*** Official IOWA STATE vs #13 Oklahoma Game(Day) Thread ***

[Cyclones1969]

I see people dumbing comments trashing the throw. You can go through and look yourself

Trashing the throw and trashing the kid are two different things

The ones being dumb about Brock deserved all the dumbs they got.

 

[cygrads]

I knew we would end up losing but always hope I'm wrong. I hope Purdy is ok, how those hits to the head weren't penalties is beyond me.

Lets have a sad bird party together
Sad and Mad are the same emotion, you can easily switch one to another.
If you are mad, switch that to sad, and lets be sad birds togther.

it's unbelievable how we had like 4 fumbles, 2 picks, got sacked 7 times, and still probably should have won

And that is why we should ultimately feel good about the direction of the program. We shouldn't feel great about this season. But the direction of the program? Pretty ******* solid.

 

[cyatheart]

Anyone get vibes of last season’s conference championship game?

nuts like every gave…sleepwalk for half the game

 

[Spartanantler]

Purdy to the candian leage practice squad?

 

[ISUcyclones11]

Tom Manning is as bad as BF

 

[CyState85]

If you’d have told me before the season that this team was 6-5 at this point, I would have asked why Campbell was fired or why did Hall, Kolar, Rose Purdy, Hutchinson, Hummel, Enyi, and Young all quit the team.

 

[baagoe]

Why is it unfortunate? That implies it’s not unfortunate if it’s someone else’s fault. Purdy constantly misses in the clutch and red zone and did it again today when Ou was playing soft. He is who he is and each kid/unit deserves to be praised or blamed objectively.

Semantics

 

[cycophagus]

Is OU just perfectly playing our snap? I cannot believe they haven't had an offsides on some of these jumps.

The OU DC's reputation precedes him!!

 

[ISUcyclones11]

Purdy to the candian leage practice squad?

Purdy was fine, when the OL is a revolving door that can't be good for your psyche

 

[cyclonevac]

Exactly right, all the offensive records broken were because of defense. Why do people always have to fin a whipping boy?

 

[JUKEBOX]

also I thought the officials were pretty bad (not sure if they were the same ones we had vs. wvu?)

for the review where we got the touchdown on the first drive, I have no idea how that wasn't incomplete

I get frustrated in general at big 12 officials how they never call holding on ou when it's super obvious

they didn't impact the outcome, but just an observation

 

[xboxfever]

Campbell had to make staff changes this off season or we’ve seen peak Campbell. A new o line coach and a new OC or this team will never reach a Big 12 championship game again.

 

[cyclone1209]

Time to move on from o line coach

 

[statsaholic]

Its not bashing when its the truth. This team choked the crap out of this season. At some point played good football doesn't matter when you end up 6-6

and up yours.

 

[SwirlyBird]

Lets just stick together and trust the process.
Sometimes you do everything right and it doesnt go your way!
And thats the story with this senior class, you do everything right, and have a lot of success, but stumble towards the end.

Lol tell me this is a meme

 

[Christopher C]

Semantics

Perhaps subconscious as to call it what it is. The kids is wonderful football player in so many ways but he has continues to make the wrong play or missed play in crucial situations.

 

[cyrocksmypants]

If you have been watching the clones for a while, you should know this is a massive improvement from the past. If we played this bad, the score would be 56 to 7 in Norman against OU, now we lose by a TD .

Big recruiting class coming in, so we will see what happens in two years

I’ll give you props, Zuri, because I think this is the first positive thing I’ve ever very seen you post about the Cyclones.

Still hope your Hawkeyes lose though.

 

[iowastatefan1929]

Manning doesnt have a deep threat, how dare you people ask for his head. Sorry we lost Butler and Lazard.
