Texas thoughts on Iowa State

from a Longhorn site.
Well folks-- here it is. The last regular season game played against one of our old Big 12 foes that used to be part of the Big 8, before we merged the Southwest Conference and subsequently lost old Big 8 members to the SEC, Big10 and PAC10 errr 12, and then added teams from the old Big East and ACC and WAC and Conference USA, and even one that we lost FROM the OLD Big 8 into the new Big 12, then to the Pac12 which will be returning TO the Big12 next year.
Whatever.....
See, Colorado WAS part of the Big 8 and then the Big 12 and then they left for the PAC10, which became the PAC 12 and now...... oh fvck it. You get what happened.

It's like musical fvcking chairs around here.

But today, we play an OLD Big8 team and current Big12 for the last time. Next week is Tech which was an OLD Southwest Conference rival but before they joined the Southwest Conference they were a member of the Border Conference (better known as the Border Intercollegiate Athletic Conference) from 1932-1959.
But that's for next week.

Iowa state was part of the Missouri Valley Intercollegiate Athletic Association going back to 1908. Only, they weren't called Iowa st. They were called the Iowa Agricultural College and they joined the MVIAA alongside the University of Iowa who ALSO maintained their concurrent membership in the WESTERN Conference which is now called the Big10.

You guys are staying with me, right?

In 1911, Drake University joined their Conference and 8 years later Nebraksa left the conference to play independent, but rejoined 2 years later. In 1919, Oklahoma applied to the Conference but were not admitted due to "deficient management of their athletic department".
In 1928, the Missouri Valley Intercollegiate Athletic Association took 6 members and formed the Big6.
19 years later in 1947 they added Colorado and formed the Big 7 Conference.
Then in 1957, after Oklahoma A&M dropped the A&M, and traded it out for "state" they were allowed to join the Big 7 Conference thus making it the Big 8 conference.

Now that you're all caught up...... Iowa state grads are very famous...... very famous indeed. Ya... the most famous Iowa state grads invented a couple of things. True story---
One invented Maytag Blue Cheese. No sh!t. Now you may be asking yourself, "Clob, I thought Maytag made washers and dryers for clothes. Not blue cheese." And I'll have you know, Clob thought the exact same thing.....

Moving on.

Iowa st grads also invented the Round Hay Baler. Square bails just weren't good enough for these uppity Iowa farmers so they had to make them round.

Aaaaaaaaand that's it folks. Boring fvcking Iowa state and their boring fvcking history. Aside from the Conference membership labyrinth of associations.

Soooooooo beat Iowa.
State.... or whatever.

Houston vs OSU

I think this is our last real chance for Oklahoma State or Oklahoma to lose, as they both have pretty easy games next week.

Houston is up 14-3, and it looks clear to me that's something is wrong with the Ok State. I don't know if it's locker room or coach or whatever, but after they lost 45-3 last week and are now getting down quick to Houston, something is amiss in Stillwater.

Go Houston!

FOOTBALL ***Iowa State vs. Texas game prediction thread (please read contest rules!)***

It's Texas week, so let's get rolling with those predictions for the game against the Longhorns.

1) Winner & margin of victory. (ex: Iowa State by six)
2) Total points scored. (ex: 52 points)
3) TIEBREAKER: How many passing yards will Iowa State finish with?

Iowa State is currently a 7.5-point underdog and the over/under is 48 points.

Number one will be the first determiner and then I'll take whoever gets closest to the total points. If needed, I'll go to the passing yards prediction to break a tie.

Contest winners will be rewarded as follows: first place (three free months added to your subscription); second place (two free months); third place (one free month).

This had been predicted by many (not specifically A & M) and I would not be surprised if the Aggie boosters give him the world to come!! He’s from Texas and has pretty solid credibility in that state!!
