Asking again: Has the rot started to set in?

[State2015]

We haven’t played anyone good enough to do that. You better believe the OU teams with Jason White would slap our ass.

I hate to tell you this my brother, but OU and ISU are in completely different galaxies when it comes to fan support, facilities, and history. We are trending up in all 3 but still miles away from that.

We have a chance to be top tier in the B12 in all of these aspects, but doing nothing and complaining won’t get us there

McCarney was a win away in the last game of two consecutive seasons from a spot in the Big XII title game.

Having a reliable kicker would have been nice those years.

I was responding to someone saying we’re too good to get blowout by anyone in the country. Not true.

Whispers: it wasn't just Oklahoma

Those Danny Mac teams got HOUSED by almost every ranked team they played. That isn't happening under CMC outside of what, that TCU game a few years back? You aren't making the point you think you are.

And that Kansas State team with Darren Sproles. Wouldn’t want to face anything like that right now. Or probably half of those Big 12 teams in the early 2000s

Well we were losing 38-13 against a 2-7 KU team just not that long ago until they took their foot off the gas. Probably best we aren’t playing ranked teams this year.

I like it better now. We have a Brock Purdy. And a Breece Hall. David Montgomery. Will McDonald. Charlie Kolar. And more. Talent finally comes to Ames.

Is that the same team that just defeated previously undefeated BYU? At BYU.

Holy cow, that is a ton of talent right there. Someone tried telling me a bunch of those guys played together and went 7-6. Didn’t believe it.

 

[Dgilbertson]

Best ever seems a little dubious, but so does calling this season poor football.

By historical standards, and even Campbell era standards, this is still a pretty good Cyclone team.

They’ve got at least 3 games left.

I wonder what we’d find if we went back to some of those 2017 game threads like WVU or KSU?

I will say in terms of best ever, I’d be really curious what other teams would look like with the hot we’ve taken on injuries.

Year 2 Campbell team likely doesn’t have the depth and other eras likely wouldn’t as well.

Yeah, the one that handled us. That KU team.

They finished as regular season champs but lost a close game to Oklahoma in the CCG. Fiesta Bowl Champs over Oregon.

 

[Dgilbertson]

400K payroll and expectations of 10-2 or better.

When Steve Jobs did it he was called a genius. FIGURE IT OUT!

There was something strange about that year

Once again, that's not a thing.

In your opinion: what can we do as fans to help this program get to a place where no one in the country can blow us out? Complain on the Internet? Financially support the program? Curious about your thoughts

 

[CyDude16]

Let's not act like we have any ******* idea what Rocco actually meant by that comment. First, you are depending a lot on actually being able to read lips and/or have seen the entire part of what he said. Or he could have been mad at the line for not blocking correctly or someone for being out of position or just the fact that it didn't work. And he could have been pissed at the play call. Or maybe he was just frustrated.

To damn the entire coaching staff based on that one stupid thing is ******* moronic.

It’s clonedude so it’s not remotely shocking.

 

[Stormin]

Once again, that's not a thing.

Technically the CCG is classified as being between the best team and second best team according to conference record.

So we would be the best team in the conference season. Can’t call them regular season champs though cause it pisses you rotters off.

 

[CyDude16]

I have 7 kids. They are more important than paying for a football team. Don’t call people cheap when you have no clue about their financial situation

No one told you to have 7 kids though.
