I thought at first your comment was racist.... then I thought about the fact that they are from the frozen tundra. Probably haven't been in a bathing suit or even shorts since July.

Nah, when it hits 35 we put on shorts and sandals--true story--I taught at a small college up here for a number of years and it was notable that kids would literally walk around in shorts during a Feb thaw in the mid-thirties.

Good link from cyclonefanatic on the clycone's take on Memphis and the LB:

Link? Thought nothing started till 3.

They had there own Pep Rally. Not advertised by Liberty Bowl. I imagine will be a nightmare trying to find somewhere to park for the parade. Not to mention most Memphis fans are at work. Gonna be an Iowa State Parade

No it won't. Please stop.

You wanna bet? I’d argue there will be maybe a couple thousand Memphis fans down there. Probably at least 5-10 Iowa State

The Iowa St fans I saw on their last LB apperence were very nice and friendly. I hope they have fun except for about three and half hours on Saturday.

I very much enjoyed the Iowa State crowd in 2012.

This isn't about how great they are. I hope they're miserable this weekend.

I hope they have the time of their lives, right up until the last 2 minutes of the game when we drive down the field and score to take the lead and win the ballgame in the final seconds.

RE: Tons of Iowans Downtown!!
Both my parents were born in Iowa and most of my relatives still reside in the Des Moines area. I went there as a kid all the time - my fave was the famous "peach" sports section of the Des Moines newspaper. Other than that, the trips were boring and I couldn't wait to get back to Memphis. If it weren't for my Dad going to UT Med school in Memphis way back when, I would have been a lifelong Iowan. This game tomorrow means a lot to me.

My Dad narrowed his choice between Natchez, MS and Memphis upon completing his residency at Tulane. He wisely selected Memphis.

"Last but not least, here's a fun fact: approx 70% of all buildings in Memphis are either Baptist Churches or Walgreens. Not exaggerating. Look around".

Lol...best quote from the ISU fans.

That's ... I guess humor?

Pretty boring, even by Iowan standards.

I thought I was far enough east in Germantown to get away from them but Red and Gold attired aliens have taken over my hotel tonite.

The wife was wanting Rendezvous but going downtown into that mob would be sheer insanity.

Rendezvous doesn't serve lunch.

The cars in the parking lot with Iowa tags look like they’ve been sprayed with pure de-icer and road water.
