Who will be the guest picker?
- Thread starter MuskieCy
- Start date
I don't think there's a set time when they announce. Sometimes, they don't even announce prior to the show.
This is going to be like the Bolton waiver timeline, I am sure.
I've gotta 'bump' the whole computer related idea. Atanasoff's invention, without a doubt, is the most notable invention ever produced. And it was done so by Iowa State University. Leave the audience never forgetting Iowa State's impact on every single person on the planet. With a little creativity this could really be cool. Bill Gates, Larry Ellis, Robert Swan, 'thanking' Iowa State for example.
Aw hell... bring both Dan McCarney and Hayden Fry and let them arm wrestle for the pick...
Mac might have a bit of an age advantage, but still...

OK, going outside the box here (again)...
Ames Lab was instrumental in developing the process to obtain pure uranium for use in the atomic bomb. Who better than...
RADIOACTIVE MAN!
Or maybe Fallout Boy

How about Nerlens Noel for the reverse Nerlens Noel-- did you know he played in high school with Georges Niang, and Georges is an all-time great Cyclone.

wow that would be the best idea since the lee corso becomes the mayor of ames idea
I like out of the box. Once at one of Johnny Carson's shows, I coaxed my buddies to follow my lead. Soon the entire audience was caught up in something really weird, thus making it one of Johnny's all time favorite shows. Bottom line: out-of-the-box = memorable. I think pretty much anyone who had fun in college (or post) most remembers one of those out-of-character drunken stupors (always safe, but stupid). Sadly, I had a few too many. But they're sure allot of fun to reminisce about.
Just trying to take this thread to another fun level.

There IS an Ames strain of anthrax that's shown up in un-friendly places...
To be clear, my suggestions about actors (Ashton Kutcher, Tom Arnold, etc) were not because they once went to school at the U of Iowa, but because they are famous faces that most football fans of all ages could recognize. Should probably add Ron Livingston to the group. Though all of these (Kutcher, Arnold, Livingston, Elijah Wood) spent at least part of their lives in eastern Iowa and since I too have spent all of my young life in Eastern Iowa and still became a Cyclone fan, I really don't divide the state like others do. Arnold and Kutcher would do it for the money or notoriety. Not sure what Livingston or Wood's motivation might be.
Maybe should also add Lolo Jones to the list.

"We introduce today as our guest picker the star of such hit movies as National Lampoons Golf Punks, Good ****, Jewtopia and Jungle Shuffle, Tom Arnold!"
I have no idea who Tom Arnold is, and I’m in college
Okay, who is going to the Ames airport on Saturday morning and see who gets off the ESPN jet so we get a little advance notice?
He's a coke addict from Ottumwa who was married to Roseanne at some point in the '90s. He's also a revered member of the Hawkeye community.
