    Hawk radio ad with Dolphin saying that they are "returning to the NCAA tournament"

    Re: Hawk radio ad with Dolphin saying that they are "returning to the NCAA tournament It's fun as heck to make fun of Iowa basketball, but they DID make the tournament based on the current NCAA Tournament format. This is an inarguable fact.

    Where is this program at the start of 2020?

    30-30 and no bowl games? Does not compute.
  3. Q

    I know Im in minority However Rhoads is my guy no matter what.

    You basically just made a point as to why the people do donate. That statement is pretty much true about Iowa State, but that's obviously not the pitch we're making. Just like that statement is (unfortunately) pretty much true of most cancer research organizations, but that's not the pitch...

    As many others have said, hindsight is 20/20. If you didn't say "wow, Paul Rhoads is a great coach for ISU" after the 2009, 2011, and probably 2012 seasons, you're kidding yourself. There probably aren't very many coaches that could have earned 3 bowl games in those first 4 years. Even if...

    K State TCU: Who wins?

    I'll be very interested to see who (if either) gets the 4th playoff spot between TCU and Baylor if they both win out. Going to make a lot of people mad either way. I'd be inclined to take TCU due to the slightly tougher non-conference slate, and the fact that their loss is technically better...

    Is it likely only one SEC team makes the playoffs?

    There's no way that no SEC team will make it; they'll find a way to squeeze a 2 loss Alabama or Miss St. into the equation if that were to end up happening. Probably deservedly so.

    Time for those who cover ISU to get some stones

    A few have commented on the recent struggles. But keep in mind that Iowa State has a much higher pain tolerance than Tennessee due to the polar opposite histories of the two programs.

    K State TCU: Who wins?

    Not at all, TCU has a great chance of getting in after this weekend's events. Need Alabama to lose 1 (they still have Miss St and auburn) or Miss St to lose 2 (they still have Alabama and auburn).

    Pollard and blame

    You kidding, man? Everyone is acting like this is the worst 2 year stretch in Iowa State football history. Student support is still MUCH better than it was before '09.

    Done with Wally

    I don't think anybody is denying that the last 2 seasons have sucked, but I also don't think we should ignore Rhoads' first 4 years of moderate success.
  11. Q

    K State TCU: Who wins?

    Tough decision. If K State wins out, I think they're almost guaranteed a playoff spot, but they have a tough schedule ahead of them. If TCU wins out they probably have a 75% chance of earning a playoff spot, and they have an easy schedule after K State. Give me TCU because I think K State is...

    I'm tired of all you schmucks

    This is just dumb. So is it Fred's fault that Nader and Thomas got DUIs?
  13. Q

    You can't have it both ways

    This is getting so ridiculous. Nobody is pleased with losing. If we seriously thought that we would only win 3 games each year with Rhoads, we would all want him gone. We "apologists" simply believe that Rhoads is still the man for the job and can get us back to where he had us before and then some.
  14. Q

    Is it likely only one SEC team makes the playoffs?

    It's going to be really hard to keep K State or TCU out if either win out. TCU's schedule is a breeze if they get past K State this weekend. I'm thinking SEC, B12, FSU, Oregon.
  15. Q

    Would you fire Paul Rhoads?

    I can't tell if this is sarcasm or an extreme misunderstanding of the most basic level of statistics.

    New 2015 Offer? Isaiah Moss

    Finally a sensible post, thank you. Iowa is going to win the basketball recruiting battle every now and then. Just like we'll beat teams that are better than us every now and then.

    I'm tired of all you schmucks

    Half as successful as Snyder equates to 7-8 wins as highs? Ah, yes. I recall those 14-16 win seasons Snyder has had.
  18. Q

    Would you fire Paul Rhoads?

    If you can't learn to spell his name after 6 years how can we expect him to turn around one of the worst football programs in the history of college football in 6 years?

    Keep the coaches

    Every SOS site I've seen that doesn't look like it was developed by a guy sitting on his computer in his underwear has us as a top 10 SOS. Big 12 is good this year, just not the regular powers.

    OT: American Horror Story: Freak Show

    I think he's pretty freaky; he has a good crazy guy vibe to him. I'm excited to see where they take it next with him and the guy with the giant dong (or I assume that's what the viking scene was about) as the main antagonists.
