Another I-State Congrats!

[Yellow Snow]

Hey guys – me again…

This board has been a great read the last few days

You’re fan base basically went through the same “transformation” I went through when Iowa State hired DMac. We fired Jim Walden after 12 years of COMPLETE AND TOTAL futility and I was hoping for a “spash” hire… I was like “Dan who???” when they announced McCarney. But then I watched his introductory press conference… Wow… I had the same reaction y’all (is that proper use of y’all?) are having now. He’s impressive, eh? The best part is the fact that it’s not coach-speak from him. The man will to follow through and do what he say’s he’ll do. Trust me… good times are ahead for you folks.

I am so extremely happy for everybody at UNT right now! I never in my wildest dreams thought I was as sentimental about DMac as I am, but this whole thing brought out the fond memories of him at I-State

Believe me, I’m a MEAN GREEN fan now! It’s good to have a Texas team I can actually root for (can’t stand UT, A&M or Tech for obvious reasons). TCU and SMU… meh… don’t care...

UNT on the other hand… I’m going to be sporting the MEAN GREEN gear up here in northern Iowa! Speaking of that… where is a good place you can get UNT hats, etc. online?

Good luck fellas… go out and kick some ass now! I’m going to probably be bothering you on this message board from now on… lol… sorry in advance.

You got it right. It's y'(ou)all meaning all of you. Also, don't be too hard on him for the use of 'eh'. Plumm uses that as well and he used to think that Houston was in North Texas.

That made me smile... I never even thought twice about typing that, eh? lol

It's one thing to say it, yet another to actually type it in a message.

I must be too close to Canada.

The Yahoo Team Shop has picked up a ton of gear. I have sent that link out to everyone in my building that is Alum (that I know of)

I am wondering if I should wait till Nike finalizes everything and spits out their product line.

Yahoo Team Shop (Football Fanatics) quality isn't very good.

An excellent point. I do worry a little though. Will we start to see eagle wings on the sleeves? Painted forests on the turf?

Hey Yellow Snow or any other ISU fans, how did Mac do in regards to filling yalls stadium's seat, or was that never an issue for yall? Also is all the snow in Iowa yellow?

[cyrocksmypants]

Iowa State is an annomaly in terms of ticket sales. If I'm not mistaken, we broke records under Mac, but there were games where we just didn't show up, most in my memory was Missouri in 2004. Last game of the season and a win won the North for us, yet it seemed like there weren't even 30,000 people there (a roughly 50,000 seat stadium). Didn't help that it was about a million below zero outside (anyone who has spent a winter in Iowa can attest that temp probably isn't too far off from what it actually was).

That being said, the man can energize the fan base, and with a new stadium and an enrgetic coach that will spend time in the community, I wouldn't be shocked in the least to see records shattered for you guys in attendence.
