A reminder regarding tiebreaker points: If your team wins and covers you gain an extra bonus point. If you take a undefeated team who is the underdog you gain the point for them covering plus another bonus point. As the season goes on the number of teams undefeated being a underdog greatly diminish so take advantage while you can.

Taking a double digit underdog who wins gets you 3 bonus points

3 teams plays 2 FBS in this time period Fresno St. Hawaii and and Sam Houston State. If you take them before their first game they will need to win twice for you to advance.


I will be using ESPN's Lines. Line will be the line at kickoff for tiebreaker points.


Bringing back the reward for top finisher other than bragging rights. Since this is a contest on Cyclone Fanatic I like the idea of the reward going back to helping ISU athletics.
For the top 3 CYCLONE Fan finishers (Hawks fans are as always are welcome to play but this is a contest on a Cyclone fan board) I will donate $75, $50 and $25 to @brentblum and We Will on your behalf.

Chris Williams & Brent Blum discuss the big stories surrounding Iowa State football following Saturday’s loss to Arizona State. Should Iowa State consider a quarterback change? How bad can this get? Breaking down the current setup in the Big 12 and more, presented by Mechdyne.

Do you all get the Sunday Scaries, i.e. the dread and worry that Sunday afternoon/evening brings, knowing a full week of work is ahead?

I have a mostly stressless job, but evenso, every Sunday I mourn the impending loss of freedom that Monday brings.

If this is you, what are your coping mechanisms, or how do you reframe things in your mind to help?

I don’t see Utah losing again, and I don’t think they’re going to make the conference championship game either. The ACC looks like hot garbage.

We’ll see what the CFP rankings look like, I suppose.

It's triggering my Norton.

Somebody tell me how to get rid of it or my days here are numbered.

Early tipoff for annual "kids game" so posting now since I am 100% sure to forget Monday morning.

No game preview yet that I could find. Game will be on ESPN+

LIVE STATS

This is not likely to be a very competative game. Tommies are incrementally improving after moving up to Div I but are at best a middling Summit League team. We bet them in St. Paul two years ago by 41 and won by 33 in Ames last season. I am interested mostly only because Tommies are local to metro.

Not much on Tommies site either, just this brief snippet:

After the last month of football I am fired up for some hoops tomorrow.
Florida vs Arizona definitely the premier game.

Hopefully things turnaround but not expecting them too.

DraftKings & FanDuel currently has TCU as a 5.5 point favorite.

6 Day out Weather Forecast: Sunny & 83 Degrees with a 5-10 mph wind.

And one day there will be another great football season. Until then, we are what we are. Let MC figure it out. Peace Out Cyclones.

For the last two homes games we have not scored a TD in the second half. This means no Juicy Wiggle. If we flop in the second half against Kansas, will this fade from existence?

Well, this team has found its mojo in the later half of the season. Won tonight at Troy to set up a winner take all next Saturday against Southern Miss in Jonesboro for the SBC West title.

Here's a quick look at the three teams the Sisters play in the upcoming week.

Iowa State loses their fourth game in a row in a 24-19 loss at home to Arizona State. Jake Brend reports from Jack Trice Stadium on how another Saturday of poor execution fails the Cyclones.

Taking all the hits he has this season and still playing. Hopefully he can avoid another concussion.

Iowa State loses their fourth game in a row in a 24-19 loss to Arizona State. Watch everything head coach Matt Campbell, quarterback Rocco Becht, linebacker Kooper Ebel and running back Carson Hansen said during postgame.

That’s approximately the number of yards ASU’s backup had against us. That is inexcusable. Slow Lb’s not filling holes properly, taking on blockers in the middle of their body, poor angles, and not gap sound. Safeties- holy si7t, since when is diving at someone’s knees tackling? 13 is awful.

Coaches need to sit Rocco for his long term benefit. He has been bad, worst qb in the conference the last four games. He is inaccurate, making poor reads, and giving unthinkable interceptions. I can’t remember EVER seeing an interception like he threw last week and then he throws another one on the sideline to Hansen that was three yards behind Hansen. You have three downs (essentially) to get 10 yds and when your qb is bad like Rocco is you eliminate at least one play on each drive. The offense looks like have no faith in him right mow

Receivers continue to drop the ball. It looks like it doesn’t bother them, no accountability, no change in their play. Rocco need a huge help and they aren’t giving it to him.

I don’t know what is going on inside the team, but this is NOT the team we saw play with passion and intensity the first couple games.

I love ISU too much and this is painful. I had zero thoughts that they would score on the last drive…last year I knew they would score. Whatever is wrong is larger deal, I wish I knew what it is.

Its time to log off for a while.

I think its also time for many of you on here to do the same.

See you in a few, hours, days, weeks, years... guess we will see which, but it for sure wont be for the rest of today.

Have a drink, take a break, and breath. The sun will come up tomorrow... an hour earlier.
