I think ISU has lost the last three by 29, 20, and 30 points. That is definitely not great.

Oddsshark.com has TCU winning, covering the spread of course, and the total going over. I'll go with that. Which probably means that we'll cover.

******************. Gotta at least find a coach to keep it positive.
While I agree that is a sad statistic, beating this TCU team at home is FAR from a tall task. Of course, losing to Florida whatever seemed to be something that was impossible.
That is why I changed his 29 point loss in the last three to a minus 29 point loss, since he was conveniently ignoring that the last 3 games weren't all blowout losses, but instead included one blowout win.
One of my biggest concerns is not that we're losing, that always sucks, but it's the margins of losses. And it's how often we are losing in Hilton.
In the last three seasons, the stats are pretty eye-opening to me. I like Prohm but he really needs to right this ship and quickly.
2017-18:
- Losses by 10-14 points = 2
- Losses by 15+ points = 9
- Hilton record = 9-7
- Losses by 10-14 points = 1
- Losses by 15+ points = 2
- Hilton record = 12-4
- Losses by 10-14 points: 2
- Losses by 15+ points: 7
- Hilton record so far: 10-5
In the last three seasons, Prohm has coached ISU to a Hilton record of 31-16. We have 23 losses of 10+ the past three years, including 18 being over 15 points.
Throw in losses like Florida A&M and the worst loss in the history of Hilton Coliseum and I'm not sure how anyone can be upset at any other fan that is a bit worried.
Can he right the ship? Sure. This season could be a blip. But I don't fault anyone for being uneasy either.
TCU is terrible on the road. I look for them to see this as a chance to pick up a rare road victory.
We are either blowing teams out or getting blown.......... (sounded better before I typed it)
My brain says we win this one. My pants already have the steel nut cup on.

As a guy who has been married for a couple of decades "getting blown" doesn't sound bad at all to me.
