NOTEBOOK: Charlie Kolar has a message for the haters

The message I want to hear from Kolar is that he's coming back to finish the journey to a conference championship.
I can get frustrated with some decisions but Purdy is amazing and the best ISU has ever had at qb. No hate from me or any other ISU fan I know. Hard fought loss, thems the breaks.
There’s been a fair amount of hate for him on here today.
This board is full of myopic people that think their pain is the only pain that matters and believe it's their obligation to blame someone. Fact is sometimes the other guys win.
Guys have a bad day sometimes, this wasn't his best day. But we'd be having a few worse years without Purdy around. He's won a lot more games than he's lost in the last 2.5 years. I'd be perfectly happy to see him here another year, at least.
The guy had a bad game. It happens. The characteristics that lead to games like today are what makes him clearly the best QB in school history.
Kid is a player, and is as tough and clutch as they come.

Some analytics folks are finding that QBs that throw the fewest INTs have fewer wins because they are more risk adverse. So there's some evidence that a bit of risk-taking (or certain level of confidence, maybe?) is needed for a QB to win the maximum number of games.
Purdy certainly takes some risks, throwing balls up for grabs. Hard to know if he's throwing "too many," costing us games, or throwing enough to maximize our wins. But based on the fact we're seeing some if the best football ever played in JTS, I don't think you can automatically say he is taking "too many" risks.

I mean his for interception he just under threw the ball otherwise that was a TD to Kolar. I would say the only interception I was mad about was the second one where he could've ran the ball instead of throwing it.
My only complaint about Brock's play is on the OC. He should have called some plays early on to get Brock into a rhythm. He didn't.
Brock is a warrior and the fault lies with the OC.

No hate here either. I do think it's a little disappointing that Purdy as an upperclassman has not improved in certain areas. These are things that are coachable. It has been fun to watch him run the ball this year though.
Watching the game. Message board cry babies don’t count as real people
Purdy could have throw a few passes a little better, and I am sure he knows that better than me. Guy was out there fighting for everything on every play, running for his life most of the game. OU was just plain better than ISU in that game, and to overcome that someone has to step up and make great plays. Purdy and ISU just didn't get that done yesterday. The fact that they were so close is what is frustrating. Just need to get a little better and they will.
Is there a clip of this somewhere that I have missed? It would help me.... “heal” from the loss.Re the comment about the hot mic on Campbell's rant...
I'm kind of wondering if perhaps he was questioning the ref's parentage?
