So close to being a solid team.

3 wins over us,kansas and north texas. They lost to BYU 41-7. Not sure anything meaningful can be deduced from losing to them.

I agree, that's a pipe dream. This 2-5 team has three almost certain losses still left on the schedule. Texas Tech and Kansas are the only games that we will likely be competitive in.
At some point,* games like these are no longer flukes. It's just who you are -- not good enough to win because we don't have enough talent, coaching, and brains. It's not going to change anytime soon.
*Actually, that point came for ISU 20 years ago, but the point stands.

Actually, when we played a TX team last year that was actually decent (8-5 with a bowl loss to Oregon), we were right in the game but lost due to inexcusably stupid play (hail mary, anyone?).
This TX team is worse. They lost to BYU 41-7 at home. And once again, we lost due to inexcusably stupid play. It's kind of a pattern.
I'm going to say at this point in the season Texas is playing better than they were when we played them last year. That of course is my opinion, and you can disagree with it if you'd like.
Uhh, I'm pretty sure it been the same story for all 100+ years of ISU football... You are not an ISU fan because you want to cheer for a team that will win many games on a consistent basis.
We shouldn't pay our coach 2 million dollars then. Just have people volunteer to coach and play.
If you look where Iowa State is in the conference standings and where Rhoads is in terms of pay compared to the rest of the conference they are in pretty much the same spot.
