That seems a bit extreme. And simply saying "7-2" ignores the "how you got there" part of the equation. I'm sure two straight losses, one a home loss to an inferior opponent and the other a blowout, took the wind out of a lot of peoples' sails.

In terms of tickets sold, just eyeballing the Ticketmaster site there might be a thousand(?) tickets that haven't been sold? So it doesn't appear to be all that far off from a sellout.

But in terms of actual butts in seats, there a lot of resale tickets available for a small fraction of the cost they were fetching for Texas Tech. Maybe the weather will help entice a decent last-minute walkup crowd.

To me that sounds very much like a fair weather fanbase haha

Guess you read over the part where I pointed out that in terms of actual tickets sold it does appear fairly close to a sellout. It's also worth remembering that UCF and Texas Tech didn't sell out until days before those games, and that was back when we were a top 10 team. We're no more or less a fairweather fan base than we were two weeks ago.

it’s going to be very disappointing if this team comes out flat and unprepared for the 4th game in a row. They looked completely disinterested in the first half of last weeks game so it’ll be interesting to see what happens tonight. Its weird that Iowa State is 7-2 and I’m not really excited about the game.

It was a joke. Go clones.

Thanks Rulzzz Go Cyclones

I find this over/under line at 53.5 pretty interesting, I think the defense finds it grove again and offense does enough. 27-14 Clones

Unfortunately, offensive play calling and execution are suspect still and not enough to overcome the massive amount of injuries on defense.

Whole lotta tix for sale on the site for this one.

 

[Lineup]

hope the offense coordinator gets his head out of his ass and calls a decent game

 

[JM4CY]

I’m not sure Colorado is going to lose again. KU is the only one who might and I’m afraid they shot their wad on us.

 

[67CY]

I think we can put our game in the must win category. Hopefully Cyclones come out more prepared and more focused than the other team for a change and keep it that way for the entire game

 

[ExCyment]

34-20 clones. Sama with 2 scores

My sentiment is the opposite of early in the year. I'm all aboard with feed Sama the rock.

Last week they came out exactly how many wanted them to with a good start on defense and quick score.

There's more to it and I don't think the abilities of the opponents are getting credit.

Cincy has a good QB (mobile also) and two very good RB's, and the way KU manhandled ISU's defense I have a bad feeling about this one Cincy 38 ISU 24, please prove me wrong Cyclones.

I thought he wasn't supposed to be mobile.

Of course that would mean he's mobile tonight so nothing to really hang the hat on.
