It is characteristic of the unlearned that they are forever proposing something which is old, and because it has recently come to their own attention, supposing it to be new.

Hey, let's all hope they take us lightly. Good !!! In fact, a couple of weeks before the game, someone should spread a rumor on their board that half of the o line is suspended for that game for some fictitious reason. Wouldn't that be a hoot !!!!!

Reminds of Iowa State a couple of years ago. We were tailgating amongst a throng of Cyclone fans and while talking with a couple of them, noticed how unconfident they were in general as a fanbase.
So one guy says he doesn't feel good at all about the game today and "you guys (NDSU) are going to beat us." Trying to be good guests and talk these young fellas down from the ledge, I say " No, no now. I think it's going to be a good game. We lost 25 seniors from last year, you know." One guy gets a hopeful look on his face as says, "You lost 25 starters from last year? Maybe we WILL win today then!"
Well, first of all, I don't know HOW you actually lose 25 starters (maybe include special teams?) and certainly alcohol was a factor in everyone's thought processes, but I then had to open my big mouth and reverse all my good psychological repair by saying, "Well no. We lost 25 SENIORS, they weren't ALL starters. I think we've got about 14 starters back."
The guy's face fell in an instant. "You've got 14 starters back this year?!! .........................Oh, sh&t!! We're screwed!"
.............and of course, these Cyclone fans ended up being right!

You have won more national championships in football than Iowa State has gone to bowls! We find ways to lose at football.
Yet still have great tailgating.
For the record, I wasn't the Cyclone fan in the story. I predicted an Iowa State win all the way and my memory was erased of anything after we got the 14-0 lead.

That was a hell of a buzz kill, but thankfully things improved! BTW, I bet a lot of Clone fans probably don't understand the NFL talent who beat them that day; no reason to hang your head on that game in retrospect. (Crockett, Wentz, and Emmanuel were all huge that game.)
