*** Official IOWA STATE vs #13 Oklahoma Game(Day) Thread ***

[Cyclones1969]

We came into the season number 7 and have losses to WVU and Texas Tech. Get a grip. We’ve been a disappointment all year.

You should get a grip. You while about everything, then disappear when things go well.

And unless you have been a fan for 3 years, your comments are even dumber

He’s already overcome the built-in disadvantages. We just went to a NY6 bowl and won the Fiesta Bowl last year. Imagine that happening prior to Campbell.

***Covid year

The team we played in that game only played like half a season.

 

[CYDJ]

Lets go state, get it started well.

 

[Darius Bieber]

A lot of bounces going OU’s way….

 

[CYDJ]

So close

 

[harimad]

There is a very good chance this team is 6-5/4-4 going into next week's home finale against TCU.

50% chance. Not sure your statement has the profundity you think it does.

 

[Gunnerclone]

Are these balls greased up or what?

 

[CyGuy5]

How do we never get lucky on those?

Muffed punt earlier and now that

 

[cyclones500]

Dang if we could've grabbed that fumble ... that almost would've made up for the end-of-half blunder.

 

[CYDJ]

Lets go D

That’s completely false, but keep thinking what you want. I went to ISU when I came from DC and have been cheering for them since 2004. I don’t disappear when they’re winning. Posting has been consistently whether winning or losing. You just can’t handle the reality of this team massively underperforming.

HOpe to see Will Mac on the field more in the 2nd half

 

[CYDJ]

Thats it! Way to start the half!

You said, I quote, “biggest failure ever.”
Laugh. My. *******. Ass. Off.

 

[trevn]

Probably going to have to come back from being 14 down very soon

Good call.

 

[ozzie8]

That’s how you start a half

 

[CentexCyclone]

Mike Rose might win this game for the Cyclones all by himself.

 

[Darius Bieber]

Please, no more trying to be too cute on offense

 

[t-noah]

Good field position. Great D and sack by Rose.

Let's Go!!!

True, and his play has more often lead to a win.

This is true but it's also why I don't subscribe to the idea that he's elite. While he has helped us win, he is also too turnover prone. There's been an incredible amount of good - and a lot of not so good. Hes a good player, but IMO the ball security has kept him from being a truly great.

I just... did I miss something on tv? Did he have to leave for a play? Why did we decide that was the time to put Dekkers in and try that? I don't understand.... clearly there's a lot I don't understand but that decision I just don't get. If something happened where he had to leave the field for a play for some reason than I understand that but if Purdy was good to go... I don't know. You put in the backup for the first time since - Kansas? - and clearly OU's going to think something's up. Again unless I just missed something and he had to leave for a play.

the fumble... just... I appreciate him trying to make a play. But that's a situation where a 4 year starter has to understand throw it out, scramble but you can't get caught in between like that because 9 times out of 10 in sports, when you're caught in between, something bad happens.
