    Iowa Beat Writers

    It is a brilliant strategy in a lightly populated state where the greatest athletic asset is big farm boys. We haven't been able to do it. Ferentz - in his best years - churns out great linemen, pairs them with super mediocre skill players and a slow but stout defense, and plays boring...

    Yeah, the kid is a great player, but I'm pretty sure most capable punt returners would've housed that one.

    Old buddy Rhule

    Anyone else flip back and forth between this game and FLA/Utah? I did for the first half, then committed to FLA/Utah because it was night and day difference in quality. We may suck this year, but MN and NE both suck massive balls. Every forward pass was a challenge. I think Utah is pretty...

    State Fair Craft Beer Tent

    Yeah, I get it, but you'd expect it to be fun. It is not. Watch you like a hawk suspecting everyone is giving away beer. Just not a cool experience at all. These guys are in it to make money.

    Have volunteered in the past. Would never do it again. Not fun at all. Just a way for them to get free labor.

    Lua brewing introduces THC/CBD beverage

    Parizek is just dead-ass wrong here. These are the real deal. Table full of doubters (I'd had one the prior weekend so knew it was legit, but wondered if I just mis-remembered) had these Saturday eve. Felt great by the time they were gone. Brother was biggest doubter and he went back the...

    Student section/Cyclone Alley

    You sound super smart. You must know everything about offense AND defense. I guess I should just keep my stupid opinions to myself. Not like I have two students at ISU or have a valuable perspective to offer.

    Student section/Cyclone Alley

    You realize there is a tendency to lose interest when you've been turned away, right? Also, only so many tickets are sold, so some freshmen don't even get them. We're actively doing things to decrease interest in attending games for students. Looks great on TV when we have tents outside for...

    Student section/Cyclone Alley

    This is entirely Pollard's fault. Student tickets are criminally oversold. I have two sons at ISU. Junior was able to get a football/basketball season ticket. Freshman was not. In order to attend games you must wait in line to get inside Hilton. Oldest has waited several times in excess of...

    So Cyclone Larry has started a beef between ISU and UCF?

    Larry is way more clever than the WRNL guys. Those guys are Travis Justice level fart humor.

    Tough day for EIU hoops hopes

    Yeah I get it, but I think we need to keep that in mind before we jump all over Iowa. They didn't just beat us, it was an epic beat down. They exposed our West Virginia-style foul-fest defense. If you can pass and handle the ball, our D is a smokescreen. Need to move past that.

    Tough day for EIU hoops hopes

    You realize we got absolutely stomped by this $hitty Iowa team, right? Looks like we could've learned a thing or two from Fred on defense. That's weird.

    Are we better than Houston? /s

    I award you zero points and may God have mercy on your soul.

    Former Texas HC, now assaulter, fired

    He's the reason they weren't a losing team. Duh.
