*** Official IOWA STATE vs Memphis Liberty Bowl Game(Day) Thread ***

[CycloneErik]

It’s early and no need to panic. But the fact that we continue to come out so damn flat and unprepared against tier-down opponents is a bad indictment on where we are and how far we still need to go. Memphis shouldn’t look like the Ravens bending us over their knee.

I have to disagree. As Cyclones, we absolutely have to panic. It's written into our DNA. We panic like regular people breathe.

What the **** Noel?

Things going from bad to worse

Good Lord....

 

[Thomasrickj]

That kickoff return was absolutely dumb

 

[AllInForISU]

We aren’t running the ball on them most likely. Their pass defense is one of the worst in the country. We should be able to light them up. Their rush defense is much better.

How dare you use logic

 

[UnCytely]

I'm guessing it won't be long for the "fire campbell" people to make their voices present, even though the game is nothing more than a glorified exhibition game.

It is what deservingly happens after a humiliating loss.

 

[FarminCy]

WTF. Finding new ways to look unprepared.

 

[atlantacyclone]

…. Aaaand some bad special teams for the trifecta!

 

[AgronAlum]

Jesus Christ Noel

 

[Prone2Clone]

Holy nuts, it's getting worse.

 

[CycloneErik]

At least he didn't spike himself.

Noel losing 10 yards on that play. Go home.

 

[Darius Bieber]

What worse things can happen? A pick 6?

 

[Jeremy]

Sometimes we seem to need to get punched in the face a few times in order to settle in. Not sure what that is about, but we usually settle down once we've stopped the bleeding. Hope this next drive does that.

I feel like we’re stuck in a revolving door and can’t figure out we’re pushing the wrong way.

 

[CYedUp]

Are we trying to look terrible on the national stage

 

[CloneIce]

I’m sorry clone dude, but arguing that we’re “abandoned the run game” after one possession. - a handful of plays in a short series that began and and ended with a run, is ridiculously stupid.

You can dumb this all you want but that was the dumbest ******* take I’ve ever read.

Here comes a 3 and out followed by a quick Memphis score.
