We always play like carp when playing in Boulder. Our lack of depth will be greatly tested with the thin air so that game definitely bothers me.

It makes a big difference
They should bring oxygen as I don't think you can develop lung capacity in a week

It seems like we are not banged up anymore than the teams we are playing.

We'll be the favorites for Colorado, likely by at least 10. Probably not Mizzu though even if they get blown out this week.

Doesn't mean I'm not worried about Colorado though, I won't count them out of pulling an upset.

You know, I'm not too worried either. What a wonderful feeling to be like this.

Yeah, we lost a heatbreaker, but I agree with the sentiment that broken hearts are best healed by kicking a**.

Flashing back to '08, I never thought I could feel this good about Cyclone football. It's wonderful, and I hope we can finish the season with 2 wins and really show the nation we're for real.

Let's go State!

I think the thin air is definitely a factor. For both our football and basketball teams. We never have good luck in Boulder in either sport. I would imagine we have oxygen on hand, but I dont know that for sure.
Boulder always scares me.

I think the Missouri game will be much like the Nebraska game, although I do not think it will go in to over time. It will be a close game with both teams playing well, hopefully we pull out the win in this one.

I expect us to beat Colorado.

**ketelmeister** · 11-07-2010, 01:39 PM

Colorado is always tough out there for Iowa State, we need our A game. Not worried about Mizzou yet.

I don't know how you can't be worried about this game against CU.
Senior Day
There will probably be 35,000 people at the game (stale environment)
CU has a couple close losses
IF CU wins their last 3 games....they will be bowl eligible.

Exactly. I'm confident about the game, but I wouldn't say that I'm not worried about it.

Remember that they were up 45-17 before their collapse. They have potential. As long as we give them reason to doubt themselves, I think we'll be fine.

Saturday against the Cyclones isn't Senior Day at CU.

CU has done a good job of getting people in the seats this season. What I mean by that is when you would expect 35,000 in the stands, they have been getting closer to 47,000-48,000.

**Erik4Cy** · 11-07-2010, 04:54 PM

I want this win against CU a lot, because it will really get the bad taste out of our mouth. I want to see Iowa State come out as a team with something to prove.

**CrossCyed** · 11-07-2010, 04:55 PM

People are completely underrating Mizzou. We struggle against teams with good QBs.

-Careful...

We should beat up on CU. Doesn't mean we will - we definitely need to bring our A-game to Boulder. If we're not careful, the teams we are supposed to beat will sneak up on us and beat us. I believe Rhoads will keep our guys level-headed and ready to play.
