Time for Sanders to be the featured back

Sanders was a breath of fresh air in the 2nd half (4th quarter). He made an incredible cut to spring the big gainer and the TD was all him bouncing it to the outside. That's more vision and awareness than we've seen the entire year from Norton or Sama (who has a bright future).

With the offensive line struggling to open holes we need the element Sanders brings to the table. It's time to give him a shot at being the feature back and see if he can do it consistently.

This is the most hope I've had for the run game all season.

Here's my full photo gallery from yesterday :)

New Toilet?

While preparing for my colonoscopy. I had a lot of time to sit and think. One of the things that came into mind was "I'm 6'2, fat, and old. Why am I sitting on an 18 year old toilet designed for a child?". I have three in the house that I'd like to replace but I'm going to just start with one and had some questions.

  1. Do they come with everything I need. Like gaskets and such. If not, what do I need?
  2. I'm going to go with the chair height ones. I'd like to keep each one under $300. I plan on going with traditional flush instead of the two flush thing on top like those weird Europeans use.
  3. One Piece or Two?
  4. Glacier Bay, Kohler, or American Standard?
  5. What do I do with the old toilet? How do I get rid of it?
  6. Anything else I need to know about the install?

Pending Sale: 2 - ISU vs Cincy Tickets

Good morning CF!
A group of us are going to Cincy for the game, but had 2 individuals who backed out after we bought the tickets. We have 2 tickets for the game and I am only looking to get back what I paid for them, $67.73. Heck we have room for 2 more people to ride out if someone wants to ride with 4 Cyclone fans! We are leaving Thursday and coming back Sunday after the Bengals/Seahawks game. @ChrisMWilliams we won't leave you high and dry like @brentblum did?!?!

LET THE BALL RIP: Rocco Becht’s career day fuels ISU in 34-27 win over Oklahoma State

Jaylin Noel Appreciation

Jaylin Noel has been inconsistent at times, but we need him in the lineup to win games. I think we win the Ohio game if he wasn't out.

The TV announcers noticed how much thicker he looks this year. He's listed at 5'10" and 200. But I don't think he's lost any of his quickness. Don't throw him WR screens behind the line. Instead let him catch it over the middle and on the move. Becht like Purdy is really good at dinking and dunking and leading the receiver. Loved what we saw yesterday from Noel and Jackson. Those guys CAN get separation. And Becht has enough elusiveness and awareness to find them.

Punta Cana Travel Question - Carry On Luggage

Headed to Punta Cana and trying to figure out if you can bring a disposable razor in a carry on coming IN to Punta Cana. I know it's not allowed when you leave as it is on the list of prohibited items published by the Punta Cana airport for carry on luggage, but I assume that is when going through security to head back to the US. Since TSA allows disposable razors, shouldn't it be fine for traveling there and then just throw them away before heading back to US? I have googled my life away trying to find an answer to this question with no avail so coming to CF for real life experience answers. Thx in advance!

Matt Campbell's Most Important Game...

Sure, it sounds like "Coach Speak" to say that the next game is the most important game in the Matt Campbell Tenure, but the OkSt game is. It was ok for him to lose the Iowa game. It sucks, but his job security was never in question for losing that. The Ohio game was a disaster for multiple reasons, but he was still not in danger because he has proven to be able to win at Iowa State (at some capacity). We are frustrated with the team, but you reading this on a Cyclone site means something...

Here is the truth.... Losing at Iowa State does not get you fired. Let's face it. We are not LSU or Nebraska that can fire their coach after going 10-2 or 9-3 just because they think he will never win at the level they want. ISU hopes that you make a bowl every other year and putting out multiple losing seasons a couple years in a row isn't the end of the world. Yes, there is a point to when losing is a factor in the ISU HC being fired, but it is not mutually exclusive to the REAL reason...

The real reason you get fired at Iowa State: Apathy. We all know what to expect for our opening play of the first drive. We have seen it every game of every year. It worked once: 2021 KSU. Every other time it was like running into a brick wall. And if ISU does the same play this weekend, I expect "Boos" although I will not participate. The fanbase is tired. The gameplan isn't working and we are BEGGING for a change.....

So what happens if it doesn't change? What happens if we continue to try what doesn't work? I'll tell you. We will have about 53,000 fans for the TCU game. 40,000 fans for the KU game and a burnt orange stadium for the Texas game. You will think: "We need to fire this coach cuz we suck." Jamie Pollard will think: "We had an AMAZING year for season ticket sales, and these people are choosing to stay home. They already had the ticket and they chose not to use it. We are going to sell much less next year." As the athletic director, one of your KPIs is "Season Ticket Sales." It's a huge, dependable revenue generator and the way to sell season tickets is to sell excitement. That will move Pollard's needle....

Rhoads was fired because the fan base became apathetic. Prohm got fired because the majority of Cyclone Nation didn't watch the 2020 season even during a pandemic with nothing else to do. I hope that the staff makes a change. I love the Cyclones and Rocco is a stud. I still believe in Campbell and hope he takes the steps he needs to.
