OFFICIAL POST GAME THREAD -KU vs ISU
- Thread starter coachdags
- Start date
well i feel better after losing to a really bad UNLV team, good effort...at least were getting closer
I wasnt pulling any "garbage" with anyone. I have heard far too many times it is a coaches "x" year and new recruits were coming in. How many times did we here about Mac's recruiting classes and the speed and athleticism. I want to beleive as much as anybody and will keep following but sometimes I think we are giving the coaches a pass when we shouldn't. As for the team, they play for the coaches and I believe in them. I do remember Dexter Green, Dwayne Crutchfield, Blaise Bryant, Joe Henderson and the list of backs we have had. I remember Hilton Magic coming alive in Johnny's first few years. We just seem to find a way to shoot ourselves in the foot and it gets frustrating.
One last thing, I think the OC needs to get with Aurnaud and work on his long passes. Does anyone else think he just doesnt put enough "air" under them so the receiver can run to the ball? Both times today I think he had the right play but threw too flat.
Oh yeah, I am sure we have some Refs on here, what the heck is defensive holding on the line and how many times have you called it or seen it called in your career. It was my first as a fan.

I think he realizes this after reading some of his post game quotes. It is very refreshing to realize a player knows his faults and is willing to admit them this soon. I have no doubt that he will be working on this.(Only 5 games into his era)
A little late thought after reading post-game quotes.
Even Mangino thinks we're going places:
So... who here wouldn't be happy with an Orange Bowl win in about 4 years?

Tough way to end the game after a great start, but I really feel like this team will become more consistent as the year wears on. I'm more confident than I have ever been that next year will be a very, very good team.
I've gotten to the point where I'm tired of trying to take good things away from our losses. It's been that way for years. Having said that, I don't feel that will be the case much longer, and from the looks of it, neither does our team or staff. It's great to see effort like I saw today. Even though our record doesn't necessarily reflect it. We are a good team. I completely agree that we are a few plays here and there from being 5 - 0. Woulda coulda shoulda. I know. We aren't 5 - 0. But given the fact that we have a young team, a coaching staff in their second year, and we are playing to win, I feel more confident than I ever have about ISU football. The coaches are getting the best out of our players.
It's great see.

To all those who are 'tired" of comming up short, all I have to say that Mac is gone and the program had to start from scratch. So there will be more to endure, and its part of the process. Strap yourself in and realize that this team/this year will show lots of promise but inevitably only tease us.
I knew(we all should have known) kansas would collect thier points yesterday and i didnt feel exceedingly safe up 20-0. Had Arnaud not fumbled the ball away late in the 2nd qtr, and ISU gets 7 then i believe KU throws in the towel though. ISU just isnt able to play strong for a full 60 minutes.
If they show marked improvement similar to last years progression, then we should get a glimpse of them playing a complete game vs B12 competition late in the year.
