I thought it was Neil Diamonds song.

Yes, but its' known affiliation with ISU doesn't help the copycat accusation if it becomes a regular in the Dome.

People enjoy singing along with it and have fun. I don't have a problem with it.

Personally, I do not care for the song for the reason that it takes so long to get where most people like to sing.

I would rather that we have our own identity. What have we done in the past that people like? Maybe the students can come up with something that will keep them coming to the game.

Interlude Dance ?

I agree. When they took the fan "vote" on the video screen to play it during the game late in the season, by the time it got to where the fans sing, they had to shut off the music because the offense was already lined up ready to play. The timing of whomever selects the music at the dome has to get better.

Would like to see something new and fresh. Quite frankly, the game entertainment is boring. It is outdated. Main reason for lack of student enthusiasm.

I know it's still pretty early but has anyone heard of any transfers out, coaches moving on etc?

[clenz]

Nothing on the coach front - most appear to still be tweeting about UNI next year for the grain of salt it's worth.

I haven't done a ton of comping of the roster but I have noticed that the 6'8 350lb OL we signed last year, Jake Crozier, is not listed on the roster at all for 2017 but I know for a fact he was at one point. I'll do some other looking

[clenz]

Went and did a quick archive search of the roster. The archived roster I have is from Sept 14th.

The differences for non-seniors

Jake Crozier - removed completely
Marcel Minniefield changed number from 97 to 96
Jesse Cardneas was added as a linebacker and Taylor Otterstatter as a TE but not assigned a numbers...which is strange because they are both listed as RS in 15 and missing last year with injury and was listed as #51 and 89 respectively both years. I'm guessing the injury ended up ending their career and they went from being on the team to "off" the team to on the team but not a numbered player. Tyrell Lyons had his career ended with an injury and was listed unnumbered.

As far as I can tell those are the only differences for players. The only other change was Jamie Farley being listed as the DoPs.

[BCPanther]

I know Otterstatter had a career ending knee. ACL, MCL, LCL, Patella Tendon. That is gruesome.

I saw Crozier at a few basketball games, IDK the situation.

As far as players coming in, keep an eye on Iowa. There are rumors of a few guys who were “name” players in high school who are looking to leave. Some may not be a good fit for us due to geography (like Weigers), but there may be a couple who are intriguing.

[havok58]

If Jake Crozier's twitter feed is right, it looks like he's with Graceland University now.

We will be playing at Indiana State on a Thursday night 9/27
