*** Official ISU vs. Texas Gameday Thread ***

[Daserop]

On a positive note I think that we now have more yardage than they got in the 1st quarter....

The only positive is that this game is on the LHN so nobody saw it

[CycloneErik]

He certainly isn't good.. Has he been starting the whole season or was there an injury that I'm forgetting about?

Cliff Stokes is in for Jansen Watson. Just began last week with Watson's injury.

I for one blame myself for having high hopes this season... I shoulda known better...

i predicted 5-6 wins. spot on with that one. oddly i think we lose to kansas and beat wv. it kind of felt like this would be the year to take another step with so many senior leaders. opportunity nearly lost on that one. too bad we don't have knott.

[Stewo]

This is exactly why I look forward to basketball every season. They don't even make it interesting.

[MIClone]

I don't blame the defense at all. You can't expect them to manufacture momentum over and over. We freaking have 7 points against a TERRIBLE defense. If we had Tulsa's offense--or Northern Illinois or Utah State's we would have way more than 7 against Texas right now.

[cyson]

Were going to have to get a big linebacker for the middle next year. George is too small.

[xboxfever]

This is one really bad team. There is literally no talent anywhere. Since Knott's been out, A.J. looks like crap, the offensive line can't block, Steele is trying, but can't do anything, Messingham makes Tom Herman look like a genius, the defensive line is one of the worst in the country, secondary is laughable. But stars don't matter.

I need more synonyms for pathetic...

What's another word for thesaurus?

[CychoCyclone]

I learned this lesson a long time ago.

I'm so stupid that I force myself to relearn it every year... I always see something in the team that makes me feel like we got a shot... oh dumb dumb me...

[istater7]

He certainly isn't good.. Has he been
starting the whole season or was there an injury that I'm forgetting about?

No, Stokes was put in last week when Jansen Watson got hurt

[gocubs2118]

Is there any harm in letting Richardson finish the game?

[MIClone]

Iowa State has become famous for second half collapses over the last decade. I'm now doubting that we win another game this year, even though each of our last three games were entirely winnable.

[theyork]

You are right. He's getting zero help from the Offense coordinator because for some unknown reason, the offensive coordinator actually trust Steele to be able to complete a pass. Mess is terrible and so is Steele. I'm telling you, there is going to be a hole in my wall if Steele enters this game again!

prove it.
