UNI vs. ISU football tickets

[DomeRanger Posse]

For those of you tailgating the UNI/IoSU game, the lots open 6 hours before the game starts. Also, make sure that you look at Iowa State's website, as parking has changed this year. Most of the general public parking is along S. 16th Street and in the Vet Med Parking lot. It's now $15 to park in these lots as well. Looks like they took the open field by the softball fields and gave it to the National Cyclone Club. In other words, if you ain't a season ticket holder forking over a first-born son, you've got a walk ahead of you. The link to the map is:

The head coach at my high school (I'm an assistant) was telling me that he read in the Omaha World Herrold that ISU is picked to get 12th in the Big XVII this year. It would be our year to "upset" them. I mean holy crap, I know they are bad, but I didn't know they are that bad.

Although, would it really be considered an upset?

shhhhhhhhhh...last time we were "favored" at Iowa State they promptly put a whoppin' on us. Let's keep the underdog mentality and "upset" them...it is nearly ALWAYS an upset when a FCS team defeats a BCS team...

[General_Panther]

Good point. I would hate to be the reason we lose at ISU. I kinda figured it was an upset no matter who you play in the FBS (or whatever the hell it's called) because the FCS teams are supposed to be worse. Well I would just love it if we beat the Clowns at their place, and I was there to see it.

GO CATS!!!

I don't think it would be an upset for UNI to beat the 12th place team in the B12, however I don't think ISU will be the 12th place team. They are largely an unknown at this point, but I'd be surprised if they finished lower than 4th in the B12 North and there is probably a team or two worse in the B12 South. I'd put them at 8-9 overall in the B12, with a lot of potential for upside.

And I still expect the Cats to get them.

I think that ISU is a great unknown. We have no idea what level all the JUCO players that Chizik brought in are at. We have no idea what offense they are going to run, probably a 'basketball on grass-type' but we don't know for sure. We assume they will play some variation of the 'Tampa 2 Defense', but again we don't really know.

I am really glad that we are playing them week 2 instead of week 1 for all of these reasons. If they are playing 'basketball on grass' offense, Minnesota State is the perfect team to play the week before. What worries me is that if we see that type of offense for two weeks, it might be hard to adjust to SDSU's more physical style...

The big difference this year and throughout the upcoming ones will be how seriously Coach Chizik takes this game. Coach Mac saw Jim Walden lose his job after a few defeats to UNI and made sure to never, ever lose to UNI no matter what. Mac always knew and expressed to his players what this game means to UNI and that is a big reason that ISU always beat the Panthers during the DMac era. Hopefully, this will be different this year. I have a really good feeling about this game.

I just have a great feeling about this team in general.... This is a special special group
