*** Official IOWA STATE VS #9 Oklahoma Game(Day) Thread ***

****, Kolar was open

 

[LincolnSwinger]

Picked up PI call going to be the difference in the game

This turned out to be completely accurate.

I'll take this nutcup type loss. I love watching a team that never quits. They screwed themselves with a lot of mistakes, but they never quit.

The effort has never been in question under Campbell imo with exception to maybe a couple of games in season 1.

The little things coming back to bite them has been an issue.

 

[ISUAlum2002]

I have to ask why did we not play for OT there? I don’t hate the idea of going for 2 but our D finally seemed to figure something out

I'm not so sure the D had figured something out so much as OU had gone painfully conservative in their last couple of possessions.

 

[Dandy]

Hurts is hella over rated.

 

[cygrads]

Disappointed obviously, but those of you who were shi**ing on that team during the game can go to hell. These young men are giving their all every play and came up 1 point short. I’m very proud of this team and the effort tonight.

During the game emotions run high so cut folks some slack.

 

[Sigmapolis]

I wanted that so bad.

But I'm so proud of our guys for fighting like that.

The program on the cusp of some really great things. This just was not our year yet.

 

[BWRhasnoAC]

Was a great game in the end.

 

[CyGuy5]

Like two years ago at Oklahoma?

or a couple weeks later against TCU?

even in that season we had our fair share of heartbreak with Iowa, Okie Lite and K-State

 

[madguy30]

Going for two was the wrong call.

Iowa State held Oklahoma to seven points in the second half. Trust the defense in overtime.

I would have been way more nervous for the PAT than going for 2.

 

[NWICY]

4 losses by a combined 11 points. What could've been

Agree but just 3(?) yrs ago none of us were even thinking about being contenders. The FB program and this coaching staff will continue to grow things look bright for us. One of these yrs we'll get the ball bounces. Heck it took 3 ots for Baylor to win today lucky bastards some yr it'll be our turn.

 

[ArgentCy]

I like the going for two call since I don’t think we could have stopped them in overtime.

You had them stunned and on the ropes. And they had the te again for the win. Lots of what ifs this year again.

 

[CycloneVet]

******* incredible effort fellas. They didnt quit! We dont need to quit on them!

Absolutely ******* yes.

 

[Blandboy]

Hear from me, we were on a roll, killed them second half, they were bruised up, tired and cramping. Another learning experience for this staff, I hope they finally catch on.

You’re so smart; resume builder for you.

 

[Clonehomer]

This turned out to be completely accurate.

Hard to say. OU may have came out of the half different if it were closer.

Also, we had a holding call picked up that shouldn't have been.

 

[Cydewayz]

Love the call......lots of other "hindsights" in the game to be frustrated by.

We put together a complete game we can beat anyone.

 

[ca4cy]

Well I don't think I need to worry about getting my heart ripped out tonight.

Aaaaand I stand corrected.

 

[Jayshellberg]

OU may have talent, but the Cyclones clearly had more heart.

 

[Darius Bieber]

OU may have talent, but the Cyclones clearly had more heart.

yeah honestly can’t wait until next year.

 

[Blandboy]

During the game emotions run high so cut folks some slack.

This...and there are some real dicks on CF.
