    Hey Cyclone fans, Raider here (sorry for the long post)

    You clearly have no clue about our injury situation last year or our recruiting.

    Hey Cyclone fans, Raider here (sorry for the long post)

    This logic is exactly what I mean by casual fans, and by that logic I've stated multiple times I completely see why the casual ISU fan thinks they'll win big.

    Might want to check this one out. http://web1.ncaa.org/mfb/natlRank.jsp?year=2011&rpt=IA_teamrushdef&site=org&div=IA&dest=O No where to go but up.

    Hey Cyclone fans, Raider here (sorry for the long post)

    Based on simple numbers you could make the argument. In '09 we went to Austin with 1 DE on the roster. In '10 it was a mess and basically only had 3 guys to rotate. 2011 our starting DE missed the first 5 games and our other starting DE played with a hole in his lung. In 2012 we legitimately...

    Hey Cyclone fans, Raider here (sorry for the long post)

    You clearly haven't read what I've posted on this thread. There is literally no where to go but up for our defense, we finished dead last the previous season. We now have an experienced DC, not a 1st year guy. We started two true freshman at LB, we're now more experienced and brought in some...

    Tech fans know all about scratching and clawing for a minute amount of respect. Texas Tech is the most underrated programs in Big 12 history. Preseason Picks Evaluated | Pistols Firing (ISU is 3rd) I've said on this thread multiple times that ISU just whipped us last year. They just took us...

    Hey Cyclone fans, Raider here (sorry for the long post)

    We had to start 2 true freshmen at LB (thanks Leach recruiting) 3 walk-ons in the secondary and a WR at CB (due to injury). We had almost the worst statistical defense in the country. There is literally no way to get worse, that's part of the reason every Tech fan is optimistic about the...

    I'm going off of this Phil Steele Is he really far off on Iowa State's returning starters?

    Hey Cyclone fans, Raider here (sorry for the long post)

    I've already said that ISU just whipped us last year and if I was a casual Iowa State fan I would expect the same thing in Ames this year. The thing that's tough about Rhoads teams is that they play hard and don't make mistakes. They force you to drive the length of the field without giving up...

    Hey Cyclone fans, Raider here (sorry for the long post)

    Not really, we were devastated with injuries going into Norman, and then we lost our starting Center on the first offensive series. Doege just played out of his mind even though he was getting bad snaps all night. It definitely helped that OU lost a starter CB the week before.

    Hey Cyclone fans, Raider here (sorry for the long post)

    You act like we're going to be starting 22 true freshman. Tech has the most returning starters in the conference, we'll only play 5-6 freshman, every other player has seen defenses at minimum equal to Iowa State. No offense, but UT and OU have excellent talent and play very physical, 90%+ of...

    Hey Cyclone fans, Raider here (sorry for the long post)

    Like I said, I don't really care if you believe me or not, all I can do is give you the facts and let you form your opinion. Yahoo sports seems to think they're a top 10 WR corp in the nation, a bunch of different scouting professionals have rated the majority of them 4*, our own coaching staff...

    Hey Cyclone fans, Raider here (sorry for the long post)

    Actually, Tech's defense gave up 1 70 yard drive and score. Adjusted to a new look they had never showed on film and shut them down the rest of the game. The other 7 points came from a kick-off return. I honestly don't care if ya'll admit we're obviously better or not. I'm just giving you...

    Hey Cyclone fans, Raider here (sorry for the long post)

    I actually heard an interview with Tech's offensive coordinator today. He talked about how he wants to see CB's and Safeties on the ground when they review film. He doesn't want the WR's to just block their man, he wants them to put the CB on the ground. He wants the opposing team to view the...

    Hey Cyclone fans, Raider here (sorry for the long post)

    Yeah, our defensive coordinator last year was a disaster and was fired. In all honesty he should have been fired after the UT game. It was painfully obvious he couldn't make half-time adjustments and didn't really know how to teach. In his defense though, our defense was a walking trauma...

    Could end up looking delusional, could end up underselling. At this point no one knows enough to call someone delusional for an event or series of events that haven't happened.

    Hey Cyclone fans, Raider here (sorry for the long post)

    Why are Tech fans delusional? I haven't seen a single thing a Tech fan has said on this board that has been proven wrong. Tech fans thought they would be better this year, and up to this point we've been spot on based on similar opponents up to this point last year. Now if we go up to Ames...

    Hey Cyclone fans, Raider here (sorry for the long post)

    Our secondary has really not been tested at all, but we've done really good at shutting down the zone read and option so far. Sure the competition has been bad, but I like the fundamentals and technique we've shown. DE's are staying at home and we're filling the gaps much better than last season.

    Hey Cyclone fans, Raider here (sorry for the long post)

    How is the ISU defensive line looking? Sacks, TFL's, run stuffing?
