    X's and O's question

    Not having ever played football I was wondering if someone could explain what the difference between a strong and free safety is? For as much football as I've watched, in person and on TV, I'm kind of surprised that I don't really know the answer, nor have I heard it explicitly explained. Just...

    WTB: Gene Chizik Coin

    I'm in a fantasy football league with a bunch of other ISU alumni, and we're looking to introduce a last-place trophy. I went online to try and track down the oft-chided Gene Chizik coin and they're surprisingly difficult to find (perhaps ISU did a little work to make them disappear?) Anyway...

    Tickets @West Virginia

    Me and some friends from the Ohio area are planning to attend the WV game on March 9th. Anybody know the best way to get tickets for away games? Is there any sort of "away section" like in football? Any advice appreciated.

    Going to my first PGA event!

    My friend's dad has tickets to the Memorial, and gave us his final round tickets for Sunday! I'm really excited. Anybody ever been to a PGA event? Nobody in my group has ever been to one so does anybody have tips on what to do and what to expect? What should I wear, particularly shoes? I don't...

    Android wi-fi headaches

    When I'm on campus there are 2 wi-fi networks available and my phone always picks the wrong one. "OSU Wireless" is the University's network which is fast, full signal strength and password protected. Then there's "ATT Public wi-fi" which is slow, almost no signal strength, and requires me to go...

    Engineering a Statistically Average Bracket

    Hey guys. This is a tad long, but I think it revealed some interesting stuff to use on your brackets this week. I hope you'll take a few minutes to read through! Since I'm a sucker for Cinderella, my brackets usually have WAY too many upsets. With this in mind I wanted to gather some data...

    Please explain why K-State gets to maul the other team

    Ever since we played them it's been nagging at me. Why does havng a "physical style of play" get you a free pass with the referees? Aren't the rules supposed to be pretty concrete? In football I get it: Wisconsin is more Physical than, say Oregon. They have bigger guys, run more and stack the...

    Snow at Jack Trice

    I see a lot of people hoping for snow at the OSU game. This got me wondering: How would the field be cleared in this situation? I thought most pro stadiums have heating systems under the field, but does Jack Trice have such a system? Can natural grass surface have heating? Just kind of...

    Looking for stream of tonight's game...

    Fox Sports Ohio has Columbus Blue Jackets Hockey on tonight. Is there going to be one of those janky web-streams available somewhere? I know I watched OU-Mizzou online but I don't remember the website. Any suggestions appreciated. Thanks!

    I'm not a Texas fan but...

    I'm a fan of their fans. I have been lurking on shaggybevo lately and they're definitely an entertaining bunch. Anyone ever been down to Austin? Are they as fun in person? Also, the board seems pretty level-headed and rational which isn't what I expected. Is that just because it's a board...

    Is there even a motive any more?

    Is there more money for OU, OSU, UT, and TTU to leave and go to the Pac 12(16) or does all this shuffling have to do with something else? Last summer the motives were obvious. Colorado's heart wasn't in it. Nebraska was butthurt and wanted more money. OU, OSU, UT and TTU were going to leave to...

    Lawyer Question: Could this be a class action suit?

    Hey guys, fair warning this'll be kind of long. Back in 2003 my dad bought a Chevy Impala. This car had an "internal" antena built into the rear windshield, and the excellent sound system was a heavily advertised feature in the car's literature (this is an important point later). After a few...

    Wanted: One Hill/Student ticket to Iowa

    Yes I realize this is an outrageous request. If anyone is willing to part with an Iowa ticket my plans recently changed and I'm now able to go to the game. PM me or just reply and maybe we can work something out.

    ISU Alumni Association: Worth it?

    Hey guys. I'm graduating in May and they're starting to push the ISUAA on us. Just wondering if it's worth the money, what benefits you get, what benefits you actually enjoy, if the money is better spent on something else (cough, cough, Gridiron Club), etc. I figure we must have a few ISUAA...

    Say Yes to the Dress: Drinking Game

    Everytime a girl in the room with you screams "It's ugly," you drink. Drink for every year the bride and groom knew each other before they got engaged. If the groom is more than 10 years older than the bride, drink. Also, every guy must cheers and say "Nice." For every guy in the bride's...

    Dumbest thing you've done while sleepwalking/semi-conscious/half-asleep?

    So I've had an interesting morning so far. I had a really weird nightmare and woke up, standing up, half-awake and still on edge. I wandered out of my bedroom into the living room, turned the lights on and came back to reality. At this point I was like "Okay, no biggie, back to bed." Door's...
