    How many off you middle aged people remember this tune?

    mharder is correct. This song is "The Last Resort". Henley sang it, but it is an Eagles song. He co-wrote it with Glen Frey, but it was mostly Henley. I don't agree with their political views, but I'm proud to be a middle age Eagles fan. I've even stood on the corner in Winslow, Arizona...

    So, why is the ISU pass D so bad?

    The Tampa 2 is a variation of the Cover 2, but it's not just a matter of semantics. They are different. Both require speed at all linebacker postions. However, the Tampa 2 especially requires it at the MLB as he as deep middle responsibility. Jesse Smith makes a lot of plays but he lacks...

    did anyone else.....

    People might not like Sweet Caroline, but at least the crowd -especially the student section -gets in to it. Sorry, but the crowd was dead during Bon Jovi - or whoever that was. You might diss Sweet Caroline, but the crowd is involved. This week, the place was dead during the timeout between...

    He led with his pads. You can lead with your pads and still get your bell rung! That call was crap.

    What was the #1 song on your birthdate?

    Soldier Boy by the Shirelles - 1962. I can't believe how young some of you are. Or maybe it's just how old I am

    Dorm Stories

    Spring semester 1982, we had a keg every Thursday night. It was never planned, just happened. Back then kegs were cheaper and rules were lax. We could do just about anything we wanted so that's what we did. That's all I'll say, because its probably best that what happened at ISU in the early...

    If you could have one player back from last year?

    Extremely easy answer - Will Blaylock. Consistant guard play has really hurt us this year.

    The color guy was horrible.

    Until I saw him on camera, I seriously thought it might be the guy from ESPN World Series of Poker. He sounded just like him. I guess that style works better with poker than with basketball
