[ISUCY23]

did he have then to being with?

Umm if you watched his teams previous to this year, then you would know that yes, yes he did.

Hard to swallow the letter from Pollard saying I need to donate more and my tickets are going up when the product on the field doesn't match the increases. Don't get me wrong I'll still cheer for my Clones til I die but this is getting really old fast.

 

[Cytation]

If he'd have taken it back we'd have gotten just what we deserved. Our coaches should be ashamed.

 

[Fitzy]

If we lose to Toledo I'll be officially on the fire Rhoads bandwagon

 

[Chipper]

You have to wonder at what point the only person standing with Rhoads is the kid carrying the headset

 

[awd4cy]

Toledo is must win for Rhoads.

I agree. Had we not offered him that ridiculous contract, I think he should be fired on the spot with that loss at home mid season.

 

[CyFan3]

Could be, but you are minimizing just how ****ed we are on offense. Sam would look a hell of a lot better playing at OK St with their 3rd team. Every position group is greatly contributing to this **** show. It was obvious very early on under CPR that the death of his tenure would be due to how clueless he was in his plan on offense.

Could very well be but its just frustrating beyond belief every week when we do have open guys he just can't connect with them.

Is it bad if I kind of hope we lose

 

[cyatheart]

What is frustrating is that it isn't a matter of whether or not we CAN compete, it's that we simply don't. The opportunities are there offensively, but we choose to **** the bed.

It's either an errant throw to an open receiver, or an accurate throw that is dropped. Late in the game our D forgets how to tackle.

We can't run the ******* ball for our lives and when down 24 late we do what the other teams wants us to do: Keep the clock going by using our absolutely ineffective running game. That tells me Mangino doesn't even think Sam can get it done.

I think it's pretty clear Mangino is bringing a knife to a gun fight, he knows our Qbs have major limitations.

 

[Cychedelia]

I agree. Had we not offered him that ridiculous contract, I think he should be fired on the spot with that loss at home mid season.

I think even with the contract, he might be fired on the spot if we lose to Toledo.

 

[isuforlife]

this is as good as it is going to be for the entire season , come on Basketball

Toledo is must win for Rhoads.

I hate to agree with you, but that's a big game.

 

[norcalcy]

I shut the TV off about a half an hour ago, and I'm assuming OSU has added another 14 since then.

Same old ****. Even when ISU is showing a pulse in the game like they did in the 1st half, its still the most excruciating **** to sit through anyways. With donations and tickets I got about $1,000 wrapped up in this season, and I'm really not sure I even want to go to the ******* Toledo game next week. I can save myself 6 hours of driving and not sit through this **** show.

I was in the camp of giving Rhoads until the end of 2015 to right this ship, but I'd be fine with him being out at seasons end. Blow this **** up and lets start over...

Don't blame you. That's a bad product on the field. Go back and look at how many true frosh and RS frosh are playing for OK State. Flat out embarrassing for ISU to not even cover against such a young team, especially when they forgot to show up until the late second qtr.

 

[ThatllDoCy]

I think it's pretty clear Mangino is bringing a knife to a gun fight, he knows our Qbs have major limitations.

QB? How about RB. Our best rb is a Freshman and he isn't getting reps.

 

[isuforlife]

come on how many passes did Paul drop? give it a rest

 

[stateofmind]

So most didn't expect us to be in this game, yet the Defense was killing it in the first half. Then some terrible executions put this game out and now you think our coaches can't coach? QB and WRs are hurting right now on a good defense. None of us want to be here, but the offense is the difference. Do you think Mangino can't coach? Come on.

 

[Dryburn]

Giving up on this year. When the coaching is this bad.......special teams look like high school. Also, how do you not have All Big 12 TE in on 3rd down plays near goal line? It's not as if ISU has someone who is a better target.

I love CPR's passion, but I don't think he is a strong coach. He can't recruit well enough for ISU to win, and he can't seem to coach players up well enough for them to win. Biggest problem is......I'm not sure who can. Plus if ISU does get someone good.....they will probably just leave after a couple of years.

 

[Cytation]

Who cares if we best Toledo. Only way to judge CPR Is his conference record. Enough said.

4:45 left in the game down 24. Let's make yet another attempt to establish a run game!

Coaching staff has already contacted the airport, getting the plane warmed up.
