For the first time in 15 years...

[gocy444]

For the first time in my roughly 15 years of Cyclone fandom, I turned to a different channel tonight. As a teen who was obsessed with ISU sports I would still love to come home and love watch Craig Brackins and crew lose on a Wednesday night. I suffered through the Chizik and McDermott eras, watched us lose 77-7 to Baylor in football and get smacked countless other time. I still watched every second I could because I loved it. I’m the guy who stays until the last second because I want to see what the reserves look like and what the future holds.

Maybe it’s just me getting older, but this isn’t even fun to watch.

It is really bad

Time for Prohm to enter the transfer portal.

Should have watched those Walden years. Crowd would go crazy because we would finally get a first down halfway through the second already down 28.

This is heartbreaking. I hope that doesn't make me a JA, but this is just so disappointing.

The sad this about tonight is that the future feels so hopeless. There is nothing to look forward to.

This wasnt fun.

That Baylor game wasnt either....

Finally scoring a TD only to have them house the ensuing kick was one actually kind of funny.

Yep. That's what sucks the most. This roster is in shambles outside of Haliburton who will likely go.

Foster will be good, but big men need guards, and usually they need 1-2 years to develop.

Agreed. Haliburton will be gone and then what? Speaking of Haliburton. Could you imagine if last years teams offense ran through Haliburton and all the guys that went to the NBA we’re supporting cast?

Pollard doesnt have the guts or coldhearted businessmen like swagger too just end the Prohm era. Sure sure he fired Rhoads but also gave Kevin Jackson ungodly amount of patience for a wrestling program that has 8 NCAA titles but none since '87

Yep.

A frontcourt of Conditt, Young, Foster, Blackwell, and Johnson should be one you can win with. Land a good grad transfer guard, and the backcourt should be enough to hold interest. I mean the GT, Bolton, and one of the freshmen should be serviceable. And Jackson could make a jump. Self, Drew, Beard etc would be at least on the bubble with such a team.

But Prohm needs a talent buffer to avoid losses to FAMU and Milwaukee, and to finish 9-9

LOL. Like Pollard gives a **** about wrestling. Even if he was willing to part with the money, it would make him look really bad to fire a guy less than a year after extending him and giving him a big buyout.

You do realize he went and got Dresser and is paying him a (I think) top 5 salary to be the wrestling coach. I’ve seen him at all the home duals this year and I think last year too. So I think he might care a little.

 

[cyups2323]

I think Haliburton will be back next year. As we continue to struggle and good teams take him out of the game (because he is all we have obviously) his stock will fall a little. I think he likes it here and if he doesn't get unbelievable feedback he will come back for 1 more year. He doesn't wanna go out like this.

I’m afraid you’re right. Giving McDermott the opportunity for a 5th year is enough proof. Jamie is a $$$ man and basketball profits a tiny fraction the amount football does so he doesn’t really care.

 

[clonehoodie]

If Haliburton tries to dunk in the NBA with that skinny body, he will be broken in two.

Now I know why tix were $15...

I went tonight and the parquet was 1/3 full with 3 mins left.

I didn’t really believe anyone that had said that Hilton Magic is dead. But after tonight, it’s definitely on life support.

The $10 million will make going out like this more tolerable. If he’s a lottery pick, he isn’t coming back. Nor should he.

But we had tailgated for 3 hours before those football games so we were NUMB and it didn’t seem that bad
