Gene Chizik

Gene Chizik was named the new head coach of Iowa State University last week...the university of which I am an alumnus. This is a very exciting time for ISU football. All indications point to the fact Chizik was one of the top people out there to run a football program. The Cy in me hopes to Jesus this is true.


Oh, we will fight, fight, fight for Iowa State And may her colors ever fly.
Oh, we will fight with might for Iowa State With the will to do or die!
Rah, Rah, Rah!
Loyal sons forever true And we will fight that battle through.
And when we hit the line we'll hit it hard, every yard for I-S-U!

best film of the year...."the departed"

What we get from DiCaprio and Damon is nothing short of extraordinary; both turn in the sharpest, most complex performances of their careers. This is no small feat, especially for DiCaprio, who in the past few years has grown into one of this generation’s top talents under the direction of Scorsese and Spielberg. Damon, meanwhile, delivers a flawless performance on par with his brilliant work in “The Talented Mr. Ripley.” Both bring exactly the sort of compelling, intricate, carefully constructed character work to a film that requires nothing less than brilliance.This is a brilliant story retold with the flourish of a master.
