*** Official IOWA STATE vs Texas Tech Game(Day) Thread ***

[cyclonestunners]

Again, what evidence do you have. Inside info?

I believe the WVU coach mentioned it in his postgame. They changed how they did playcalls as a result.

 

[Prone2Clone]

Miss. St. had a 40-0 run on Auburn today so it's possible, baby!

 

[Cy4Lifer]

Maybe this has been answered elsewhere, but is it statistically better for us if the Sooners or Bears win today?

After watching this first half, it looks like I asked a really stupid question! Sorry y’all!

 

[AuH2O]

Overall not just defense. We've thrown a truly horrible interception, got bailed out a little on a PI on a pass that didn't look catchable and at one time Hall had 8 carries for 10 yards.

Gulp... special teams might have been the best performing unit by default.

That was a terrible PI call on the 3rd and 18. Not remotely catchable. I will take it, but that was an absolutely blown call.

 

[CyNews]

I'm keeping the faith. As a lifetime fan of ISU, that's what I have.

In my lifetime this university has a hunter and hunted problem. We thrive when we go hunting. But when we are the hunted.. We fold and never live up

 

[atlantacyclone]

We can still come back and win this. Of course that is up to the D…

 

[fcclone]

How many Heisman candidates have we created this year?

A quick look at the Heisman hopefuls indicates zero.

 

[67CY]

Probably going to end up with the bottom Big 12 bowl game. If that happens, I wouldn’t fault Hall for opting out unless he is coming back next year

 

[Rogue52]

Texas Bowl - Tuesday, January 4th - learn to love the date.

 

[stewart092284]

Just heard we gave up 326 yards on defense in one half....

I'm keeping the faith. As a lifetime fan of ISU, that's what I have.

I have heartache, depression and high blood pressure. I sure wish I was you.

yet I must be insane because I still think almost every Saturday we can win.
And I still think I'm going to really enjoy the young kids next year.
And that CMC might ever leave.

I must be drunk, naive or stupid and yet I don't feel anywhere nearly good enough to be drunk.,

A quick look at the Heisman hopefuls indicates zero.

I think they meant on other teams. Ha!

 

[RonBurgundy]

I think we still win.

Hell, maybe I am drunk, but I am still with you. Our D always adjusts at half.

Cannot afford a TO, and need to force a short field one.

TD scoring drive to open half is needed. Another 3 and out, and I am bailing on you.

 

[cycloneML]

ISU has 14 points. All coming from horrendous calls against Texas Tech. This team and coaching staff did not show up to play today. Going to need to force at least two turnovers this half to have a chance.

Literally seems they took the week off. They seem checked out.

Texas Bowl - Tuesday, January 4th - learn to love the date.

January bowl!

(did I do that right, EIU fans?)

 

[jdolson27]

Just in case anyone is wondering, UT, OU and TCU combined for 174 points against this ******* defense.

Manning will do that

 

[NickTheGreat]

Consistently aiming short of the first down is Tom Manning’s specialty

I thought maybe Rhoads and Mess were back.

 

[quasistellar]

Looking back on it, the “13 deep on the o-line” comment is just hilarious. That group is maybe the worst on the field along side the d-backs

13 deep when your best is average doesn’t mean ****. I never believed it because it’s the same damn guys.

 

[fcclone]

I think they meant on other teams. Ha!

Me too.

 

[AuH2O]

I mean a QB with no film on a revamped team vs. a team (ISU) that's been basically just OK isn't that surprising.

Yeah you usually don’t have tape on 3rd string QBs.

I’ll go ahead and say if every DC had the choice they’d be happy to play 3rd string QB with no tape every week.
