Iowa State Vs. Nebraska Game Thread

[bellzisu]

People, it is rather obvious that we don't have the horses. That is why we don't finish games strong. We have help coming. Melt down because we played like dog crap for the most part, but firing McDermott isn't the direction the discussion should be going at this point.

If Brackins stays and Gilstrap shows up and is good and we still suck, then we know what the problem is. Right now the problem is, we don't have a roster full of Big 12 starters right now. Some of our players will mature into good players for us, but not at this point.

Help is coming.

Help is coming??? Didn't we hear that last year too?? Eik and Buckley, Clinton Mann, Hamilton, JVB... Weren't these guys suppose to come in and help us now??? Along with Staiger??

I don't know how many more years we can say wait till next year.

Since 1980, here are how Cyclone fans have summed up past and current coaches:

Was it Johnnys fault we could never win on the road......no
Was it Tims fault he left for Chicago......no
Was it LE's fault he had a drinking problem......no
Was it Danny Mac's fault for anything......no
Was it Wayne's fault for everything.......yes
Was it Gene's fault for not being a man....no, well at least until he left
Is it GMac's fault this team looks like an average club team from the sixth floor of the freshman dorm......no

how doesnt it???????? his players and his system forget the players who left. it is what it is

one upside to this game brackins had 25 pts as a team we have 57 pts, finally craig scored less than half our pts.

On a side note, I think it's a falsity that, hypothetically, if we fired McDermott, no one would want to come here. There are ALWAYS coaches looking to move up however they can, and many of the best coaches have the mindset they can do anything, or they wouldn't be where they are.

Garrett hit a FT baby!!!

 

[cstrunk]

Doc Sadler is a cry-baby.

Our talent level is far below where it needs to be. We don't have the athletes to compete in the Big XII. I am still backing McDermott based on the caliber of recruits we seem to be in on. If he can close the deal on some of the bigger names we are chasing, I think he deserves more time. If he continues to recruit guys like we currently have, he absolutely has to go. Taking seven in last year's class was a horrible mistake.

I am in your boat. I know McD can coach. I have been following him since Wayne State where a friend was a student manager for him. He has had success everywhere he has been. I don't understand why it is taking so long at ISU. I just think that next year is probably the make or break year at ISU. We have great basketball fans, heck many winning teams would love to have our attendance.

Maybe McD thought too highly of himself? Maybe he believed in his system, smart enough players could succeed even if they lacked Big12 athleticism? Who knows. All I know is next year his seat will be very warm. I hope he pulls us through, because I really think he could be a long term successful coach at ISU.

The thing I am most disappointed in is how ISU never seems to get up and beat a better team. Orr, Floyd, LE and even WM could all pull a rabbit out of a hat by having the team ready to play and fired up. We have yet to see that out of McD, and that troubles me more than anything.

Colvin and Gilstrap are more highly regarded nationally than any of those guys you listed.

Craig's last road game...will probably be the best player on one of the worst teams in Iowa State history
