Are you, Gray, Blum, CW, etc. able to hand out bans, or is that reserved to just the "real" mods?

Get me in the right mood and I’ll rock out to some Chocolate Starfish and the Hot Dog flavored Water. That was a good album, man.

3 Dollar Bill Ya'll will always be my #1 (unfortunately).

Don't think I don't watch some of their live stuff occasionally.

My wife's friend is getting married on the Iowa State vs Iowa game day. I was put in charge of RSVPing I responded no and said who in their right mind puts their wedding on cyhawk gameday in the comment. I told my wife and she was pissed, she said thats not something you put in an RSVP. I disagreed. The question I pose to you Fitz is who's right?

Why are suspensions for ncaa football teams so prevalent for the 1st game of season? Is it just a matter of a months worth of camp and all the player transgressions are being dealt with all at once?

Nebraska announced their starting quarterback yesterday and their only other scholarship QB quit school today and will transfer.

Question: What are these coaches going to do with our five QBs this year to keep them all contented enough to want to stay at ISU? Or do you believe the coaches feel, hey if you want to leave and can't handle the competition, good luck to you elsewhere!

What do you expect the run/pass balance to look like in week 1?

And punt returns, who is gonna do it, and will there be returns?

What do you expect the offense to do in place of the Lan-ram package that worked so well in picking up short gains for first downs? Getting those first downs was critical to the teams success last year. Are the going to do more direct snaps to DM, or try and use Re-al as an option QB in these situations?
Do you have any statistics for that package? I remember it getting stuffed more often than not.

Are people sleeping on Sheldon Croney? He played some crucially good football at times for us last year and I hear more about Mike Warren & Kene Nwangu than I do about Croney. What is his role going to look like this year?

I really want to know this as well. Re-al offers an explosive dynamic but what happens if we desperately need 1 yard. The direct snap to DM seems like a good option to me.

I think the direct snap to DM really could work well, but I think you also have to give him the option of throwing a pass if the other team sends everyone. As a matter of fact, they need to show that early in the season, to keep teams at least thinking about it.

Why do people get married on the Iowa ISU game day? I had a wedding during the 2016 game, and that worked out, but come on!

If I have to attend a wedding that is the same day as this game I reserve the right to follow the game instead of paying attention to the ceremony, etc.

If I have to attend a wedding that is the same days as this game, I reserve the right to skip the wedding and go to the game.

My wife and I are invited to 4 weddings on 4 different home games. My wife declined them all!
