Well ... to the basement we go

Ok guys hear me out. Would you rather be an OU fan today or an ISU fan today. No you can’t do neither.

Absolutely an OU fan. Not only do you go to a big conference with way more money, you are a blue blood program with major history. One down season isn’t the end of the world for OU.

Lol we are not the pond sediment of CFB. We are so far removed from that. I don’t disagree that this was a disappointing day and last Saturday was disappointing as well. But we are not as bad as you are saying we are. Not even close. I’m disappointed just like a lot of you but some of this stuff is so over the top it’s comical.

Fans are simply alarmed that we lost our two best chances to win Big 12 games and we can’t score against the worst defense in the league. I think a bowl game is a distant dream at this point. However, I wouldn’t be surprised if they turn it around…

First time to CF after a loss?

A historically bad program having their first bad season in a long time isn't shocking and just about every coach has bad seasons following sustained success.

That said, ISU lacks basics and that is something that should be established no matter what.

We need to win in the margins.

Losing to TCU like does not give one faith entering into the SEC

Lol nope but the irrational takes are almost to a comical level at this point I couldn’t help myself.

Managing to score 11 points against Kansas would be worse

 

[mkadl]

I believe there is a pattern of close games. Great defense.........................

 

[cyclones500]

Just like old times. Going to take a freaking miracle to salvage a decent season. Oh, but we beat Iowa. Hope I have egg on my face in a few weeks but this smells like "that" smell.

ISU could beat Iowa, OU and Texas in the same season and not go to a bowl. That'd be historically historical.

I said we WERE. Are you even paying attention to us losing grip of what we HAD in our hands after Oregon?

 

[CycloneErik]

When was our last 5-0 start? It sounds fun.

Now THAT would be some weird ****. Possible though.

We need to win in the margins.

It should be the hallmark of the program instead of just talking about it.

Anyone who follows football knows programs like KSU and Iowa, if nothing else, were very sound in their approach. ISU needed that established and it has yet to be the actual thing.

 

[trevn]

Ok fair point on saying we WERE the pond sediment.

 

[Inthesystem]

I really hate it but we look like a bottom-feeder right now.

 

[Darius Bieber]

I really hate it but we look like a bottom-feeder right now.

Definitely. Can the season still turnaround and maybe make a low tier bowl? Sure. But the way we look right now, we aren’t winning another conference game. We managed 11 points against Kansas.

 

[Lineup]

bottom feeders

 

[cyclones500]

Half of the league is going to be clustered between 3-6 and 6-3 this season (maybe one-third in the 4-5/5-4). Would be cool if ISU could find a way to get to the 4/5 win zone. There for the taking, not confident.

It's Oklahoma State's title to lose at this point.

 

[NoCreativity]

JFC, you guys are insufferable. Everyone predicted 6-6 or 7-5 all off-season, now we are right on schedule for that and everyone is having a nuclear meltdown.

I told you guys this would be Kansas's Super Bowl this week. They just sold out last week against Duke.
