Hey.... we threw it deep... now that the game is LONG over!

hate to be that guy, but we've been throwing it deep all game.

 

[isuno1fan]

Winning the 4th quarter 9-0 boyz!

 

[AllInForISU]

Agree... you HAVE to protect your players' health... ESPECIALLY in a game that isn't even in question anymore.

And watch.. after the game CMC is going to brag about how tough Rocco is. Total BS! I don't care if CMC leaves and goes somewhere else. Good bye!!

You take hard hits in football, you want every person who ever takes a hard hit during the game to stay out?

 

[Taz4President]

Didn’t have throwing it off our own guy on my bingo card. Seriously is this going to move us out of the top. 25 of we get beat by 40?

Does it matter?

 

[Remo Gaggi]

Chuck Bruce on the sidelines. Should have put him in a uniform today.

 

[jdoggivjc]

Good for Rocco.

as much as I'm happy for him, it's flat out insane he was put back in the game. him being out there for the last 9 minutes isn't going to win the game - not based on what he did the previous 30 (obviously not including the 1Q in this).

 

[Cloned4Life]

What should ISU do for football coaches? It's a legit question. Criticize all you want, but what would you do to make it better?

With criticism should come alternative solutions.

Personally they need to hit portal harder and I mean it can be from FCS level to get more depth

Since when…

 

[Alswelk]

You think after making my current self sit through this game I have it in me to give a **** about my future self?

**** that guy. He’s a Cyclone fan. He expects masochism.

This guy Cyclones

 

[Prone2Clone]

I can has 20 points just so it doesn’t look as horrific?

I cannot has.

 

[simply1]

What’s the record for onsides kicks recovered?

 

[fsanford]

Does it matter?

Right who cares. If Clemson wins I do think ASU gets a bye

 

[ISUTex]

I would be hilarious if we make a comeback and lose by 5 points.

 

[fsanford]

Since when…

Since always. Otherwise you are some crying shill

 

[Klubber]

I respect Campbell, and he's gotten ISU farther than anyone else (relatively), but the sun sets for every coach. Sometimes the X's and O's or culture of players moves past you.

It's not like there's a huge line of *better* coaches wanting to take his place, though. He's won enough now that he'll have to have multiple successive bad seasons in a row to be gone. That or if Pollard ever leaves.

So a 10 win season is the "sun setting" for a coach. Got it.

 

[BadBoi]

You don't continue to play balls to wall in the conference championship game down by 30. Kinda Bush league.

 

[Die4Cy]

The defense has been melting down the whole game.

Looking back it seems so obvious that Iowa State's primary defensive scheme was the wrong one for a team like ASU, that features a dominant tailback and effective dual threat quarterback. It simply isn't possible to change your bread and butter scheme for one game, especially when you had been good enough this season to get by against similar, albeit less talented teams. But make no mistake, Heacock did not prepare this team well enough for what they faced today.

 

[Clonefan94]

The difference is their defensive line is smoking our Oline.

Some things never change.

 

[CycloneErik]

What’s the record for onsides kicks recovered?

Has to be Rhoads related. We did that all the time in his earlier years.

 

[Lineup]

down 35 points and you kick a field goal WTF

 

[3TrueFans]

We’re all glad you’re enjoying this performance

I’m a big picture guy, not a cry after every loss guy.
