Also, lol at the effing long snapper entering the portal. Where the crap does that guy think he can go?

We laugh but he’s probably going to go make $100,000 at PSU

Long snappers are an underrated part of special teams when you have a reliable/perfect one, because you'll only notice one if they make a mistake.

That being said... utterly stupid and unnecessary to have paragraphs from every single player about leaving. A long snapper writing a transfer letter is an absolute joke.

"I'm taking my ball snapping talents to South Beach." lol

This fan has a point

Can we just assume that everyone on our 2025 roster is "OUT", and only start posting about the players that are confirmed staying?

Your 2026 Cyclones: Connor Moberly & Keaton Roskop

At this point we may have a reincarnation of the Dirty Thirty!

Add Dominic Overby to the list!!

I have zero confidence in Jimmy right now and am fully convinced we’re going to go 4-8 at best next year. Is he such a bad salesman that he can’t even get the Iowa guys to stay? And with Bacon…Jimmy is a former LB himself, our DC is a former LB and will be the LB coach…what could they have possibly told our best LB that made him be like “yeah, I’m not sticking around for this..”?

Take a deep breath and wait until at least like Jan 17th. We'll know (somewhat) more what ISU will look like once Jan 2nd-16th happens.

Those are the two weeks ISU fans should be able to get excited about (unless they're full blown doomer/gloomers, which they probably were for several parts of Campbell's tenure too)

Its sad when Iowa natives are not loyal sons, forever true

I have a feeling the LB thing was the hurdle.

CF last week: "Get these filthy G5's out of my playoff."

CF this week:

One of those G5 games was at a team that made the playoffs. Played another G5 almost playoff team on the road.

Washington State played 2 CFP teams.

They never were and never will be. Unfortunately no one cares about the “school or university” anymore. It’s just the times college athletics is.

Its obvious that the players loyalty lies with Campbell not the school or fans. They're always going to be more loyal to their coach and fellow players but now more than ever since they barely have to leave the practice facility and be real students.

Who is supposed to get the 26 jersey? Wasn’t it an Iowa kid who is heart and soul ISU and overcome challenges? We now know that isn’t it.

 

[RedBlooded]

We dont really know why guys are leaving. Some may be advised to leave.

Some are. Some aren’t.

I doubt current P4 starter-level guys are being advised to leave to make room for FCS-level guys.

My son just text me and said Overby was staying

This week:

You’d actually have a point if those posts were both by me.

But they aren’t. So it’s rather pointless, and Virginia was almost in the playoffs too.

Now it’s for an Iowa kid who will move on as it sees fit, like Jack.

If he wears 26 at Iowa, he’s being a doucher.

Like others, I’d just as soon the entire conversation be muted until Jan 17. Then open it up and see what we have. If folks want to leave…leave. No long sob-ridden letters needed. Thanks, but see ya. I’m more concerned about who wants to be here and couldn’t give a rats a$$ about who doesn’t want to be at my alma mater.

Instead of dumbing this, why don’t you go back and find posts by me where the tune on G5 in the playoffs changed. Thanks in advance @WartburgClone
