    Otz named to Naismith Late Season Coach of the Year watch list

    Sampson’s praise says it all. In 3 seasons, TJ has created a culture that demands an understanding of and an intense desire to execute the defense. When coaches like Sampson call your team the toughest in the country, you know you’re doing something right. My mind always goes to the behind the...

    *** Official #25 IOWA STATE vs #17 TCU Game(Day) Thread ***

    In sports we say things like “hitting is contagious” or “making shots is contagious”. One thing that is definitely contagious is heart, hustle and energy within a program. Especially when your playing time is connected to those things. I said it once last year but it is almost like they try to...

    *** Official #25 IOWA STATE vs #17 TCU Game(Day) Thread ***

    Love these types of videos! Definitely shows a candid moment of the team enjoying a win. But my bigger takeaway is how indicative it is of the culture TJ has built. You got guys that haven’t played hardly at all celebrating just as hard as the starters. And TJ highlighting Gabe’s day in and day...

    *** Official #25 IOWA STATE vs #17 TCU Game(Day) Thread ***

    Such a fun game! So many guys played a part. King looks like he can be a real problem for teams. Tamin continuing to grow into a Big 12 PG, BRE doing his thing! And how about Watson’s block?!?! That was DIRTY! Granted, it led to a made 3 but that was some athleticism there

    All FB coaching rumors and speculation

    Chris, just so you know…Your coming on here and defending your product gained a subscriber. I have enjoyed CF for YEARS and have done so for FREE until I decided after the attacks and your subsequent passionate defense of CF that it was time to show my appreciation. THANK YOU for CF!

    We were out-Iowa-ing Iowa

    On TV, it was absolutely obvious that he was held! Fist full of Jersey.

    We were out-Iowa-ing Iowa

    The point isn’t whether the receiver was open or not. It’s the fact that we were beating Kirk at the game he wants to play. So why deviate from that? Our D was doing their thing and we had just had a methodical drive where we ran the ball and hit the open man when it presented itself, which...

    We were out-Iowa-ing Iowa

    First and 10 from your own 10 after forcing Iowa to punt yet again. And you take a shot in the hopes of flipping the field position (I presume)?!?! Only to throw a pick that results in 7 point That’s why Kirk Ferentz is who/what he is. Because he has an identity/philosophy that he does not...

    We get a mulligan!

    Yes! I’ll take it any way I can get it but a convincing/comfortable win would be much preferred!

    We get a mulligan!

    That may well be true. But every CFB fan and especially every prospective recruit will at very least see the final score. It’s the exclamation point to the rest of the show (which we already know we’ll absolutely kill that part of it). Put the exclamation point at the end this time!

    We get a mulligan!

    This is a redo of epic proportions. This is “one stroke up with one hole to play, hit it in the water but get to reload and try again without penalty” type stuff. The last time GameDay came to town and we let the rest of the country in on our state’s rivalry, ISU showed out in every possible...

    Coach Campbell comparison to Rich Rod

    This may not be popular here but I think one of the best compliments you could give Coach Campbell would be that he’s a Coach Ferentz type. I have been saying it all year and the Fiesta Bowl 43 minute to 17 minute ball control beat down that we gave Oregon was proof. This is the style of...

    Coach Campbell comparison to Rich Rod

    While I have never met Rich Rodriguez, I would not argue with you on that. The title may be misleading. The point was that I feel Coach Campbell’s model of a program works better at ISU than it would a blue blood program. Same as Rich Rod’s model worked better at WVU than it did at Michigan.

    Coach Campbell comparison to Rich Rod

    I agree, definitely not out of the realm of possibility for him to want to accept the challenges a blue blood or NFL job would entail. And I am certainly not saying he couldn’t do it. For whatever reason I feel like his heart is at ISU and it would take one hell of an opportunity to pull him away.
