    Couldn't we cash in?

    If we have 4 teams remaining in the Big XII when it's all said and done, I believe the other 8 teams have to pay $10 million each. That leaves the remaining teams with some money to use to get other teams to join. Pay their conference buyouts, and bring them to the Big XII. If the conference...

    We need to win the tip vs. TT

    I won the Allegiant Air promo, and I would love the round trip tickets. I think the odds are against me. I don't recall us winning too many tips this year. Whitey

    P'Allen Stinnett

    I haven't seen any box scores, but Mitch Holtis was on KXNO saying that he was going off for Creighton. I think he mentioned something like 23 points.

    KState Defense

    Does anyone else think that their defense looks a lot like Skledany's? They are fast, but they over pursue which allows for screens and misdirections to gain a lot of yards. We beat the Wildcats with the same type of plays teams used against us over the last handful of years.

    McFarland and the RB's

    Isn't it fantastic to see an OC trying out more than one player at a position when the status quo isn't working? It makes me wonder how many yard Koch could have gained last year, if we hadn't continued to put Hicks in when he couldn't average better than the 4 yards a carry. I love to see...

    Gleuk beer?

    Can anyone tell me about this beer? At Cub, cases sell for under $10. Is this Mil's Best quality, or slightly higher? I tried the Pilsner and Wheat beers from the Point brewery (< $5 for a six pack of bottles), and I can't recommend either. Always looking for a quality beer at a good price.

    OT: Gaelic Storm

    Hey all, A while back I saw a Gaelic Storm concert on DirecTV's HD channel. I really enjoyed the Irish/rock music. Well, last night they played People's at Court Ave. in Des Moines. It was one of the best shows that I've seen in a long, long time. If you ever get a chance, check these guys...

    Cotton to Louisville

    I know it's not entirely ISU football news. However, his going to Louisville over Iowa means that we'll probably never have to play this kid when he's got an ax to grind with ISU.

    I met my new neighbor.

    Ken Sheppard, his wife Shelaine (sp?), and Ken junior moved in next door. They all seem like great people, and they're making the transition from Austin well. Ken says that everyone has been great, and he's enjoying Ames. He is a very big man. He must work out alone with every player to stay...

    My 2 cents on Taylor's punishment

    I'm not on board with cutting Taylor loose. If McDermott wants to make a tough statement, I would suspend him for the first five games of the season. In addition, I would tell him to get a student loan, and I would give Thompson back his scholarship. This, to me, would be tough, but fair, way...
