Week Five Preview

Here we go...Week five is here already which means there is another week of non conference and conference games. ISU heads to Kansas City to take on Kansas State at Arrowhead Stadium. UNI will host Indiana State for Family Weekend, and Iowa will host Arkansas State.

The first pick will be incredibly easy. Iowa is simply going to roll over Arkansas State, so hawk fans if you don't even want to go into the stadium and you just want to start your pregame drinking for the Michigan game next week feel free. That's about all I have on that topic.

Indiana State will bring a decent team to the UNI Dome. This game may start close and it may just be a blow out from the begining. It's hard to tell but either way UNI will win.

Now for the game that I am very excited for. Iowa State and Kansas State decided to play their games the next two years at Arrowhead Stadium, ISU is the "hosting" team this year. I have never been to a NFL stadium so this will be really cool being able to go behind the scenes and march on the field. The weekend will be very busy as well. The ISUCF'V'MB will be leaving Ames at noon on Friday. We will then practice at a high school in Kansas City before heading out on the town Friday night. Saturday morning we will get up and head to the stadium sometime around 10:00 I think. After pregame gigs and doing the game we will then head to a high school marching band competition to do an exhibition performance. That performance won't be until after 9:00 Saturday night so we are not supposed to get back to Ames until 3:00AM Sunday. Getting back to the game. This could be a very interesting game. I really hope our team plays well because if they get some more confidence and get a W out of this game we could run the table next week at Kansas. A couple notes on ISU this week,we are a little beat up. One of our star defensive linemen tore his acl last saturday and is out for the season, also one of our star wide recievers broke his fibula in practice on Tuesday and will undergo surgery for that on Friday. Even with those two key players out I still think this game is winnable for the Cyclones, I am going to predict a 31-21 Cyclones Win. We will see how this goes though.

Did I mention that I have a busy weekend. After we get back at three on sunday morning I have to be up and on my way to work by noon. After working the soccer game I am taking my girlfriend out to eat and to WICKED in Des Moines. So basically with the exception of sleeping I will be going from Friday at around 8:00AM until around 1:00AM Sunday. It will all be worth it though and it's shaping up to be a great weekend. I will hopefully update with the review of the weekend by Tuesday night. Have a great weekend! GO STATE!!! GOD BLESS!!!
