Anyone Else Feel Like This Season Is Already A Letdown?

[Thomasrickj]

Expectations were huge. UNI was bad, but pulled it off and we had a chance to redeem ourselves against Iowa. Turnovers killed us. UNLV was a good win, but my mom could pass for 250 yards against them. Today was a complete bust and ended any hope us fans had of rebounding. Special teams might be the worst in 1-A. Purdy is bad this year. It took our defense 30 minutes to wake up. We choked in a game we should have won. 2-2 and this season and I don’t feel confident about being in the top half of the conference now after what I’ve seen. Either things change and we run the table, or we are just overrated and an average team. Does anyone else feel defeated after that game?

Baylor and Iowa aren't that good... it took a lot of things going wrong to earn those two losses... but pretty much we are looking at a going bowling season.... hopefully.

 

[Proton]

Yes

 

[ABECyguy]

Yes this season is absolutely a letdown. Returned almost the entire team and we look like we’re starting from square one. Plus the team just seems on edge like they’re not ready for the big moment.

 

[FallOf81]

Letdown?
That's like saying 120 in Phoenix is a dry heat.
So is CREMATION
This coaching staff and players let end of season and pre season hype blind them.

Is this a trick question?

This season is already a huge failure that honestly we have no excuse for. This was our chance to break through to the other side as a program and we f*cking blew it.

 

[aauummm]

No. Some people had too high of expectations.

 

[chuckd4735]

Less then 10 wins will be disappointing. That's inevitable.

 

[Darius Bieber]

It definitely already is. From Heisman hopefuls and Potential New Years 6 or even Football Playoff aspirations to being happy to be in the First Responder Bowl.

 

[CyState85]

I would say yes. Just one time in my life, I want ISU to do what they are supposed to do. This feels like 2005

 

[JBone84]

Absolutely

You said it perfectly.

Gonna be a 7-5 or 8-4 kinda year.

 

[jbhtexas]

It's about what I expected. Campbell has gone about as far as he can until he realizes that offense and special teams matter. That's how a hugely veteran team gets spanked by a second year team coming off two wins.

Yep. And this is solidifying the talk of having to go G5 after realignment. People thinking we’ll get Big10 invites because we have a good football program. Well, we don’t.

 

[Thomasrickj]

Gonna be a 7-5 or 8-4 kinda year.

Right now I don’t even feel confident in 7-5. With Purdy as our quarterback we can’t win anymore.

 

[awd4cy]

Yep, it’s gonna be the worst one yet when you factor the preseason rank

 

[ClonesTwenty1]

Absolutely is. It’s a fact

 

[Neptune78]

With everybody essentially back, I thought we'd be 4-0 at this point. They're just not in sync. Yet.

 

[Trice]

Absolutely. Zero doubt. Maybe a Big 12 championship changes that. But at this point I'm not even sure that does. (And certainly we haven't played anywhere near that level.)
