Im honestly to the point where I hope we dont score in this game. How much will it take to get rid of our Mess?
Good point. I will be there but starting next week our fan support will be gone for the season. Sad but probably true
Well, then we are no better than those crybaby Squawkeyes.
Buck up, Man.
Just wondering how everything thinks this is going to hurt the recent surge in fan support we've had. Not just this game, but if this season continues. Honestly, right now, I don't care if I ever watch another Cyclone football game as long as I live. I thought these kinds of games were behind us. Never thought for a second we would win, but at this rate, even if they thottle it down second half we are going to get beat by 50.
I wish I could sit down with Rhoads after the game and just ask, "How do you feel, seems you had half the state of Iowa behind you the last couple years. Producing a mediocre product, the fans have come out in droves, donating record amounts of money, buying record amounts of tickets, and paying you more than any ISU coach ever, and this is what you give the fans in return? Are you even kind of embarrassed about what's going on right now? How does this happen 5 years into your run? It's at this point things should get better, not tank. I would think a guy like you would be begging for forgiveness a this point.

Actual attendance will be in the decreasing 30,000s
Can't really blame anybody if it is.Good point. I will be there but starting next week our fan support will be gone for the season. Sad but probably true
Ha! I was just thinking, Baylor will probably end with more points than we have total yards.
Nobody likes whiners!!! Heads held high. Take a page - with liberties - from Kipling.
IF you can keep your pride when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all fans doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait for victory and not be tired by waiting,
Or being criticized, don't deal in lies,
Or being hated, don't give way to hating,
And yet don't be conceited, nor talk too wise:
If you can dream - and not make dreams your master;
If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Victory and Disaster
And treat those two game outcomes just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your heart to, broken,
And stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools:
If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breathe a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: 'Hold on!'
If you can talk with refs and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch,
If neither loss nor stupid calls can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,
Yours is the Sport and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be Cyclones, every one!
