Can't help but wonder how Latrell Bankson is feeling right now. I'm sure he's happy for his former teammates, and I know he wants to go somewhere where he can get more snaps, but it has to hurt to not be part of this historic win.

I like the sky kick on the kick off: it might give up a few yards on the return, but helps prevent a huge return and forces the receiving team to do something they do not normally do

It was brilliant given our coverage issues and taking into consideration how young and inexperienced this Oregon team was. A key component to winning the game.

I'm also struck today by the difference between Texas and Iowa State. Texas is trying to buy its way to success (paying Herman and his staff $25 million to leave and Lord knows how many millions to bring the next coach and his staff on board), while Iowa State is earning success by outworking the competition.

Texas is looking for an escalator to the top of the mountain while Iowa State is taking the stairs.

Shoutout to Kene Nwangwu. He was a huge factor for us all season as a backup and kick returner. A lot of guys in his position would've transferred a couple years ago.

Academic all-star in Big 12 pretty much every year as a mechanical engineering major, think he's here for more than just the football. I like to see that, we got some good young men lately. :)

Hawkeye fan yanking my chain afterwards that ISU would never be able to keep CMC. Then went on to say rumor out of IC that Jets were wanting Brian! Sent him the satire piece from WRNL & haven’t heard a word since. Hawks have eyeballs and they see what everybody else can see !

I can’t believe Hawk fans thought that was real. Well played WRNL.
