But this is true. They still have a shot, which is unbelievable to thing, say, and type.
My fondest wish, beyond ISU being very successful, is for EIU to follow Nebbie's dive into the burning dumpster of college athletics.
I don't want to jinx it but this feels like it COULD be the very start of something so beautiful - I may weep tears of joy.
LMAO they've literally ran the same offense going from KOK, Greg Davis, and now Brian. KOK and Greg both fell on grenades for Kirk yet nothing changed. It's hilarious to watch.
Ah, the good ol' days of 60s & 70s Iowa football. It's a shame the rivalry wasn't happening at that time. We would've racked up a lot of wins.
Yeah, they'll be puffing their chests again after they take down the mighty Wolf Pack (NOT North Carolina State).
For those of you old enough to remember the Hayden Fry era, this is feeling like the '98 season which was Hayden's last. The game kind of passed him by, and that's the same feeling I get with Ferentz. There's still a long way to go for this season, however, so who knows.
No credentialed beat writer should be banging their hands on the table and saying that the fanbase deserves to know why Petras is still the starter. Shut up and do your job like asking tough questions but throwing a fit on a radio show is cringe. How has that fan base not come to grips with the fact that Iowa just doesn't have a QB? They saw Padilla last year and his numbers were worse than Spencer's.
I was just thinking about this very thing after the game this weekend. Iowa State's program is much better than they were in 1998, but ISU stopped a 15 game losing streak to Iowa in Kinnick that year and Iowa went on to go 3 and 8 and Fry retired.
Also, I remember a Hlas article in the Gazette that morning of the Iowa/ISU game that mentioned the only way Iowa State could beat Iowa in Football that year was on an episode of Fantasy Island, or something like that. "Da plane, boss! Da plane!"
Meanwhile, a live look-in at Kurt in his office:
A little bit. That year the longest Cy-Hawk streak was broken. They struggled to score points in a lot of games that year but their defense was worse than the current one so far. They ended that season with 4 straight blowout losses and 6 blowout losses overall.
Mac did them a favor by just running the football in the second half. That could have been a 41-9 game otherwise.
That last team under Fry was bad. His last couple of recruiting classes were not good which was reflective in Kirks first couple seasons at Iowa. Iowa DOMINATED the in state recruiting at that time and Kirk hauled in some really good Iowa kids that helped turn the program around.
Good grief I don't know how you can complain about the officiating when they tried to gift Iowa a chance at overtime. Like Big 12 officials have been so kind to Iowa State over the years.
LMAO about this article coming out the THURSDAY after the game. Jesus they are insufferable.
Jamie has some Big 12 apology letters he could send to Kirk and Gary.
