Cyclones a contender in 2024
- Thread starter Cyintex
- Start date
I hope so, but I am expecting another 7-6 season. Anytime Matt has had expectations he hasn't delivered. I hope he changes that narrative this year, but until that happens I will take the under in high expectation seasons.
I never have expectations. I have a few hopes. My feelings are we go 8 -4. Win a bowl game to get to 9 wins.i
6 wins is expected. 7 is a plus. Anything over that drives up beer sales. Anything under six drives up beer sales.
What a bunch of Debbie downers in this thread. Yes, CMC’s teams have drastically underachieved, however, ISU now has the equivalent to a B1G west schedule. Wouldn’t shock me if we win 9 regular season games, 10 if we can beat UI
I just want to have our 10th regular season win to come against Kansas State.
I still get a sick feeling in my gut when I think of the lost opportunities from last season. The complete lack of focus/preparation in September and the bowl game still anger me.
That’s the story of every season
Last year’s team drastically exceeded expectations given the record of the previous year’s team and all the key losses to gambling. We had to be one of the youngest teams in the nation. Yes, the bowl was disappointing, but the development of that team throughout the season was quite remarkable. I agree we have a legit shot at 9 or 10 wins this year. I think a lot of that youth really grows up.
The fact we can even have this discussion routinely shouldn't be overlooked. We’re 8 years removed from the doldrums.
Good lord, Campbell had like 2 disappointing seasons, and 1 of those would be considered "good" in a historical context. WTF is up with the attitude in this thread?
Our season record will largely depend on our place kicking. Success, or lack thereof, will sway our record plus or minus two games from say a reasonable expectation of 7 and 5.
The offense and defense will both basically meet our expectations; that leaves place kicking (a special teams component} as the real wild card to our final record. Nothing new there. It pretty much is that way every season.

I don't agree with that!
People who have written off this season already really haven't looked at the schedule at all. Our 3 toughest games are road games at Iowa, Utah, and Kansas (assuming KU is still as good as they were last year). With this schedule I would be disappointed if we didn't win at least 7 games - and the reason why we're being picked as a sleeper for the CFP is because with a schedule this weak we have a very good chance of finding ourselves in Dallas for an extra game. Not saying it will happen, but the path is there.
1st ISU football season?
They'll be decent/averageish whether it's a successful September or not.
Yea, the ******* Rotters are out early this year. ******* idiots. HCMC is the best coach ISU has had.
