[Run Faster]

Appreciate all the hard work the CF staff has put in! The coverage is second to none!

 

[CycloneErik]

Solid picks by the staff, with the exception of @Fitzy, but I think that's a gambit to fight a jinx.

I'm glad, too. I'm not ready for a world where Jeff Woody wouldn't pick us to win tomorrow.

 

[Cycsk]

@Fitzy must be destroyed!

 

[SCyclone]

@Fitzy good work counteracting the jinx factor. (Of course it'll work.)

 

[Blandboy]

None of the media picking ISU; got 'em right where we want them!

 

[jsb]

I'm a little concerned with Jay picking us. Seems like bad karma

 

[CyCloned]

Lots of great stuff. I really like the podcast with Jay Jordan. As he pointed out, all you have to do is look at the Baylor game 2 weeks ago to see that the Sooners are better, but not unbeatable. Baylor had several guys out with Covid, but still pretty well shut down OU. Rattler threw a pass right to a BU DB and he let it go right through his hands to an OU guy for a TD. Baylor also sacked Rattler several times. Look for McDonald to get more snaps in this game if ISU can force OU into passing situations.

 

[CycloneErik]

@Fitzy must be destroyed!

Yes, of course, but he has a purpose this time.
Give him this one, destroy him later.

 

[Cyclone06]

I think we need to see a picture of Kolar’s lego Jack trice stadium.

ISU 31, OU 24.

ISU will get rushing TDs from Hall and Purdy. Hall goes for only 90 yards rushing, as the OU defense keys on him. Purdy throws for 300 yards and finds Kolar and Allen for receiving TDS. Assalley makes a 32 yard FG.
