    The players are now saying what I want to hear

    Listening to the announcers, I know one was Simon Miles, they kept repeating that every loose ball went to UT. That is where I hope the change comes from. Too many times we lost the fight to win possession.

    Can't believe the team will miss the tournament

    Naz, Burton and Thomas have been inconsistent all year. If they can all get hot at the same time this team could be unstoppable. The problem is, that hasn't happened. We get exposed with our soft middle and can't fight our way out of it without at least two guys on fire. All we can hope is...

    700th game at Hilton Coliseum

    Johnny jumping David Moss back in 82-83 after he fouled Randy Brewer from Minny and got l up for T. We ended up winning the game but Johnny was animated to say the least. This was back in the day when students sat behind the bench. Always great seats.

    Tonight's Kansas-Iowa State Officials

    Smith missed 4 calls in a row during the out of bounds fiasco. I don't think overall they were bad but they were just blatant misses that he should have seen. The palming call on Monte was another one that bites. Myaafjlkjaflj or whatever his name is had one where he had the dribble start...

    Baylor #1 in the AP Poll for the first time ever...

    I was surprised KU didn't jump them with the easy win they had and BU's struggles in both games on their home floor. Plus the fact that, well, they are Freaking KU.

    End of Game Situations

    That is exactly what I was thinking. We have had a problem scoring in the last 5 minutes with Fred and Prohm. This isn't something new. Georges gave us an option we don't have this year but I can still remember getting frustrated at our end of game performance with both coaches.

    Girl, Where Do You Think You're Going?

    Is that Matt Damon in the background?

    Why do line up so far off the line?

    INSIDER: Some nuggets in the RB position/future at QB

    Half the people could have called a better sequence AFTER the play. The last play was a perfect call but Park failed to execute. It kills me how people can say "I would have called that differently" after the play. Isn't hindsight grand? Reminds me of the Peyton Manning commercial a few...

    So, where do we go from here?

    The absolute only positive I saw out of this game is we gave up less than 30 points. The offense got manhandled and we didn't have an answer but the defense managed to stonewall them for the first 25 minutes. UT out-athletes us at every position according to potential by the experts. Years...

    Improved Tackling

    You didn't watch OSU's first touchdown then. I can't remember if it was Peavy or who but the threw at the legs and the receiver just bounced off and waltzed into the end zone. There was also another play the runner hurdled the defender. Over all I think we were better but it is still not all...

    Debate: Are we seeing an improved program, or more of the same?

    One more thing, and I pointed this out in another thread, is we have to get a TO or 2 in the fourth. When we had success, we got them. Would we have beat BU if Jones makes the pick? Would we have won if we cover the fumble Saturday? Our big wins over the years have been a result of timely...

    Debate: Are we seeing an improved program, or more of the same?

    I am on the wait and see just because I have seen this movie too many times and have too many scars from years past. Do I WANT to believe. Hell yeah I do. I think they have proven they can play with the big boys but can they close the deal? Only time will tell. I am just waiting for the...

    Years when Iowa State has avoided the fourth quarter collapse.

    I know we had a little success with Lanning running early in the second half but the play calling either went exclusively that way or Lanning was doing the read option every play. Plus Lanning's arm appears to turn into alligator arms late in the game. He is only 20 years old but I hope they...

    Years when Iowa State has avoided the fourth quarter collapse.

    You probably need to get to your local Cyclone gift shop and pick up an official ISU nutcup. If you are following our football, you're gonna need it.

    Trevor Ryen is it ankle or knee?

    I know they made a quick announcement during the game his ankle was hurt but I thought he was holding his knee. I don't see any threads on this. Anyone got some news.

    Years when Iowa State has avoided the fourth quarter collapse.

    We will never win these games without better defensive results. What I mean is unless the D can get a turnover we just melt away. Go back and look at our big ones over the years and there is a turnover late in the game. Plus look at our most successful seasons. We had a D that came up big...

    Late hit outta Bounds

    It was the 3rd and 18 play. Russell was running left and the OL for BU was holding onto him as Russell ran left. Ref couldn't have been 3 yards from the play. Russell gets 14 yards and BU converts the 4th down and later scores. It was a blatant hold. No way for the ref to miss this one. I...

    Different Feel After Baylor Game

    Hey, We scored in the second half. That has to be worth something.
