*** Official IOWA STATE vs Memphis Liberty Bowl Game(Day) Thread ***

[BigLame]

My obligatory comment to myself every Cyclone game: "That's a bizarre timeout to call?"

 

[mynameisjonas]

Wow, after 5 minutes to go over different options they take a time out

 

[loyalsons4evertrue]

When is our philosophy on planning for games ever going to change? It's almost like the less time to prepare, the better they play.

 

[CyState85]

This shows our lack of depth as a team. No Tampa or Verdon and our secondary gets absolutely destroyed. Purchase has a long way to go to be a #1 corner.

 

[Cyhops]

Have they called a single penalty on Memphis?!

Stop now, it's embarrassing

 

[ISU1991]

Why does it matter so much? Seriously asking. It’s nothing more than an exhibition game as a reward for the players for having a good season

If they win, does that mean anything special? If they lose, does that mean they are destined to fail next year?

If the players don't hate losing more than they enjoy winning then they shouldn't play the game. If playing to win doesn't matter then we shouldn't except a bowl invitation that way they can go home for Christmas to see momma.

Is the portal still open and if it is how many of our good players will we lose after this mess?

On the bright side. What team’s gonna look at this game and say I want those players. They should take a look at the players across the field

 

[clonedude]

Not really when you are up against a terrible pass d... We shouldn't even attempt a run

Maybe not…. but it’s still the reason we lost.

Becht could have thrown for 600 yds, and we likely still lose if we can’t run.

 

[HFCS]

No way in hell should we get 0 yards rushing against a G5 team

We got like 0.7 ypc against Ohio and everyone said it was illness.

It wasn’t. It was being painfully predictable, same as today.

 

[HouClone]

Never been so down on college football as I am today.

The Ohio game was bad.

 

[Clones2023]

Look, this is why I don’t give to the WE WILL. Why do I want to see ex Iowa state players tear us up?

 

[CYedUp]

Maybe not…. but it’s still the reason we lost.

Becht could have thrown for 600 yds, and we likely still lose if we can’t run.

That sounds like more of a defense issue.

With the now P2, we are basically at the same level or even lower than teams like Memphis/Tulane/Liberty etc

 

[ISUTex]

I bet the call a penalty on Memphis after they score a touchdown on this play.

MC is good buddies with Prohm, still lets him call timeouts.

Unfortunately we can barely afford to keep the guys we've got.

Mike Leach (RIP) hard disagrees with this.

 

[JP4CY]

He's gone anyways

Who is gone?

Iowa State is destined to be a perennial bottomfeeder. To quote a great band “Same as it ever was”

You guys are so dramatic, we finished 4th in the Big 12 in a season we were projected to finish near last and then we lost a bowl game that doesn't matter.
