So is a discontent loser. Difference is I'm happy and you aren't. I'll take happy in this case.

You're not happy because you have no sense of humor about how bad Iowa State football is yet again. You're a fake.
That's crap. Baylor wasn't tanking in the second half. They were still playing and you can bet your *** that they wanted to put up 70 against Iowa State.
The team showed me something in the second half last night.
If you look at my post history, you'll know I'm an Iowa State fan and always have been. I don't let bad losses bother me all that much. I was very critical of Messingham at OC and I've always been critical of Rhoads's inability to establish a clear direction for the offense.
I don't like losing, and gain absolutely nothing by defending Rhoads. I defend him because I'm not sure there's a better coach for Iowa State. If you can't understand that then I truly feel sorry for you.
If I had a dog, his ribs would've been sore right after that. I'm glad I don't have a dog.
A 6 year old would know better.
They ran in the second half because it was working, not because they were taking their foot off the gas. We were covering their receivers pretty well and their throwing game wasn't working as well as it normally does.
Not a better coach? It wouldn't take much to surpass what he has done here. He has won 2-3 big games in 6 years.
For the most part --- ditto. We have different coping mechanisms. Mine is gallows humor and vodka tonics. Been an ISU fan since mid 60s. Too old to learn any new tricks. Peace.
It's hard to win here. It's hard to win here against the schedule we currently face. Not impossible, but a challenge. Chizik couldn't do it, McCarney would not be successful in the current Big 12, Walden, Criner, Duncan. Earle Bruce is the only coach we've had in the modern era who I think would be doing better than Paul Rhoads now.
So with that I ask you, who could we hire who would do better than Rhoads has. Remember, CPR did go to three bowl games in four years.
Why would anyone leave at halftime of a 17-7 game? Last night was 35-7. Huge difference, and the way CPR ended the half, I dont blame anyone for leaving. ISU had 50 seconds, and two TO's. Should of tried to score knowing you got the ball to start the second half. ISU played scared.
I agree. And that's why all the boos rained down. Rhoads was afraid of the score getting worse.
