I notice the Boise entry has the dreaded "for all intensive purposes." :skeptical:

Sorry, had to get that out of the way before I continued reading ...

ha! I'll make fun of the author for you (and get that corrected)

he's a little slow on the uptake - which is seemingly one of our qualifications.:cool:

Stop by the WRNL tailgate. We will be forcing Jer to drink as much StripnGoNaked (or WOP, if you prefer) as humanly possible.

Where is the WRNL tailgate going to be? I'm looking for a good tailgate to frequent on gamedays since none of my friends are doing tailgating...

Thanks for asking mk, but we don't want to look like we're "advertising" too much over here, so as not to take advantage of CW & CF. We will have details on tailgating events in the near future on the WRNL site.

Sometimes I think that those close losses showed that we were not a bad team, but not a good team. We could compete but we couldn't close the deal (forget the ugly losses against OU or Texas - I'm talking about losses against Mizzou, K-State, KU, etc). It's more of a mental issue: you know what you need to do in certain situations.
Looks like CPR has worked on it. See CU, Insight.com bowl and Nebby games: in the past, I don't think we'd have won those games.

It just keeps getting better.

2005. *Sigh*

ISU gets 27 more points and it's an 11-0 regular season.

8 points from 9-2.

I have to say, I didn't recall the Missouri game was that close to being put into the win column. I was busy with home projects during those couple of weeks, mainly just caught final scores of NU & MU games.

If Leaders hangs on in OT...
If Coleman's "fumble" is ruled a TD...
If Paris's fumble recovery for a TD stands...
If KU's "touchdown" is properly spotted...

ISU is undefeated against undefeated Texas for the Big 12 title. Even if we lose, we're probably looking at an at-large BCS bid. Un real.

I am trying remember here.... was that the year when we were beating Mizzou by 13 points with like 6 or 7 minutes to go and our D knocked Brad Smith out of the game. In comes some goofy freshman qb named Chase and he tears our D to shreds and Mizzou wins?
