Lets get the bad out of the way: were the second most popular team in Iowa, despite being the largest university, and being the university who's mission is most aligned with what drives our state. This has created the typical Ag school inferiority complex amongst a large percentage of our fanbase. We frequently jab at Iowa fans for not going to Iowa and shit like that. But we're nowhere near Aggy in terms of being obsessed with the other school. We also don't jerk off into Mason jars, beat women, create non-sense language, or fuck sheep. We also have a total conspiracy theory/martyr mind set. Our history is littered with "shoulda woulda coulda" moments that featured controversial officiating. We nearly lost our existence as an athletic department during the 2010-11 conference realignment because of a bunch of cunt schools. Iowans in general have a mindset that the rest of the country doesn't appreciate us, and all of that bleeds into our fans' savagely booing the officials, regardless of whether the call wasn't correct. The worst things I've publicly uttered were directed at refs during Iowa State games. Ive noticed a lot of other fanbases, particularly KU basketball fans, hating this about us. The Manhattan Project happened at Iowa State as well, so I think that explains a lot of the shit luck. The good: We're one of the top Ag schools in the country. Our most similar fanbases/schools are KSU and OK State, but we bury both of them academically. We were the first school created by the Morril Act. The university predates Ames, and at the time it was built, it wasn't literally two buildings in the middle of nowhere out on the prairie. George Washington Carver did most of his peanut research in Ames. The guy who designed Central Park designed our campus, and it's frequently regarded as one of the most beautiful in the country. Ames is a typical Midwestern college town. It's pastoral, clean, and well maintained. It frequently makes "best places to live" lists, but is also frequently knocked as boring despite having some great bars, restaurants, and cultural venues. ISU is distinctly Iowan. 70% of students are Iowa natives, and frequently small town kids. More of our alumni stay in state after graduation than any other school. Our mission is making Iowa a better place, and we take it seriously. Its this sense of pride that drives our notorious loyalty. That and our Rodney Dangerfield complex. We pack Jack Trice and Hilton because we love ISU, and we really believe we can impact the outcome. That and the party is a good time. Our tailgate scene is fucking wild. It is a celebration of everything ISU. We like to drink. A lot. It's ingrained in the culture of the upper Midwest. Most Iowans claim German, Czech, or Irish backgrounds, which means booze has been bred into us for years. We've been known to drink bars in Kansas City (and Memphis this year) dry. It also makes us a friendly lot. Because we feel that outsiders have either a negative opinion of Iowa, or don't even realize we exist, we go all out to make a good impression. If you've been to a game in Ames, you know what I mean. We aren't much for silly traditions, because we've had pragmatism beaten into us for a century, but the one tradition that we really take pride in is the legacy of Jack Trice. If you don't know the story, he was our first black athlete, and he played at a time when that wasn't socially accepted. He was stomped during a fumble pile up while playing Minnesota in 1923. Presumably due to the color of his skin. He died of those injuries a few days later. Jack was a hell of an athlete, a great student, and the definition of a self made man. He was a true bad ass motherfucker. To this day, the stadium is the only one in FBS football named after a black man. Loyalty, a little inferiority complex, and a lot of booze. Every yard for ISU.11 points

I can’t even come to this thread in-game anymore. Just a bunch of pissing and moaning with little-to-no real baseball talk. So many posters here don’t understand that baseball is not a game of perfect. If we don’t get a hit in every RBI situation, make the perfect pitch, win every game then we suck. In reality, we are one of, if not the best, teams in baseball. Expectations are totally unrealistic. I choose enjoy this once in a lifetime team and not always be miserable.7 points

My dad was on Royal’s first Championship team in 1963. Never played an O/D snap until around 3:00 left in the game versus Navy. Although he did play special teams for years, it was those final minutes that he “lettered” at UT as a football player. Years of practice and no “playing time” earned his respect among fellow players. His first year on campus had him working the dinning hall as a partial scholarship. The kicker was, that it was the athletes’ dinning hall, so after practice and showering, he had to assist those who he had just practiced against and with. I’m proud of him just as if he’d been an All-American, but he was on the team and got a “T” ring upon graduation from Coach Royal and UT’s first football National Championship. When they had their 40th Anniversary weekend, prior to the Arkansas game, he was one of three asked to speak at the banquet with the team and Coach Royal. He came from a small school in Hardin County and could’ve gone to Rice on a full scholarship, but another fellow Hardin Co. guy, Tony Crosby (kicker from Kountze) helped talk him out of it - so I was told. When they had the 50th celebration a couple years ago, I got to see him on the “jumbo tron” scoreboard - his first and most likely last! As always - “Hook’em”!!!!!

A day where no one commits to another school is yet another great victory for Texas A&M and clear evidence that Jimbo and crew are doing very well. Stay tuned for another great day tomorrow where players not committing elsewhere are surely thinking hard about the dear old Fightin' Texas Aggies from Texas A&M, the state's premier SEC team.4 points

I thought the same. The question always arises on how much the draft effects a player's performance and mental concentration. Van Horn noted in a pregame interview that Singer did not appear to have his normal command and sharp breaking ball against Tech. Checking Florida's stats, Singer threw 108 innings prior to last night. About average for a Friday night guy (Kingham/100, Knight/Ark/106) Forgot to mention in earlier post, Tech had a great season considering they lost their ace Gingery to tj surgery before the season. Very few teams could overcome that loss and advance to the final 6 of the CWS.4 points

I’ve voted Dem in local and judicial elections my entire life. Beyond that, I used to vote Republican then went libertarian until I realized it’s a utopian ideal. I now vote Dem across the board for the social issues and hope one day to see a party that is both economically pragmatic (focused on limited and lean but properly focused government) and attuned to the plight of the poor, downtrodden and forsaken. That may also be a utopian ideal but it’s where I am right now. So I won’t sit out, I’ll fight with time, money and my voice for those democrats that stand for equality and against this Republican insanity.4 points

The mixed messaging, confusion of identity and general incongruity in communication is a disaster. This daft cunt is trying to make the point that the detention centers for kids are a relief from the notoriously treacherous journey through Mexico that these kids make from south to north. Fine. Kinda gross to try to whitewash the separation of toddlers and parents, but whatever. Maybe she's right. But just moments after this deranged twat said that, Trump is castigating Mexico by saying they perpetuate these immigrants by making their journey through Mexico "like a stroll through Central Park." They scatter everything around, backtrack and then struggle to define who they are and what they want to convey right in front of national television. Steve Doocy shifting in his seat while Geraldo Rivera battles the concept of personal accountability was good, old fashioned slapstick. Collective messaging of ideology is hard to pull off but these simpletons haven't even made it to the starting line. Once "brown people are bad" couldn't survive the imagery of these children being incarcerated on U.S. soil, they all fell apart. Frantically. The moment two strains of thought collided with the simplicity of one step, they began trying to sort out who and what they want to be on live television. They're juggling chainsaws. They'll do it again in two weeks with another issue.3 points

This is word salad. Thanks I guess. I’ve been sincere on this forum. I’ve believed everything I’ve written. I’ve admitted when I’ve had a couple things wrong. It happens. Although you wouldn’t know it from this forum. I started posting here because I thought the 180 from the old CR was fascinating. I’ve been around in various names since old HF days. I thought it was interesting to provide a good counter point where I could. It does feel like it’s gotten wayyy more toxic than it was in past. That’s due to a lot of factors, but there’s a lot of distrust. Nobody believes anything anymore, and for good reason sometimes. When people look back I think they’ll see Ed Snowden and Wikileaks as two of the biggest things that pulled the veil back. But they told the truth, so I think it needed to happen. We’ll see how it all shakes out. That kind of came outta nowhere but this tweet had me thinking. Irresponsible is a great word for how the media on both sides manipulates people. It’s a sad situation. I don’t see how you ever get that trust back. With that, I’m gonna sign off and watch Dateline with the wife for the rest of the night. Y’all have a nice weekend. ✌🏻2 points
