Since always. Otherwise you are some crying shill

That’s exactly what I’m here for. To cheer and b*tch along with my fellow die hards. I ‘think’ that’s OK, right?

 

[joefrog]

If you think Cyclone Fanatic posters are bad enough to drive players and recruits away then you clearly have no idea what other fanbase’s forums (AND REAL LIFE BEHAVIOR) look like.

Every SEC and most Big10 fanbases and towns would eat them alive.

There is no good game, champ stuff.

Win or you suck, and are told, repeatedly, everywhere you go.

Frankly, I wouldn’t be shocked if even Brecht is considering a transfer. Imagine what he could do with an O-line and better play calling.

disagree. if ASU wants to make a case for a CFP bye they had to run up the score as much as possible. and as the saying goes, "it's the other team's job to stop them".

Kinda of agree. Not a good move by ASU sitting their offensive guys. Remember Ohio St. getting in over TCU / Baylor years ago.

******* embarrassing! Really glad I didn't waste my hard earned money to go down to Arlington and watch this ****!

Yeah outside of that awful hit on Rocco I have no issues on ASU taking advantage of what was in front of them.

They came out of half time ready to step on ISU's throat and are a good team in general.

Am I the only person that hates the teams in our conference more than any teams outside of our conference? (Iowa exception there)

I’m going to be rooting hard for ASI to get smoked in the playoff.

You are one of the few. Big 12 needs to do something in the playoffs

I coached collegiately 30 years in a really strong NCAA program in Ohio, and one thing I know for certain. Winning is learned. Matt Campbell learned how to win as a player and he has brought a winning attitude to ISU. What he and his staff has done is SO INCREDIBLY HARD. The ESPN article from yesterday hit the nail on the head, as the pain of the last couple of years shaped this team to work so hard to ensure success this season as we did something ISU football has never accomplished.

For all you ISU Eeyore fans, I feel sad for you, as you just don't get how hard it is to do what all the coaches do at ISU in all our programs. We got 10 wins this season. We may never see that again! I sure hope we do, but we all know how hard it is. This year's team learned how to win, and today our team is learning that while winning is hard, winning a Championship is a whole other level of hard and how to win.

While I was hoping we could take a big step forward today by winning our first Big XII championship, we took what looks like a big step backwards. As a former coach, I believe we still took a baby step forward today despite the score, as we needed to be in this moment to truly understand how hard it is to win a championship (Yes, I know we were there in 2020). Whether you believe it or not, today will hopefully pay benefits to our program someday down the road WHEN we get here again, as that future team will understand it takes even more to get 'the ship.'

Regardless, I am so proud of this team. I'm so proud to be a Cyclone. I wish all of us were. Remember, whether they make big bucks with NIL deals, get an okay NIL deal, or don't get an NIL deal at all, these are kids learning life skills on their way to adulthood while wearing ISU on their jersey. I am so proud, and I will wear my Cyclone gear all day today to celebrate the pride I have from my time in Ames and my affinity for all the awesome things ISU did for me and still means to me.

Go Clones and good luck in your bowl game!

TLDR

At least Kohl wouldn't have so many passes batted down at the line.

lol. Sure, who cares if any of his passes are on target, just as long as a couple aren’t batted down. Good grief.

Travis Hunter anytime pick 6 is free money in the bowl game

 

[cycloneevan]

We need edge in the portal badly or some world-class off season development. Our leading sack-getters this season were Singleton with 4 and Peterson and Snyder with 2 each. The first 2 are gone, and hopefully Snyder will stick around but who knows. We need a ****-wrecker up there like Will McDonald, Uwazurize, or Bailey to make the 3-3-5 viable moving forward.

 

[UNIGuy4Cy]

Is Abu a one hit wonder? This loss is 45% on him.

 

[Die4Cy]

It comes down to execution regardless of alignment. We didn't tackle well and our LB's were out of position lots as well. That's been an issue all season with all the injuries at LB.

True. There were times when players were in position and failed to make plays defensively. You need to be able to honestly scout yourselves though.

 

[deadeyededric]

ASU is having a dream year. Even without Tyson today, their QB and others have stepped up.

Dillingham is a rising star.

My ASU grad family members are just glad to be winning games again. I didn't think my uncle was ever going to get over leaving the PAC. Is ASU the best job in the Big 12? I'd say so. Weather, facilities, etc. They are claiming their seat at the table.

 

[dirtyninety]

I--seriously--think Kohl can win championships at some other school. I can't understand why you can't play two quarterbacks in regular rotation.

The only reason to watch that game is if you have money on it

 

[cyfanbr]

ASU fans must be pissed. Wining a title is supposed to be exciting, but they may just be bored at this point given the ass whooping that this game was. They know they won the title like an hour ago, but need to keep watching this boring ass game until the final whistle.

Well the next time you see an ISU player out in public make sure you go this route so you can feel like you've got a seat at the table.

 

[ISU1991]

Will probably be parents and family only at the bowl game after this beat down! No way CMC is getting hired at a big time program!

 

[Brookcyde]

Do you think the SEC is paying Joe Tessitore a bonus every time he says conference champions shouldn't be "double rewarded" by getting byes over more highly ranked teams? He's said it at least three times, including saying "everyone" thinks that it is a flaw that should be changed.
