An Iowa State fan emailed me yesterday to let me know what he liked about Stillwater. Hope you guys enjoy.
1. Our fans just get each other. Chatted with several Pokes about it and I think it’s the “being overshadowed by the other state school” dynamic as well as toiling in terribleness for so long, but both our fan bases are just good, down to earth people that will probably always be friendly, especially to each other.
2. Got in late, so I missed the tailgating scene. Had a lot of OSU fans tell me it was worse than usual because of the 11 AM kickoff, which was mutually agreed on as being terrible and only fit for the Big 10. I plan on being back in 2014 to check it all out.
3. The Limeys: I Googled what was in them today and my drunkenness on Saturday makes a lot more sense. I am going to figure out how to make them to greet you guys with when you visit next year.
4. If you combined the ingredients of Fuzzy’s Tacos with the flour taco shell of a Tasty Taco (try it next time you’re in Des Moines), it would be the greatest food item. Ever.
5. Could not get a table at Eskimo Joe’s, so no cheese fries. Instead, I grabbed a beer and bought an orange and black tshirt to pay tribute to my second favorite Big 12 team (KSU might be close, but I just can’t rock purple) and the beat down you guys laid on us.
6. Are you guys Southern? Midwestern? I can’t figure it out. Half the people I talked to sounded like us “Yankees” (one guy legitimately called me that repeatedly), while the other half had the Southern accent going.
7. I tried, but could not find T. Boone to get a picture with him. Boone Pickens Stadium is super nice though.
8. Stillwater is just a cool town. A lot like Ames, but more conducive to post game drinking with your bars seemingly closer to your BPS than ours are to Jack Trice.
9. Talked to a couple of guys that read Pistols Firing and spoke glowingly of it. You’re like Cowboy royalty, Mr. Porter.
10. Seriously, can we borrow a QB?
You guys should all be following my buddy, Mr. Lite on Twitter. Good dude, good blog, and great school.
Tell the truth Pistolsguy, you posted that just so everyone would see #9, didn’t you? LOL. Seriously though, Congrats on becoming Cowboy Royalty!!
How does Mrs Pistols feel about being the queen? Wait, she probably already is. Do we have to address you now as “Your Majesty Pistols Guy?”
the irony in #10….
We’ll still take Walsh. One working knee or two.
Even our medical team at QB is substantially better than what they were throwing out on the field this week.
Doesn’t anyone know about or use ‘Joes To Go’ on Gameday? I’ve gotten an Elm St Fowl Thing in under 15 minutes doing this.
Sorry, we’re fresh out of QB’s. Unless you want our boy Clint?
Don’t tease me. We’ll take anybody right now.
Before the Walsh injury I would have considered trading a OSU QB for an ISU LB.
To the Iowa State fan who wrote this post–my wife works at the Copper Penny, and says that the Limey is made thusly:
32 oz cup, filled with ice.
Fill halfway with vodka
2-4 oz of triplesec lime
Fill to top with Sprite
For a cherry limey, just add a copious amount of grenadine on top.
Awesome. So it’s basically a (super burnt) vodka sprite with whatever “triplesec lime” is. I’ll assume 2 parts sweetened lime juice with 1 part triplesec?
I think it’s 1 to 1 on the triplesec and the lime juice. Sorry for the unclearness. Also, make sure the vodka comes in a plastic bottle; it wouldn’t be classy enough otherwise.
Wouldn’t dream of it any other way. McCormicks it is!
I made these for a bunch of people on Saturday, including myself. Everybody loved them.
what happened to lavocheya cooper and isaac maslera? both removed from official roster today. saw post re gundy’s casual comment “not on team”. any idea why?
Gundy’s zero tolerance policy meant that Masalera was done after he copped guilty to drug paraphernalia possession. But I’m not sure what Cooper’s “personal reasons” are.
Shows how great the people are that attend “Ag” schools!
Have always enjoyed my trips to Ames, one of my favorite places to go to games. Like Stillwater, all the people are great and friendly. But no you can’t have one of our QB’s injured or otherwise.
