    Playstation Vue

    So my two years is up with Dish this month - I'm considering "cutting the cord" so to speak and going w/ Playstation Vue. From what I can tell, their "Elite Slim" package should be great for sports fans - comes w/ BTN, all the Fox Sports channels, SEC Network, & ESPN/2/U/News. It also has all...

    Convince me the SEZ is a Good Investment (Long & Numbery)

    Jamie Pollard's job is to raise the level of football success in Ames - if he doesn't do that, he's doing a disservice to the university. In that context, I kind of understand where the SEZ expansion is coming from, but IMO, if he has $60M to invest in the football program, he's investing it in...

    Considering Going From DirecTV to Dish

    I searched old threads, but would like some feedback specifically from people who have made the decision to go from DTV to Dish. Called and gave DirecTV the annual "I'm leaving if you don't lower my bill" gig. This year they didn't really play ball....my bill has crept up to $120 a month with...

    Congrats on the W

    I hope Steele and the offense can keep that up for you guys all season. If you play like that on offense all year long, I could definitely see an 8-4 season for ISU. Jantz played very well and I think you have a player there. My biggest fear going into yesterday was that ISU would be able to...

    Three Keys to Saturdays Game

    I've already made my prediction: IA gets the win 31-17. There are three keys that could alter my opinion of that: #1: ISU's DL play. If the line battle looks anything similar to what it looked like last year, ISU won't be in this game come the fourth quarter. ISU has to do a better job...

    My Thoughts on Iowa Vs. ISU & Prediction

    Game week is here. After watching the Iowa game for a second time, and coming to some conclusions based on listening to the ISU game on the radio/reading ISU fan's impression of last nights game, these are my thoughts on Saturday, plus my prediction. Thoughts on Iowa: - This DL will be wildly...

    ISU Football 2011

    I was just going through Iowa's 2011 schedule kind of figuring out where we'd stand and I was wondering how ISU fans feel they will be this fall. Where do you feel ISU will be better than last year? Where do you feel they will be worse? My general take (though I don't follow ISU football...

    Big East looking to add TCU?

    Big East looking to invite TCU? If the Big East can expand to 12 there would be room to add 4 schools...as there are only 8 members in the league currently (for football).

    CFN Prediction

    Here’s The Deal … Over the last several years, Iowa State has taken its cuts and came up with some stunning wins in this series. Rarely have the Cyclones been better than the Hawkeyes, but the cliché of throwing out the record books when these two go at it applies. However, it’s been...

    Nine observations from tonight

    1. ISU's OL, without any doubt, is not as strong as it was last season. As of my writing of this, Arob would only be averaging about 2.5 YPC if it weren't for his one big run and NIU is regularly pressuring Arnaud while only rushing 4. Arnaud is running the ball effectively with the zone...

    More Conference Expansion Rumors

    Thought it would be best to group all threads regarding expansion into one....there have been quite a few lately. So, until any new news breaks (I.E. a team actually announces it is moving from one conference to another), all speculation can be kept here. This was posted over on Hawkeyenation...
