    How bad are we?

    I went looking for some perspective on how bad the football team really is this year. When you look at objective, computer based rankings (I think it's the only way to avoid regional/conference bias) you will find ISU ranked in the 70-80 range. Pretty bad. Definitely unacceptable. But what...

    South Carolina vs Baylor

    Forgot Frank Martin was coaching the Gamecocks now. With his experience against Baylor, this could be interesting.

    West Virginia vs Va Tech

    Isn't Virginia Tech supposed to be one of the worst teams in the ACC? This game doesn't bode well for the Mountaineers.

    My first trip to Twin Peaks

    I thought I would go to Twin Peaks to watch the game yesterday. Walk in the door, and I'm greeted by a bunch of girls all wearing Hawkeye gear. Sit at the bar and they have the volume turned up for the Hawk game, but muted on the Cyclone game. Even after the Iowa game was over, instead of...

    Got my Phil Steele!

    A couple tidbits: As mentioned before he has Klein fourth team AA. Oddly he has Klein ranked 13th at ILB and Knott ranked 8th at OLB, but Knott isn't an AA. He also has both of them as 1st team big XII but has the ISU linebackers ranked 5th in the conference.

    My observations at the OSU game

    I only get to one or two games a year. Last night was the first time I had been to a game since the first game of last season. The first thing I noticed was during the player introductions. During the intro for OSU they kept the music playing over the PA system. Kinda drowns out the whole "5...

    Gus Johnson

    I know that his style is a bit polarizing, but I can't wait to hear what kind of things he does when calling the game next Saturday. :jiggy:

    Phil Steele's magazine!

    Got my copy. Haven't had too much chance to really dig into it, but he doesn't expect much more from ISU than any of the other prognostcators.

    First BCS standings.

    Looks like the computers agree with the voters on everybody but the Hawks and the Trojans. I really hope this is the year that the BCS can't defend itself from all the critics. There could be as many as 6 undefeated teams at the end of the year. 4 is probably more realistic, but I'm holding...

    Phil Steele looking for blogger

    Just visited Phil Steele' site and noticed he is looking for a blogger for every team. Doesn't look like the ISU position has been filled yet. I don't fancy myself the blogger type, but thought somebody else on here might be interested.
