Although the fread was deleted, it at least got me to the site. then posts like this can make me nip at the bait: I know guys it's early so I'll prolly get roasted but I have a few isu friends and they are predicting a cyclone win. I was told that they have a qb this year that is the best they have had on campus in decades. They have lots of talent this year they say. What is yur guy's predictions
hawkeyenation.com/forum/index.php?threads/isu-prediction.75365/And then once they have my attention, they hit you with a post like this to get you to swallow the hook: Just wondering if anyone else thinks we can make it into the playoffs this year? I'd say we have a really good shot barring no injuries

Math Time!!! So to have the exact trip, if you took a good 20 minutes out of your day and booked it this very Friday morning, here's what you're looking at. Three nights at the Le Parker Meridian in MidtownRound trip flights from Des Moines to NewarkGame tickets on the upper sidelines to Rutgers IowaMe and Duff are going to the game, as well as a bromantic weekend away from the kids, so I decided to book the park view room for $566, because we love them views. I used a rate calculator to calculate all of the NYC taxes associated with that room, so the three night stay will be $1958.96. We decided to take the American Airlines flight, bince it's the most direct. Plus, we are each checking a bag for our...marital aids, and paid for priority boarding so we can spoon before a fat guy sits next to us, so that's $768.40 for the tickets, plus $68 in fees, for $836.40 The tickets are for the section right next to the HN group, and in the same row. That way, we know we're near Hok fans, but won't have to start up chit chat with them. Assuming a stupid Stub Hub fee of 17%, that's $77.22 for our tickets. So, we add up the lodging, flight, and tickets, and the total is...$2872.58. If Duff and I were to book a HN trip in a double room, so we could fool around and not have roommates like we're fucking 19 year olds, that would be $3798. Of course, I didn't list everything that HN offers. We still have the ground transportation to & from the airport and game, pregame tailgate party, and most important, commemorative shirt. Can we do that with our remaining $925.42? I checked Dial 7 car service, and we can get a town car pick up and return to the airport for $115 each way. I'll add an extra $50 to that for tolls and tip, bince we didn't get a roomy car to not fool around in the back seat, which will make the driver uncomfortable. That's $330. To get to the game, we just take the Subway to Penn Station, and then take the train to New Brunswick, which is the station that is right on the Rutgers campus. We can take free university buses that go to the station right to the stadium. That's $62 for two unlimited 7 day MTA passes (bince Duff and I will be going around town when we're not at the game), $32 for round trip tickets to Jersey. That totals $94. Total transport costs will be $424 That leaves us with $501.42 to spend on tailgating and t-shirts. Let's assume $30 shirts for each of us, that gives us $441 to spend on BLL. Assuming we're getting ripped off, and paying $17 for a twelver of tall boys, we can buy 26 with our remaining money, or 312 bottles of sweet, delicious Bud Lite Lime. This took me less than an hour to look all of this shit up and do everything short of entering my CC number. It is my last day of werk before vacation and I am well past trying or giving a shit about being productive. This is what I'm passionate about. Miller=Ghostrekt Better hurry!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh............... I wonder how many people have actually signed up. 12? 26?

Read this article and then realize it spawned a twitter 'discussion' Jon had with Jay Bilas today. Someone is just a little thin-skinned. Go to twitter and see the fun if you have the time. hawkeyenation.com/football/miller-college-athletes-already-fairly-compensatedNone of that is to say that the HN brand is the best, or that there are not other examples of successful brands; there are a number of highly successful brands that you visit each day pursuant to Iowa athletics and HN is one of them and the most intimate example of branding I can share with you.

I'ma be out of pocket between $500-$600 for my upcoming trip to IC. That cripplingly huge total spend includes round-trip airfare, 3 nights' lodging at marriott and IHG properties, rental vehicle (midsize SUV), fucking illannoy tolls, food, liquor, and a game ticket in section 125. Add $75 if I decide to pay vodak_samm for some anal hijinx. I'm not sure how I'll afford it; I might have to take out a loan. Listen cheapo. You better be well into 4 figures by the time I hit the grounds. I want a first class tail gate. I'm not coming for your looks and crooked Hilary stories.

Historically, I drop about $125 at binny's in the Grove. A handle of Tito's, a couple bottles of white dog, a case of lite, some micros, and possibly a bottle of whiskey but only if it is gonna be cold. Can I count on you to bring an unquenchable thirst and half a bottle of months-old fireball? I won't be drinking that day

I used to agree with his point of view, but the money in these "amateur" sports has gotten so out of control in the past 10 years, none of these arguments hold water. No one is arguing that athletes are well compensated, the fucking point is they aren't fairly compensated. Iowa made $105 fucking million dollars of athletic revenue last year. Giving a $40,000 scholarship to the people who make that money is not "fair".

And, what I find funny is that he doesn't think Bilas (a college player who made his name based on many things including the Duke name even before it became the brand it is) understands what college players get from the fame of playing the sport. Last night, Miller invited Bilas to his podcast to discuss this. I don't listen to any of Miller's podcasts, but I may have to listen if this ever happens (in a can't turn away from a car wreck kind of way).
