Exactly. We should never again look as inept as we did early last year. Inept is sugar coating it too.

I expect us to be at least 3-1 after the first four games - nothing less - with a decent shot at 4-0.

I like this a lot...If we finish anything under 3-1 through non-conference that is no bueno.

IMO, the game that will tell us the most about the state of the program and the direction things are going will be the UNLV game (whether we beat Iowa or not).

The last few years, it seems like we don't play well in road games we should win. See Army (very, very close to being a loss - one lucky facemask call away) and Toledo.

IMO, if we come out and crack UNLV across the face, that will be very encouraging and a sign that we are a well-coached, mature football team, even if we are young.

This is EXACTLY right.
 
Man it is happening to me too. I just watched a couple videos on youtube and I am pumped...

I can't wait for the new commercials to come out too...those always help get me ready for football at Jack Trice in the fall.

I'm definitely excited for those things, but my excitement for the '06 season was at an all-time high. I really felt that was our year to do something special. HA! I so felt like Charlie Brown as Lucy pulled the ball out from in front of him.

I think if we can do some good things this year, my excitement for '09 would easily surpass that.

I felt this way as well....I really under-estimated the task coach was handed.
 
As far as the National Championship being a popularity contest, I think, for whatever reason, we'd become the friggin darling of the nation, like Rutgers was. I think people nationally would pull for ISU against teams like Texas, Oklahoma, Nebraska, what have you.

For that first half of 2002, we were pretty damn popular nationally, and we got up to #9 in a damn hurry.

I am going to be psyched for that game too. I wish we were playing somebody better then a 2-A high school team though. Bad scheduling on our part.

I think you are right. People are sick of the same old teams playing and "pretenders" getting to play in the national title game. I actually would prefer the old bowl system to the BCS. At least then you knew it was a popularity contest, and there wasn't a sham system.

Iowa State would be the Cinderellas of all Cinderellas if we ever pulled it off, and the nation would love us for it.

Think: Appalachian State x 1,000,000. (Team America reference)

I have seen multiple polls before in the past about "who would you like to see win the Big12?" (the catch was you couldn't vote for your favorite team.) Iowa State won by a large margin in them, and thats just in our conference. Our advantage is not many fan bases despise us (maybe Iowa.):smile:
