Official ISU-Nebraska Post Game Thread

Ouch. Just got home from the game.

The offense obviously played horrid, but I think the real story of the the day was the defense's failure to even touch Ganz on 99% of the plays today. Other than that, the defense didn't play THAT bad.

The defense gave up OVER 500 YARDS TODAY.

THAT.....is BAD.

What makes you think that I'm giving up? I want ISU to be a better team. Part of that is wise use of limited resources.

You didn't answer my question.

Do you think that Chizik is making the most of the situation? I would say that he isn't. Just my two cents. I like this team, I think that it would be better with Bates. I don't like the coaching. I don't like kicking a field goal in the red zone midway through the 4th down by two touchdowns when the offense hasn't been moving the ball all day. I don't like the slow adjustments or no adjustments.

But we held them to less than 600.:yes:




:no:

Can you name for me a coach at a BCS school who started out 4 - 20 (I'm going to leave out the 1aa schools...) and went on to build a good program?

What was Captain Kirks record his first two year?

To answer your question I think that we should have kept McCarney.

 

[atlantacyclone]

And Eustachy.

That's the point, how many coaches in a row must you support while they do nothing but lose before you expect some positives? I supported Walden while I was at ISU. Fifteen years (of mostly losing) later and I'm beginning to run out of patience.

So after fifteen years of mostly losing you expect a first-time head coach to come in and turn everything around in less than two years?

4-19, as mentioned above.

 

[ISUKyro]

The D had no chance for a good game because our offense couldn't stay on the field for more than 8 plays at a time.

I expect the University to put a winning team on the field. It hasn't done that and hasn't shown any indications that it will do so in the near future.

Ouch. Just got home from the game.


We've obviously taken our position as the worst team in the North and we'll find out next week who the worst team in the Big 12 is.

???

I think we answered that question three games ago. :sad:

While I agree, the offense had a total of 2 first downs in the 1st half and 9 in the 2nd half. It's hard for a young defense to hold up under those conditions.

They aren't good, but they got absolutely no help from the offense today. They did get some stops in the 2nd half, but absolutely no points from the offense.

Michigan State has a winning record and they're playing a perrenial conference power.

We just got besmirched by a very mediocre team.

Michigan St also has something we don't have right now - a surplus of talent.

And for those that think McCarney would be doing a better job - he's the reason why we don't have that talent - and why Chizik's having to rebuild this program from the foundation up.

 

[dustinal]

To answer your question I think that we should have kept McCarney.

He started 5-17 in his first two years and didn't have a winning season until year six. Why did you support him then when you're giving up now?

 

[atlantacyclone]

The only bright spot in the first half was a couple of good hits and punts.

We now know that we can discredit your subsequent posts.

 

[jakemcilroy]

OK all you Capt. Kirk lovers (comparing records), so then we should expect 7-5 next year?

 

[atlantacyclone]

You can complain all you want about McCarney, but we had the best seasons in Cyclone history in his tenure. His last season is starting to look not so bad...

 

[MontyBurns]

Ferentz was 4-19 his first two seasons at Iowa, and he has two Conference Co-Championships and a BCS Bowl blowout loss since.

I corrected it for you.
