CPR can put this in the large, framed, lighted case in the locker room where we put these predictions every year.

So every year we will surprise.

i don't think that there is a lot of difference between ISU and KU, TT, KSU, BU and for that matter MU without their good QB. It is easy to pick ISU last, but I just don't see it happening. CPR is just a good coach that will find a way to win games.

How about that team that finished last in Texas, Can ISU beat them early at Jack Trice

That's a pretty ****** writeup.

**Aclone** · 01-08-2011, 04:09 PM

all three coaches have proven to be underrated

What, exactly, does that mean??? Talk about worthless gobbledegook.

I stopped buying preseason magazines a long time ago. They usually have half the information wrong, and you get the distinct impression that they spend about 27 seconds on each team not named Florida, Alabama, USC, etc..

Thanks for the laugh... really needed that!! Athlon is a total joke... hyping they're the most "accurate" over the past five years, give me a break... Problem with this type of publication is that they don't do the picks themselves. Give me Phil Steele any day of the week, at least he's got the guts to do it all himself and he's usually way more honest than the other rags like Athlon. I'd be willing to bet you we've been picked last in the North for a good ten straight years, cause they only know the top ranked teams and pay lip service to anyone else... see the write up for KSU, KU, and ISU's lack of coverage, what a joke!

Cam Newton. And those come once in a decade, and if Steel Jantz is that I will wet myself. I mean it.

Seneca Wallace....that is all...

I dont even really care about this. Just more reasons for this fan base to look at things like the glass is half empty............

If ISU gets lucky with Jantz at QB, I think ISU can go to a bowl game. If the QB play turns out like I think, dead last is about right. We will battle KU for that. Will ISU stop RG3?
