In all fairness I was closer to Ames

It is depressing in the winter though



No worries. I would be depressed too, if I had to leave these smelly pig farms and all of these miles and miles of mud to spend Christmas with the in-laws.

Plus all the crops are in so you are looking at muddy fields for miles and miles. At least the pig farms still smell.



Good stuff.... :lol:
Seems like small potatoes compared to what Iowa's Matt Roth 'said' before the game the last time these teams met.
apparently none of you got tickets to the game.

BOOM!!!
OK....

LSU is a top 5 football program. I stand corrected.

Dude, why would anyone want to live there? Sounds dreadful.


That would be a long-winded answer...

Bottom line (without going into economics and demographics and such )....

Why would I not live here?

So they get excited about getting to play a top 5 program?! I'm not surprised...



A top 5 program? Really?

It was below zero in Iowa today.



Correction: It was 18 be-frikkin-low.

Disrespectfully cold.

They wanted to leave two days ago.....but it was so frikkin cold, the plane wouldn't start.
While I am spoiled (and freely admit it), my reasons for not going to this game are personal (long-standing plans for NYE and NYD). However, this is not just the result of the Tigers' success and the spoiling of the fanbase, it is also the result of the routine abuse LSU fans (especially season ticket holders [I've had mine since 94]).

The fact that season tickets and "Tradition Fund" requirements have priced out many of the old school, "hardcore" fans is well established. What has made this worse is that the few decent OOC games on LSU's schedule ARE NOT BEING PLAYED IN TIGER STADIUM!!! So, you have ever increasing ticket prices, along with a "bowl-type" game at the beginning of the season resulting in empty wallets by the end of the season and no one is going to try to cobble up that kind of $$$ to go to the Outback Bowl. It's just not going to happen.

Keep trying
Need to go to a 16 game playoff system where the games are played at the universities. Less regular season games to make room for the extra playoff games. Does LSU really need to play Furman?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Yeah......we could be playing in Iowa City today.

The temperature was -17 when I woke up this morning. Lets make it happen.
All I see is excuses for a LSU fan-base that does not travel well to support their team.

Prove me wrong.
Yeah, no shite.

But LSU #1 in the nation on 3rd down conversions on offense.

The teams stack up pretty well.

#7 in the nation in total defense.

There are some very interesting comparisons between the two teams statistically.

There's the game.

Nice to be back. Talk to you ladies in a few weeks.

And please....try to keep it a closer game this time.
I like the sound of an IOWA vs. LSU matchup.
