I would've expected it to be more full, but if it's loud, that works for me. Student section looks amazing.

 

[TheC]

Cool entrance!

 

[kaTNap]

Yes, the PA announcer really did make a library reference!

 

[WestCoastWildcat]

Cool opening! But why have Penn State come on the field after NU?

Like we are wearing the class purple & white unis. Beautiful stadium. Beat PSU!
Go Cats!

Yeah... a little surprised people aren't in their seats to see that opening.

 

[Catslash]

totally underwhelming

Hope that “the library” doesn’t catch on as a nickname for NRF. Have to say though our students still look pretty nerdy.

 

[TheC]

Good drive, but too bad they couldn't finish with 7. Lots of injured guys is going to make this tough.

 

[BosCat]

Kleathel weapon!

 

[AdamOnFirst]

Did the band play after the FG?

I don't know, I sort of like it.

 

[GECat2]

Where did we find that kicker?

 

[AdamOnFirst]

The TV mix makes me suspect jts extremely loud because there is basically no field noise picking up over the crowd noise and RG3 is yelling

 

[TheC]

Nice job getting off the field D!

 

[AtlantaCat]

When is the last time we had a 50-yard FG?

 

[GECat2]

I’m just heard that Rocco Brecht has played more college football games than Tim Tebow. Where is Rocco’s Heisman Trophy??

 

[HawkCat]

When is the last time we had a 50-yard FG?

And he really drilled it down the middle. Wow, is that nice for a change.

 

[AdamOnFirst]

More ****** injuries, how much more of this we gotta take?

 

[TheC]

Sooooo many injuries

 

[HawkCat]

Rahouski down. Crap.

 

[AdamOnFirst]

And he really drilled it down the middle. Wow, is that nice for a change.

Nice thing about kickers is you don’t have to extrapolate performance from lower levels. He has he same accuracy history as Olsen but a much bigger leg

 

[Fanaticat98]

Ugh, is this season going to be lost to injury? How can we go into the stretch of our conference schedule like this.

 

[NUcats92]

Death taxes & NU injuries continue……

 

[GECat2]

Nice play by Chiles

 

[eddie_gocats]

Pulled his pants down… 47 yard gain!

 

[TheC]

Loving 85 yard TD drives!!

 

[HawkCat]

The difference with Chip at OC is remarkable.

 

[BosCat]

Loving 85 yard TD drives!!

And scoring TD when inside the 10!

 

[AdamOnFirst]

Run defense looks great so far!

 

[GECat2]

Bragging that you are the winningest coach at Iowa State is like bragging you are the tallest dwarf!

 

[AdamOnFirst]

We’re just running like base left base right for 15 yards per play my lord

 

[CappyNU]

Hard to complain about that quarter.

 

[AdamOnFirst]

Hard to complain about that quarter.

Yeah but did hdhunter’s soft pretzel cool down on the way back to his seat?

 

[AdamOnFirst]

What a horrible call!

 

[AdamOnFirst]

Jon Jon Stevens is seen. We see him.

 

[AdamOnFirst]

Jon Jon Stevens is very seen

 

[bringbacktherantboard]

I HATE, HATE, HATE those PI calls on underthrown balls. That's the rule, so I'm not faulting the refs, but I hate that the rules reward a bad throw like that. The NCAA needs to think about how to adjust for that.

 

[TheC]

D looking fast tonight
