I greatly enjoyed this broadcast crew! They were unbiased and knowledgeable about both teams. One of them made a Dwayne Crutchfield reference - a significant percentage of posters on this board never saw Crutchfield play!

In our defense we were born after the Rural Electrification Act
Damn, we went on the road, won by 20 and people are saying we could have done more. Since when is ISU Alabama or Georgia?
Sure we could have had touchdowns instead of field goals, check out how young ISU is, it takes time to learn how to win. Rocco was expected to be holding a clip board this year, and fight it out for the job in a year or two, instead he was thrown into the fire. Instead of crumbling, he is getting better, does he still make mistakes, sure he is a red shirt freshman, young QB's make mistakes, they rush throws, but they learn from it.
Rocco ran the ball today and we were throwing down the field, look how much at opened it up, we are getting there. We could have folded after the Ohio loss like we did last season, this team is getting better every time we are on the field.

Agree, I feel we can get to 7 wins. We seem to be getting better every game.
The tough thing is 3 road games and our 2 home games are against the 2 highest ranked teams left on our schedule.
UT is the only one that I'd mark as a sure L but otoh let's see if Sark has actually gotten UT in the right frame of mind.
Agree. And you know, beat Iowa every so often would be nice too.
Agreed, with how we’re playing now, Texas is the only one that we lose. All the others left are winnable.
This might be one of the single stupidest things ever posted on a Cyclone message boards. Goodness, we have quite the dorky fanbase.
ST's has been very goot! Refreshing for a change. Kudos to the coaches and especially coach Langs!
Correct. Expect to win. Winners (and winning programs) expect to win.
That and I like getting UT in Ames on Nov 18 after they play KSU and TCU. Hope its a nice chilly weekend.
Yeah, really miss the extra home game. I've not really thought about it too much, other than this year.
That’s the problem with playing Mac Teams on the road in a Home and Home and a trip to Jonesboro, Arkansas.
Please convince me why we schedule those.
Let me remind you, the last Nebraska game in overtime. Wide open over throw by the holder.
Entirely different taste than what you’d consider chili. It’s heavy on the warm/sweet spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, and clove…and it’s delicious.
Edit: and in far SE Iowa of course he’s a Squawk fan

Apart from our next game (the next game is the biggest game), the KU game is circled and we will pull out all the stops to win that one. It's our second to last home game and every home game is extra big this year.
That said, who doesn't want to beat Baylor?
It’s half assed spaghetti mixed with half assed chili. Skyline chili is as mediocre as the football teams that call Cincinnati home
