Poll: ISU -3 vs Baylor
- Thread starter ClonesFTW
- Start date
I want to win this one bad. There have been too many where we should have won or they screw us over like tent gate in 2021. I don't want to lose one we should have a chance to win.
I also want this one pretty badly. Being 4-1 in conference, after the offseason we had, and an eventual bowl(which gets way easier if we win tomorrow), would be a massive step for this program, especially going into a realigned conference where ISU is an upper tier program
Get your nut cups ready. The large line change. The amount of sharps and Joe's on ISU. This is going to be the classic kick to the nuts game.
And they seem to get info that most don't get.
I know they used to have undercover assets on campus to find out inside info.
Campbell teams at ISU have only won 1 game after a bye (I think- looked at it quick while on my run this morning). I figured he would be better after the open weekends but record has not been great. Hope he breaks trend.
What about the 1-4 Baylor record at home this year? Funny how know one brings this up. They have minimum home advantage.
Well done. Didnt even pay any attention to this. Waco is still weird, but this is rare for an aranda team to be this bad at home
Yes. One of things I was cautioned about in grad school was how inside (corporate) information was shared outside. It's very real. My competitors knew I was selling out before it was announced and seems like within hours of the decision. I likewise was able to use my connections to obtain info. It's called the real world. Probably not exposed to it in small town IA.
I was referring to your statement that sharps have people on campus feeding them inside info, as i was unaware. Clearly inside info is always shared. Also wasnt aware Des moines was small town Iowa, but hey you learn something new every day

He's not a stellar prep guy, for sure.
Your stat makes me wish you focused more on your run.
Bingo, last year in Ames, during the first TV time out one of the refs walked up behind one of the Baylor coaches and started giving him a shoulder massage. Swear to God. Had I not been in the upper deck I would have tried to snap a picture.
It's a dumb stat. Look who many of these post-bye games have been against....Oklahoma, Texas, Oklahoma State.
2022- OU- 13-27
2021- KSU 33-20
2020- Ranked OSU 21-24, KSU 45-0
2019- Ranked OU 41-42
2018- Tech 40-31
2017- Texas 7-17
2016-KSU 26-31
Record: 3-5
So not as bad as I initially thought but still lower than his win percentage total.
My dive into this was bc of Williams and Blum hyping up the coming off a bye week. I didn't think it was as advantageous as they were making it out to be.
I wouldn’t call it dumb - more misleading without including context. The point is fair though, I recall lots of post bye week games against the upper teams in the league.
