    Running the Read-Option

    While I'm not going to pretend I know more than the coaches. I think it is a valid question to ask the coaching staff why from the fan's standpoint, it appears we are indeed playing against our strength. 1. Jantz has more runs than our RBs, and isn't anywhere near as productive doing it. 2. We...

    Time for a QB change??

    I've been behind JB since his first game last year, and even at the start of this year was hoping he would get the nod over Jantz. However, I don't think this is the time to pull Jantz. There is no doubt he had a terrible game on Saturday, but sometimes players just have a bad day, and from...

    TCU

    TCU looks to have at times, see Kansas game, the same turnover problems we do. After seeing our defense this past weekend, I think we should be able to hold them to <21 points. So defensively, I'm not all that concerned. Unfortunately, TCU has one of the better defenses in the league...

    ***OFFICIAL: TT @ ISU Predictions thread***

    I really don't have a good feeling about this game. While I think our offense is vastly improved, I feel like they are still too mistake prone and will do more harm than good in B12 play. Our defense has pulled us out of some tight spots this year along with some amazing punting, especially in...

    Help! Sioux City, IA - Where do Cyclones gather for games?

    The past couple years it has been at Town House Pizza which used to be owned by the same people who own Bob Roes. I knew the alumni group is now no longer active, and myself along with a few other friends went to Town House for the Iowa/Iowa State Game. There were a few Iowa State fans there...

    Rhoads on Lubbock radio tomorow

    So besides the radio crew not knowing the actual location of Ames. Was there any comments by Rhoads that can be told?

    After watching other Big 12 games this weekend, i'm feeling better.

    The reason I could see us losing or winning every game left on our schedule is because of turn-overs. Although you are correct, the turn over problem is fixable, unfortunately I think it won't get fixed. Only saying this because I feel like I've been saying, "Our biggest problem is turnovers...

    Being non-conference games with no rivalry Iowa or Northern Iowa is what I was assuming to be the cause for the not quite as jacked up crowd. I guess the most disappointing one was for the Tulsa game, I felt like with it being the first game of the year and even though Tulsa is not Iowa or UNI...

    Kind of off topic, but does anyone else think even with our great attendance numbers that the crowd hasn't been quite as loud/jacked up this year? Last year I remember multiple games where the upper deck would really get to swaying from everyone jumping and yelling, and it would stay like that...

    Hey Cyclone fans, Raider here (sorry for the long post)

    I really don't want to stick up for Iowa but they are better than any team Tech has faced, UNI could probably beat at least two out of three of the teams Tech has faced and probably would win all of them. Unfortunately I think our competition is by a big margin better than any team Tech has...

    Hey Cyclone fans, Raider here (sorry for the long post)

    I would say our defensive line is still our team's weakest link. They are however vastly improved from last year, although that doesn't take much. NT Jake McDonough has been the biggest surprise for me this year, he has really stepped up and made some huge plays for us this year. We...

    Hey Cyclone fans, Raider here (sorry for the long post)

    Can any of you Tech fans give a little more insight on your offensive line? I know it was mentioned that they have more starts than any other line in the big 12, but how does the talent/depth stack up? Are there any O-linemen that are NFL caliber? On our end, I would give our starting O-line...

    Blocking Gunners coming down the field

    It could be that I wasn't seeing this in our previous games but I definitely noticed it during the WIU game. It could be as others are saying that we are not calling for the return but more or less just making sure we call the fair catch. However, from what I saw, the defender was past our...

    Hey Cyclone fans, Raider here (sorry for the long post)

    I'll give you the Iowa game interception but I'm not sure how beating Tulsa by more than one score shows that an interception sealed the deal for the game. I also doubt you will hear many on here claiming Tech is any worse than Tulsa or Iowa, what has been said is that Tech is unproven against...

    Hey Cyclone fans, Raider here (sorry for the long post)

    Both TTech and ISU have a lot to prove in this game. This game could decide which team gets to go bowling and which one doesn't. This game could also make a huge impact on all future games in confidence whether good or bad. Neither team has had a lot of love from any talking heads due to the...

    Where the **** is the Hit Tape!?

    With the exception of the video quality I thought that video was great. Loved the music and it definitely showed a lot of great plays that I had forgotten completely about due to the outcome of the game. Had lots of great running and at least disrupting the quarter back.

    Tiller to ? against ? as a huge TD?

    I would imagine that it definitely in the playbook. However, I think there are only two scenarios that would require us to ever use it. The first is if we are at the end of a close game with a higher ranked team like an Oklahoma or K-state, and want to use this play to seal the deal and end...

    Nebraska game this Saturday...

    I know, that is a killer deal and should pack Hilton for that match. Only problem is that it does take out prime tailgating time.

    Nebraska game this Saturday...

    He is talking about the volley ball match in Ames on Saturday. Not sure how much this helps, but I got an e-mail the other day that says if you show your ticket, maybe season ticket holder only, for football you can get $2 tickets, at the ticket office the day of the match. Just checked my...

    Rewatching Iowa Game

    I would actually argue that it is obvious that it is intentional. One reason I say this is because during some preseason interview, CPR mentioned seeing if Arceo or Netten could kick with as much hang time as possible and as close to the goal line as possible. He didn't specifically say this...
