I'm not going to listen based solely on your recommendation. So what am I missing because of having taken your advice?
That's where I'm at too. There were things I definitely hope he was wrong about, but there's nothing he said that wasn't realistic. History does tend to repeat itself, and the law of averages here at ISU tend to follow along with his predictions.
Honestly it was all historically the truth from the relive as of fan and how the cycle of coaches has gone. I was maybe looking for more a rah-rah and maybe too naive with the truth..... I just don't want history to continue.....

He kind of predicted football trending up and bball down. I am honestly fine with that as football is what brings in the money and gets more national attention.
No hat just trolling cuse you will be missed.... I hope u 0-5 with positive trends across the board... I was a little concerned on the Park hype, feels like Steel....
Feels like Steele? I don't get that. Steele came in a little hyped but he was a pretty under the radar JUCO guy. He got hyped a bit in fall practice but the hype didn't really go crazy until he balled out against Iowa.
I think we've seen enough from Park and this offense to garner the hype in breaking the records. And it's really not absurd hype. 20 TD's in a season? That's 1.66 per game.
With the WR core we have he shouldn't have a problem getting 20. I really hope your Matt Campbell take is wrong, I hope he stays here for a long time. I could see Prohm not being here in 5 years tho.
It will be interesting to see how Park plays. Steele was actually very talented with two very big issues. One, he always was trying to make a play, even when there was nothing there. Lot of wow moments out of him, good and bad. Two, the guy just flat dropped the football way too much. Really too bad he did not redshirt a year and have some real coaching in terms of identifying what to do and not do in games.

Meh, basketball might have a bumpy year this year, but the year after could be a very, very talented team. Possibly one of our best if Wigginton stays for a second year and we get another decent class in. Football is definitely trending up, so it's all good in my book.
I hope that you're right about hoping that you're wrong.
If you follow
I pick up what you are putting down.
Eh, if I had to guess, I'd say next year is a bit on the rough side, with some decent improvement the following year, maybe as a low-level tourney team. Then, if we are going to possibly see one of those "best" years ever, it would possibly be that following year or even later. Regardless, I think we are more than a couple years out from possibly getting back up to the heights we have been accustomed to recently, and that is all assuming no bumps happen along the way. I'm not knocking that route, but I just feel like those are realistic expectations based off what we are working with at this moment.
