Checking to clarify: When @brentblum says ISU started 4-0 (or better) for only third time since 1978, I assume he isn't counting '78? That is, after '78 through present.

'78: 4-0
'80: 5-0
'24: 7-0
'25: 4-0 (and hopefully more!!)

It is cool that 2 of the 3-or-4 have been the past two season. (That's his main point)

Thanks for the clarification! Numbers got a little jumbled in my brain in my old age.

Too many beers on your birthday?

I wasn't alive but the 1980 season flipped after the great start.

Started 5-0, lost 5 in a row, ended with a win, no bowl.

For shame, how could you guys forget Coach McCarney and the 2000 team starting 4-0.

Not enough coffee in the morning before recording!

No biggie. I hesitate to nitpick, I like the history stats you often weave into the mix, so it's more likely I'd notice details.

Side note: If you think your brain is old-age & jumbled, you have nuthin' on mine!

This is the second time I've heard them reference getting through the "1st quarter of the season" this week. Love the optimism we're playing 16 games this year!

Ach! Good catch! I had a feeling I had forgotten something.

Did CW say the week between Akron and Tech in 2017?

It was between Akron and UT. They lost that UT game when Park had the falling out, but the defense shined. The following week they upset OU and the program has been different ever since

I understood it as weeks.

41 ain't old. Amigo!

What was Jace Gilbert’s injury during the Kstate game? Be nice to have him back for kickoffs. A little worried if Konrardy is hurt now too.

 

[Pizzapitter]

Appreciate Blum's and CW analysis today/always.
If one thing stood out in today's pod,
We are defensively slow, particularly at lb.
Seems for years, Quicker teams cause us numerous problems.
I'd toss "speed" into this equation as well.

Happy Birthday @brentblum today is also my mom's birthday.
