The long wait until a very mediocre football season has begun!
- Thread starter UnCytely
- Start date
When the players keep choking in this one particular game, and it's over the course of 9 years with completely different sets of players, I think that comes back to coaching.
And I don't want to sound negative about Campbell. I love him and think he's the best coach ISU has ever had, but he absolutely f*cking sucks out loud against Kirk Ferentz, and it's annoying.
I'm sick of losing to them but the players have to sack up IMO. It's not on Campbell to force the right head space into you. That's on the individual and team leaders.
I think you need to now focus on the Cyclone baseball team. They are putting together a helluva season.
In a given year, I agree. Campbell didn't fumble that punt in 2019. Campbell didn't comically fail at tackling Akrum Wadley in 2017. Campbell didn't throw 4 picks or fumble in the end zone in 2021. But.....
When it happens repeatedly over different classes and groups of players, that feels like a coaching issue.
Pretty sure Uncytrly is a troll.
Never a post that's not cloaked in underlying trolling.

Dear UnCytely,
I'm afraid that we have decided to not renew your contract for the upcoming year. Your performance has not been meeting expectations and little progress has been made on your corrective action plan.
We encourage you to seek relationships with other teams that are better suited to your particular skillset and aspirations. We have a few connections with Ohio State and Alabama and close ties with professional organizations that represent all the Big 10 and SEC schools. We would not hinder your pursuit of relationships with any of these more suitable positions and would provide a professional and non-negative review of your tenure with us.
Once again, thank you for your time with us. We appreciate the sacrifices you have personally made along the way and how our organization has not met your needs in the timeframe you require.
We request that you take your time to carefully pack all ISU labeled and Cardinal and Gold decorated items and drop them off with Kari in HR as you exit the premises.
Sincerely,
ISU Fandom
I, for one, can't wait to see Rocco cook. Hoping they lean into it because Higgins/Noel/Brahmer should be a dangerous and fun group.
I don't know what the record is, but I think if we work as a team we could get this to be the most dumbed post ever.
I’ve been excited about ONE season in the past 15 years or so. That was after the "big" bowl game win over Oregon. We all know how that season sucked. It’s just easier to accept that we are Iowa State and special seasons happen once or twice in a lifetime. Since the moment I walked onto ISU's campus in 1978 I remember three seasons that I termed as great in my memory. Two of those were under Earle Bruce. The other under McCarney. We've definitely had some fun seasons under CMC. I'm glad he is our coach. It’s always better once we get past the annual loss to Iowa. There are those magical games scattered here and there that excite the imagination. It’s become a rarity to be blown out now. Used to be the norm 3-4 times a season. 6-7 wins a year sure beats the alternative. This season looks like another one of those. I’ll be there cheering and cursing as ISU fans are wont to do. I’ll also have my patented Iowa State nut cup handy.
This kind of goes back to what people are saying about the Iowa game. Will they be allowed to cook for the first 3 weeks of the season?
Every year we hear the OL will be much improved. Then we play the first game to realize it isn’t. Maybe this is the year it happens. LOL.
Yeah, Iowa is eminently beatable. Just not by us.
This is why you shouldn't post drunk. As someone else said your **** is weird in the politics forum...this is exceptional even with your low standards.
Can't wait for the day he figures out his mother is a lying *****. You're not relevant.
I do kind of agree tho... the hype train is just not alive at all for me for football. Best case scenario for me is a win against Iowa (lol) and a bowl game win ending the season at 8 wins. I mean we got absolutely dominated on the LoS by Memphis. There is no world in which we have a top half of FBS O-Line next year. Defense will again be acceptable. I think 8-9 wins with a bowl game W would be a great season for this team
