The is probably the worst game on the schedule. Of course there won't be high excitement.
Interesting. We don't think that way at all. The goal is to win conference championships and compete for an at large playoff berth.I thought that thread was full of (mostly) reasonable and clearheaded takes.
I have to respect somebody to be enough of a fan of Arkansas State to post there. It can't be easy being a fan of a G5 program that is never going to have the resources or prestige of an Iowa State.
Think how we think of schools like Ohio State and Georgia and multiply that by ten.
Hey everyone. Arkansas State fan here visiting before the game. Just here for friendly banter and to answer any questions you have (if you have any).We haven't looked good at all really. I would be pretty optimistic if I were them. That said, I think we cover
We were 5-0 and then Dwayne Crutchfield got injured. Things went downhill without him.Last I can find is 5-0 in 1980.
Ended up 6-5, no bowl.

Was he injured or it just got cold? I remember hearing stories (can’t remember if ISU or when he was at Waldorf) that he refused to practice if he thought it was cold outside.We were 5-0 and then Dwayne Crutchfield got injured. Things went downhill without him.

You guys will see when you come to Jonesboro next year. We have facilities on par with P5 and we're a proud bunch with a storied history.
My TL/DR version.Hey everyone. Arkansas State fan here visiting before the game. Just here for friendly banter and to answer any questions you have (if you have any).
We're optimistic to a fault, but mostly realistic about Saturday. Our offensive line will be together for the first time all year, and that includes 2 all conference selections. The run game should be better but I still expect ISU to keep it in check.
You'll probably be a little surprised at the athleticism at WR. Rucker and Jackson are both elite Wr that could play for just about anyone (Rucker just came back from South Carolina).
Malik Hornsby, the ex Arkansas QB, has crazy wheels and is getting more involved as a WR.
I expect we will be a little better than you think, but not as good as we hope.
The forecast/opponent combo will work hard against those efforts. I’ll be there though, rain or shine.I’ve seen a few public “hey, we need to get out for this team” posts from CW and even the football social media team. They don’t do that when sales are good.
That being said... what do you see are IOWA STATE's keys to victory?
So you think they'll try poisoning our team meal?less we forget 9/16/23...... just saying....

"Having hardened their nerves at the Big House, Kinnick Stadium should seem cozy by comparison."After reading this, it would appear they just referred to JTS as Kinnick. Ark State must be destroyed
This may be the most universally true thing ever said on a message board.I expect we will be a little better than you think, but not as good as we hope.
I was willing to be a good sport, but **** that noise after that stunt"Having hardened their nerves at the Big House, Kinnick Stadium should seem cozy by comparison."
Yeah, my friendliness wore off after that one. It's time to kick red puppies.
