It's time we stop putting up with the disappointment

[chicagocyfan]

I love this team, coaches, and this university. But, as much as MC realizes his team needs to stop disappointing fans, we need to stop accepting and making excuses for disappointment after disappointment. I'm tired...tired of waiting for our time, tired of waiting to dominate anyone, tired of dreaming of having a smidgen of the success that Iowa has had. It's a dog eat dog world and I'm tired of always wearing milk bone cyclone underwear. Win games you should win! Be in games no matter what! I teach my children about the unforgiving world they must succeed in yet I stand with fans who continue to accept below average. No more. My family is out. My kids are choosing to go elsewhere for college because of the constant disappointment that I can no longer defend. My over decade of season tickets from over 5 hours away will end this season. I just no longer believe. And to those 'see ya later' fans...bite me! Enjoy your seat backs in that empty stadium in 3 years.

Hoping to be revived from this headache!

Your kids are choosing their education based on the football program?

 

[CyArob]

If your kids are choosing to go somewhere else for college, I hope it's not because of the football team. The things I learned at Iowa State reach far beyond the win or loss of a sporting event. You should be ashamed of yourself. I hope you're just drunk.

My kids will go to Alabama because football. Is that good grammar?

Me no care, football.

No ****, dealing with the football program makes you a man, look at all the whiny pussies in Iowa City. They break a nail it's goodnight sweetheart.

I'm glad your kids aren't going to Iowa State. They are too dumb for Iowa State if they make their college choice and one of the most important of their lives based on the success of a football team. Sad.

When was our football program really good? Never. And frankly, I believe it will be a ways to go until we achieve greatness. Frankly, I could see us putting up a donut in the win column this year. Seriously, I didn't think I would be saying this but I am afraid of San Jose State in a couple of weeks...

In the seventies.

We look like a big lethargic inept pile of mess. That is all.

 

[Cyclonepride]

Lol at this thread. Wow.

 

[cloneswereall]

We should drop football and bring back baseball.

Well it would have rhymed even better if you used "Bamer"

 

[Bryce7]

Hey, matt, let's go for it on 4 and 1.

Who among of us hasn't thought about being an alum of a school with both great academics and competent sport teams?

I have looked at a lot of colleges with lust. I have committed adultery in my heart several times.

I'm laughing that two games in with a brand new coaching staff, yet still the same empty cupboard, that NOW somebody is out, and "something must be done!" As if the GM can trade-away players to other teams for future draft picks.

We got a new coach, but far too late to help bring in talent for THIS year. But you cannot judge his future on two games with the prior coach's recruiting ineptitude after giving the prior coach 72 games and only 8 wins in the last half of that.

So if you're "done" and your kids are making their school choice because YOU "can no longer defend" losses, then this school is better for having lost. Because this school is an amazing school and it needs to continue to educate only those who are amazing. My daughter was accepted to ISU this week. Even the score of this game cannot put a damper on how excited we all are for her to be a Cyclone!

 

[Cloneman89]

Disappointment? Hell Yeah - but I still love the Clones. The coach may blow and the team may be inept but it is my team and my god awful coach - they are still Clones. So run and hide - real Clones stay and die by a thousand cuts.

IMO we did say we weren't going to take this anymore when we answered Pollard's call. If you aren't able to take the loses by now, you're either soft or really young. It's coming.

When this team disappoints me I just look at this picture to make me feel better
