If we make the CCG against OU, and they are being considered for the National playoff, would we be getting another Big12 apology letter after the game? I’ve been a Cyclone too long, it’s given me nut cup paranoia.

If we are 8-3 and in the CCG, I would call it a successful season. Anything after that is gravy. In a few years, my expectations may be higher, but not this year.

There could be a situation where if we know a win over K State gets us in. What a great way to get monkey off back.

The Iowa State fan in me has 04\05 flashbacks thinking of this.

Ive wanted that win over KSU more than any other game this season though, after the last decade of terribleness in this series. To do it to send us to the championship game would be huge.

Our crowd atmosphere will sure as **** be better than it was against Mizzou back in 2004 though.

I’m all for optimism and I really hope we end up in the Big 12 Championship but I’m still not convinced this team can win out. At Texas is going to be tough, even if they did just get beat by Oklahoma State
IT wasn't lucky. Vegas only had it as TX -3.5, Herman isn't good as favorite, TX was over rated to begin with.
They have poor QB play and Elhinger won't get anything between the tackles. Iowa State SHOULD be favored in all remaining games, even though we know they will be a dog to TX.
