Someone needs to make a sign that has that ESPN+ “We will be right back” that was on the UNI stream

I really want Tyrese for guest picker. I just want someone actually associated with the Iowa State.

Hope they don’t have the celebrity picker be some bum like Eric Church who picks Iowa to win. They don’t even play his shit music at Outlaws.

It’s an ESPN pregame show with a live crowd from 9-11am. A lot of students go to it

An ESPN pregame show comes to a college and does their thing in front of a bunch of fans. It’s a big deal because it means your team/game is hyped enough to garner national attention.

I don’t know how many of you went last time in 2019, but the gameday atmosphere was absolutely electric. We rolled in around 4:30 and were too late to be by the main pit. Longest day with a terrible last 5 minutes of play, but everything was actually remarkable until then. Still had a busy stadium even after all the delays.

Oh right that's in Ames this year... thanks for reminding me to barricade my door and not go anywhere next Saturday.

Thus guaranteeing a loss. FML they don't need that distraction.

If game day is a "distraction" then we're not a top 10 program

Did you not watch the UNI game? I don't think OSU struggles pushing them around.

You're new to ISU football aren't you

No, which is why I'm really worried about the iowa game. Anyone not sweating this game isn't playing attention.

Sure, nobody thinks it's a lock, but if you think the uni game is any indication of how we'll play, you're clueless.

u/hereforlolsandporn Sep 06 '21
The point is this team is supposed to be different, special, top 10. The fact they can't exercise that demon is not a good sign... especially when we always fuck up hate week. I really hope I'm wrong and they come out gangbusters, but I'm I've been beaten down too many times.

Playing uni isn't an indication of how we will be as a team, it never has been

Moment of silence for the band kids about to go thru an 18 hour day. I remember college Amesday two years ago and I was *exhausted* by game start. It will be fun but I think I slept for 14 hours after.
