    I swore I saw it earlier today, and now I can't find any confirmation. He looks close to the end in this latest season of Curb. Thanks for the laughs!

    Blue bloods (IMO): Bama, Georgia, Texas, Oklahoma, Notre Dame, Ohio State, Michigan, USC, Florida, Florida State, LSU Almost Blue bloods: Penn State, Clemson, Tennessee, Auburn Blue blood level following (not results): Aggy, Nebraska

    So don't go to the games. We'll probably average 99% capacity again.
  4. Al_4_ISU
    Yeah, probably. So? There have only been 3 blue blood programs that have ever played in Ames, and one of them (Nebraska) no longer qualifies.

    This is the same point I've been trying to make. It's not that ISU fans don't care about beating Texas - we absolutely do/did. But "rivalry" means something that absolutely does not apply to what the ISU/Texas match up was, and ISU fans weren't dumb enough to try and convince anyone that it did. The players circling that game doesn't change any of that.

    This whole thing made me think how I can't remember the last time I ate Wendy's, and then I thought about how I can hardly remember the last time I ate fast food at all. At this point, it's only when I'm travelling.

    We're possibly arguing semantics. ISU fans strongly dislike Texas, and any blue blood on the schedule raises the stakes of the game beyond a standard opponent. It is a big deal when Texas comes to town. I've never heard anyone call Texas a rival. Did you catch the part about "ever"? For most of my life ISU played every team on that list every year.
  8. Al_4_ISU
    He's not a liar. I'm sure the team circled that game and cared more about beating the big bad blue blood than they did about beating similar programs. That doesn't mean the fans consider it a rivalry. Texas is a team people hate. Iowa's a rival. There's a difference. And hell yes we care. It was the last time Texas, a major program, was coming to town. That doesn't mean we think it's a rivalry. ISU averaged 99% capacity this season, and we only played one rival in Ames. For as much as you like to do the Dom Draper "I don't think about you at all" routine RE the I8, you make a lot of posts in this thread. Your continued attempts to shame me for participating in this thread are just laughable in their hypocrisy.

    Again, I've spent my entire life immersed in Iowa State fanhood, and these are the following schools I've heard anyone call a rival: Iowa Kansas State Kansas Missouri Nebraska That's it. Maybe there's a group of ISU fans who consider Texas a rival out there, but I've never met a single one of them nor come across one on Twitter or any ISU message board.

    Jarrod Hufford is not the average Cyclone fan. The players often feel differently about opponents than fans do.
  11. Al_4_ISU
    Hating someone doesn't mean you think they're a rival. I hate schools ISU has never even played. If you asked 100 ISU fans if they hated Texas, 90 of them would say yes. If you asked a 100 ISU fans if Texas was a rival, 90 of them would say no. I can't imagine KSU is any different.

    73 on Monday afternoon. 4 this morning. Actual temps.

    Did the Clemson coach mention our best post player was injured in those non-con tournaments? Imagine anyone at ESPN making this point about SEC football playing 8 games and having FCS games in November.

    They're people who's Constitutional education skipped the First Amendment and never got past the Second.

    I'm a farmer that has benefitted from subsidies. I cash the check because I have to, but I will bluntly tell anyone who asks that I don't think we should be getting them and they are absolutely no different than welfare. It's the government choosing to give money to a certain group of people because they think there will be some larger benefit from doing so. If I have to do anything at the FSA office I say I'm "going to the Welfare Shop". I love the reactions I get from that.

    And they have a shit load of fans to drive up ratings. Plus, they're just a blast to hate on. If Aggy wanted to rejoin the Big 12 I'd love it. They'd be convinced they'd go undefeated every year and then punk UT in the playoffs, and they'd end up going 8-4 every fucking year just like they do now because it's what they do.

    The lack of self awareness in all of this is what gets me (including on the part of the guy who negged me). I always joke that the State of Iowa has an ag exemption for murder (I'm sure Kansas is the same).
  18. Al_4_ISU
    It would be kind of hilarious for the Big 10 to announce another alliance with a conference and then undercut them. And if anyone (who actually brings value) would leave the SEC for the Big 10 it's Aggy. Mizzou would too, but that isn't happening. Of course now that the SEC has Texas they might not even care if Aggy did leave.

    Obligatory "it's Swaim".

    I'm absolutely a lyrics guy, but there's got to be a good melody or riff. Great songwriting is when a strong melody meets meaningful words, and it can be stripped down to one person on an acoustic guitar and still make you feel.

    I was at a wedding that used "One" by U2 as a song during the service. That was cringeworthy.

    Only does what anybody would

    I've literally jumped because I thought the fuel pump TV was a person yelling at me.

    WVU choked away a shot to win in regulation. KSU will pull this off now

    When it’s 70 degrees in north Iowa in February you have deck beers
