    Tired

    What does being a better person have to do with anything? So on some level, even though we got embarrassed yesterday, you are ok with it because our coach is a better person, which makes us as fans vicariously better people than our hawk brethren? This is an odd issue to raise in my opinion...

    Excited for the rest of the season!

    Who cares? Don’t all players really really want to win every game they play in? I don’t understand the whole ‘they care more about this game than we do’ thing. Even if true, now what? It looked like our coaches didn’t care about the game with vanilla play calling and piss-poor clock...

    Rocco Becht showed poise and Matt Campbell built trust in Saturday's Cy-Hawk game

    Some of us started yelling about it on the last drive in the 3rd quarter. Our offense had no urgency and we looked like we were out there on vacation. It was obvious our coaches had no intention of trying to win that game in the 4th qtr. It looked like we were just happy to try and play it...

    I’ll never boo our team- ever, but I could hear some booing from our crowd…and it was deserved. Even though we shouldn’t boo our team, it was warranted.

    Campbell clock management

    I wasn’t too upset, unfortunately, this is what we have come to expect from our offense. I said this last year, but anytime we’re late in a game and we need our offense to score, they don’t. Our offense cannot score when we need them down the stretch. further, our offense is not built to go 70...

    Rocco Becht showed poise and Matt Campbell built trust in Saturday's Cy-Hawk game

    Why does CF staff (and the guys in Cyclone Reaction) insist on trying to spin the complete failure of our coaches on offense in the edit: 4th quarter? We’re not children. We saw our coaches fail to speed up the tempo and give us a chance to win the game in the 4th quarter. It was pitiful...

    Campbell clock management

    I noticed that too- they cutoff every caller that tried to gripe about the click management. I love the reaction show- but be honest guys and tell us they stink when they stink…don’t carry water for the coaches just because it’s uncomfortable.

    Campbell clock management

    Worst clock management I’ve seen in a long time. We had zero urgency in the 4th qtr. Everyone in the stands was going crazy..it seemed like our coaches were just happy to be there. I see zero difference in our offense this year compared to last year. We have zero ability to win games with our...

    Post-Game Video after win over Northern Iowa 9-2-23

    I was waiting for the ol ‘we’re going to open up the playbook’ piece… I think CMC is the best coach we’ve had in my 40 years of watching Cyclone football and I love the guy- but, we saw the playbook yesterday and we’ve seen it for the last several years. There isn’t the ‘really good stuff’ just...

    56 yd FG.........FREAKING 56 YD FG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Why would you have closed your eyes? It’s not like this was a game-winner. It was a free kick in a game we were firmly controlling. Every kick isn’t a nail-bitter…enjoy the easy games a little more.

    56 yd FG.........FREAKING 56 YD FG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Special teams played great all day- it was nice to have them as a weapon for once instead of being a liability every game. I hope that momentum can continue. As far as the kick goes- that was a great move by CMC to take a shot with a kick in that situation, nothing to lose and give our kicker a...

    Credit Cards

    I do sometimes…KC usually works best. Every now then we’ll fly into Omaha.

    Credit Cards

    We use the Southwest Visa card for personal and business expenses. Pay it off every month. My wife travels for free with me on my companion pass that we’ve earned and we rack up a couple free trips every year for our entire family. Only downside is that Southwest doesn’t do much traveling...

    ISU Gambling Megathread

    Mostly agree with you… I think losing Hanika hurts…he played well last year and I was expecting him to have a Kolar-like year this year. Maybe we’ll have others step up- I’d really love to see a healthy Easton Dean have a breakout season.
