Observations from Our Win Over the Kliff Notes

[GTO]

Just one more game away from Bowl eligibility, but I think I speak for many here that I want much, much more. We thoroughly dominated an improved Texas Tech team on the road and our defense in conference games has been legit. Here are my observations from today's game, plus a few more below which did not make the cut. Please share some of your own or others I missed.

-Black Betty, LanRam, Oh Oh, Black Betty, LanRam. We needed a yard. LanRam! Clone fans going wild. LanRam! (sorry)
-Do we have room for another wide receiver? Marcel Spears would like to know.
-So. Much. Holding. They were letting their offensive line get away with everything. Didn't matter.
-Visiting hours for the wake will be 9am-3pm for the player destroyed by De'Monte Ruth's tackle.
-Montgomery really "pinballed" that long run, bouncing off of multiple defenders.
-I look forward to the day when announcers will actually give us some credit/respect. I guess we have to keep winning.
-Carson Lensing hitting Shimonek with a massive Rock Bottom for the 3-count.

The Kempt haters got to go to bed hungry tonight.

False, crow was served.

A couple other things I noticed today:

-This was one of the fastest FB games I've ever seen us play. My guess? Refs didn't call many penalties because they also wanted out of that **** hole as quickly as possible.
-Anybody catch the replay of every wide receiver coming over and taking turns at wiping the invisible dust from Eaton's shoulders after that second TD catch?

Another fine job GTO. Always enjoy your polls.

I'm sick of everyone saying Kempt can't make the hard throws. It hasn't all been bubble screens. He's actually been hitting the deep ball pretty well and hitting many receivers in stride.

Ruth is a beast

I tend to not ***** about penalties since I watch the games with my kids and I don’t want them to be one of those guys ******** about refs. But I saw caught myself, seeing holds and yelling today. But ISU so good about not giving up dumb penalties since Texas.

Montgomery is so dirty, didn’t realize he had so many yards.

Just a good game against a good opponent and Etc.

And rep to NE Iowa boy Lensing. Huge sack

 

[cymate]

Here is my opinion. I am probably the most critical person about Iowa State football. I cant find one reason why the cyclones cant beat TCU next weekend.

There are still a few holding out refusing to eat it. The staff suddenly learned to game plan better with Kempt.

 

[Boxerdaddy]

There should be something about our pick six on there

It probably helped that Tech didn't throw a downfield pass until like, halfway through the second quarter. Made the clock move faster.

9 minutes left in the game, beautiful day, homecoming, TTU down 11 but showing some momentum with the ball in ISU territory - - - STADIUM 75% EMPTY. Wow.

I have a cousin who works for Tx Tech and I can tell you that Tech fans are extremely fickle.....If the football team is on a hot streak they will show up and fill the stadium but...If their fortunes go the other way the fans just say to heck with it and stay home........

Great Victory and Go Cyclones

He has done everything you need to win games, and his passing is getting better. He looks like Peyton Manning compared to the QBs at KU and a school to the east.
