Seriously, though.

All the credit to Drake's guys. Nobody expected the kind of battle they gave ISU today.

This game shows , this team was not ready for a BIG 12 Championship, we overachieved again this year.

We will get there, CMC is building something special.

Disagree - this game basically showed that most likely the players didn't take the game very seriously nor did they prepare very well for it. Also crappy conditions, but moreso just not caring/prepared. Drake on the other hand was the complete opposite and played a hell of a game.

This is exactly what happens when you don't take games seriously and/or prepare for them. That's how upsets happen all the time.

I think, and hope, it would cause a bunch of players to never take any game for granted, even when you're favored by so many points.

No words for that game. It certainly had all of the ingredients for a huge upset. Wish I had put some money on it.

But, a win is, has been, and always will be a win.

No argument there. Really sounds like the Cyclones haven't prepared themselves for this game. Weather is a factor, but for both teams. The guys weren't ready for this game.

Why would they be? They were hoping to be in the Big XII championship game. Even after that the starters thought they'd maybe play a quarter. With the field in terrible shape, rain, wind we just shouldn't be playing football in Ames in December.

Was said earlier by others - other than obviously 1 team did not want to be there & the other very much did, but the OL play was glaring in this game. Usually missed tackles are dissected but never have I seen so many complete whiffs on blocks. Ay caramba

I’m reporting to you live from the smoldering ruins of the Cyclone Fanatic website...

Not so. If the loss happens, start making Iowa trolls pay and it's a CF upgrade!

*Not that it needs an upgrade. GREAT website. The best. Believe me.
