    Biggest Letdown in Cyclone History?

    Really - how many times have we been top 25 and lost to a non power five team to start the year. Easily tope 3 loss.

    Median boomer retirement account $144,000

    How exactly did u get that assumption from my statement? I clearly state they will pay under a total income tax. The only way they wouldn't is if their income had no gains or had not been deferred- which is practically no one. Also in previous posts u talk about not being able to bring down...

    Median boomer retirement account $144,000

    Your big assumption is any tax is only against current 'wages' which is a faulty premise in my opinion. I would guess any tax might be against total income - in which case these same people u say would not pay anything would pay a considerable amount given significant income has been deferred...

    Has Campbell Plateaued?

    I 100% believe him. Just struggling to see getting over the hump when we really did not improve over the course of the year - and in reality slightly regressed the last 4 or so...

    Has Campbell Plateaued?

    So you are saying our ceiling is an 8 win team. Just want to make sure I understand.

    Has Campbell Plateaued?

    I think you may be misinformed as well. Kirk inherited a bad Iowa team, went 1-10 his first year and by year 4 started a 3 year streak of 10+ wins. As much as I want I am having a tough time seeing 10+ wins upcoming given how we closed out this season and struggled with details, OL, and ST...

    Can we get a QB sneak installed in this offense?

    He has had 4 years to put together a decent line. This is 100% on Matt. 4 years is enough to have a decent line.

    STAFF PICKS: Iowa State vs. TCU

    One could also talk about the UNI and Drake games where one key play in each saved this team from real doom in the last 12 months. I have seen nothing from this team to warrant believing they can beat a solid football team right now. Over the last 8 games they certainly have #ProvedIt to me...

    MUSINGS: Takeaways, and where to go following Saturday's loss to Baylor

    Interesting write up. One thing I keep hearing from CMC is the great effort and character this team has. Beginning to wonder if this team is mentally weak as that has been a lot of sunshine being pumped the first 4 games (2-2). Which would be very surprising given how many returning starters...

    I am sorry - Kum by ya my lord, Kum by ya. Holding hands and singing has made me see the light for this game. I take back anything critical I have said.

    *** Official Colorado vs #7 IOWA STATE Game(day) Thread ***

    Www Typical putz - what a canned reply. If I am not cheering at the top of my lungs I must not be a cyclone fan. You holier than now fans are amazing. I gave a critical evaluation of a game - nothing more or nothing less.

    *** Official Colorado vs #7 IOWA STATE Game(day) Thread ***

    This is exactly why people are having a problem with this - same thing as last year. Half a game of effort and win against an inferior opponent. Did not learn a thing from UAB.

    *** Official Colorado vs #7 IOWA STATE Game(day) Thread ***

    I don't care how good of a defensive coach he is. Bottom line is this looked a lot like last year (25 min of hard effort) and shows me all the talk about learning from UAB and other similar games last year is a bunch of bunk.

    No Varsity Letter for Special Needs Student

    To both of you and everyone else on this thread ( only a few) who cannot see this was a heartless decision, I feel sorry for you and any child you are raising. We are talking about a worthless piece of fabric which means nothing outside the world of teenagers. If this coat and 'letter'...

    I left 7 years ago and am so thankful for saving the $14k over that time to spend on my family on activities we could all enjoy activities not related to sports.

    *** Official Farmageddon 2012 Postgame ***

    Underdogs is not the only factor. We had a chance the take a step to being a truly 'ranked team', and fell short again like so many other times in the past.
