Looking for the 2/14/89 DM Register that coined Hilton Magic
Thanks ruxCYtable, CycloneErik, and everyone else--that's interesting. I pulled out my ISU basketball media guide and confirmed that the official story from ISU is indeed the Des Moines Register column on 2/14/89 by Buck Turnbull. However, it seems the spiritual start may have been the '83...- JunoSosa

Looking for the 2/14/89 DM Register that coined Hilton Magic
Sadly the DM Register only has online archives going back to 2002. I checked. Has anyone tried to make a copy of microfilm? Is it legible? (By the way, I'm in California, so its a bit tough to saunter into Parks.)- JunoSosa

Looking for the 2/14/89 DM Register that coined Hilton Magic
Hi everyone: Huge favor to ask-- does anyone have the February 14, 1989 edition of the Des Moines Register that was the origin of the "Hilton Magic" wording? I quote cyclones.com: The now famous moniker for Iowa State’s home basketball facility was coined by Des Moines Register writer Buck...- JunoSosa

A simple proposal: BIG XII >>> BIG 18
Like many of you, I abhor the conference musical chairs and lament the loss of geographical/traditional rivals. My proposal recognizes there is too much money to be made, but still preserves a geographical solution. If the ACC implodes, why not do this? Have 8 division games + 1... -
Some Jack Trice related questions:
To be fair, I have been in the special collections room many times, but currently live in Los Angeles. Thus I am relying on you good people! -
Some Jack Trice related questions:
Thanks for this. While I knew the origin story already, I purchased the article image via PDF and was able to read the whole article. Also, no one knows when we started using away jerseys in football? With some of the supplied links, it appears ISC sometimes had numbers on the uniforms... -
Some Jack Trice related questions:
Hi all: Doing some research on Jack Trice and Iowa State's football team of that era. Hoping some of you can help with these questions. Thanks in advance: 1.) When did we start using away uniforms? Would the 1923 team have had more than one type of uniform? Did the team have numbers on... -
Matt Blair research assistance needed>>>
Re: You might enjoy this. Also found this picture of Matt jumping up with his finger heavily taped. What could be under that tape? Lets look at the attachment. -
Matt Blair research assistance needed>>>
Hi all: Been researching Matt Blair's career and I could use more help from the historians on this site. As many of you know, Blair was probably ISU's best football player ever. All-Big 8, All-American, Sun Bowl MVP, All-Rookie, All-Pro, Super Bowl IX and XI, and soon to be NFL Hall of... -
Marketplace for ISU gear help needed>>>
Some great comments in here. Thanks to everyone-- keep it coming. I had never heard of '47. Interesting. I enjoy companies that pay a bit more attention to the story, and don't just slap the product in front of you with no fanfare. Seems like the big three for almost everyone is: USB...- JunoSosa

Marketplace for ISU gear help needed>>>
Hi all: I am currently gauging the marketplace regarding ISU gear. I have a few questions for the good people of CF: 1. What ISU stuff do you like the best? Companies? 2. Where do you buy your ISU stuff? 3. Do you have any ISU art or collectables? For myself, I like the vintage...- JunoSosa

Who was the most notorious prison warden (i.e. defender) in ISU history?
Looking to drum up some more interest. Recall the thread about the best DL in ISU history-- would any of those people have been a "prison warden", i.e. once the opposing player got under the control of the "prison warden", they weren't coming out. How about Ron "Sugar Bear" McFarland? Was he...- JunoSosa

Who was the most notorious prison warden (i.e. defender) in ISU history?
I should clarify I am looking for that person that caused opposing teams to game plan around entirely. Think of Deion during his prime. Most teams just went the opposite direction. Ultimately, that can cause a feared player to have no stats whatsoever. Deion never had many interceptions...- JunoSosa

Best magicians with the ball in ISU MBB history?
A few of you have alluded to the ISU vs CU game where Tinsley put on a show. Does anyone know exactly which game that was? In 2000, was it this one at CU? Tinsley scored 42 in this one, but we lost in OT. Or this one at Hilton? Tinsley had 13 points and 6 assists. In 2001, was it...- JunoSosa

Please help solve the mystery that has plagued my life
I just watched the Peanut Butter Solution on Google Video: Peanut Butter Solution As previously mentioned, it seems to hit all of the high points, but I still can't find the smoking gun of the shopping cart in the alley. However, at this point, I am willing to concede that it may have very... -
Please help solve the mystery that has plagued my life
The Peanut Butter Solution-- doesn't ring any bells, but as I watch it on Google Video, it is hitting all of the appropriate points-- a white boy and asian boy that could pass for Mikey and Data from Goonies, a shopping cart with a kid in it, an evil white painter with facial hair, paintings... -
Please help solve the mystery that has plagued my life
Hmm, not bad. The alley scene was definitely in the daytime. The alley was on the left portion of the screen and the window was on the right. The shopping cart was gray. One kid may have been sitting in it to get a better view of the window. I believe the painter was wearing a white lab... -
Please help solve the mystery that has plagued my life
Honestly, I believe it was a movie, but it could've easily been a TV show. Aww, heck, I have no idea. Judging by how much haze surrounds my memory, this was probably before X-Files. I watched a lot of Disney channel and family channel shows, so it could've easily been a TV movie.
