God forbid I don’t spend all my time on this website. Good thing I’m not held to the same standard as our HC who keeps pulling losses out of the jaws of victory season after season, without seeming to learn anything in the process.
Whatever dude, it’s obvious what you are. Who do you think you’re fooling at this point?

I've never asked for the firing of CMC, and specifically have said we need to keep him.

I guess if we had like 4 years in a row of a losing record... then maybe we should?

Why does everyone want me to say we should fire him? Guess what.... I need to improve at doing my job at work too... and so does Matt. Not a big deal. Matt himself said not too long after the Ohio game last year that he blamed himself for not being more aggressive and allowing his players to win games. So he knows what needs done. He said at halftime last night too that they need to start throwing more to set up the run. Again... he's aware. But then he seems to go right back to his old stubborn ways again of coaching like KF at Iowa. And I don't think it's Mouser... it's been this way under many OC's under CMC.

We have never had this much success under a head coach at Iowa State. Take a hike.

Do your job and try to improve since you admit you need improvement at your job. Matt Campbell and staff will take care of the football team

You know those people that are miserable in a relationship but won’t leave their partner or do something to improve things? That’s you guys right now. Move on or do something


Just in my family. Aunt and uncle worked at the university. Uncle is professor emeritus at ISU. Dad went during the "Roland Rocket" years. Sister and my kids. I'm not going to include my wife's family.

Season tickets............donations to the athletic department over all those years by many in my family.

And you want people like us to move on or "do something" because of this stupid a** built in excuse called NIL we just might think is a complete waste of money?

My family has been a part of and supported this university long before you, Matt Campbell, Jamie Pollard, Blum or Chris Williams were even born.

Matt Campbell isn't the next coming. He isn't going to take us to some promised land whether we all deed our farms to the program or not.

I am more than happy he is here. He has done some great things. But he has some shortcomings that quite frankly rear their ugly head every year. One thing that has held him back and you may never be able to accuse him of before his time at ISU is over is being able to recruit for or develop good offensive line play. Because he hasn't up until now. And me donating thousands isn't going to help because apparently after almost a decade at this level he has no clue how it's done.

The big boys are no longer in this conference. Losing to the Jayhawks......in football and Red Raiders of the world are not because the fans of ISU are "cheap".

So next time you or any of the others that are pimping NIL feel the need to use that excuse after every loss why don't you do everyone a favor by taking off that high hat and blowing it out your a**!

Do you get all negative on your job performance? I’d hate to work for a place like that, but I guess that explains you.

Tell us how you have felt about the rest of Iowa State’s coaches throughout our successful football history?

I’m in the same boat as you with the family ties. My post was aimed at the people that can never have anything positive to say about this program and seem miserable here as fans. Just no joy in it for them

Doesn’t seem like my post applied to you so I’m not sure why you wrote up a few paragraphs

Most of us on here love Iowa State and we only want what is best for our football program. I think this clouds our judgment sometimes. In football, Iowa State is at a disadvantage compared to most of our competition. This is a disadvantage that CMC must overcome every season just by choosing to stay at Iowa State. Even though the Big 12 has changed, we are still at a disadvantage compared to 75% of the conference. Most teams have more money and better geographical recruiting resources. Because of that, CMC is doing more with less. We can sell our fan base and our coaching staff to recruits. That is our advantage. The reality is most kids are coming here to play for CMC and our fan base is just a bonus. Our talent level is the best it has ever been because of him. Our program is achieving things it never has. It is ok to be critical of him at times, but all this extreme drama when we are 8-2 is just ridiculous.

In my opinion, we won the game last night because of our coaching. Lining up man on man, Cincinatti was better than us. We had difficulty running the ball to put it mildly. We weren't stopping them with any consistency on defense. We won because our players kept competing and executing for 60 minutes and our coaches got the players in the right spots to make plays.

This doesn't include Campbell's first year, but does include the bad year 2 years ago.

It is kinda funny though that on that list, Gundy is on the hot seat, Kansas State fans are starting to want Kleimann gone, and Sonny Dykes is on the hot seat.

Good work out of Campbell. I do feel the 2017 team was much stronger than this one though. That team faced a very difficult schedule and had some outstanding wins. I guess this years weak schedule is the norm going forward though. Has felt like a G5 schedule.
