Who will be the guest picker?
- Thread starter MuskieCy
- Start date
ESPN isn't going to pick someone who is going to piss of the Athletic Department more specifically Pollard or Campbell.
It is suppose to be a complete surprise. Though I wouldn't be surprised if it has been leaked in the past.
Dan McCarney would be a great choice. Knows the rivalry probably better than anybody. Very charismatic too.
I'd still bet that it'll be some random celebrity with state of Iowa ties

Maybe if he had more success here. ISU fans know how important he was to our program and how he really started to turn things around for us. However everyone else in the nation would look at his track record and call him a failed coach. Doesnt make it true however he is a complete unknown outside of Iowa.
It's not a surprise. The picker is usually announced the Thursday before. They tweeted it was Matthew McConaughey last Thursday:
There's not exactly a long list of great choices. DM is as good as any I've heard.
Although I agree with what you said
You have to look at him through the lens of the rivalry:
*Born in Iowa City
*Played at Iowa (before the renewal)
*Assistant coach at Iowa (13 years, incl. 2 as GA)
*Head coach at Iowa State (12 years)
*25 total Cy-Hawk games -- 9-4 at Iowa, 6-6 at ISU
You either meant PORN or PRAWN. I'm going with prawnstar?
But again NOBODY outside of ISU fans will have a clue. With a Gameday audience of ten million (guess) why would they pick someone nobody recognizes but for the 75th biggest TV market in the upper midwest?
Samantha Ponder always loved visiting ISU, works for ESPN, and was once interviewed by a certain @ChrisMWilliams.
I am already preparing myself for it to be someone meh or an iowa homer celebrity. My hope is either Seneca or Sage. Fred would be the obvious choice if he was still unemployed.
I can only see two possibilities:
Seneca if they are going to go the former player at the school route.
An Iowan that is a pop culture celebrity, unfortunately probably someone like Ashton Kutcher.
There just aren't any nationally recognized celebrities with Iowa State connections. If they want to go outside the box they could do computer picks and tell the story of the Atanasoff–Berry digital computer.
