    Tulsa as 2 point favorite........

    I just read about 16 pages of posts on this thread and not one person has even talked about how point spreads work and what the point of them even is. It's not so much about who is actually going to win the game on the field that day- Vegas couldnt care less about that. It's about setting a...

    Michael O'Connell Injury?

    I see he is still the #1 on the Depth Chart for this week, but I was just curious if anyone has heard how significant his hand injury was last Thursday? He had it wrapped up after the game, and I assumed he would be playing this week as long as nothing serious was wrong. But I did hear he was...

    Sims information

    Wow. Im sure he was kidding--obviously Sims isnt actually going to come to this site to talk about it.

    Rankings change anyone's mind?

    Nothing's changed for me. I've always said we'd get the same record as last year with another bowl win. I really do believe that. However, I really cant blame anybody outside our program to feel the same way. Consider the number of returning starters, take one look at our schedule, while...

    Which conference game in 2010...

    Best chances of "killing" somebody: KU or CU. But neither are likely, I'd say. I doubt KU will "suck" THAT bad, and have we ever killed it in Boulder? Best chances of pulling an upset: Tech or Mizzou. I bet we are dogs to Tech with where it's at on the schedule (they have a buy the week...

    Recruit: Teddy Lampkin

    Re: TEDDY LAMPKIN: STATE TRACK MEET Is this guy interested in ISU or even play Fball? Why would this be on a football forum?

    Did Jon Miller attend the U of I?

    I guess i dont see how many of "us people" coming to IC to watch our team play has anything to do with what people are talking about. Just dont see what that statment is getting at... And is it me, or is everyone here just throwing their 2 cents in towards the same opinion. Sounds like...

    Did ISU not get an Athlon cover?

    True, and true again. When i saw it, i basically just chuckled and said "imagine that".

    Did ISU not get an Athlon cover?

    Whoa, easy there. A little over-defensive perhaps? And weR138, dont you think you are taking this a little too seriously? So we arent on a cover of a bad magazine. why get so worked up over it? Certainly you are used to this sort of thing by now. We are notoriously under publicized and covered...

    Big 12 player rankings from CFN

    Absolutely right. ARob SHOULDNT get 1800 yards. With the depth that we have at RB and WR, and with the increased dependability on other facets of our game, there's no reason to even play AR enough to run for that much. Now, yes, he is CAPABLE of those kind of production numbers. But 1500+ is...

    Wins/Losses for Clones

    I can agree with most predictions on here. Most of us see anywhere from 5-7 regular season wins this year. I think 6-6 is the most realistic guess i can make. Without going through week by week with my W's/L's, I see us with 5 wins going into the finale with Mizzou. That makes me quite...

    Big 12 - Voted 2nd Best Conference

    As much as many of us may not like the Big 10 for whatever reasons, it is extremely hard to say they are weaker than the ACC and Pac-10, IMO. No matter what your criteria, whether it be bowl wins/appearances, Top 10 finishers, NC appearances/wins, BCS-game appearances/wins... how is the overall...

    QB Jared Barnett headed to Ames in 2 weeks!

    Gotta redshirt this kid. He looks very talented and will certainly be a threat with his feet. But he isnt going to beat out Arnaud or Tiller, so lets see what he can do after a year in the system in 2011

    Wins/Losses for Clones

    That, AND we play them in week 4, rather than in week 1 or 2, like we usually do. We will have already had 3 tough games in NIU, @ Iowa, and also a conference game with KSU. I normally would agree that UNI wouldnt be a push-over, but playing them week 4 after three solid opponents already is in...

    Williams Blog: Cupcake City!

    The competitive player and the game-day fan in me wants to see us continue with the current non-con schedules. I personally enjoy watching us play solid competition and unique teams. It's fun. Plain and simple. Can many of you really disagree with that? (Aside from the big picture that our...

    New "50,805" Seat Stadium

    Exactly. A comparison between the latter could be made using the EXACT SAME WORDS as this guy did.

    Colorado Trip/Gridiron Club

    I haven't heard anything specific about the Grid Club, but I was planning on making the trip out there for the game. I've thought about taking the train--has anyone taken the train out to CO for a game? Is that preferrable to driving? Im looking forward to a game in Boulder. Always heard there's...

    What do you expect?

    It was actually the 2nd half of many games (in particular conference games) that we actually looked like a solid basketball team. The problem was we were down by 20+ to start the 2nd half and our "comeback" was just too-little-too-late. Of course there were a few exceptions where yes, we did...

    2010 Season

    Is that *Regular* season 2010? Or is that saying we lose the bowl game and go 6-7? With 6 wins, that's basically saying we win the games we are "supposed" to win or really "should" win, +/- a game depending on one's opinion on which games are to be considered "should" wins. Now, assuming...
