    Now that I've calmed down...

    Coming in at 9 to play 10 at home hosting GameDay in front of a national audience to regress in our execution as we always do in September? Iowa or not, there was going to be a meltdown. We might go on to beat the crap out of some really crappy big 12 teams now but all that non-isu fans will...

    UNLV giving #23 Arizona State a game

    I can't speak to "giving up" or our offensive play calling because CMC knows a billion times more about football than I do and I trust him but I think I can reasonably say two things: 1. People over index on last year. We played great and it was a lot of fun but that season will always have an...

    Where Will ISU End Up if the Big 12 Implodes?

    Big 10 is my first choice by far. Honestly, anything else and I'm going to be a lot less interested in isu football games. It'd be really nice to play games close.

    Anyone else just start laughing

    Yeah, I'm looking at Big 12 results and I'm not exactly sure why people think we're 3rd in the Big 12. Pretty clear OU and Texas are 1 and 2 and I don't see us beating them. But beyond that it's anyone's game IMO and so far other Big 12 teams are getting it done, even on the road. KSU went to...

    Ohio State

    Yeah, but I would expect them to have better stats simply because of the competition they've faced. LSU took another loss last night which means their best win is now against a 3 loss LSU (who also lost to Florida and TAMU). Alabama's OOC schedule includes such greats as Louisville (2-10)...

    Ohio State

    While I agree that neither Ohio State or Oklahoma have looked very good, Sagarin says that Alabama's SoS is the worst in the top 10 (with UCF being the obvious exception). Really, if you look at Alabama's schedule it's definitely meh with their best win being over LSU (another team with a meh...

    Ohio State

    The talking heads were also already assuring Alabama fans that Alabama is in no matter what after winning today (and they will). I'm ignorant of the revenue sharing agreements in the SEC but maybe Alabama should throw next week as I'm pretty sure that's going to guarantee Ohio State and Oklahoma...

    College Football Playoffs Thread

    My "eye test" told me that Alabama is not that great of a team this year either. Now what? All we have to go on is results on the field and in that test Wisc > Alabama. Neither tOSU nor Alabama look that good this year but because they have those names they'll be considered. Worse, it now...

    College Football Playoffs Thread

    Wisconsin and Alabama are both 0-1 against top 10 teams and 3-1 against top 30 teams. Sagarin has Alabama's SoS at 56 and Wisconsin at 50. Wisconsin lost by 4 to #5 tOSU and Alabama lost by 12 to #7 Auburn. Wisconsin also has one extra win and at least played for their conference...

    College Football Playoffs Thread

    Alabama did play Auburn, and they lost. A 12-0 Wisconsin would be ranked above an 11-1 Alabama (who btw, has a worse Sagarin SoS than Wisconsin). Wisconsin had to go play tOSU and they lost. Those losses seam about equivalent to me with maybe a slight edge going to Wisconsin. So now you have...

    College Football Playoffs Thread

    I see a couple of problems. The committee could decide to go one of two ways: choose the 4 best teams or choose the 4 most deserving teams. Problems with choosing the 4 best teams: 1) Transitive rules don't really apply and the top teams from the different conferences simply don't play each...

    Kelly to UCLA

    I predict that if Frost goes to UNL... 1) Year 1-2: Rebuilding and struggling to achieve/maintain .500 2) Year 3-4: 8-10 wins, maybe even play for conference championship 3) Year 5-6: Nebraska fans start complaining about mediocrity/needing to get to the next level 4) Year 7: SF fired after...

    ESPN Laying Off Additional On-Air Personalities

    The writing was on the wall, cable subscriptions are declining. I've been "mostly" off of cable for several years only subscribing for a few months for college football. This year I'm on Hulu which gives me access to every game I could want so cable is gone for good for me. I guess I'm...

    When will Jacob Park return to ISU Football

    I really hope Park gets his **** together and graduates and moves on and is very successful. However, I do not think he should start next year even if he is "healthy" then. Stability matters in a position like quarterback and I'm not altogether confident that Park can finish the season. I'd...

    538: ISU CFP percentages

    FTFY. Stated better: The first and two most important criteria for the selection committee, according to their own actual rules: 1) Revenue 2) Prestige Just like TCU some years ago, ISU could've beat Iowa or Texas and we still wouldn't be going. The ISUs of the world simply don't go to the...

    Keeping Campbell

    Seems like people are getting a little too excited. Oklahoma was a great win, no doubt, but CMC was not ISU's first coach to beat a top 3 team from the state of Oklahoma and the last one was fired. Fact is, CPR's win against OSU was awesome but he wasn't fired for losing to the Oklahomas and...

    Time to try ranking the conference once more ...

    Long time lurker here, we get it, you don't like his tweet. You don't need to bring it up in every thread. Get over it. We aren't a bad team because of twitter. I'd switch BU and ISU for now. I also think oSu and Tech should be closer, they played a close game.

    *** Official Iowa Vs IOWA STATE Gameday Thread ***

    It was over on the offensive drive near the end when we decided we were just going to try not to lose and stopped doing the things that were working. Instead, inevitably, we punt the ball away and put the game on our defense; a squad that had already given up 3 drives for 90+ yards. I'm sorry...

    Why do we play UNI?

    I remember Iowa fans saying this about us when we would sometimes beat them. I thought it was bs then just as this is bs now. Don't want to lose to an FCS team? Solution is easy, win the damn ball game.

    ***Official UNI Vs Iowa State Gameday Thread***

    I'm not in meltdown mode (I mean, this is ISU), but it looked to me like UNI didn't exactly play a good game either. UNI scores their last touchdown and kicks it out of bounds on the kickoff and then shanks the punt giving us 1:30 to score a touchdown. I don't think we lost because UNI is...
