Who will be the guest picker?

[Gunnerclone]

Only one person said it but I think it's a viable option. That would be Kurt Warner. Success story that has ties to the state of Iowa. Not a Cyclone, but not a Hawkeye either. It's going to have to be a big name.

Lol.

 

[Knownothing]

How about Bo Williams?

 

[CtownCyclone]

For those of you pining for a certain former basketball coach, it won't be him.

 

[Dandy]

Corey Taylor? I assume he's a Hawkeye fan if he watches sports.

 

[BCClone]

I’d be fine with Mac, but how is his health these days? I remember he was very close to going blind (he wears sunglasses at all times now) and didn’t he have a stroke recently?

Is that recent on the glasses? He didnt have any on when i saw him outside the Alamo Bowl.

Samantha Ponder always loved visiting ISU, works for ESPN, and was once interviewed by a certain @ChrisMWilliams.

I remember Chris saying she either blocked or unfollowed him on twitter after he criticized her husband’s stellar QB play for the Vikings.

No. Here's an article from 2011 detailing it.

No, he was doing that at his stints at USF, UF and North Texas. Maybe he got some sort of surgery to correct it.

Great. We're going to end up with Tom Arnold or Ashton Kutcher because CW can't play nice.

She probably doesn't have much of a twitter feed anymore.

You have to look at him through the lens of the rivalry:
*Born in Iowa City
*Played at Iowa (before the renewal)
*Assistant coach at Iowa (13 years, incl. 2 as GA)
*Head coach at Iowa State (12 years)
*25 total Cy-Hawk games -- 9-4 at Iowa, 6-6 at ISU

I don't think this is accurate. Unless you mean when we didn't play, not the first set of times we played.

 

[NorthCyd]

But again NOBODY outside of ISU fans will have a clue. With a Gameday audience of ten million (guess) why would they pick someone nobody recognizes but for the 75th biggest TV market in the upper midwest?

More like 2 million...

Rumor is the that Cyclone Jerry will be announced as the guest picker.

He played at Iowa from 1972-1974. Rivalry renewed in 1977.

 

[stateofmind]

First and foremost, this is the country's introduction to our great university and our team.
The rivalry story will get plenty of air time, but it's secondary in significance of GameDay being at Iowa State.

I'm not sure if you are arguing or agreeing with me.

 

[JM4CY]

Great. We're going to end up with Tom Arnold or Ashton Kutcher because CW can't play nice.

I honestly can't stand either of those two. They are annoying as hell and not entertaining. The fact that they're hawk homers is beyond ironic.

 

[BCClone]

He played at Iowa from 1972-1974. Rivalry renewed in 1977.

I was thinking at first he meant that he played during the first go around. That ended before WWII.

 

[tigershoops31]

If we can't get John Wayne or Herbert Hoover for celebrities maybe Shawn Johnson is available?

 

[NorthCyd]

What if it's both Danny Mac and Raisin Face. I would hate that, but I could see it happening.

He brought the rivalry back. They could do a short story about breaking the streak before they introduced him. Either way, I don't think it's nearly the big deal that many are making out to be. I doubt ESPN puts a ton of thought into this. I also don't see Kutcher coming to Ames.

Anyone else see the humor in Iowa fans talking down to ISU fans about not having a celebrity when their second choice is Tom freakin' Arnold?
