I think cyrocksmysassydramapants is trying to say he will pretty much disappear after mid-October
Hey pants, welcome back. Someone said you had a really funny menstruation joke, but I missed it. Can you share it again?
And besides...this is RTV, a whole new ballgame. CG's bigtiming us now that she's a manager, and you can't stay outta the penalty box. Judging by the stats, I'm the boss on this boat, you can call me skipper. KC's making a helluva first mate. JC's putting in some solid minutes. Woo, Box putting in their normal workmanlike effort...they're not name in lights guys, but ones you can count on. Wxman is above the mendoza line, so that's good.
I think CG just felt the pressure and spotlight and disappeared.
It's alright, CG. Nothing to be ashamed of. Some people just can't catch the ball for an out thingy when the pressure is on. No shame in that.
Well to improve my standing. Here is a post I just got on my status from the WRNL article on A.N.A.L.
"Never mind this that whole "America Needs Farmers" thing was a political statement being made by the University during the farm crisis in the 80s and actually has no relationship with agricultural research. I think the stupid thing, and this is really more about Iowa State's support of the proposed Board of Regents funding formula change, is that Iowa so called "lost appeal with appeal with in state kids" is virtually non-existent compared to ISU's? Iowa's and Iowa State's numbers are pretty much the same... Like 55% and 60% respectively. External appeal is what makes your diploma worth something.
Not so great satire."
I knew the guy in high school and he is VERY politically and policy minded.

This is all very confusing. Is he essentially saying that it is better to put lipstick on a pig (make a political statement) than to teach someone to fish (agricultural research)? I'm not exactly mixing metaphors. I think I'm trying to match mixed metaphors.
I was thinking the same thing...he's pretty much making the point....it was hollow words 30 years ago when it came out, and they're still milking it for all it's feel-good emptiness is worth.
I view him as an academic who knows a lot but can't put it in words to normal people.
That and beauty is in the eye of the beholder. We all think it is awesome because it is and we are Cyclones. As a hawk that can't see the comedy in it. Kudos to Coach Fry for capitalizing on an apparent bad time for farmers in Iowa. ISU missed out. Still doesn't take away the accomplishments of ISU's colleges of Ag and Vet science.

ISU was probably too busy, you know, actually helping farmers to be able to capitalize on their misfortunes with a marketing scheme.
