Must win next week?

There wouldn't be much that is as embarrassing as being dogs to Toledo in year 6 of a program.

114th... I'm thinking it will be a shootout if our offense shows up.

If the Toledo game is a shootout, we lose.

ISU will be up by 17 in the 4th next week and win by 10.

If we lost to Toledo, the attendance drops off and the miniscule bowl hopes fall to 0, but I think Rhoads is still better than 50-50 to be here next season even if we finish 1-11.

Despite how bad this team has looked, there are still 4 games on the schedule that could reasonably be winnable right now.

Rhoads is toast if we only win 1 or 2. The buyout will be cheaper than empty seats. Price increases are already going to lose some season ticket holders. A lame duck coach will take a chunk out in addition.

How does a win over Toledo really change anything at this point? Is that really all it will take to make people believe again?

"Hey, I was pretty upset about ISU football this year, but that 10 pt win over Toledo really changed my mind!".

If that's all it takes to get people excited again, then I guess people don't expect a whole lot, do they?
