    The Ghost of Dan McCarney

    I was very disappointned in the loss on Thursday. Not overly surprised but disappointed all the same. The thing that is most troublesome for me was this looked exactly like a Dan McCarney coached team. We were incredibly vanilla and conservative on both sides of the ball. A couple times, I...

    Goodbye bandwagon fans

    If you are going to whine about other fans, at least be accurate. The mass exodus began at about 5-6 minutes left after Culbertson missed his second field goal of the game. The game was over. I stayed but I could completely care less if others left. Sorry if they failed to meet your expectations.

    Where did you grow up??

    There were 3 O'neil boys younger than me, John, Joe and Tom. They were pretty good athletes. I think Joe is the head track coach.

    ISU lineup shaping up

    I expect some changes in the defense from the original depth chart but I think this will be our offense. Tailback could show a few changes between Scales and Bass but I do not see any other changes on offense.

    mjones34's Ranking of winnable games

    Do we have a running back with more than 21 career carries? Possibly Scales who cannot stay healthy. Does that mean our running game will be as ineffective as KU's?

    Smith starter at MLB?

    Everyone seems to have Bibbs penciled in at MLB. In JUCO, he was listed as a DB: 6bibbs and as a recruiting prospect on rivals he was listed at outside: Michael Bibbs - College Football Not sure if that matters in how Chizik will play defense but nothing that I found indicates he is a MLB.

    Let's be honest, where was McCarney taking us?

    Mac certainly enjoyed success at ISU and took us to levels we have never been to, mainly because of our poor history. But when I think about his time at ISU, the biggest thing that comes to mind is underachieving. It seems like every year we lost a couple games that kept us from being a great...

    Avalos: "Chaplain issue must never die"

    I think you missunderstand or underestimate the impact of Chizik's Christian faith on his success on and off the field. I think Gene Chizik would tell you he is exactly where he is at and who he is because of his faith and trust in Jesus. You cannot separate his personal religious convictions...

    Avalos: "Chaplain issue must never die"

    I support this position for 2 reasons. One, I am an evangelical Christian and do see not a problem with making a chaplain available to the football team. I think Christianity has a great deal of positives to offer. The second reason I support it is because Gene Chizik, our new football coach...

    Christian Domestic Discipline

    I think it is natural to see God through our personal experiences. Sometimes I put God in a "box on a shelf" only concerned with Him when I need something. Sometimes I question the fairness of God. Sometimes God seems close and sometimes distant. What I have found through my personal experiences...

    Christian Domestic Discipline

    Just out of curiosity, what is the source of your beliefs on God? They do not see to come from the Bible but what you want God to be like.

    Christian Domestic Discipline

    Sorry for the delayed response. I do not think this is a worship question but instead a core belief question. If I understand what you are saying correctly, I would call what you described a salvation by works belief. I think there are a couple issues with that doctrine. First, just how virtous...

    Christian Domestic Discipline

    Cyclone62, You have certainly posted your beliefs and opinions on the various religious topics that have come up lately. I am not sure that I have seen your thoughts on eternal life. Just curious as to your beliefs on eternal life. Do you believe in a heaven and a hell? If so, how do you...

    I think that you can respectfully disagree with other people's choices and religion. I think that you can respectfully think they are making the wrong choices and should consider other alternatives. I appreciate your honesty. It sounds like a lot of your struggles come from your experiences...
