Smartest/Dumbest financial decision you've made
Worst: Getting a college degree from ISU that I wasn't really interested in and then getting addicted to the idea of going back to school to do something else. During this time I also married a woman with 5 digit credit card debt and a nasty spending habit. I, myself, had mid 5 digits of... -

SEC Myth - Iowa Nice Guy
I don't think we have to assume SEC bias over the last decade, it's pretty evident. They were the only conference that actually had a team (or both teams) in the NC game since 2006. Why should that be the case? The P5 conferences (especially the best teams in those conferences) rarely play... -

Why is everyone blaming Richardson?
He's not a bad quarterback and I think he's giving it his all. He did have a good first half and I've seen flashes of high level play from him. The problem is that he's not the QB I'd pick if I had to march my team down the field with 2:30 left. He's just not that kind of QB and that... -

We can still make a bowl game
For that matter, why does everyone assume a win against KU? They very nearly pulled off a win against OSU today and have the same record we do. Not sure if any of our games are a sure thing. -

Pollard Calls Out Big 12 Officials
This. Game day with lots of upsets means we were in the news for about 30 seconds. Now the only people that will remember or care are people who have a reason to be resentful (the ones that already voted against us apparently). -

Worst Defeat Ever?
Eh, we lost another one big but it's just one of many. Turns out CPR isn't going to lead us to a Big XII championship, probably ever, but I never really thought he was. ISU has just never had a program destined for greatness and a winning tradition. Blame it on the climate, the lack of a... -

Williams: A Liberty Bowl Letdown
Eh, I think CPR is doing about as well as I was expecting. We are a less than average team and that's where we've historically been. I'm really not concerned that we go 6-6 or 3-6 in our conference (which is the more important measure IMO). Every once and awhile we'll pull off a real upset... -

Grade the 2012 season
D+. I would say any team that goes .500 is just average. However, we were less than .500 in the Big 12 and had some bad home games. That lowers the grade to a C- in my opinion. A terrible bowl showing drops the grade to D+. I don't care about injuries, QB play, schedule, etc, etc, etc... -

Does Alabama Deserve a Rematch???
Sagarin says that BSU has a tougher schedule right now than Stanford. If this remains true through the end of the regular season, I'm assuming an undefeated Stanford should also be left out. -

Does Alabama Deserve a Rematch???
A very mediocre WVU team put up over 500 total offensive yards against LSU's defensive mastery. We make fun of defenses in the Big 12 for doing that. Alabama is 68th in the nation in passing offense, LSU in the 100s. Even ISU boasts a better passing offense than LSU. Defense becomes... -

Does Alabama Deserve a Rematch???
I think it's crazy that anyone would want to see a rematch of the BAMA-LSU game. Yes, both teams have great defenses. However, neither team has a particularly good offense. In fact, this problem is endemic to the SEC. The only teams to put more than 11 points on the board against LSU were... -

The most frustrating part for me
It was more than just officiating that lost us the Baylor game. They had 20 more first downs, almost 200 more yards total offense, 200 more yards on the ground, and held the ball for twelve minutes longer than we did. The score initially was close because of some Baylor fumbles, but it was... -

The most frustrating part for me
As a long time Cyclone fan, I don't feel that losing is a problem. I've been a Cyclone fan long enough to expect a loss. Well-fought losses are no issue for me. I think the issue people are having with the losses this year is simply that they were not well-fought. We lost the Texas and... -

Time to go the Snyder Route?
I think the interesting stat from that page is the time of possession. Near the top of the list you'll see KSU with an undefeated record and near the bottom you'll see us with some less than stellar performances. If we conclude that we are just as able as KSU to recruit athletes, maybe we...
