    We're a Basketball and Wrestling School now

    With Campbell leaving this late in the cycle, I think we have to accept the fact that we are going to be the worst football team in the power conferences for the next 2-3 years. Honestly, from a strategic POV, unless we can get Harry Stine on board, we should just allocate the minimum of the $20...

    Worst team since 2016

    This is easily the worst football team I’ve seen since 2016. Not a single NFL player on either side of the ball. Awful execution and focus in all three phases of the game. Strangely the best unit on the team this year is the O line. Clanton you’ve done a good job. Mouser should not have an OC...

    Arizona Postgame Thread

    Absolutely dominant performance. We kicked their ass from start to finish. Patton, Williams, and Neal definitely are the defensive MVPs. Sowell and honestly the offensive line are the MVPs on the offense. Rocco had a great game as well except for that last interception. S&C needs to be...

    Which Position Group needs to "prove it" this season?

    Honestly I think we're gonna have a great team. However, I am most concerned (strangely, given we just put two of the best receivers in school history into the NFL) about the pass rush, as well as replacing Verdon and Freyler. Offensive Line i think will be a solid unit and I think they were...

    Worst Loss in any sport in School History

    What the **** happened. This is unacceptable. TJ just got lucky so far in his tenure. Has beaten absolutely nobody and lost to a bunch of borderline D2 squads this year. What a disgrace. Team is way worse than last year. Onto football season

    Cincinnati Game Recap

    A good game, glad we're back in the wins column. My thoughts below. Offense: Generally had the same problems we've seen all year. Structurally I think we have to accept that's not likely to change the rest of the year. However, I think Rocco had his best game of the season. Just a gritty...

    Fall Camp Injuries

    Anyone have any idea what happened in the fall camp that led to so many injuries? I know Blum mentioned on the pod maybe week 1 or the preseason that they had a more intense fall camp than usual to ensure we’d be off to a fast start this year. (Which given how god awful Campbell teams are in...

    Expectations

    This tweet (and reply below) on expectations is spot on for me and people my age (Class of 2020). I don’t agree with the tweet on not showing up for the team but this explains why some people on this board are more angry than others…

    Memphis hotels

    Hey I’m just trying to get a head start on liberty bowl plans to watch our Cyclones later this year. Anyone know the best hotels in Memphis for the best Liberty Bowl experience?

    This team hasn’t played it’s best football

    This team has not played its best football in my opinion. I think both the offense and defense have not hit their highest gear at the same time. If they can happen who knows who we can beat. Bottom line on the defense I think is that we could really use some consistency in the LBs. 1 guy gets...

    Injuries on Defense

    Any update on the injuries, specifically to porter and Brazina? We really need them back next week, that West Virginia team is solid.

    Houston Game Recap from someone who was at the game:

    Just wanted to post my thoughts on the Houston game. I truly believe this is a game the Iowa State of the past lays an egg in. I was at the game so I saw some things that maybe weren't available to see on TV. Here are my thoughts, focused on the offensive performance with some short comments on...

    What are the benefits of Cyclone Fanatic premium?

    Hey sorry if this is the wrong place to ask. But listening to CW and Blum in the most recent podcast talk about a packaged WeWill/CF Premium subscription and am considering doing that. But I would like to know what I’m getting for my money. Any info?

    Caleb Bacon Shoutout

    I had not heard of this guy before the beginning of the season. I looked him up for his recruiting profile and couldn’t find it anywhere! I’m assuming he must be a walk-on who made it on to the team. In my opinion he’s been our best LB and a critical piece of the defense, just wanted to shout...

    Copium Time

    Alright everyone, time to stop shitting on Campbell and coaching staff. I agree it was a bad loss but those can happen. Campbell isn't getting the boot this year even if we lose out so no point in talking about it on this super influential message board. It's copium time now. First, we need to...

    Ohio Predictions

    Well it’s the day before game day less than 24 hours to go and no thread on this game. I’m not overlooking it unlike the rest of you. A loss here would pretty much be a season-killer. Win conditions for this game are no different than the rest of the season: defense is stifling. Rocco throws...

    Rocco Becht

    He better get the starting job going forward. His progressions were great, has excellent touch on the short throws (biggest skill needed to succeed in a Campbell offense) and the missed long balls to Noel were close and I believe he will be able to hit some of them moving forward. Even Purdy...

    "801 Day" explainer from a recent former student

    Was listening to CW and Blum talk about not knowing what '801 day' is, and specifically not knowing the origin of the name. 801 day occurs on the Saturday before classes begin. As far as I am aware, the name originates from the sorority ban on drinking for the entirety of the week leading up to...

    Sweet Caroline

    Get rid of it for basketball entirely. Not a good call to play it today at the end of an incredibly energetic game. Juicy Wiggle at the end of today’s game would have been so much better. It’s fine at the end of football wins but I really think the University needs to move forward with Juicy...
