It's still plenty active...I think some people even post from the game, which is funny.
The passive 'CPR' threads I would expect to come around if ISU starts out 0-2 and 1-2 or something. Retrospect will be on the rise.
What will success look like? Fall 2017

I think a bowl game is a very successful season.
Beyond that, I'd like to see a total point differential of -10 or better. That would almost guarantee that we were competitive in all games. This to me is just as important as the actual win/loss to tell us about the future of the program

Cue angry Hawk trolls in 5,4,3.....
I don't consider Iowa a bad team. I don't think they are near as awesome their fans think they are, but they are not bad by any standards.
I wonder if Kansas State fans said the same type of things about successful coaches leaving when they reach a certain level of success before Snyder? How about Iowa before Fry? Why can't we hope and expect, in today's world, that CMC will make a good, winning program here and that we will pay him enough to keep him happy. Ames is a great place to raise a family and live and even retire. Why not CMC?
I think we have a good chance to beat Iowa because they have an unproven QB. Yes, they will run it, but I think we can go man on receivers and stack the line. I think our defensive line, though young, is probably better than last year and our linebackers are as good or better. Safeties are more experienced and we are in JTS and in year 2 so players will understand how to play the way CMC wants and not be thinking so much, but rather reacting.
I was biting my tongue all the way when I was writing the original post. I wanted to say, "I think the Cyclones have a chance to be so much better than anyone is thinking." But chose to not be as predictable. Hope we continue to play now after win #6. If anyone would have told me back then that we would already have beaten a very good Oklahoma, and now had beaten two top 4 teams, I would not have believed that much success.
