I think too many of us have been trying to will this team to a special, special season. Clearly it doesn’t look like that will happen so maybe that takes the pressure off of everyone…players, coaches, and fans…and things can get back to being more fun.
Because I agree, that sucked to watch even though we had several chances to win.

Getting older you realize after years of getting bent out of shape ….that in the long run it’s just not worth the pain and heartache worrying about what you can’t control. There are many more important things in life and many more meaningful things in life. The importance of sports melts away a little bit…… i’ve always found the more goals and purpose driven activities you have the less these things affect you. That and weed……weed helps.
I used to be where you are. You just gotta keep reminding yourself of exactly what you just said. If you didn’t care, you wouldn’t be a fan. But you have to only let it bother you so much.
True. But we were a legit Top 7 team with all kinds of national love, picking us to win the Big 12, picking us to go to the Playoff. This hype wasn’t created on Cyclone Fanatic.
As a longtime ISU fan I’ve learned to compartmentalize. The only loss that still bothers me is Iowa.

I used to be a lot worse than I am now. Losing to the ******* hoks can put me into a week long depression still though.
My expectations were not appropriate.
I hope Nebraska loses to Michigan State in Heart-wrenching fashion.
Last year was a covid fluke. We probably wouldn't have even been in the Fiesta Bowl last year if we would have played in Iowa City.
What you're describing is a TOE fan. Be better than them.
Iowa State is clearly better as the hunter than the hunted under Campbell.
Start taking the money line on the other guys. At least you get paid.
I can't tell you how, but yes, you have to brush it off. If you died today, the players wouldn't shed a tear. Don't ruin your day or weekend because they sucked it up.

Spoken like a man that didn’t readjust expectations after the UNI game.
It’s just a game. Nothing more, nothing less. Be disappointed, sad, mad, frustrated. But move on and be thankful we are living through the best football this school has ever seen.
It does kinda suck that “the best football” this school has ever seen is worse than Kansas’ best football it’s ever seen.
I’m most upset at our punter. We used to be Punter U. Now we got some Aussie who blows ass
