Ubben weighs in on the Big XII.....

[SCarolinaCy]

Best game: Iowa State 38, Tulsa 23. This one was closer than the final score indicated.......

Worst quarter: Iowa State's first quarter.

Worst play: Dishonorable mention: Iowa State's safety off a draw play out of the shotgun ... at its own 3-yard line.

Disagree with "it being closer than the final score indicated." The final indicates pretty well the kind of game it was.

 

[F5cy]

We could have put another score on the board at the end too.

 

[Cyclonz]

After the first quarter we had the one break down and the 77 yard run we gave up, but we pretty much dominated the game after the first quarter.

 

[dualthreat]

yeah right that tulsa was about to run us out of the stadium Ubbs. what a joke...

 

[bostrem00]

Is it just me or did that 8 pt lead that ISU held for through the third and fourth quarter, seem more insurmountable than it was....I felt like ISU's D was on lockdown mode and Cody Green was as cold as ice.... cuing

100% agree with the worst play. That was a horrible play call.

 

[Sloup]

I disagree with his assessment too, but you guys sound like Santonio Holmes.

Jets? Holmes scolds media, asks reporters to be positive - New York Daily News

He has the right to his opinion, and he has the right to look like an idiot when he's wrong.

 

[jburke]

Knott's fumble recovery was also Honorable mention top play...

+ 1. I'm sure Coach Mess would like to have that one back. AND Jeff Woody :laugh:

Mess is learning too. Glad we got one of those learning moments out of the way.

. Paul Rhoads now has 19 wins at Iowa State, despite being favored in just eight games.

Favorite part of the article. Never new the actual number, but that a lot of upsets:wideeyed:. Kind of sad commentary for OSU when you score 84 points and don't even get mentioned on any offensive performances. they might want to beef up that schedule a little.

Read in the KC Star that OSU had to scramble to find a new opponent. Claims that Savannah State was the 17th school that OSU tried to schedule. Savannah State had never played a BCS team before. Now, they go get to get drilled by Florida State, who also had a scheduling issue when West Virginia dropped FSU.

I'mma take a stab at guessing those 8 games:

1 - North Dakota 2009
2 - Kent State 2009
3 - Northern Illinois 2010
4 - Northern Iowa 2010
5 - Kansas 2010
6 - Northern Iowa 2011
7 - Kansas 2011

Can't think of #8...were we ever favored against Baylor, Colorado, or K-State?

my guess would be Colorado after they fired their coach.

I think that game was at Colorado, though. We sure **** the bed that game with bowl eligibility on the line.

I heard that also, just can't believe that there wasn't a single team out there willing to play OSU that was a little tougher opponent than this. Maybe not though.
