Lucky we have most of our recruits for the year. Last year recruiting dried up after the UNI game.

The first paragraphs in the article say it all. Week one and the fork has already been put in for the year.

I hope the writer of this article eats crow, but I have a feeling he may be right.

Haha yeah but we bleed this crap. To have a national site call your coach a lame duck is a little more damning.

Half the posters on this site are trolls, half (myself included) drink ISU kool-aid so I would expect that kind of reaction after game one of this years performance.

But to have a neutral party verify that you are correct, and this early means everyone else sees it too

Except it isn't a national person. It was written by Luke Meredith who is based in Iowa.

I won't trash talk the players - I respect them.

Some posters have commented that they aren't D1 worthy. If a D1 school offered you a full ride to play the game you love you'd take it. It's not their fault our system is broken. Let's not sit here behind our screens and blame the athletes representing us. How do you think it feels to have "one of the most loyal fan bases" in the country trash talk you during and after a game? I don't know if I could get up and move forge ahead so I respect them for doing that.

Good luck guys - keep your heads up!

I wasn't talking about you. Just this site in general. After the weekend of living real life I realized 90% of us were dicks about our players. Blame CPR all you want but I am going to stop criticizing the players.

An article similar to this was posted on cbs tonight. Now it is on espn.

I'm sorry I misunderstood you. I agree to a point, that the players are there because they were GIVEN a scholarship.

I'm not sure what use or interest an article like that has. Most people across the nation don't give a flying rats rear about ISU. I guess it's just fun to kick somebody while they are down.

I was watching some college football show on Monday that included Dan Hawkins. They were talking about surprises of the week. When they got to our game they said "OK this one didn't really surprise anyone". Pretty sad.

This article should make the "the media is being too nice to Rhoads" crowd feel better!

And this is what really sucks.

BTW, in the article SR says they need to respond more quickly than last year - did they respond last year?

So be careful in what you believe in
There's plenty to get you confused
And in this land called paradise
You must walk in many men's shoes
Bigotry and hatred are enemies to us all
Grace, mercy and forgiveness
Will help a man walk tall


GO CLONES!!!

Hawkins would know. He was such a surprise himself for Cu. Took that program into the toilet. Thanks Hawk (perfect handle).
