Will going bowling come down to TCU or WVU?

- Start date
Then if we have a bad year next year we can always say "wait till the next year, we should be good!"
None of those games are a sure L. And I'm including Texa$ in that.
I'm not saying we'll win all them, but it is possible :yes:
Holgs has set numerous times we are as deep this year as we've ever been. That said we probably lost our best corner for at least the year so we'll see if he is right.
Yes, we squeaked out a win but we left a lot of points on the field....we should have beaten them much more. And as someone pointed out I think MD will do well in the B1G this year.
Losing Farniok will hurt worse. The unit looks lost without their four year starter.
Yeah, hate to be the downer, but we didn't just lose to NDSU, they pretty much wiped the field with us.
The KSU game was an improvement, but we still fell apart in the second half to blow that one. If it wouldn't have been for a crazy 2nd quarter, that game would have looked much worse than NDSU.
Iowa? I think a lot of people bought into the hype that most Iowa fans had going into the season. I never bought it, I knew they weren't good, but I will admit, I didn't give ISU much of a chance in that game anyways. All that game proved to me is that Iowa is worse than ISU. Iowa will struggle this year.
The Baylor game I think, willl be a good indicator of what this team is capable of. I just fear that no matter what happens, ISU doesn't score enough points to even make it a competetive game.
Again, hate to be a downer, but I think too many people are putting a lot of stock in beating Iowa. A lot of teams are going to beat Iowa this year.
I would feel MUCH better about 6-6 if we could have pulled off the W against K State. We have to go at least .500 in our remaining 8 B12 games, which is a tall order considering 2 of those are top 10 teams. I'm sticking with where I was at the beginning of the season, 5-7.
OK guys, I love Iowa State, but let's all pump the breaks a bit.
First of all, mitya is probably just trolling to get people to say something stupid
Secondly, let's not put too much stock into the Iowa win. It was a rivalry game and anything can happen there. I can see all of the people screaming BOWL GAME going on a complete bender if we get smoked by Baylor which is a steep possibility.
Let's just take it one game at a time and not worry about a bowl game unless we get to the end of the season at 4-6 or better.

Correct. 4-8 at best. Don't get too excited about beating Iowa. They looked terrible the first three games.
Next year though Lalk (I'm assuming) will have had an entire offseason and camp to focus only on being center. That should help out a whole lot with his ability to read defenses and make checks on the line.
Sorry, but this is not a 5-Big 12-game winning team. 3 games? Maybe even 4? But 5+ (something Rhoads has never done...) seems like one hell of a stretch.
I think getting to 5 wins would be phenomenal but I just don't see six on the schedule this year. But we may have a shot if we catch an OSU, or WV Sleeping on us. I think Toledo, and Kansas are the only probable wins. Then we have "could maybe on a good day, great luck" maybe beat TTU and a TcU or Texas. It's too much luck to be realistic about.
Then factor in BIG12 officiating and ummmmm no.
