Sweet Bye Week .GIF Thread

Let's have some fun and post some goofball .gifs to celebrate our bye week victory.

I tell you one thing. I hate 11:00 am kickoffs at home, but love them on the road. Crowd just waking up and if we win, whole remainder of the day to cheerfully get stuff done. Hopefully Baylor will be 11:00 am also, and then a night game for KU.

Get healthy boys. LFG!

STORY: The five most impactful players & plays from Iowa State's win over Cincy

Improved Special Teams

I love the improved special teams and attribute it to finally having a dedicated coach to this part of the game.

Although I love the improvement, I also hate to think of all the games CMC has lost over the last several years by being stubborn and not focusing on this part of the team/game. We have left countless wins on the field because of special teams over the years.

The Coaching Turnaround Has Been Drastic

Really crazy how much better the entire offense seems now. Rocco has the chains off and is slinging it. Noel has become a solid WR after not doing anything the last 2 seasons and maybe is a good returner now too? All the RBs are playing better and seeing the field at a higher quality. TE's continue on the right pass. OL is slowly getting better at blocking although there was some rough spots today. Playcalling is better and guys seem to have clear types of usages that fit them better than before

Overall I'm stunned. I thought the Iowa, and then for sure Ohio games were a sign that CMC was heading the route of everyone who stays here too long. Instead we once again have a pulse. Props

Good Cincinnati ticket free to a good Cyclone!

Missed my connection at ORD this evening. Just my luck.

Single ticket at about the 40-yard line 5ish rows back from the Iowa State bench.

Free. No strings. PM me your Ticketmaster and its yours. Enjoy Nippert Stadium for me.

Just want to have another good Cyclone in the stadium tomorrow. I'll watch from Chicago.

2020/2021 Nissan Rogue SL vs 2020 Cadillac XT4 Sport vs 2020 Subaru Forester

We're looking at buying a used vehicle that fits our budget, meets our criteria (mileage, features) and - the hardest one of all - has the legroom that my husband is comfortable in. We've done a ton a research, including going to different dealerships and sitting in and/or test driving multiple makes/models. It was a PITA, but so far these two vehicles check all the boxes. Now I'm digging more into reliability, common problems, recalls they've had, etc.

Just wondering if anyone on here has had experience or knowledge with either vehicle (2021 Nissan Rogue SL or 2020 Cadillac XT4 Sport)? To be blunt - I'm not looking for links to research or to have other vehicle suggestions.

And - is it common for a dealership to replace tires on a vehicle? In looking at the Carfax reports, I noticed two different dealerships that replaced the tires on the Rogue around the 20k mark.

Update: Adding the 2020 Forester, though we haven't test drove it. According to information found, the legroom will work.

Bye Week Browsing - Big12 Fanboards/blogs

Greeting all.. took me a few days to get around to posting, but here it is. I took most of the past week after our BYE to try and find more different fan boards etc to try and prep for next year and the Big 16 or whatever.

I'm already familiar with the following places -

Utefans.net (home board)
Cougarboard (source of truly delusional but entertaining posts)
Coogfans (the *good* cougars)
AllBUffs (suddenly alive and kicking after a decade in doldrums)
and of course
CycloneFanatic

I was checking out some article that linked back to SBNation, and saw there was another ISU related site (not a forum board tho) "Wide Right & Natty Lite" I wondered what your thoughts on that sort of site are. Which then led me to wondering about other fan-based boards for Big XII related schools.

Any help with compiling a list of fanboards for the other schools, and any reputable/respected blogsites etc would be greatly appreciated!

Many thanks, and here's to more gridiron success for y'all!

5 years ago today ISU vs WVU

Just saw this pop up that this game was 5 years ago today. Wow. One of my all time favorite games. The game where it felt like ISU football truly arrived under CMC IMO. So much came out of this game. Purdy's first start, first time wearing the black, first Juicy Wiggle. Kicking the crap out of a top 10 team in a prime time spot. So much fun. Crazy to think it was only 5 years ago.
