    PREDICTIONS: Iowa State vs. Texas

    Texas jumps out to a good lead in the first half as ISU fights the pressure of the Thursday night prime time. Cyclones chip away in the second half to make it close and put themselves in position to make one or two more plays for the win. Something cosmic and never-before-seen in a football...

    *New Uniform Thread*

    I liked this combo until you pointed out that the stripe pattern on the pants does not match the stripe pattern on the jersey. Now I can't unsee it. I'm also just noticing the gray on the shoes, socks, and sweat bands as well. Agree that the gray face mask is the key to making the whole thing...

    Harbaugh complains about Purdue locker rooms.

    Michigan can probably afford to travel on Astrotrain.

    Advice for traveling to Norman on 10/7

    If there weren't video evidence, I wouldn't believe that we've ever beat Oklahoma.

    MONDAY MUSINGS: Will this time be different?

    All that could've been avoided if the offense had scored a TD instead of a FG on their last possession to give ISU a 10-point lead instead of a 6-point lead. (But, there was still ~3 minutes left and we'd probably have found a way to blow a 10-point lead in that amount of time, too.) We've...

    Who do you stop? (Cyclone Offense)

    Not that it matters in any way whatsoever to this conversation, but we started 1-0 in the Big 12 in 2015 (against Kansas).

    MONDAY MUSINGS: Will this time be different?

    The circumstances of this game feel similar to 2011 but I think the outcome will be more similar to 2013: We compete hard and make some enormous plays to carry a late, one-possession lead into the final minute. But we can't pick up a first down or convert at the goal line when we really need...

    2017 St. Louis Cardinals Thread

    **** the bed against the Cubs but swept the Reds. 1.5 games behind Colorado for the second WC. They can still get it done, but I don't have much confidence they'll do any damage in the playoffs even if they happen to qualify.

    .

    The all-golds look better for schools who have a blue/navy as their primary color since yellow and blue complement each other well. The all-gold with cardinal is too garish and -- dare I agree with Hawkfan -- Ronald McDonald-ish. I think the all-gold would look fine if it were predominantly...

    Where are the TE's????

    Obviously we're saving the TE game plan for that crucial moment at the goal line when we need 6 to beat OU at the last minute.

    My kingdom for a retro Walking Cy decal on a white helmet. Just once... preferably in a game that goes well for us.

    Can we talk about Nebraska?...

    Husker fans should be accosting their own AD, who voted WITH Texas, Texas A&M, and Oklahoma against revenue sharing because Nebraska wanted theirs and didn't want to dilute their income by sharing it with also-rans like Iowa State and Texas Tech. When their empire crumbled by their own doing...

    BayLLLLLLLLor Now 0-8

    This just proves that they'll have 550 yards and 80% completion when we come to town. ESPECIALLY if they have defections (backup QBs are our greatest kryptonite... see: Missouri 2005, Kansas 2005) or an interim head coach (see: Colorado 2010 and Kansas 2014).

    Pathetic. Team cannot hold a lead.

    That 2011 Iowa team that still went bowling even after losing the Cy-Hawk game in OT also benefited from: Coaching consistency (it was, what, year 12 under KF?) 3 other non-conference home games (Tenn Tech, Pitt, and UL-Monroe) A Big Ten schedule that placed their highest ranked opponents...

    The Sunday After: Iowa (Instant Classic)

    The tackling in space was especially discouraging because that was something I feel like we've been pretty decent at over the last few years... but I'm probably just cherry-picking from memory. In addition to Wadley's TD, Iowa converted several long 3rd downs from simple dump-off passes because...

    ISU opens -9.5 over Akron

    I think Montgomery has a strong and very productive homecoming in the first half, which will hopefully give Warren some reps to get his legs back under him. Montgomery is a physical freak and I love him but we're gonna need a productive Warren at some point this year.

    If any program would lose to an otherwise winless Baylor, it would be Iowa State.

    Honest Reaction and new prediction on year

    A 5-7 finish, while still not qualifying for a bowl and making us wait another year to see more development, is still objective progress compared to the last few years, and demonstrates that our execution, preparation, and talent has continued to improve. Still have 10 more games to go this...
