I think we can take the lead if we stay focused. Go Cyclones!
Oh, I have. Not trying to discount your feelings, but I just think you are exaggerating.
Where I come from, we call that "Waldening." To be honest that doesn't sound like MC. He will work hard to put out a winning program. I'm sure he believes having more player money and financial support behind the program is key, but he will not get as much mileage out of his coach speak baloney with 4 and 5 star guys, fans, and boosters that he was able to sell in Ames. I think he is a pretty close analogue to James Franklin and will get similar results.
I'm surprised he didn't want to stay to compete for the starting job.. it was right there with Carson Hansen leaving!
Some of these guys I don't get. Carson Brown, WR from Des Moines.. like what does he think his market is? I'm not trying to be snarky but i'm trying to be real. Some of this is hilarious. Carson Brown could have played a lot next year had he stayed (maybe he still will if he finds no other suitors)
No way, the getting on the knees with mouth open, couldnt have totally been an exaggeration, for effect. That was 100% realistic.
Seriously?
I think part of the comments aimed at Campbell and the departing players is really frustration over the current system. People have no ability to control or change the repeated punches to the gut that the portal and NIL bring on. They can’t control players they rooted for leaving en mass while the fan is left to root on the program they’ve displayed loyalty to for decades. So they lash out where they can. I’m not excusing it, but I do understand where the frustration comes from. Personally, I’m amazed those seem to have the ability to say, “oh well, Good Luck!”
Sama, Vorhees, Flora. Not much room for Lee. Love the guy and wish him well.
That's fine he can think what he wants. But apparently loyalty only flows one way?
.... and hopefully Peppers? Is he still here or not?
Some of these guys will be giving up playing in front of 60,000 pumped up fans in Jack Trice Stadium... for playing in virtually a glorified high school stadium that is half full if they're lucky. Oh well.
It's not the words that I see as an exaggeration, it the level to which you seem to feel some, that poster in particular, are supporting Campbell and resisting Rogers.No way, the getting on the knees with mouth open, couldnt have totally been an exaggeration, for effect. That was 100% realistic.
Seriously?
I haven’t seen much ire directed at the departing players. I have seen a lot directed (appropriately) at Campbell and to a lesser extent Pollard. This roster depletion may have been anticipated but imo it creates a near death penalty experience for ISU.
just because someone enters the portal doesn't mean they wanted to
What if good or better players replace those that are transferring out of ISU?
Or that they’ll actually leave.
I’ve got to think some of these kids may come back…there is a ton of transfers out there that won’t have landing spots.
