I'll take it.

I was not making a point about close loses in the sense that they are a moral victory. The original article said it was not an easy place to win. What about close loses does not apply to this concept? I was only trying to point out that it really isn't a gimme win for anyone anymore. Which is something that has never been the case at least since I have been a Cyclone. (20 + years).

There's more challenge to it than there's been, but an opponent can still count on us finding a way to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. Until we can establish ourselves as a team that wins at home, opponents can be pretty confident that they're getting that win.

I do agree that they have to work for it more (most of the time) than in the past, so it's getting a little tougher to play here.

The Oklahoma State game and some other close games gave some a new respect for Jack Trice and our fanbase. Even with the poor record at home over the last two plus seasons, the crowd certainly has the ability to make a difference.

2 close losses to K-State, another close loss to TCU last year, robbed against Texas. Take those wins and now were 7-7. That's just off the top of my head. Not to mention we destroyed Okey State's dreams there. Enjoy the publicity.

Yeah, if you turn half of our losses into wins, we have a decent record! The Texas one was crap so I'll say 4-10.
This is exactly what Jon Miller was doing the week of the Cy-Hawk game. "Drew tate got injured, that game doesn't count." "This game was close, it could have easily been a win."

Read post above since you weren't the first to misunderstand the post...

I think ISU leads the country in "almost wins" for the last 15 years or so.

And apologies from the league.
