Well, sure, but does your bowl change with 8 wins and a bad loss, vs 8 wins and no bad losses? I think not.

So far, ISU has left two very winnable games on the table. Leaving winnable games on the table is never really good, but I think it will be the end of the season before we know if they were "bad" losses.
As far as ISU goes, I don't think the issue is so much what bowl you are going to, but rather how many wins you end up with. Moving the program forward and maintaining that momentum require good recruiting classes, and good recruiting depends on how the potential recruits preceive the program.
If ISU misses a bowl, I think the Iowa and TCU losses become "bad" losses. If ISU ends up at 6-6, I think they are borderline "bad" losses because the recruit perception of a 7-5 then 8-4 program would be significantly better than the perception of a 7-5 then 6-6 program...
Not really. Tech under KK isn’t very impressive. Can’t make a bowl half the years and when they do it’s a bowl in Dallas Texas usually. Tech hasn’t been to the level Mike Leach had them at at all.
They just beat TCU in FW, something the Ames media darling couldn't do. I believe KK is making progress down there.
You’re basing your conclusion on the outcomes of two close and ugly games?
Didn't watch ISU/TCU. But last night's match was entertaining. I always enjoy B12 play. Coach Patterson alone is worth a watch.
Last night's outcome was more about TCU than Tech, they have every chance to win and couldn't. I'll go out on a limb and say that KK never wins a game again at Tech when only scoring 17 points.
Biggest difference between ISU and TTU playing TCU is that the ISU OL was really struggling in that game. The strip for the TD was the difference in the game. Also, Robinson has played a couple more games, so the TTU DC have the advantage of seeing how to stop their talented but somewhat limited young QB.
Great, that’s 1 win against an average team who’s offense literally self imploded all game. Wake me up when they do something a little more noteworthy than that.
He clearly has a hidden bitterness about Iowa State. Maybe he is tired of all the basketball spankings up until last year.
139-87 K-State overall. But yeah, 6-4 ISU over the last 10.
And to suggest the media doesn't like and write favorably about Matt Campbell (and rightly so) is just silly.

Because Campbell is a young, bright coach? You just sound extremely bitter.
Maybe tell your Hero to retire so your football program can move forward.
So weird that the media in a college town would write favorably about the college in their town . . .
Yep, bitter.139-87 K-State overall. But yeah, 6-4 ISU over the last 10.
