Cyclones on TV!

Last night I heard something that was great news for Iowa State fans, their game against NDSU is going to be televised! To an Iowa fan, or really a fan of any school that has a real football team, this may not seem like a big deal, because every game is televised when your school is important. While the Mediacom Connections Channel may not have the prestige of ABC nationwide coverage, or even of ESPN or the Big Ten Network, it does have one thing going for it, you trick old people who wanted to watch infomercials but can't stand up to change the channel and lost the remote into watching you. Though most likely the MCC is only broadcasting it to give their camera crew practice for the Valley - Dowling game the next night, it is a nice bonus for ISU. I'm fairly certain the 9k people inattendence at the high school game the next night will be more than the number who accidentally wonder into Jack Trice, so it's nice that MCC still gives the game of the week title to Friday Night's Matchup. There is still no betting option availible for Thursday night's game, so I may not get to make any money until Iowa crushes their hopes and dreams next week.
