    COLUMN: My nightmares about ISU's O-Line in 2016

    After reading what this staff did at Toledo with their o-lines, the only nightmare would have been Rhoads leading this team again in 2016.

    Lets just say Prohm leaving isn't a huge concern of mine...

    UNI Line

    I like Chris a lot. He's great for DSM sports radio, but I completely agree with this. He's gotten extremely negative about Cyclone sports in general. You would have thought after hiring Prohm and Campbell that he was near suicidal. I mean neither one appears to be a huge home run hire...

    Would we be a bowl team this year playing iowa's schedule?

    No. We couldn't even beat Toledo and KSU.

    Firing CPR is a big mistake

    Re: Well, are you satisfied? The bar is three wins in each of the last three seasons with Rhoads. I am pretty sure the next guy can find a way to win three games. As for recruits? Where can we find more 2 or 3 star players? And finally, we don't retain Rhoads simply so Lazard plays four...

    What We Need To See Against Baylor

    Lets face it, we aren't lining up man to man and beating Baylor. So why not try something completely crazy like this? Imagine the social media reaction? It would get people talking. We're already a joke, so it's not we're protecting some sacred image of Cyclones football.

    Hollywood's 100 Favorite TV Shows

    Missing for me: The Mod Squad Perry Mason Magnum PI (unless I missed it) And probably Three's Company (loved John Ritter) And a huge personal fave from Canada: Corner Gas. Edit: Also forgot WKRP in Cincinnati.

    Journey, Styx, or Foreigner?

    Journey and it's not even close. Their run of albums starting with Infinity (and Steve Perry joining) through Frontiers crushes any output that Styx or Foreigner may have had. Pretty much help created the power ballad and massive arena rock concerts. The only real reason they are popular to...

    Most disappointing concerts attended!

    As I mentioned in another thread, Tool during the Lateralus tour in Cedar Rapids was the worst show I've seen. Nothing like Maynard starting the show by berating the fans for not liking the crappy opening band. It only went downhill from there.

    Best Concert Ever Attended

    Please tell me the GnR show you saw wasn't when they were opening for Aerosmith, because they were awful. Slash could barely stand he was so drunk. A couple of my favorites: Pearl Jam opening for RHCP as Stevens (probably '91/'92). TSO (always awesome). Slipknot. Not a huge Slipknot fan...

    Preseason win totals for ISU

    What are you talking about? My expectations are 8/9 wins. ISU has had like, what...three seasons of 8 or more wins in my lifetime? With two of them coming during a time when I was too young and I cared more about Star Wars. One good season a decade. I guess I was getting greedy. Four wins...

    Preseason win totals for ISU

    Ecstatic? No. Just so beaten by sucking for so long that I guess I am willing to accept 5/6 wins as 'successful.'
