Honestly. If Flora doesn’t return the punt for the winning TD in the fourth quarter comeback versus TCU, then we finish 7-5. 2-5 finish. No 3 game win streak. IMO Penn State does not offer Campbell.

Brahmer transferring, no way one oc brahmer or burkle doesn’t follow CMC to Penn State
What CMC did is show what Iowa State can be capable of doing. He proved that it’s not impossible to have sustained success. So that’s the new place to start from.
CMC was competitive in the vast majority of his games. That, alone was incredible.

And let's not forget that beyond himself and his staff, he had something to sell. Great facilities, great community and a highly engaged, rabid fan base. Those things aren't everything, but they're definitely something when you have a good coaching staff.
For the first time in my ISU fandom, I genuinely felt in the past 6-7 years (maybe longer) that ISU could win any game on the schedule.
Imagine saying that 20 years ago.
Just hoping to continue being able to feel that way.

I'm pretty confident Rogers will keep ISU competitive.
Campbell also didnt have CyTown in his back pocket, for whatever kind of recruiting sell that might be in a couple years
I think this is true as well, but our surge in popularity among local casual fans and national media is very tied to the cult of Campbell. If we don't come out swinging next year, I fear that bandwagon will unload quickly. It's definitely a time where anxiety about our future is warranted. We can't survive a Rhoads performance from Rogers. I think he's better than that though.
Not really a recruiting sell imo unless you're talking about recruiting the casual fan
Better than the standard bubble screen to a guy named Jarvis every time
One of the Cytown suites will be hookers for the incoming signed recruits.
Also, a bit of a "wow" factor that, while not directly, gives a lift to the vibe and facilities.
And I have a feeling that Notre dame playing 5 games against the ACC has helped their numbers.
Agree. The Miami game and TA&M game this year surely helped. Same with USC each year.
