Believe it or not, I do not run any multi-million dollar web hosting services, as believable as that may have seemed.

Jay Leno is at Gallagher that night. Didn't want to make people choose, though it does suck that that might bee our only warm weather tailgate day.

I'd skip Leno anyway. What he did to Conan O'Brien sucks big time. What an a**hole.

So Hells Bells came on my Pandora this AM. Officially now sitting at my desk all jacked up for football season and nowhere to go.....bummer.

Heard on OPR last night that there were around 6 NFL scouts at practice the other day. Maybe that's pretty common, but I thought it was interesting to hear.

Hall is pretty legit

Re: Football 2015: Bring it on!

There was prior conversation regarding the Clemson PG, now WR regarding NFL prospects. That may be part of the equation.

Yeah, and I agree with Chitown too. Either Hall or Dorleant could be on the radar at this point.

Remember though, the Clemson guy has to pick up the game skills and schemes well enough to actually see the field and contribute. Hopefully that happens.

Pollard tweeted this Wed morning:
Jamie Pollard – @IASTATEAD

FB ticket update: Only 75 tix (all singles) left for Iowa and less than 1,500 left for UNI game. Expect both games to be sell-outs.

And tweeted this an hour ago:
Jamie Pollard – @IASTATEAD

Ticket update as of Friday morning. Only 1,000 tickets left for UNI. Help us sell-out the first two games of the season. Go Cyclones!

This makes me think that Jamie will work behind the scenes if necessary to make this a sellout, even if a donor buys up all the remaining seats.

And in his ongoing effort to stick it to Iowa, I could see him withholding one ticket from the Iowa game so that the UNI game, not the Iowa game sits on top of the Jack Trice attendance record list.

And we always have a bunch of people who watch the game on TV from our tailgate rather than go into the game. Mostly guys who are too cheap to buy tickets and want to drink my beer.

Re: Football 2015: Bring it on!

Since it looks like Jack Trice will set a new attendance record due to the expansion it appears that UNI will be involved in 3 of the top 6 attendance games at Jack Trice. Sounds like we are Iowa State's superbowl and not Iowa.

Side Note: A win would also make the top 8 attendance games at Jack Trice all losses.

Rank Attendance Date Opponent Score
1 56,800 October 13, 2012 #5 Kansas State L 21–27
1 56,800 August 31, 2013 Northern Iowa L 20–28
1 56,800 September 14, 2013 Iowa L 21–27
1 56,800 October 26, 2013 #19 Oklahoma State L 27–58
5 56,795 September 8, 2007 Northern Iowa L 13–24
6 56,585 November 3, 2012 #12 Oklahoma L 20–35
7 56,390 October 1, 2011 #17 Texas L 14–37

Pollard hates Iowa, but not enough to hold back 1 ticket so he can't claim another sold out stadium.

Yeah I don't understand how that would benefit ISU or be a slight at Iowa. Doesn't make sense on any level.

Yeah, if anything I could see Pollard asking the Fire Marshal to let him oversell capacity just to get more tickets sold. $$$

Re: Football 2015: Bring it on!

JP just tweeted that we returned tickets we are not using and that they have 600+ left.

Iowa game is sold out....apparently he forgot to hold back one ticket

Re: Football 2015: Bring it on!

Tough to sell ISU game tickets at $65 when they are on sale for $40 on craigslist list or stubhub. Especially when you can buy a season UNI FB ticket starting at $59.

what gets me is that Veridian Credit Union is/was offering a deal for $25 tickets to the UNI@ISU game.
