***Official Texas @ Iowa St. Game Thread***

Re: ***OFFICIAL; Texas @ Iowa State Game(day) Thread***

Okay, that quote is amazing, and it feels like it sums up exactly what it's like to be an ISU fan. We may have more losses than we like, but the wins are always so much more sweet. Totally stealing that and putting it on Facebook.

I am sooooo jacked up for today. For those of you saying that you are nervous for a letdown...I think back to a quote from one of my favorite books.

"The pleasure of rooting for Goliath is that you can expect to win. The pleasure of rooting for David is that, while you don't know what to expect, you stand at least a chance of being inspired."

-Michael Lewis: author of "Money Ball"

Let's get inspired CYCLONES!

it is remarkable progress by Rhoads to create expectations of winning against Texas win or lose, he has this team on a trajectory few of us have ever seen before, I am just enjoying the ride

I wonder what it felt like for texas getting off the plane in this weather. Cyclone victory :biggrin:.

I wish we could play Texa$ in November, if Mack Brown thinks this is cold for his players. Maybe swap them and OSU on the schedule.

The 3rd OT TD against Iowa made the Gameday lead promo, talking about surprise undefeated Big 12 teams.

Wow, I am watching College Game Day on ESPN and couldn't believe what I saw. In the background, among a sea of Wisconsin fans, someone was holding a sign with the EIU kittyhawk logo on it.

Iowa does a great job of marketing by making sure at least one person is there with a sign or flag sent from the Alumni Association.

Our Alumni Association would be smart to start getting our brand out there too.

It's worked well for Washington State.

I agree like most that this is the most jacked I've ever been for an ISU FB game. I'm all in on the culture CPR change, and this game will be decided in the 4th quarter.
