I think this offense has the potential to be pretty darn good once Townsend and Sowell get acclimated more. Great win. You can’t complain about beating the preseason big12 favorite in the first game. This wasn’t your typical fcs 1st game.
Bricked.

We used to struggle with UNI and others out of the gate. We had a tough game but played a conference game against a ranked team and won.
Maybe we need conference games to get Campbell excited for first games?

I’m glad we had this game right away. Battle tested right away. Love it.
We consumed one Irish car bomb per quarter today. Feeling just great. Thank you, Aer Lingus and Rocco’s swingin’ sack of marbles.
That was a great hit by Patton on the 4th down play but Johnson didn't exactly go full bore on such a critical play. Maybe intimidated by Patton flying in but you gotta give up the bod on a play like that. Not saying Johnson is soft but give me Rocco everytime
Jesus Christ I hope you didn’t order that in Ireland. That’s like going to New York and ordering a 9/11.
Or maybe we just needed better players and depth on our team?
Boy I’ll bet that has caused some confusion. Imagine hearing a doctor tell you your mom is bricked up
I think Avery got his bell rung. On the subsequent replays, you can see his body kinda go limp.
Let’s just say it’s still a sore subject.
- The IRA used them frequently during its 1960s to 1990s campaign during the Troubles in Northern Ireland and England. The 1998 Omagh bombing by the Real IRA, an IRA splinter group, caused the most casualties in the Troubles from a single car bomb. Loyalistorganisations in Northern Ireland of the 1960s and 1970s such as the Ulster Volunteer Force(UVF) and Ulster Defence Association used car bombs against civilians in both Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. The 1974 UVF bombs in Dublin and Monaghan[54][55]caused the most casualties in a single day during the Troubles.
My college roommate would often ask me if I wanted to 'netflix and chill' not realizing it was a euphomism. Apparently he asked someone else and they had to explain it to him. Sure I could have explained it, but what fun is that.
I always felt those close opening games vs. UNI were due to MC not wanting to show anything before the Iowa Game and just being vanilla not being unprepared. Having to open in a meaningful game this year changed that dynamic. I also think it will help ISU be sharper vs. Iowa and help the team all year. Basically, opening against a tough team is better than opening against an FCS cupcake IMO. I suppose time will tell! Just my onion.
The only reason people talk about Avery Johnson so much is because he has long blonde curly hair. If he has a buzz cut, no one talks about him.
I don't mind ISU being in the category of "others with an opportunity" for a Big 12 title as opposed to being an overall favorite. When in that position previously it seemed like a lead weight on the team, and I think CMC's natural tendency is to like a little chip on the guy's shoulders. But I do think we will be right there at season's end, it just depends how the chips fall with the tiebreakers. I hate that part, but it is what it is, blame the B1G and tv networks for leading us here.
