Juzt got into town. Can see the stadium from the hotel. Parking lots look pretty sedate.
Why do we support our team in record numbers even though we suck? What, specifically, can we point to that other teams can not? We can't use the excuse of no pro teams because WV doesn't have any, either.

Yes. Getting a sandwich at the Varsity. Drinking a local brew called Alpha BlondeSame here. Residence Inn? Going to pound some whiskey and head out.

Anyone here? Disappointed with the tailgating so far. Hopefully it picks up soon!
It's cause there isn't that much to do in Iowa.

Excellent post.Unless you live in a coastal or mountain state this could potentially be said about any state. But having lived in several of each I'd take Iowa any day! It might truly be that "you don't know what you've got 'til it's gone", but I miss Iowa. And when you look at our conference mates Iowa is much better than OK, KS, WV, and especially this god-forsaken failed-nation, treeless hayfield called Texas!
Sadly, it looks like those of you who made the trip are going to get less than Morgantown's best effort when it comes to tailgating. I guess the combination of last season, this season, the students out of town, etc have put a damper on support for the team.
Several of you posted earlier that you don't know how it is that you all are able to keep filling the stadium and keep your support for the team so high given the poor seasons. I wish I knew how you do it too. I and several others posted in a thread on our boards about an ISU fan who was psyched up about making the RV trip. Several debbie downers asked what he was so excited about given the teams records. Several of us pointed out that that was what true fans do...they support the team in the good times and the bad. Seems as though we have a lot we could learn from you all about being a fan. Kudos to you all.
It's a great way to see the country and meet people from around the country. Everyone I have met so far in Morgantown has been great.Sadly, it looks like those of you who made the trip are going to get less than Morgantown's best effort when it comes to tailgating.

There is nothing I would rather do on a Saturday then spend 6 hours grilling and getting drunk before going into a stadium surrounded by 55,000 Cyclones and cheering on ISU. Winning is nice, but it is far from the only thing.
