Didn't realize we hadn't won all home games in one season since 1917! It'll be a tall order, but definitely attainable.
(I don't know why she thinks K-State is a tough game. Granted, it's on the road, but they are in serious rebuilding mode.) |

No denying that. Now we just need to punish everyone else and that Baylor loss will dissapear. I concur. The Baylor loss is a fact and will continue to haunt us until we do something to make it be forgotten.
Hopefully that something is a positive rather than a negative. |

Credits: 248,878 | What ISU Can't Win a Road Game????
I would agree that ISU needs to play very well at home this year since we have tough road games against top 15 programs in Texas, OU and Iowa.
However, what makes the KSU and CU games automatic road losses?? Both teams have new coaches and are taking over programs that were in the decline. IMO both those programs are in serious rebuilding mode. IMO the KSU&CU road games are probably going to be easier than home games against Nebraska or TT.
Unlike Nancy Clark, I don't think the key to ISU's season is how we do home vs. road. IMO the key is how we do against Toledo, Nebraksa, TT, KSU and CU. If we go 4-1 in those games we will have a great season. We go 3-2 we'll play in an Independance type bowl. If we go 2-3 then we'll play in a bottom tier bowl game. | | | |
