OT - Most Overused Phrases on CF
- Thread starter CyinCo
- Start date
Where did this start? I've seen it here for years. It's among the dorkiest things ISU fans do.
Actually, the correct wording is "pry" which I have seen a few CFers use. There is a book about how Iowans talk and I never realized we said it this way until I saw that book. So an Iowan will say, "I'll pry be there bout 7:00." Another one that book pointed out to me was "goat." As in, "I'm gonna goat the store." We don't say "go to", we just say "goat." Speaking Iowegian!
I think it started with Rhoads because it seemed clever that Coach Paul Rhoads could be shortened to CPR. It's dumb.
'...'
'amazing fanbase'
best fanbase in college footbal....(this one hurts because in the same sentence they talk about the lack of actual success, which to me translates to loyal yet kinda stupid fans)

I think it's more because no one was ever 100% sure they were spelling his name right.
I personally don't think that will ever get old. You can use it in almost any context when a quasi orgasmic play occurs.
Unfortunately they never stop Bayloring. So it usually still applies
Can't recruit to Ames because...
That includes the airport inaccessibility sub-set.
Also, ISU will never be great in Football, because we never have been. Yet.
OTOH I get the cynicism. I'm old and have seen every possible way to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. It's just that never is a long long time.

I'd like to agree with the first one of these but when that TSpence guy put that out there, it just sounded so ridiculous that endless ridicule seems like the only option.
