Merged the two identical threads.

Farmadublin.

(Only partway thru thread, perhaps someone already tried that).

 

[CycloneDaddy]

Will the Busch Light be served at room temperature?

No Busch Light but they do love them some Coors Light in a glass with ice.

I’m one of the rare birds that hates the idea of mixing Cyclones with travel. Maybe because travel is so expensive that we like to get as much in as we can, but the idea of adding the stress of an ISU sporting event to what is supposed to be a relaxing time sounds counterproductive. But I understand why people like it.

 

[ClonerJams]

Not sure I'll be able to make it, but this is going to be a very cool experience for those that can. Ireland is a bucket list place.

 

[CyDude16]

I’m in if it happens. Love Dublin.

 

[CyDude16]

Irish people learning that Iowa and Kansas are states. Then wondering where they are on a map of the United States.

Europeans are better at recognizing US states than a lot of Americans.

I was in Ireland during last year's Notre Dame/Navy game. The Fighting Irish took over Dublin. The Navy fans, not so much.

If you've ever had the opportunity/excuse to go to Ireland, this is it. Great time of year, and it is beautiful.

Didn't care about the game. I was there on business/vacation. My regret is that I waited until I was 70 years old.

Fly from Boston on Aer Lingus. No hassle. From Boston it's like taking a domestic flight. The minute you are on the plane you are in Ireland. It's the easiest international trip I've ever taken.

There are direct flights on aer lingus from MSP and ORD as well.

 

[CyDude16]

I’d go. Always wanted to see how much Guinness I can ingest in one day.

My record is nine but that was in Bruges, Belgium, in a packed Irish pub for the Womens England vs Germany euros final. The bartender from Cork let me pour one of mine even. In dublin, I polished off 6 before I couldn’t do anymore beer.

 

[CycloneBamaFan]

Dublin is Great. Cyclone fans will love it. My Navy friends went last year for the Navy vs. ND game and had a great time. lots to do and you can make a multi-day vacation out of it. Kiss the Blarney Stone!

Ireland is also mostly farmland. Plenty of Agricultural outreach opportunities for us and the purple cats if this comes to fruition.

This event would fit right in in Iowa or Kansas:

Merged the two identical threads.

One about a game in Ireland, and one about having an in-game stadium host at JTS?

 

[cycloneML]

wut. no offense to k-state but you'd think they (also who is they) would pick a larger brand than them /s

Bigger brand than ISU

 

[ZorkClone]

Did I miss something? Why did the Host thread get merged with the Ireland thread?

 

[coolerifyoudid]

One about a game in Ireland, and one about having an in-game stadium host at JTS?

It feels less like a "hey, you got chocolate in my peanut butter" merger and more like a 60 car pile up kinda merger.

I'm honestly kinda digging the calamity of it all. More random thread mergers!

 

[coolerifyoudid]

Gosh I wonder if beer will be available for purchase?

Breathalyzers at every entrance. You must blow a .08 to enter.

 

[coolerifyoudid]

Polishing my resume now.

Never heard that euphemism before.

Depends what kind of job you're applying for.

 

[RagingCloner]

Pay KST in Ireland-stupid.
Then face jet lag and **** practice week to come back and play Iowa - Bullship

Imagine posting something like this without actually understanding anything about the situation

It seems like more and more schools are doing this and ISU is the latest to join the trend. I nominate Cyclone Larry!

​

​ The Iowa State Athletics Department is seeking energetic, confident and professional individuals capable of working in a fast-paced environment to serve as the Host announcer at Cyclone football games. The In-Stadium host will be responsible for presenting in-game promotions and features, conducting interviews and adding to the overall excitement of the fan’s experience.

​

​

​

​ Responsibilities Serve as the on-camera host during Iowa State home football games. Work all scheduled home football games as well as attend pre-game rehearsals, meetings and special events. Memorize all scripts and information in order to deliver a flawless performance. Conduct live hits from various locations in and around Jack Trice Stadium. Closely monitor the game flow and on-field action at all times. Be an engaging communicator who can interact with fans of all ages and abilities. Maintain a well-groomed appearance that aligns with the ISU brand.

Just don’t make it an annoying screeching DJ like they have now at USC and other schools.

It gives me a headache just listening on the radio with that stupid guy in the background.
