Purdy was in the orange bowl? I mean if he played in the fiesta and orange bowl that year, then it really is quite an accomplishment!!!

I don't understand why nobody mentions this for one of Campbell's accomplishments.
Frankly, I'm angry that I missed the whole thing.
From what I heard, that Orange Bowl game was real and it was spectacular
Thank you, Al, for continuing to beat this drum. Frankly, it blows my mind how FEW Cyclone fans actually make a big deal of this. Conferences got forced to implement championship games due to financial pressures and the supposed need for the "13th data point." But it truly added little competitive value to the B12 during the round robin years.
ISU finished alone at the top of the standings after a true round robin. That was good enough at one point for football, and there is a regular season and tournament champ in basketball. Yet ISU football gets no hardware or official recognition for this historic feat for the program.
It's total horse crap.
Hopefully they don't let Rocco see that.
He tends to sail his throws when he's all jacked up so he'll be Uncle Ricoing Lincoln.

Two great #15s who ran the offense, one 4 year starter, the other 2 year transfer.

No reason they have to be in some kind of competition. The two four year players in question were ALL OVER the Big 12 record books when they graduated, I mean completely all over the place. Even with the covid year Monte still is top 10 in a crazy number of B12 stats.
If Brock and Breece aren't retired jersey all-timer types we probably just won't ever have any. I'm not sure I'm taking Troy Davis over Breece, it's a discussion. Brock is easily the most productive QB in ISU history.
It feels like the ultimate "we're shifting the goal posts to **** Iowa State" move.
There's absolutely no reason to not recognize a regular season champ in football when we actually determine one.
Even including the CCG it was basically a dead tie with OU and the head to head slightly favored ISU by 2 points. It's semantics. Both teams had similar dominant wins in their bowl too.
Yeah, it's like hoops. At least back when it was an exact dead even schedule an outright regular season champ really is a champion of something for sure, probably moreso than the ccg.
Now with the potential of wildly unbalanced schedules (even more next year) in FB I'd say only the CCG winner really matters other than a few years when a team or two might get hosed from a weird tie break scenario.
I remember thinking that video was incredible when it came out, and when you compare it to the one that just dropped, it's wild to see how much the camera work and production and all of that has come in a decade. The world has changed more in the past 10 years than I sometimes realize.
I'm rarely optimistic, but feels like we curb stomp KU.
First home game in 30 days, seems like the team still has a chip on their shoulder, national broadcast, night game, rowdy Jack Trice, Brock Purdy, KU coming off a huge win, offense hitting their stride....
If I'm wrong... I'm never documenting optimism again.

Didn't even think to realize that part of it. Night and Day difference now for sure.
He qualifies. Graduated and earned all American status. Isn’t that the requirements?
I think they have to get into the hall of fame first. We’ve run into this in basketball over the last few years.
It would be pretty cool to get a good Brock Purdy cheer going whenever they bring him onto the field. Do it like a Cyclone Power one with the east half doing Brock and the west half doing Purdy.
...and in the grand scheme of Iowa State football, that's probably like the 2nd best resume someone has.
