Game Week- Iowa State

[Al_4_ISU 12496]

My B-I-L is extremely impatient. Nevermind that I am a central Texas kid who never sat in a combine until I was in my late 30s, if I don't hit the exact correct MPH and spacing from the combine, he'll rip me a new one. I wouldn't even mention watching football to him.
Hate that I'm not up there this week. I need to be home on Sunday and the 6-day window and night game screwed me. 

Sounds like a typical combine operator.

Set your speed, drive straight, don’t look back, and keep your hand off the goddamn throttle. Adjusting things is my job. I can see in the grain cart- you can’t. 

[Sgt Hulk 13842]

I love a good combine talk 

[Al_4_ISU 12496]

Yeah, I do that.

Combine drops back suddenly? Oh you’re filling the back of the cart. I’ll stay set. Oh wait, you’re suddenly slowing down, didn’t communicate and started spilling grain everywhere? Cart’s fault.

Combine drops back suddenly on the next round? Shit, he’s gotta slow down again. Throttle back. Oh, wait. You’re just filling the back of the cart? Cart’s fault.

[Guest Lobo]

So the NFL Combine really is the National Foot Loose Combine competition? 

Very well, we select with our first pick---Kevin Bacon.  Apparently Chris Penn is not available.

[Al_4_ISU 12496]

You’ll miss Midwest combine talk when the board gets flooded with people from Mississippi debating the finer points of noose tying.

Farmall 806.  Big 12 Grain Buggy (with those huge ass airplane tires).  Keeping up with 3 JD 95s in a section of milo.  Not a cab in sight.  Itchy as hell.  Had to time pickups for runs into the wind.  At night you found the combines going away from you by the orange glow of their mufflers.  It was always the buggy driver who kept speed with the combine.  Guess things have changed.

The 06 series are some of my favorite tractors of all time. We picked rock with a gas 706 as a kid.

Hey, I will. I will still be traveling to Iowa several times a year. Wish we would still be playing y'all.

There is a town about two hours away (which is nothing out here) that has a combine demolition derby each year during the county fair.

That sounds a lot more enjoyable than this football game 

[NoRagrets 1125]

So much apathy about this game that our Iowa friends have converted the football board into a farmers’ panel discussion on combine drivers just to keep up the web traffic.

[NeverMarryAStripper 21935]

As long as the sugar baby thread doesn't turn into a Farmers only thread I'm cool with it.

[Al_4_ISU 12496]

Kenny’s from Kansas, but I’m not sure anyone knows the difference.

[NoRagrets 1125]

Since we all know UT is going to lose and I have a captive Iowan audience, is Cedar Rapids your favorite movie that takes place in Iowa or is there another one I should watch instead of this game on Saturday?

Uh yeah, Kansas = BTK and basketball

Iowa = Corn and pretty damn good football

We’ve got like 3, between that Bridges of Madison County, and Field of Dreams.

I don’t really love any of them. FOD wins, I guess.

Close enough

I'm looking to learn about picking produce.  Can someone direct me to that thread?

Our guys blow in practice too, the game comes around and we blow then also. It’s some crazy insight. Haha

Been waiting for a corn thread to pop up.

Yeah the Combine Demolition Derbies in Iowa are strictly run-what-ya-brung.

You came to the right place. If you consider feed corn, seed corn, and soybeans to be produce.

I don't see you guys  losing 4 in a row.

That makes one of you. Most of us have resigned ourselves to the butt fucking that is about to take place.

I see it playing out like the West Virginia game last week 

[NeverMarryAStripper 21935]

I don't think we're going to lose 4 in a row either, but there is no way UT is going to be the beneficiary of any officiating fuckery.

And no, none of those were mine. In-laws' neighbors'.

[Knoxtnhorn 6066]

Normally, I'm falsely optimistic each week.  This week, I just keep seeing Breece Hall on one side and Brock on the other.

I think he was referring to South Austin’s thread.

Holy shit. Not something I expected from you Tex. I am going to read the Dasani label backwards now..

Well of course you don’t see it right now, because it’s only been 3 in a row. You’ll see it tomorrow though.

I will be in San Antonio at my oldest baseball tournament. Luckily I can avoid watching this disaster of a football game live.
