    *** THE OFFICIAL MICHIGAN VS. ISU GAMEDAY THREAD ***

    Re: Are we patient to allow Hoiberg to learn on the job? Yes. I don't think we hire him if we are not going to give him a chance. I think the expectations were too high going in this year. All of that and we still would have had a chance against a ranked team if we shot well (6 for 27 from 3...

    Offensive depth and talent next year...really like what we have coming back!

    I really hope that with all talent at RB that one or two of the shifty running backs move to WR to give more big play ability - we need more shiftiness at WR and have lots at RB.

    ****Official Iowa State vs Providence at South Padre Invitational Thread****

    I am impressed with some of the progress that was shown today. White dominated the glass and defended well, and the team overcame a subpar shooting performance and won against a decent team (not at home too). Everyone needs to remember that we the two post players playing have no experience at...

    Defense

    Help defense has a lot to do with chemistry and we obviously do not have that defensively at all. I think that will come with time - I am not hitting the panic button yet. The team will probably not be an elite defensive team without an elite shot blocker but if they can get someone to disrupt...

    Player that Showed Up Last Night

    Here are the things that I noticed: LJ didn't give a cushion and played much of the night in Blackmon's face - typically most corners got torched deep when they tried this but LJ pulled it off.Blackmon was open at times, but they disrupted his routes and on many occasions forced Weedon to...

    NY Post says West Virginia to the Big 12

    Kind of unrelelated to this post, but I had to pass this along. I heard an interesting conversation about the sports world today which was helping to justify all of the chaos. Basically they were stating that the DVR is causing the television landscape to change. With masses of people...

    I'm All In!

    I'm in too. As long as the players are giving effort I am behind them and the coaches.

    ***Official aTm Prediction Thread***

    ISU 41 A&M 31 A&M is up 24-17 at half and blows another halftime lead with ISU getting touchdowns out of their kick return team and the defense with the defense forcing 4 turnovers. I am an optimist....

    How long does Rhoads have?

    He is a great coach and we are lucky to have him. Chizik left the program in complete shambles with no depth (he was a terrible coach here, but he learned from his mistakes but that is another story). It takes time to build a program - if coaches Rhoads cannot get us there with a few years it...

    ***Official Iowa State @ Missouri game(day) thread***

    Jantz has not had a chance. The protection has been terrible and there has been no running game at all to help.

    ***Official Iowa State @ Missouri game(day) thread***

    The game is not over. While we are not going to win hopefully we can build some momentum and give the coaches some things to build on for next week.

    Time to question the defense

    The defense is awful and that is just a big surprise to me. I was expecting that the defense would continue to make strides from last season and that the offense may struggle since they lost Arnaud & Robinson. I know that the whole team has been bad, but hopefully we can turn things around....

    ***OFFICIAL ISU - Baylor Post-Game Thread

    The season is not over - we lost to a very good team on the road who is ranked in the top 25 with one of the best QBs in the country. We are not getting any breaks at all and have injuries everywhere. I am not trying to make excuses - as I hope the team is not either. We can either buck...

    Paul Rhoads needs to upgrade the talent

    I disagree. The talent is much better now that it has been in recent years. There is a lot more depth now than ever. We still need a couple play makers and improved line play but things really are better now. I think everyone is forgetting how bad things were.

    Read Option

    I think part of it is trying to bait defenses into taking the RB every time and then make the QB a rare occurrence that can be a big play.... That's what I am telling myself at least. Plus, especially early in games I would prefer to have the RBs with the ball much more often unless the...

    Three Keys to Saturdays Game

    Keys for ISU: 1. Big Plays on offense. The offense is supposed to be designed to make big plays and will not be effective getting 4-5 yards at a time. They also need to keep the defense off balance - predictability would give Iowa a big advantage. 2. Force turnovers & negative plays for...

    ***OFFICIAL UNI @ ISU game(day) thread***

    I will agree - in my ISU history we have almost always found ways to lose these games.

    ***OFFICIAL UNI @ ISU game(day) thread***

    Close calls can often make a team better. How many times have teams had close calls like this the week before a rivalry game and gotten better from it? Plus, UNI is a great FCS team with tons of speed and they played a perfect game in the rain. I am not calling the season over yet. There...

    QB Jerome Tiller Academically Ineligable (Out for Season)

    It is just hard to understand. Plus - you would have to think that if you were close to ineligible you are either going to: A. - take the easiest classes on campus B. - retake classes to raise previous grades

    We are a very tired team...

    Well, we knew that there were going to be days like this. I am actually really impressed by the hustle the team is showing playing hard the whole time. Railey has also impressed me. It just wasn't meant to be today....
