    Worst football broadcast ever?

    That is hilarious. I was thinking the same thing. Moved out of Iowa in 1989. I used to see Dolph late on Friday or Saturday night at Jukebox Saturday Night on Court Avenue. If I remember correctly he played basketball for Drake. May have even been on a Final Four team. Still laughing...

    Big 12 Conference Scheduling Hurts Iowa State

    I would like for Iowa State to have a bye week in the middle of the season. The entire season is built around the Big XII schedule. It would be great to have a one week break in the middle of the season and get 2 weeks to heal and prepare for the conference schedule. Looking at the future...

    Positives from today's game !

    It has been a tough year, but I'm am really looking forward the future of Iowa State Football. A question ABC's Ron Franklin asked reinforced my optimism. He asked, "Who was Mark Mangino's first Big XII game against?" Iowa State. ISU won 45-3. I remember that game and thinking the KU...

    Final ISU vs Kansas Predictions

    I'm sure sure Chizik and Company have done their best game planning of the year for Kansas. Kansas players are thinking about playing Missouri in Arrowhead the following week...if only a little bit. Iowa State isn't going to a Bowl game. There is no tomorrow. This is a springboard for next...

    Iowa State +26...?

    Bodog has Iowa State at +27. Everyone else has ISU between +25.5 and +26.5. Looks like the O/U is settling at 58 everywhere. A couple SportsTalk shows I listened to yesterday had listeners calling in with their "locks". Majority of people calling in liked ISU +26 or Missouri -7.

    After watching the replay

    I really like all the accolades Tuba is getting in this thread. Tuba has continued to positively impress me from the first time he set foot on the field. He has consistently overacheived. Keep in mind he got to campus late last fall. If I remember correctly he was recruited as an Offensive...

    Iowa State +26...?

    Can't find an over/under yet. Probably won't until Wednesday. Spread is ISU +25.5 right now. Spread could easily grow because more money will come in on KU. Wild guess, but based on the big point spread and scoring of ISU and KU over the last three weeks the O/U is probably not going to be...

    Mangino joke thread

    Is this a CyBookie poll? My points are on Mangino. Not trying to be funny at his expense and not ridiculing those who do. Seriously, the man is morbidly obese and could keel over at any time. What chronic disease does Mark Mangino have to explain his weight problem? All kidding aside...

    Travel to Kansas

    As of now...planning to be there. Been to Lawrence the last two ISU vs. Kansas games. Probably get into town early, buy tickets, and move to the Iowa State section. Since KU football fan interest is high, it might actually be a little difficult to get tickets.

    Dump UNLV and reschedule someone else?

    I hope this isn't true. That game is circled on the calendar for next year. Going with with about ten other guys and the wives. Hadn't picked a hotel yet but we've decided we need a good sportsbook. Been looking for a good reason to take a fun trip to Vegas...this was it.

    Here's to you, Mr. Robinson

    It is my understanding Alexander Robinson was known as "Alexander the Great" when he played HS Football in the Twin-Cities. He played great on Saturday. It's going to be fun watching him develop for three more years.

    Class shown by CU

    I don't know if anyone else remembered this from last weekend, but ESPN Football Analyst and former NFL QB Ron Jaworski mentioned it usually takes at least 18 seconds to get the field goal team on the field, the officials to spot the ball, and the ball snapped for a field goal attempt. I...

    Key West

    Go to Jimmy Buffet's Margaritaville. Good live music at night. Lots of great restaurants. Islamorada in the middle keys has a great seafood market. As suggested in earlier post, go flat fishing with a guide. Your spouse will like hanging out on the boat in the sun if she doesn't want to fish.

    Halloween Hawkeye Costume

    Feel bad for the kid if he didn't get candy because of his costume. On the other hand he probably doubled-up on candy a few times from Iowa fans. Ms. Franklin didn't say her son was refused by a Cyclone, Panther, other Big 10/11 fan, etc....so we shouldn't make any assumptions. Last year I...

    toddlers at ISU football games ???

    Two-minute warning is in effect. Head for the restrooms with two minutes left in the half and hope you don't miss anything. Since they're at a Football game they might get a drink in a "big cup".

    Cbssportsline ISU MBB prediction

    Gary Parrish is A FOOL!!!! At least try to get a copy of each schools the Media Guide before trying to write a story that could be published. I don't know how some sportswriters (using the term sportswriter loosely) can pull a check. Does anyone remember Iowa State's Pre-Season Big XII...

    DT recruiting.....

    He comes from a great Oklahoma High School Team in Midwest city. Class 5A State Champions last year. Seen a few TV highlights of the team. Pierre Alexander is listed as 6'1"/301 on the Carl Albert High School website. There are probably better Big XII prospects on this team. This one of the...

    Offense 2008

    I like Jerome Tiller to win QB next year. Nice to have a lot of competiton at the QB spot. OL should be much improved. TE's and WR's should be a strength. RB's are good but I hope Coach Chizik recruits a few more. Don't mean to rush the season, but all I want for Christmas is two...

    Anyone hear about possible getting out of big12

    No. It's ridiculous.

    Rumor has it that Callahan is out

    University of Nebraska Chancellor, Harvey Perlman may actually pay the bill...with his job. The Omaha media and message boards claim several donors are threatening to cut-off the funds if changes aren't made. Who is responsible for giving Pederson an undeserved raise and ultimately the...
