I dont think i appreciate your tone today

I'm sure there are some younger users???

But let's face it, if you are using a message board format in 2026 (especially a paid version), it's likely your life is closer to the end than the beginning

My daughter is almost 8, and found an old picture taken looking south from mcdonalds i think? Seeing the happy joes sign, save u more i believe it was, and the 20th century bowling alley sign hit me so freaking hard. I feel old man

Count me in with the "old" crowd. I used to hang around Ames at an early age and remember all those places you listed. And to add to that, we used to go to Ruttle's to grab a burger after games.

You may be right. That really sounds familiar.

Well you don't have to be quite that blunt
I prefer experienced at life.

Boy you've got to give a lot of credit to Coach Mac. He's stayed loyal to ISU after all these years, makes it back a lot. Saw him during BB season. He is just a stand up full on Cyclone!

We fired him, yet he's never uttered a single negative word about Iowa State and is one of our biggest ambassadors.

That part always amazes me. He easily could have just walked away and never came back pretty sure he even came back a few times when he was at North Texas(?)

No pressure.

Won't it be great Cyclone Nation when we all realize Matt Campbell isn't the only guy that can lift Iowa State to new heights in football...but maybe Jimmy Rodgers can too!

We'll see how it goes and honestly a season is a long process as things ebb and flow but I get more of a 'just do the ****ing thing like we practiced and expect' vibe which imo is a good fit in the current era.

Jimmy seems to be what we need

The base is disappointed and angry at the fringes

Don't feed us a line. Play ******* football. Win games
