Just a report.

Iowa State - Tennessee Tech
58 - 6 :D

YEAH 'CANES!!!!! 41-16 Miami baby! :cool:

I'm having doubts! Bama really cleaned Oklahoma's clock in the second half today.

I wouldn't say the OU win was a fluke -- big teams make big plays -- but they sure didn't look like a national champion team. You can't win many games with negative rushing yardage.

Another report

Iowa State - Iowa

36-31

GO CLONES! Beat the Hawks (again) (and again) :D

:cool: :D ;)

*One PISSED OFF UM Alumna*

Navarre kinda blew when I was at UM. I would think he would have gotten better after almost 2 years. GUESS NOT! :(

oh well I have been a ND fan since I was 10. So part of me is happy, like 30%. I am all about the Lou Holtz/ Rick Meyer/ Jerome Bettis years ;)

Re: bump up for the week!
 

I know the pain.

Last year, kickoff against BYU was set for 11:30 to accomodate ESPN. Gates opened at 7:30 for the tailgaters. We got to the stadium to get in line at 5 just so we could get our usual spot. I really don't suggest drinking at the butt crack of dawn. AGDLynn knows what I'm talking about.

Penn State (PA) beat Nebraska 40-7! But, their kick-off time was at 7 PM. I went to State College today, and it was a madhouse!! One rule I learned: Never go to State College on PSU home game days!!!

Tailgating/Noon Games
 

Going to Michigan, you get very use to having Noon/1pm games. We may get two 3pm games and the only time we get a night game is when we play Northwestern at their stadium. For some reason the Big House does not have night lights for a game (but instead of spending them on that, they decided to go out and put an UGLY-FUGLY a$$ halo around the stadium that cost way to much, which they took down after 3 weeks cuz everyone hated it)
But for Big games like ND, OSU and MSU tailgating especially for alumni starts at seriously 5am in the morning (Pioneer HS parking lot along with the UM golf course). Students tend to start at like 8/9am. Everyone gets to the stadium early cuz driving and walking to it takes forever, especially when ESPN's Game Day comes.

Does anyone else sell parking spots on their front lawns? A lot of students did this for ppl cuz parking on Game Saturdays suck and use the money for kegs???
It's so bad that you can actually get a ticket for parking in certain areas of A2 (Ann Arbor) on game day.

Re: Tailgating/Noon Games
 

Nebraska is NOT a driving campus. You can drive around the perimeter but not actually through campus (which I like...means I don't have to walk more than 10 minutes to any of my classes). However this of course means that there is no parking. We have the pledge class sell spots in our back parking lot, and they get to keep the money for whatever they need to spend it on (froshes, sneaks, gifts to the house). Normally about 20 brothers get to park back there, but on game day I know we managed to fit 31 cars back there. We usually charged 10 bucks a car and 15 for something like a suburban. Charged more for Notre Dame last year and earned $395 in three hours (that is a lot of kegs...hmm:cool:)

Iowa Hawkeyes: #16 in the nation, and w/out a horrific collapse in the 2nd half of one game would undoubtably be higher . . . for IowaHawkeye and Valkyrie:

In heaven there is no beer, that's why we drink it here - and when we're gone from here, all our friends will be drinking all the beer . . .

Thanks Rob, you bring up a good point - in heaven there is no beer, the traditional Iowa student section song... such a beautiful thing...

The Hawks are doing great this year - were 6-1 with 5 games left in the season. According to the AP - we're #15 - GO HAWKS! Watch out Indiana, Michigan, Wisconsin, Northwestern and Minnesota (we're bringing Floyd home!) - it's on.

The word is Fight, Fight,
Fight for IOWA,
Let every loyal Iowan sing;
The word is Fight, Fight,
Fight for IOWA,
Until the walls and,
rafters ring,
(Go Hawks!),
Come on and cheer,
cheer, cheer
for IOWA
Come on and cheer until you hear
the final gun.
The word is Fight, Fight, Fight for IOWA
Until the game is won.
