For the love of pancakes. Does anything bad happen in your life like,..........ever? I can't imagine it does because I would imagine if you had anything bad happen you would just crawl in a hole. Seriously you're such a damn crybaby about literally everything. It really gets old. A guy can try to take a message board for what it's worth but with your incessant pouting about everything it just gets to be too much.
Hey "publisher"...NEVER tell people on your message board that it's too early, or too late, or too obscure to speculate about ANYTHING. You don't get that new Toyota Camry without pageviews, mister.
:wink:
That said, when CPR and CFH win national titles in the same year, which one takes a new job first?
This message is even better when read with the sense it's coming from your avatar.
I'm confused as to what kind of logic you applied to deduce that this isn't the best recruiting class ever because the team only won 3 games last year.
First, there are many other mitigating factors (like injuries, or crappy coaches) that affect the gross win number other than quality of recruiting classes.
Second, I'm having difficulting judging the affect of this year's recruiting class, not one of whom played a down last year, on the win total of the team last year. Maybe you could clarify that.
Or you could just shut the **** up already.
A couple of things that I heard was that Wally was getting ready to call it a career, no shocker. So I was assuming that Shane would be the next guy in. From my source, he stated Shane was looking at or had applied for a DC job on the east coast. If that happened Wally would go with Shane to help him for a year or two.
I'm not sure what happened with all of that or if my source was bad. As I've posted in other threads I was hoping we wouldn't be going through the rebuilding of the defensive side of the ball next year or worse case scenario this year.
With that being said things could have certainly changed now that they have a new OC. There are just so many moving parts and there is always going to be a lot of chatter from all directions.
We have a ways to go to match the talent that Earl Bruce brought in during the mid-seventies. The talent in those classes is still the best in ISU history. They put together 3 straight 8 win seasons and featured 4 All-Americans. Curse you again Woody Hayes.
Didn't the captain who works with the team and played back then say this is the most talented team Iowa State has ever had?
Last years problems were plain and simple. We lost a lot, we had a lot of inexperience playing. To make it worse, we had a bad injury problem and poor coaching on offense. Defense is just something more experience and time in the system and weight room won't cure.
Plus Earle Bruce's ENTIRE last recruiting class was Redshirted. One Woody Hayes Punch and the Hiring of Donnie Duncan screwed everything up.

Exactly. We cleaned house and brought in an awfully accomplished OC in Mangino.
The talent is rated higher by people who aren't just us Fanatics, so I'll buy that we have more talent.
For the first time in the past few seasons, I actually buy that the offense will be better going into the season. I just don't see Mangino giving us what we've had.
Now I know what product Mangino put out, but coming in were those players reguarded as talented as what he has here to work with? I feel like there is so much untapped potential on offense.
Yeah, my bad everyone. I apologize. I shouldn't expect us to be able to beat UNI. What was I thinking?
In fact I should just expect us to get dominated by UNI like we did. Who cares? We've got great talent on this team. We've had great recruiting classes under Rhoads. I don't care if UNI smokes us and humiliates us because I can just tell their fans afterwards that we have more talent...... Ha!
I'm sorry. I'm just sick of hearing Rhoads tell us every year that it's the most talented team he's ever had, and then we go out and lay a big fat egg. I don't care how talented you think we are Rhoads.... just win if you have that much talent. Put it to good use.
Hopefully the new coaches you've brought in can help. I will give you the benefit of making the decision to change that up at least. It can't hurt.
