I would agree for the most part. The problem is that now the B12 is so tough. It's as competitive as it was in the 90's, except we are more competitive because our talent is also better then that time period.Quote:

:biglaugh: @ this thread.
I stand by every player on this team .... even .. um ... what's his name? ... the guy who misses all of those kicks?

Heck, baylor teams much worse than this beat us at jts.
Maybe if we do something illegal like Barry Switzer did... and Chizik ...and etc. (buy the players he needs) typically a QB, RB, and a receiver... we might be able to pull a rabbit out of the hat. ...but until then
Please remember that the class of 2011 is the first real recruiting class from start to finish for this staff!!!! How many of them are actually playing right now? Have faith Cyclone Nation, have faith. We are a work in progress.
ISU is alsways going to need to upgrade talent. This team has talent on it. The gap isnt as big as in the past vs other teams. This team needs to learn how to win games. Its not the talent that is losing games.
I don't think you are remembering how much talent we didn't have for decades at ISU, now if your Cheeeezik at Auburn you pay for better talent in a paper bag in a dark back street alley, but if you do things the right way you get a three star recruit (thats all we probably ever will get besides the occasional 4 star), and you have to develop that player into a four star talent.
This takes time, this takes coaching and this will mean that we will feel like we are in transition for 4-5 years until depth and talent is established. ISU is better than it was under any other coach so far. Just because we lose a couple of games doesn't mean it snowballs into every game this year we lose...(see Dan Mack teams)....CPR is changing the talent and the culture, that isn't done overnight.
We should be talking about upgrading our BIG12 Officiating talent.............
you ship jumping p.o.s. why don't you go buy some hawkeye attire. every posting you put on here about the clones is something negative. go to hawkeyenation.com and stay there. don't forget these are 19-20 year old kids playing this game. **** happens. did you win every game as a player? or were you in the band, just ******** about how bad the team is. coach rhoads is by far the best coach we've ever had. not even f'n close. period.

talent, and coaches , players who can hang on to the ball!!!
We would be in the top 5 talent wise in the big 10.
This thread is idiotic on multiple different levels.
This (if true) helps ISU in what way? Some of you guys need to forget about Iowa and the Big 10, and worry about the Cyclones. The constant references to Iowa make Cyclone fans look like the jealous little brother.Quote:
