Why do we keep setting up impossible schedules? Setting ourselves up to suck.
Feeling a little duped right now

Did you think this was the ten-second blurb at the end of He-Man where we learn what was the "teachable moment" from today's episode?
Shut the **** up, numbnuts.
Name calling is a good indication you have nothing else to offer.....
The Kansas State program laughs at our excuses and inability to build anything worthwhile.
...or maybe I am expecting too much for the 4K I give every year.

I'm the biggest homer when it comes to predictions, but it's one thing to predict a win and quite another to believe your own BS. Though there are some who do just that.
Actually, told my co-workers in August we would be lucky to get through pre-conference with one win and then would probably beat Kansas or WV. Not gloating and wish I would have been wrong.
I keep reading the term "rebuilding year" on this thread and others. I didn't realize 6 wins was "built." Cyclone nation might be the only fanbase in the nation that would call this a rebuilding year. Regression? Yes. Setback? Definitely. Rebuilding? God I hope not.
Do you want a participation ribbon too? You sound like a minivan driving, dad pants wearing *****.
Holy crap. I was in Chicago the first three days the prediction thread was open so I never saw it. I told my buddies there that I was expecting three wins from this team this year because we were so crazy young.
I just read the predictions thread and wish I could have some of the kool-aid you guys are on.

For all the members of the whiner club, a rebuilding year is one in which you replace a large number of starters.
They were all so omniscient and predicted a down year though brah. The level of hypocrisy on this board is so damn high.
I was there at meet the coaches night. If you didnt think there was cause for concern about the season after that night, you werent listening. Rhoads was already beginning 'managing expectations' spin about how young the team was. Was obvious Rhoads knew we could be in for a long year.
The thing that sucks though is even with those expectations lowered, the down-ness of the big 12 should have allowed us to have a halfway ok year. Beat UNI, Beat Tulsa, then find 4 wins in a very down big 12 (KU,WVU,TCU,and KSU, for instance), and we're in a bowl this year even with our relative youth.

I will not shut up. I have just as much right to my opinion as anyone else here.
But why are you concerned about my testicles???
:shocked:
According some on this board CPR was setting us up for a BCS bowl run. I don't see how anybody couldn't read between the lines when they heard him in the preseason. When a coach is telling you his team is young, but that he's excited about their talent and work ethic how can you not read what he's really trying to say? I also don't fault CPR for talking positively about his team. What's he supposed to do, come out and tell everyone they suck? That we'll be lucky to win 3 games? I'm sure CPR was truely excited about this team...any coach worth his salt should be positive about his players.
Again, you want to blast CPR for his first 2 recruiting classes? Fine, I can't stop you...but you'd still be wrong at worst and misguided at best. Had CPR had the luxury of redshirting some of that first class we'd be in a different boat today. You think a brand new head coach at a school like ISU coming off a 2 win season and potentially being kicked out of a major conference at the time is easy to recruit at? Please...
From the brilliance of your response, I'm guessing that you are an astrophysics major. Am I right?
