We just can’t have nice things!

Can we hire the TTech interim coach as OC? He seems to be able to have his team prepared to play.

 

[isuno1fan]

Oh wow, you can see my posts! You never seem to respond when I quote you. Conference position and a bowl game. These things still matter.

Awesome! I'm so fired up. Thanks for getting my head straight.

As others have said - he does not like to get hit. Or maybe he's told to avoid contact at all costs?

If he just slides down on his butt he doesn't take a hit.

 

[cyballrulz93]

that is just a ridiculous statement. The culture that Campbell has created (and what everyone celebrates after big wins) is why these guys stayed. Nobody on that team is cashing it in.

some fans may need to though…

Sure...and by staying they have more than given enough to the culture of the program. They don't owe us fans one bit more. They have paid their debt...it's time for them to get paid. Would YOU risk an NFL contract for one more shot at Cyclone glory playing in the Guaranteed Rate Bowl??

New line coach? How about a new QB or WR coach? Our OLine has stood up. Brock holding on to the ball for far too long is a different story....

manning drawing up plays for 7 step drops (shotgun but you get my drift) when your line is only good enough for 3 step drop plays and you only have one wide receiver

pat this point it’s a business decision and a smart one in his case. I’m not mad about that at all.

you know what, I’m not mad…I was mad after Iowa, but they are what they are now, Iowa state deserved to lose this.,,they were outplayed and severely outcoached all day

you just can’t keep doing the same thing over and over and then be mad about it

they really struggle to start games, and they take way too much time getting things fixed, that’s just what they do, nobody is going to be suprised by a new wrinkle

we play extraordinarily conservative especially offensively, and we rely on the defense to do everything and win on the last drive every game

if you play close games against everyone, even inferior teams like tech and wv, and you don’t respect them, they can bite you

and that’s what is happening.

Something that should be looked at a bit more honestly is that while Tech and WV are not good, their talent level is closer to ISU than seems to be projected, if not better in areas (WR) vs. ISU's weakness (DBs).

I still don’t think I’ve ever seen a college kicker hit anything over 60. NFL record for years was 65 wasn’t it?

The game winner today was 62 yards. Nope, not a record setter.

• The longest field goal in college football history is 69 yards. And it was set in 1976! By Ove Claes Johansson of Abilene Christian.
• Abilene Christian was not NCAA at that time.
• The NCAA record is 67 yards held by 3 kickers, Russell Erxleben of Texas, Steve Little of Arkansas, and Joe Williams of Wichita State University
• The longest field goal in NFL history is Justin Tucker’s 66-yard game-winner for Baltimore this year
• For reference, the record kick set on opening day at Jack Trice back in the 70's was 62 yards by Dave Lawson of Air Force (odd that the one today tied that)

Business decision? Is he saving his body for a office job or something?

 

[clonedude]

Has CMC had his presser yet?

Did he say again that it’s nearly impossible to win games at lowly Iowa State unless you play perfect football…. and we didn’t play perfect football today?

I absolutely hate it when he says that crap.

So basically Iowa. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

That FG today would have been good from over 75

 

[BoxsterCy]

And now they can realize that the culture that was created is guiding us to a failing 7-5 season, and they may dial it in now.

You are pretty insufferable every week in every game thread but at least most weeks you go away after the end of the game.

omfg it’s the @isufbcurt dumb train here we go. Gonna get mad and dumb you when you suggest a player should look out for his future instead of give up his body playing for free.

 

[awd4cy]

Lmao, you really can’t see why a player would not want to play in the Liberty bowl and focus on the NFL?

 

[quasistellar]

Yes. Holding a clipboard in the NFL is a ******* sweet gig.

I'm asking what future though. Our fans always seem to think we have all these NFL players but yet that never actually happens.
