*** Official Texas Tech vs #11 IOWA STATE Game(Day) Thread ***

[Peter]

Very deserving loss. Tech was better team today. I think we are in for a rough November.

 

[CycloneWanderer]

We earned that loss. Hopefully they learn and come to play next week.

 

[Darius Bieber]

Drop to 22nd?

We’re dropping out; especially since AP poll don’t matter anymore

 

[CYEATHAWK]

I think their defense was ranked 122nd. You would think with 2 weeks prep things would have looked better.

 

[ISUAlum2002]

Welp, not being able to push it in from a 1st and goal at the 1 (then a penalty) was the game.

 

[gocy444]

Hopefully this is a wake up call. We cannot continue with these slow starts. We looked lazy and unprepared today. Incredibly disappointing.

 

[CoachHines3]

Inexcusable

 

[cyatheart]

Well we can put all this playoff non sense to bed

 

[FerShizzle]

Basketball season starts soon.

 

[AuH2O]

If on obvious passing downs Moore and Burkle split out are your best options, you have problems.

 

[ghettocowboy4cy]

Well folks we are Iowa state after all so the nut cup was never in the trash.

 

[CycloneErik]

Don't forget those special teams!

I'd rather forget them.

 

[khardbored]

Well, K-State is also only beating UH by 2 in the 4th quarter?!?

 

[danvillecyclone]

No, the offense did.

No. Mouser did

 

[Drew0311]

Dear basketball team. We are now ready to switch focus

 

[FallOf81]

Things got weird. Rocco comments to the press bit him in the ass. Karma.

 

[cyclones500]

Tech tried to gift us -- going for it on 4th & 6 instead of punting, running "hurry-up" with a lead. Didn't matter.

 

[Clonefan94]

This coaching staff really let this team down. Two weeks to prepare against a terrible TTech team and this is what we bring to the table. Don’t get me wrong, I’m fine with. 7 wins a year as long as they stop asking me to donate even more every year than I already do.

 

[Cloned4Life]

We pretty much got exposed for who we really are to be honest.

I think there's some fairness to that.

But the disappointing part is - there are a lot of other mediocre teams out there. We're not WAY worse than other mediocre teams floating around the top 10 - 25. That's why ya just HAVE to win these games. So what if we're NOT actually a "great" team. So what if an 8-0 record would be inflated. No one else is more deserving. Ya just have to win these.

We have a great coach, ultimate program builder. I hope he is here forever. Reason he is not at a blue blood, he struggles when a front runner and expectations are high .
