reverse commute at night(wife drives it every...

    Surround Sound question (sound bar)

    i recently picked up the yamaha YSP-900 sound bar through a rewards program and love it. i have an odd shaped room so the auto calibration is a big plus, and the surround sound still blows my mind since it's only one speaker. watching games sounds like i'm in a large sports bar with tv's all...

    ISU Gear in chicago?

    the alumni club is having a raffle for the pregame party at stanley's and there are a few tshirts included in that i believe. you could always bribe someone to make sure you get one of those, it wouldn't be chicago without dirty politics and under the table bribes.

    Maybe it is ISU

    this. chiz hired his buddies here and it backfired. he learned better when he went to auburn. the only thing that burns me (other than that itch down there, haha) is that he was too stupid to know that from the start when most could see he was not hiring the best men for the job. he has...

    this loss it on the offense, like it or not

    i guess the thing that is getting to me, and what brought up this whole thread, is that we were throwing the ball all over the field late last year so its obvious we CAN do it. sure, we didn't run it for **** last year (which i'm glad we can do this yr), but it's not like we forgot how to run...

    this loss it on the offense, like it or not

    "What about the defense having the quarterback sacked and he gets free and throws a touchdown pass." True, that play was huge. BUT, in spite of that, the defense still played a great game. "I really felt like we were in control of the game until the tight end fumbled the ball as we appeared...

    this loss it on the offense, like it or not

    i think we can agree that our defense has exceeded all expectations this yr by only givine up 21.5 pts/game. coming into this game i was still wary about our O but thought that our they would pull out of the slump they are in. our defense played great once again and stopped Kstate from scoring...

    Escape from Bottom Football Chatter
