Bump

Interlude Playlist

Hudson Interlude

I thought the Hudson one was pretty neat.

I can not wait for football season to see how awesome it looks in a sold out Dome!

Are we going to Interlude in the UNI section at Jack Trice this year?

I wouldn't count on it...
Besides, where's the music going to come from?

I agree, and I don't know if Cyclone fans will be able to handle such a awesome event, there haven't been many in Jack Trice.

I absolutely BLEED Purple and Gold, but this is Rhodes' best team so far in Ames and we weren't even competitive last year. Just sayin'

I would say deepest team with the potential to be the best. (Defense will be the best we've had, though) However, we still haven't found our starting QB. (and that probably won't be known until a week or 2 before we play UNI).

The band can play it, and has done so in the past.

Yeah, that's the line he keeps feeding people...

And the score last year did not tell the story of how competitive that game was last year. The game blew open because of horrible decisions by our QB's (two interceptions thrown right to ISU defenders for TDs). Our defense played very well, and we did very well on the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball.

Just clean up some of that stuff on offense, and show just a little bit of poise and execution unlike last year, and we will be fine in this game. I expect a very competitive game.

It just wouldn't be the same having the marching band play a song meant to be blasted over a nice sound system. But, thats just my opinion.

I don't think Rhoads needs to feed anybody, anything. Based on who we have coming back and who we lost, it will be our deepest and could be our best team. Like I said earlier, the question mark is still the QB. We have 4 fighting for the spot, and it will continue right up until our first game.

And unless Rennie has vastly improved his throwing, then I would expect pretty much the same outcome as last year. Maybe even by a wider margin, if our offense can get going.

Re: UNI dance craze?

Rennie has to improve his throwing ability, yes I totally agree. A lot of UNI's season will hinge on his ability to do so.

I think that ISU will have major issues on offense this year. Who will be the QB, and is that person worth a crap anyway? And who is going to be a playmaker on that offense? How are they going to score?

IMO, you also have to figure that, being the first game this year, it will probably be some pretty nice weather. Unlike last year, where it was a sloppy rain fest, which really hurt us in that game. We were kind of a finesse team last season that relied on speed, and was built to play in the dome.

Like I said, probably won't know the QB until the week we play UNI. However, I can say if it's Tiller, our offense might struggle, unless he VASTLY improved his throwing in the off season. Our offense really needs a "pass first" type of guy for it to click, not "run first" like Tiller.
The playmakers will probably be Shontrelle Johnson (RB who got quite a few reps last year) or one of these 3 WR's, Darius Reynolds, Darius Darks, or Aaron Horne

I also feel that being this is the first game of the season for both teams, it favors ISU.

Re: UNI dance craze?

I was there last year too. Whether it would have been 13-0 or the 27-0 it ended up being, we were not competitive. Our offensive line got owned and once their backers realized they didn't have to respect the pass at all, they absolutely controlled the run.

I will be there, looking forward to a great tailgate, but not expecting us to get the W. Farley doesn't dare put much into this game, because the SFA game the following week is the game that sets the tone for the year.

And your weather comment is laughable. It could just as easily rain on 9/3 as it did on 9/25. Plus, its a game on grass either way, which hasn't been our strong suit lately...

There's something we can all agree on. Last year's sucked due to all of the rain and closed lots. It's tough to beat a warm fall Saturday, tailgating all day, followed by some college football! (not to mention, the opening weekend for college football!)

And of course, the sound system will be too busy playing "Sweet Caroline" when the Clones come out after the half.
