1) How many second halves did ISU win last year? LOL

2) Not like the standards are very high. Only takes a winning percentage in conference play of 40% apparently?

When people look at coaches careers the first thing they do is judge their winning percentage in conference play. Am I doing this right?

1) How many second halves did ISU win last year? LOL Had a few third quarters even, but not enough fourths. Takes time. The worst kinds of fans are the impatient ones. Quite literally 3/4ths the way there in, like, 5 games.

2) Not like the standards are very high. Only takes a winning percentage in conference play of 40% apparently? Being the winningest coach and program history, doubling average attendance to games and winning 4 out of every 5 home games over his career are all low standards as well. None of this is important.

First part was a joke about ISU fans being happy they won the second half of a football game a few years ago. I do agree that ISU fans need to be patient with Campbell as it is harder to turn around a football program than other athletic programs.

So Orr basically won 1 out of every five road games over his career? Ouch if so.

Did that one kid take the money or is he pulling a Desmond King and returning?

King went from being a 2 star recruit to winning a national award and being an NFL draft pick. Iowa sure does know how to develop players.

isu should try this.

Vs Clone athlete who don't even have the option of signing a pro contract as a Sr, let alone getting a chance as a Jr.

Who is the last Clone in any sport that would have been drafted as a Jr?

I take it Robert Gallery and Brandon Scherff are selectively removed from your accepted reality correct? They both could have left early and didn't and then became national award winners and first round draft picks.

Iowa sure does know how to develop players.

isu should try this sometime.

Sounds like a smart move. Too bad Desmond didn't receive the same advice

Since you want to talk football in a baseball thread, how many NFL drafts do you have to go back to get the last 4 ISU football players drafted? Iowa just had 4 baseball players picked in one draft.

Man, the ISU football program is pathetic.

How many players get picked in the MLB draft compared to the NFL?

Keep ignoring Gallery and Scherff. Someday isu should develop players so they can be first round draft picks and national award winners.

I am betting if they ever do Cy Twins will post 34,000 times about it.

Did CMC have a recruit that is such an awesome athlete that they were drafted by a MLB team? KF must really know how to evaluate talent in addition to developing it.

CMC should try it.

Thats why I said you can go back through multiple NFL drafts to get to 4 ISU players drafted.

40 rounds in the MLB draft and 7 in football.
