Austin is a ton of fun. Can only imagine what it could be like if they were good.
Oklahoma has the best game day experience and some of the best fans in my opinion.
TCU, KU & Baylor towards the bottom.
WVU, ISU, OSU, Tech & KSU somewhere in between.
Oklahoman's Berry Tramel talks Big 12 experiences ...
- Thread starter surly
- Start date

We "care" about Minneapolis because the interstate has specific destination standards and its the next town over 100k
Dude, you want to know why people give you funny looks? It’s probably the shampoo in your hair.
Berry Tramel still likes Ames, but he is not impressed with ISU's press box. I didn't realize realize they didnt have air conditioning in the press box. Lol!

"The Big 12 needs to intercede"
Holy smokes.....man means business! Calling for the conference to throw their weight around
That statement struck me really odd as well. There's a sign outside of where I live that says how far it is to Madison, WI. Believe me, it's not because anybody gives a **** how far away Madison is.
Send us some of that $300 million they spent on the corner for OU. I'm sure they'd be happy to add some AC and perhaps a few outlets.
For many years, ISU has been known, among the media, as the worse place to visit because of our press box.
Time to give the press some enjoyable conditions instead of making it a torture session.
Not saying to rebuild the press boxes, right now, but if we are going to spend 80 mill on our next facilities upgrade might as well carve out some space and upgrades so the press actually wants to come up to Ames and cover us.
It should not be that expensive to give them some AC and good food to cover a game and some comfortable space for them to do their job. Every bit helps in our media driven sport.
"Waaah, the press box isn't air-conditioned!"
"Waaah, I can't write my story in the press box after the game!"
(So when did the lack of A/C become a non-issue?)
"Waaah, the climate-controlled work area located centrally between the ISU and OU postgame press conferences doesn't have an outlet exactly where I want it to be!"
(Typical media attitude.)

If Norman is essentially part of OKC, then Ames is essentially part of Des Moines. Norman is only 10 miles closer to OKC than Ames is to Des Moines.
Norman is basically a suburb Ames is not to Dm.
I'm not one to get very worked up over someone in the media's feelings, but it does seems a little lame to not have AC in the building. Sitting in a hot stale room, I know that would be difficult to work in. No need to spend millions, but putting something in there would seem to be a good idea.
