This is the best time of the year to be an Iowa State Football fan. We have just completed another miserable season(thank god), and now everyone can talk about how good we will be next year. Well I hate to break the bad news to everyone, but don't plan on going Pasadena next year, or even Houston the year after that. Our record should have been no worse then 6-6 the last two years.
I've heard two excuses for why this didn't happen. First, we need to give him a couple of years to get his recruits in the system. I'm sorry but if you can't win with two NFL players(Bowen,Rubin) and four guys that tried out for NFL rosters (Blythe,Banks,Barkema,
and Meyer) then your not going to win with his current players. Just try and name one guy on our roster who will make in the NFL next year. The second excuse is that we are starting so many freshman and sophmores. This is a perfect way for Gene to make you think that our young talent is better, and dangle that carrot for next year.
This coaching staff has proven that they can get out coached by any team regardless of what division they are in(UNI). Even if our talent level does rise in the next couple of years, don't plan on them being able to overcome the lack our of coaching ablility.
In regards to our schedule, don't forget that Jamie moved one of our home games next year to a neutral site. And after next year we are back on the OU, Texas, and TTech train bound for blowouts. Thanks Gene for all of false hope and don't forget to load up all of your old cronies when the Winnebago is ready to roll next December.
Have a happy holidays and keep dreaming of a good season!!!!
