It Didn't Look Like Happy Horsecrap to me

Actually, he started spewing his hate over a week before the season started...calling for D-Mac's head prior to ISU getting just one snap in.
I'll bet he had issue with how ISU took the field and was screaming "FIRE MAC!" as the players took the field.:Bomb:
His name is now penciled into my "little black book" of those most deserving of the white glove slap across the cheek. Right next to every hawkeye fan that I know. (143)

"We went to the Houston bowl because Mac can't manage to coach his way out of a wet paper sack when the game goes to over-time. "
Given your previous post I would think you would be giving Mac Credit today?

He only did such after I kindly reminded him of the OT win last night. And it still was a small amount of credit directed to our head coach.
I saw a lot of guys that need to learn their postions better and a very conservative defensive strategy that allowed their QB to get in a comfortable rythm. I also saw some very athletic players on D who, when they have game experience, could be pretty good.
And that's why getting an early test as we did last night...was good. As much as we the fans didn't like it...there's no way that hurts our team one bit.
They just need to get back to working on pressuring the QB and pass coverages. The run defense was great...although we need to find out if that was a product of our defense or the efficiency of Toledo's passing attack and them not running the ball much.
Seriously come up with something more original than the crap that everyone makes on assumptions. Do you honestly think Mac says "okay boys we got a lead, let's shut her down and just start running between the two guards and center only?" If you do, you have little to no football knowledge and just believe all the other posters who spew the crap. On the drive you are talking about Stevie had one run, a missed pass was thrown and Bret did one QB draw. So are you saying the 70 yards and 3 touchdowns was a shutdown offense? If so, it sounds like a good plan to me.
I am not going off others posts. No, I don't believe he says "shut it down." I believe he is so scared of a potentail mishap that he plays to safe. The plays that get us the points that are run in the first half aren't the ones ran in the 4th quarter. The score board shows it bu only 3 points in the 4th compared to the rest of the quarters. For instance:
Iowa State at 10:03 4th quarterTOLISU1st and 10 at TOL 45Stevie Hicks rush for a loss of 1 yard to the Toled 46.15232nd and 11 at TOL 46Bret Meyer rush for 2 yards to the Toled 44. 3rd and 9 at TOL 44Bret Meyer pass complete to RJ Sumrall for 18 yards to the Toled 26 for a 1ST down. 1st and 10 at TOL 26Stevie Hicks rush for 2 yards to the Toled 24. 2nd and 8 at TOL 24Bret Meyer rush for no gain to the Toled 24. 3rd and 8 at TOL 24Bret Meyer rush for 3 yards to the Toled 21. 4th and 5 at TOL 21Austin Flynn pass incomplete to Ben Barkema. (bobbled FG try)
