2005. The year where Baylor was our worst loss (by point margin), and we could have been as good as 11-0 in the regular season. Perhaps the best defense ISU has ever had.

2002 was similarly painful. Started out the season 6-1 (should have been 7-0 - HE WAS IN!!!) and was ranked top 10. Then the bottom fell out. Finished the regular season 1-5 and got shipped out to play Boise St on their own blue turf.

Someone said the '02 team was cliquey or had some chemistry issues. I think depth played an issue along with becoming one dimensional with Wallace.

Gameday talks for less than a minute on ISU=TOE game, then spend more time on Tenn-East Tenn St...

Here is analysis from TOE fan:

"KF will try to establish a run game while mixing in short passes and a little play-action over the top to Easley. If the hawks can do this they will control the clock which they should have no problem doing against a weak Iowa State defensive line."

It's one thing to think your team will win, it's another to not even know enough about your opponent to make an informed analysis. I get the coaches know how good ISU D line is, but this sheds light on why TOE always has this, "we're superior" complex. They will be in shock when ISU D line dominates en route to an ISU win, but we won't be.

Now that was typical ISU football futility in action esp 2002...................
