You young guys speaking of beer stamina. Us 1970’s alums go long and hard all day and night!

...the "East" HyVee area is known as Lincoln Center...there used to be a high school football field there (Ames High) till the early 60's...

I agree, Chris. Radial tires are what ruined NASCAR. It turned drivers into jockeys.

Something tells me that Williams believes all of the Bloomquist alien stories.

Anyone else worried we won’t run this enough when we need to? I feel like we try a little too hard at times right now stay in our 3 man front and teams expand us and run down our throats or just throat 7-8 yard under routes all day. Would love to see us come out in a 4 man front against Iowa this year and more run and gun styles of offense like Utah

The middle linebacker is who they are going to bring down as the fourth lineman.

I think Williams needs to stick to more of the game plan here and talk sports instead of personal experiences, loosing perspective. Sounds like bar talk.
