Re: Can the Panthers take down ISU on Sep 3rd?

Personally I think Jack Trice is pretty nice and certainly adequate for a program like Iowa State.http://image.cdnl3.xosnetwork.com/pi...0825140141.jpg

pretty sweet if you ask me.



I absolutely love the UNI dome but it's not like it's the nicest place around.

Exactly. ISU is traditionally a lower half football program, therefore money and success is lower. For what ISU brings to the table, regardless of conference, Jack Trice is a nice place and is currently the right size. It would be like UNI moving to Jack Trice or ISU moving to Kinnick. There would be quite a few open seats because the following isn't there. Hopefully, ISU can get better and bring more fans in forcing an expansion of the stadium.

Re: Can the Panthers take down ISU on Sep 3rd?

You do realize you have f-ing hills in your stadium right? JTS is really livin in the 21st century . There is nothing impressive about that place, considering it's been in the Big 8/12 for years with all of these other great programs. Btw, I didn't hear anyone deny that the scoreboard has people more excited than the actual team

Mizzou has hillside seating as well. So?
and this:

I'm fairly confident that you are more excited about your non-stop, lame message board trash talk than you are about our team.

I agree. Jack Trice is far from a top level stadium, but it fits Iowa State really well. When the south endzone gets bowled in, it will really be a nice stadium.

Jack Trice feels like a large high school stadium to me, but its a definitely a decent place.

Don't be trashing the Trice, it's a nice place to take in a game.

Re: Can the Panthers take down ISU on Sep 3rd?

Those hills just annoy the heck out of me though, its something I can never get over when I go to JTS. It's helps cement what 9yr about it being a "high school" venue (although not to that extreme), it just doesn't seem like Big XII football. I'll give JTS credit that as long as you aren't on a hill, there really isn't a bad seat in the house.

BUT, the buzz I get from my friends in Ames is still about that damn scoreboard. Not the team that was one silly mistake away from beating Texas and Nebraska in the same season, for the first time in...maybe ever. Nothing about Steele Jantz and AJ Klein or even about Grant Mahoney sinking away into irrelevancy (not that he was the greatest kicker of all-time).

WHATSUPA WITH THAT?!?!?!



Jason Sudeikis...anyone??

Flavor of the day/week/month. It all just depends, I guess.

I see absolutely nothing wrong with JTS - its easy to get around, good sight lines and is well maintained. Its not Cowboy Stadium, but its nice enough.

Re: Can the Panthers take down ISU on Sep 3rd?

No TV but the game will be streamed in HD. Worth the $8.95/month for me. Funny it's cheaper than UNI's package and in HD.

wait a second, maybe im an idiot and missed it, but there is no tv for this game?

See, we are playing BIG TIME football now! It may not be on TV like 95% of the rest of BcS games, but at least they're streaming in HD.

Re: Can the Panthers take down ISU on Sep 3rd?

Here's the simple truth about the game and the player/talent level.

UNI has a bunch of players who believe they should be playing for Iowa State or at least a similar BcS program. Iowa State has a bunch of players who believe they should be playing for a Texas or Nebraska or similar program.

UNI's players have as much of a chance at winning at Iowa State based on talent as Iowa State's have of winning at Texas or Nebraska.

I'm sorry, but the ISU game will not as close as the Hawk game two years ago.

Re: Can the Panthers take down ISU on Sep 3rd?

One week away. I have my tickets WITHOUT having to wait at will call. Looking forward to tailgating at ISU-great fans, and like us, they have the little brother syndrome going for them. As long as our teams are in the same state as the hawks, it will ever be thus...

The biggest reason ISU expects a win is because they are in a BCS conference vs. an FCS conference. Talent on the field gives UNI the edge, this year. Next year, well, that would be a different story.

Point is, I fully expect UNI to come out with a victory. Don't diminish ISU, they are building. If we win, we win over an up and comer. This year could see the Panthers in Frisco.

This 'aint' the prediction thread, but I never stand on ceremony. I'll go UNI 24- ISU-14. I also picked Dowling over Valley, and if it weren't for that fumble...

Go Panthers!

Oh boo hoo, they were outcoached. Plain and simple

Granted. Valley eventually played to their talent, Dowling erred on the side of doing too much with a young team. Still, if they put the ball in the endzone on that drive, they probably win.

As per usual, see you in the playoffs!

Re: Can the Panthers take down ISU on Sep 3rd?

Panther statesman; nice name loser. If you are agreeing that UNI is an fcs school with fcs talent and ISU is a BCS school with BCS talent then from what delusional reefer are you smoking that would make you think that talent is the deciding factor. ISU may not be florida State when it comes to recruiting but lets be honest you essentially get your big brothers (ISU and IOWA's) sloppy and i mean SLOPPY! seconds. if you are good at all this year it really has to do with good coaching not talent. Peace.
