*** Official IOWA STATE vs Texas Tech Game(Day) Thread ***

[BigJCy]

Well didn't expect a 7-5 or 6-6 season this year. That's a major load in the pants.

 

[davegilbertson]

Remember. You're alive in one of the most prosperous countries the world has ever known. ISU is having its most successful run in FB history.

This outcome sucked. but stay going on the rough side of the mt. Stop crying. Don't be a b*tch.

Oh nvm. Keep crying and being babies. Is it a disappointing season? Yes. Was this a disappointing performance? Absolutely.

But these same guys (coaches and student athletes) we hoped would take us to new levels previously unthinkable have been foundational in establishing a new floor.

A floor where 7-8 wins feels like a let down.

So yeah. Be upset. Piss and moan. But keep some perspective. And put some respect on it when you talk on the Iowa State Cyclones.

You know no one else will.
Honor before victory. Loyal son, forever true.

Hole was too deep. That first half was atrocious, glad we had a chance at the end, but we did not play winning football today.

 

[ISUTex]

Our defense flat out sucks. Period. Disaster year.

 

[Clonefan94]

At least we should beat OU, they have a winning record.

No ****. Get your team up to beat teams you should beat. If you can’t be the scrubs, guess what we are still scrubs.

 

[RonBurgundy]

Wow, I never gave up even when the haters were out in force. But that is another nut job. We had this at the end. Both offense for not getting to end zone and defense for that last drive ****** it up big.

 

[TheSammo]

Who will be hungry, and will definitely beat us if Breece, Kolar, McDonald all sit out

What about Brock?

 

[ZuriCyclone]

Most Iowa state and CMC era way of losing a game.

Would have folks taken a 7 point loss or losing with a 62 yarder


At this point you just have to smile and accept our reality

 

[CyVolk]

yeah, lot if things really poor in this game, but that last series inside the 20, that was playing not to lose

so many mistakes there in the last minutes, in a game littered with mistakes

I would have preferred to play to win but can understand being risk adverse with 3 interceptions already thrown.

 

[madguy30]

If we run on our 3rd down stay inbounds and we waste 30 seconds. Purdy running out of bounds was so dumb

Repeating and repeating: those last 3 or 4 plays before ISU's field goal were a mess in general. How are things not more organized for that?

How is there STILL no rhythm or pace to getting plays in and ran?

How is the check down not basically automatic to at least get SOMETHING and let players make the play?

 

[quasistellar]

Yeah. Our bowl travel street cred will take a hit this year

honestly after Baylor I put us at 7-5, taking into consideration how our o line still looked bad and we have no other wr besides hutch and manning is still calling plays.

 

[NateTheBoss]

Our defense is just really beat up this year unfortunately. Not many backups stepping up and making plays when they are in.

 

[CRcyclone6]

Just embarrassing.

 

[ISUKyro]

That kicker is getting the most action of his life tonight.

Beth from ESPN is probably leting him try 'the pump jack'.

 

[CloneGuy8]

We didn't lose because of a 62 yard field goal. We lost because the defense gave up 31 in the first half. That crap can't happen if you expect to win.

 

[AllInForISU]

Our defense flat out sucks. Period. Disaster year.

They were bad this game sure, but have been pretty fantastic the rest of the year sans WV.

 

[madguy30]

I would have preferred to play to win but can understand being risk adverse with 3 interceptions already thrown.

Which is why you don't call long developing plays.

 

[Jer]

That kicker is getting the most action of his life tonight.

He’s a kicker, that could mean first base.

 

[Jiub]

Glad to see us claw our way back into the game, great effort!

 

[CentexCyclone]

Well ain't that just a kick to the jimmy.
