Crazy what a win does for my optimism...

[dahliaclone]

After the Louisiana loss I was 'certain' we'd start off 0-3. After today's win (and watching a great deal of OU vs KSU), I think we beat OU. They have some glaring issues just like we do.

Eh, let's not get too crazy around here.

If we can put pressure on Rattler......

They dont appear to have a Hollywood or Ceedee (yet)

Happy for the win. Still lots of questions.

We're going to have to play way better to beat OU. No mistakes.

When you are getting optimistic, just remember that duck that got intercepted. That should take care of it lol

 

[dahliaclone]

Hey hey hey...let me have my optimism for a day. By tomorrow I will have gone back to thinking OU will beat us soundly. Just give me today!

TCU was far more ready to play than I expected..

TCU has talent..

we still aren’t in total sync and offensively but having Kolar back helps a lot ..

kudos to our WRs for making some key catches

Much better today than two weeks ago. Next week, we should be even a little bit better. Purdy has got to get his mind right for us to win next week, though.

From what I’m seeing today. Lots of suspect defense in the league. I know Chris Williams LOVES to tout Texas every. Single. Year. I never buy it.

Things are never as bad as they seem.... or as good as they seem.

Happy for the win, but I think it was lucky that we got TCU for their first game. QB situation was still being figured out. Duggan was getting better towards the end of the game. I assume he'll start moving forward.

I spoke too soon RE: Texas. This game is nuts.

Big 12 wide open from the looks of it. No one seems like they are going to run away with it.

I couldn't watch and this seems to be a common theme again. Outside of whatever the lovely **** that was with the pitch 6, what were his trends today?

Very meh IMO. We found a way to win despite how Purdy played, let's put it that way.

ESPN's video of it was titled "the worst turnover you'll see"

Glad we played TCU today vs later in the season.

They play Texas next week and they’ve beat them 5 of the last 6.

This season is going to be wild. Teams are going to be more inconsistent thatn usual due to inconsistent practice schedules, players being held out of practices due to contact tracing protocols etc.. I know we had a large group of players that didn't practice much in the weeks leading up to the Louisiana game because of contact tracing rules. People assume players are practicing like normal and are only held out if they test positive. That apparently is not the case, at least at Iowa State. I can't speak for what other programs are doing, which is why games are going to be so unpredictable. Just because someone is available to play on Saturday does not mean they've been practicing all week like usual.
