    JP's next big hire

    You're right. We keep going to the games anyway. And none of us are lifelong fans because of our winning tradition. We love our school. That must be what they're banking on in the retention of CPR. Otherwise, any objective, performance-based analysis points to hiring a new coach. And JP has...

    JP's next big hire

    JP has to be looking and CPR isn't naive enough to think he's not. There are a lot of good coaches out there who would take on this task. We have a great fan base who fill the stadium. We're in a competitive conference. We have an AD who is committed to growing our program.

    Whoever coaches Toledo or Lane Kiffin but not really.

    JP's next big hire

    Jim Tressel. Jim Tressel. Jim Tressel. It's an urban legend I just made up that if you invoke his name three times, he appears in the Jacobsen Building to sign a contract as JP's new big hire. It's in our AD's DNA to make a splash hire that everyone doubts and complains about right away. Or...

    Omaha Establishment for Cyclone Watching

    I just confirmed with Chase at Saints that they will have a TV dedicated to Cyclone Football this evening. Thank you for the Intel, ISUCHIEF! I live blocks from there. Shame on me for not knowing about previous watch events.

    Congrats on the comeback win, impressive

    I'm a Cyclone who loves UNI 364 days out of the year and follow all of your sports regularly. Good luck the rest of the year and keep giving if you're a booster!

    Positives from the TCU game

    I really, really, really want to believe this. I grew up in Iowa, shed blood for Iowa and I love the fact that we have a homegrown guy on our sidelines. I'm not saying "fire him," but he needs some help in his deficiencies.

    Positives from the TCU game

    You're right, the defense was a bright spot. But the players deserve better coaching than this. They played their hearts out but the coaches didn't prepare them for the season. Rhoads is a great, fiery individual who excels at reactionary histrionics and garners Gangnam Style-level YouTube...

    *** Official TCU at ISU Gameday Thread ***

    There is nothing positive to say about our beloved team this year. I love these guys, but they are very, very bad at playing the game of football. I'm not even going to pretend to know what needs to be done. But I really hope they do some things in the offseason so that we can field a...
