Oh I'm not advocating that Meyer was the next great thing. McCarney hyped him up quite a bit, and I think after his first 2 years everyone started to believe it. It's just shocking how not only has he not improved over his last 2 years, he has actually digressed. Probably lots of reasons for that.

Sage was money, though.

Leaders dropped the INT at Nebby.

Have you gotten help for this? Seriously. Sounds like you have an issue with handling stress. I had an uncle that turned to the bottle when he got angry and was not as fortunate as you. I sure hope this was a one-time event for you.

I think we'll all remember this year's seniors as the kids who almost took ISU to the Big 12 championship game two years in a row. The reason why so many are disappointed with them has a lot to do with ISU's nondescript history and how that could have all changed in 2004 or 2005. Eventually we will get there with Chizik though and it will be even sweeter when we do... partly because of how close this year's seniors came to breaking through. Just think about it. We would not have been able to hire Chizik if it wasn't for the success that Meyer, Blythe, Bowen, etc. had and the excitement they created. Had ISU followed up the 2-10 season in 2003 with another 2-10 season in 2004, Mac would have been out the door in 2005, and our new coach would not have been Gene Chizik.

I hate to be in the negative camp but I'm along the lines of StLouisClone... while this year's seniors definitly did some good things, they really stand out as the group that missed a chance at something better.

That aside, thank you seniors for your hard work these last few years

Remember when we played CU on an abnormally nice mid-November day?

While it's not a night game and thunderstorms are not expected, the weather will be very nice Saturday.

Bret Meyers long 70-80 yard touchdown pass in Ames to Jon Davis that melted the Husker people in their seats. The ball came out of the heavens right into Davis's hands without him breaking a stride.

**Wesley** · 11-07-2007, 10:18 AM

The Blythe touchdown catches (like the same play over and over) in overtime against Toledo in 06 and then their coach getting upset afterwards.

Don't say anything negative about anybody. It's all flower and bunnies around here.
