Wow....Mangino it is
Best-case, dream scenario candidate all along IMO. Ten out of ten. Total disbelief and excitement from this Clone fan! -

How many wins will it take next year to keep you hopeful about the program?
Okay Danny Mac. -One was to an FCS team that actually should have beat us by 20. Doesn't count as a close loss. -Iowa DOMINATED us in every facet until the fans started to leave, you know, after the game was over. Doesn't count. -Tech was clearly the better team, we just got every break... -

*** Official Iowa State Vs Boise State Gameday Thread ***
So damn proud to be a Cyclone! Unbelievable what these guys have done in the non-con with so little experience together.- j4state

How many wins will it take next year to keep you hopeful about the program?
Five wins with the maximum of one catastrophic blowout loss would have me thinking positive going forward. To me it's more about how we lose than the number of losses, save of course the unforgivable FCS loss. The 2013 games like Baylor and K St, and to a lesser extent OSU and OU (2nd half)... -

Friday OT - Best barbecue in Iowa
Woody's all the way. Their brisket sandwich is one of my favorite meals in town. Good sides and complementary corn bread. Jethro's wings are terrific, otherwise I think their food is overrated. Smokey D's and Bandana's I would call average. Cactus Bob's, I have no idea what you guys order but... -

ISU Athletics tweet
Aside from the irony/sour grapes/little bro aspect of the piece, this "analysis" is hardly prophetic. Incredibly full of fail and makes no sense at any angle. -

Younstown Boys 30 for 30
Agree with this. It was a great 30 for 30, easily one of my favorites. The second hour seemed to be too much Tressel and Maurice coming out like the good guys. Some more objective angles would've been better than hearing from those two so much, to kind of let the viewer decide. After so much of... -

DO NOT RUSH THE COURT
Yes, it looked kind of lame. Old people judging college students having fun is far more lame, which is why I'm glad it happened. Also, you don't just go from depths-of-hell-McDermott-suckage recovery to "above that" in a couple seasons, so forgive fans that are still getting used to expecting...- j4state

Iowa State opens as a 2.5 point favorite over Iowa
Agree with this. I've talked with knowledgable Hawkeye fans this week that are bracing for the possibility of an ISU blowout. I thought 5.5 was an appropriate number, as others have mentioned. Not ignorant enough to say the low spread means nothing. I remember the Drake game a few years ago...- j4state

Poll: Grade the 2013 season
It was definitely an F until the 2nd half of the WVU game. Showing some real heart in Morgantown with the subsequent addition by subtraction OC move gives 2013 a passing grade of D. -

Next Year...random thoughts
Easy, Danny Mac. Three of those five were blowouts in disguise. -

TCU, KS Support
I don't see it as bragging, rather, explaining the rationality behind the thousands of us season ticket holders who may choose not be there. There are opportunity costs involved when attending an ISU game, as others have mentioned. Always have been. Those opportunity costs seem a little more... -

If Mess is OC next year, will you buy football tickets?
Season ticket holder since 2005. If Mess is back at OC there's no way in hell we renew. Even if we have a new OC I guarantee nothing from here - we can all admit he's not our only problem, just the most obvious one. Simply comes down to level of enjoyment from purchased entertainment not... -

Think injuries are an excuse? Check out Missouri
Tied for last I do consider last. Sorry if that's a stretch for some. It's not the losing games aspect (save FCS losses), as an ISU fan I can handle losing - it's the way we look when doing so that is unacceptable. I can stomach a 2-10 rebuild season if we coach smart and put up a respectable... -

Worst Iowa State Team Ever?
Couldn't disagree more. As much as the staff has to keep talking continuous improvements since week 1, it's not actually there. Let's not kid ourselves either, Iowa would still beat us 9 out of 10 times and UNI probably 5 of 10. At Jack Trice even. I can only speak for the past 15 years but... -

You say it's year 5?
Scares me when the defense logic starts to sound like it did during the McDermott fan divide. Pointing to this coach or that coach who magically righted the ship after previous palpable trends of suck. Yesterday was the lowest moment of the Rhoads era you guys. Rock bottom (I hope) in year 5... -

Fake FG in 3Q
This guy gets it. This fail had nothing to do with defensive holding or wind direction. Reminded me of the NU debacle as well. No problem with the call situationally speaking. Going for the TD when they least expect it - I get it. However, when you consider the requirement of a completely... -

MBA
If you're paying for it out of pocket/taking loans out I would strongly question whether it's worth it. Depends on your specific career goals. If you're with a good employer with plenty of upward mobility and they are helping you out - and you have the time and energy to commit, I'd say go for... -

How many years does CPR have left if there is no improvement?
Giving the best thing to ever happen to ISU football an ultimatum. Nice. Getting rid of Rhoads would be the worst decision in the history of ISU athletics - which is why it isn't happening under JP. We'd deserve to be the absolute laughingstock of college football at that point. Might as well... -

Is there a disconnect between this program and former players? Convo with Ennis
Yeeeah. Apparently @IASTATEAD's twitter rant is resonating with the fans.
