    LOOKING AHEAD FOR ISU FOOTBALL: Week 11, the Utah Utes

    I was today days old when I was looking at the Utah schedule and realized y'all were coming HERE... I had my brain convinced it would be at Trice again. As a former OLympic Volunteer (who will be wayyy too old do do that shiznit again in2034) I would be glad to help anyone coming out here...

    ***Official 2024-25 College Football (non-ISU) Thread***

    Always a bad idea to not forward anything like Sexual harassment or violence ALLLLLLL the way up the ladder.. Perhaps Anderson meant well and tried to deal with things, but apparently, SOMEONE was unhappy with his involvement.. Sigh.. Poor USU if they could just have held on to the OTHER...

    Happy 4th of July.

    Hey there. THanks for the simple cheery uplifting celebratory post. Too bad we cant generate more simple good will like this! Every day my disabilities are a harsh reminder of the ultimate price I'm paying for my 8 years Navy service as a Corpsman - I"ll never be able to walk normally again...

    Hey peeps, Best of luck inyour game tomorrow! I hope you wil root fo rus tonight against VCU - our team is shaping up to be a mild Cinderella.. bounced from our own tournament early, and only like 5th or 6th place in conference. We win (at home) tonight, and it is off to NIT Final Four in...

    I talked to nearly a dozen peeps at Utah's shellacking of Iowa last night (Utah intentionally held the ball for 30 secs, and Iowas launched a last second long bomb that went in otherwise spread would have been like14 or so, so not at close as the score indicates - was a lead of 18 at one point)...

    ***Official 2024 NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament Thread***

    As Sunday night in UTAH, it was never going to be full, but the crowd that *was* there (myself included) had a great time. And I think we've identified an Iowa homer ref. NO ONE had any idea where he was coming up with so many of his calls, 99% of them against Utah in the most sketchy or...

    Like with any large fan base, especially the fire the Utah football program has lit here, you are gonna have your squeaky wheel, gigantic PITA jackholes. Please try your best to just ignore the morons. Heck use a mute or block button liberally! I do that on Facebook, twitter, etc, and my...

    Man I wish I could afford to go to even one of the games here.. but things are soooo different than the 1990s tournaments I attended at the Jon Huntsman center - famous home of the legendary Larry Bird/Magic Johnson matchup.

    Hello strangers.. Just popping in from Salt Lake City to congratulate you on your big win today! At the same time the city has a definite buzz of non-sympathy for BYU choking in their game - less schadenfreude, than "I told you so/they deserved it". Cant wait for the fall when we Utes...

    Thank you for sharing that link to our local station; I dont ever watch normal OTA TV, and dont have cable, so I would never have seen this otherwise!

    WOOOEEEE! Helluva Game, Clones!

    Is truly fair to tar an entire fanbase because a few tryhard uber loudmouths decide to strut around? I am 150% certain Iowa State has some such troublemakers, as does every fanbase. In a medium where we cant see each others faces or hear vocal tones, it seems only fair to *try* and give...

    WOOOEEEE! Helluva Game, Clones!

    I apologize.. I thought the meme of "Circle of suck" was wider spread than it apparently is. PAC12 was notorious for canniblaism, but at least twice, maybe 3 times in 13 years there was a completed chain of defeats in the members - here is an example The Pac 12 Circle of Suck is COMPLETE...

    WOOOEEEE! Helluva Game, Clones!

    Classy way to treat a 100% disabled service connected Navy veteran; ironically I was a Hospital Corpsman -- all those years healing others only to end up suffering so many problems as a result. Chronic/recurring problems with my knees led to a MRSA infection, per doctor, I barely survived the...

    WOOOEEEE! Helluva Game, Clones!

    I'm sorry... <shrug>. I tried to be as clear and honest about being very happy for your great stroke of fortune. Sometimes there are genuine people on the interwebz, ya know. I realize one of the big drawbacks to texting, boardposting, etc, is the lack of context clues from voice tone of...

    WOOOEEEE! Helluva Game, Clones!

    Just wanted to pop on and show y'all some of we "Red Iowa" folks are definitely in your corner! I wish I could have watched live, but I don't have the proper service. In any case, congrats on your contribution to this years Big 12 Circle of Suck. I have totally lost track of who beat who, who...

    Congrats from a BYU fan!

    I'm addressing specifically their period of "independence". Their AD et al were so angry about not being taken with Utah to PAC, that someone somehow deluded themselves into thinking leaving MWC was a brilliant idea. Sigh. Not so much. While the temptation to schadenfreude is definitely...

    Congrats from a BYU fan!

    YOU try wandering in the desert of Independence but at power 5 tier for over a decade, with no championship to play for, and after the first loss it's all for some meaningless bowl.. you, too, would be ecstatic to be jumping back into the big pond. For someone like me who grew up admiring BYU...
