- Thread starter Connor_Ferguson
- Start date
Amen. If I could adopt a ISU player? Jaylin Noel. His post game interviews reveal one sweet "kid."
I pray he succeeds on Sunday's.

What a great coach! Hope the "rot people" watch this 15 minutes.
What exactly is a "better job" that reporters and pundits talk about? Wouldn't you rather be where you want to be? CMC is smart, humble, successful. And then he lists so many great players of the past. Talk about building on a foundation. We are fortunate.
The four, fourth quarter game winning drives this season is kind of a crazy stat and a testament to the tenacity and leadership of this team. When people talk about the "Jimmys and Joes" most of the time they are referencing their physical talents, but this team is mentally tough in ways I don't think I've seen from other ISU teams.
Jaylin Noel as a captain: Players come in every day and look up to me. I had to play...
Everyone should find someone to love them the way that Coach loves to talk about leadership...
Two thoughts came to my mind after last night's win:
- Matt Campbell is now without a doubt the best coach in ISU's 133 year football history.
- This season's four last second game winning drives clearly illustrate how thin the margin is between having a great year and a not so great year.
Did anyone feel like we was partially talking to Higgins when he kept taking about the players out there?
Jaylin’s comment about possibly sitting out the bowl game says a lot about the him and the ISU FB culture: “that’s not what leaders do”.
When Jaylin said that, my immediate thought was it's gotta be hard for Higgins and Porter to hear that comment, and it's gotta be weird for them to be in that locker room right now. How do they feel standing next to Beau Freyler, who is the absolute epitome of 'team before me'?
There's no doubt we wouldn't even be playing in this bowl if it weren't for Higgins and Porter, but they put their own best interests above the team and they had zero part in last night's amazing victory.
On the other hand, we would have never had this incredible season without them and who can blame them for sitting the game out? It's the logical thing to do.
That's what makes this opting out issue so contentious.
I don't think coach or Jaylin were taking shots or are disappointed at Higgins or Porter.
Jaylin is a 4 year starter, that's a long time to dedicate yourself to a program, and you could tell what that last game meant to him in that post game.
Porter has been the ultimate team guy for 5 years, started at wr, moved to corner when coaches asked, did all the dirty work on special teams for years, and finally got his shot, and now has serious NFL prospects. Nobody should question his dedication to the team imo.
Higgins made a business decision and I have no problem with it. He gave us an outstanding 2 years
Noel has that Haliburton "twinkle."
Just that smile, charm, enthusiasm. Everything about him is awesome.
