Ok Care to guess how many times we've had a winning conference record?
i agree, i get that is has been much worse and I wouldn’t want to go back to that. But falling so short of the actual potential is frustrating.
Boys I have witnessed this type of football from ISU since 1962 ....This is just typical Iowa State Football!
Yeah, and teams all over the country year after year hire flops. Klieman inherited a senior laden disciplined team. I think he's a hell of a coach and will be good, but let's not act like the odds are good ISU goes and finds a coach that gets them 23-24 wins in 3 years.
I think coaches have taken away a lot of his game that made him so good last year
You are dreaming. The only warm bowl this team can get now is in Phoenix. Say hello to Memphis if we are lucky.
Then go away if you are sick of it.
This attitude has to stop, we kept saying we were better than Iowa, then Baylor, then OSU and now K-state - we are not better than any of those teams. We a an average team that will go to an average bowl because this team keeps making mistakes, turnovers, penalties etc through the whole season without much improvement.
Two of the best DT in our history... no adjustments against the run. Should’ve switched it up. So many huge gains to the right, never adjusted.
Defense has been vulnerable all year. Tell tale signs have been there. Don't know if it's due to personal or scheme but this isn't a surprise.
Obviously not a lot... But things are different now, there was a LOT of talk about this Iowa State defense being the best in the Big 12 during preseason this year.
And we have no excuses if a team like Baylor can come back and go11-1 after their death penalty and 1-10 season with their personnel hiring.
We all deserve better. However, if you become a cyclone fan you have to realize it is near impossible winning here. Patience my man. We'll get there next year.
I don't think there is a Special Teams coach, which might be the problem
Yep, I want to see how Kliemen replaces this OL he has but if he does (I suspect he will) he's going to be a pain in our ass I suspect. The guy and his staff can Coach.
I mean, you guys didn't expect a different outcome playing down there, did you? I wasn't excited for this game at all....in fact, I was dreading it. Opted to just catch up to it on DVR and watch other games for a while rather than watching live like I do practically all other games.
K-State just has our number. We pretty much always play like **** against them, and yes, I know all of the games over the past 10+ years have been close, but we just kill ourselves with penalties and stupid play calls all game long against them. Every time. We finally made a few plays last year but had to scratch and claw that win out against a clearly inferior team, while we were at home. And although K-State is once again inferior this year, if you didn't know we'd go down there and lose.....well, you haven't been watching ISU football long enough yet.

Fair but let's not act like MC is the only good coach out there.
Really, first time I saw a Cambell team quit on the field. Worse is we were down only by a single TD.
They’ve really done an amazing job of holding Hakeem Butler to zero catches and David Montgomery to zero yards. Why can’t we get a coach like that?
