Observations and apology

[Jambalaya]

People have GOT to get over K State. K State is the absolute rarity. That doesn't happen everywhere. K State got very lucky with Colin klein..

Snyder didn't get lucky with Klein and knew exactly what he was getting. He designs an offense around the players he has--to perfection. The old man knows what he is doing

Ron Prince recruited Klein.

Bill Snyder is probably the single best college football coach of all time. I agree we need to stop pointing to him/K-State.

It's like a middle aged couple who has never saved for retirement saying "See that guy in the paper who won the powerball? It can be done without saving"

I do not know how to look up previous recruiting classes but I swear I saw KSU had 2 classes in the last 4 or 5 years that were between # 90 and 104. I thought their top class was something like the high 50's.

I sure hope ISU has some more depth at LB, WR and OL next year along with an actual QB that would start another BCS school. Am I asking too much?

People have GOT to get over K State. K State is the absolute rarity. That doesn't happen everywhere. K State got very lucky with Colin klein. I doubt even they had any idea he would turn into what he has and guess what? You take Klein off that team and they probably have 3-4 losses and are scratching to stay in the top 25.

Serioulsy, if I hear or read one more person compare us or anyother team to K State I'll lose it. Of course that'll be all I hear from now until old man river retires in 2032.

This is all I can think of right now:

Captain O'Hagan: I swear to God I'm going to pistol whip the next guy who says, " Shenanigans."
Mac: Hey Farva what's the name of that restaurant you like with all the goofy **** on the walls and the mozzarella sticks?
Farva: You mean Shenanigans?
Mac: OOOOOOOOOOOOOO.
Thorny: OOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

I share your disappointment and frustration with the offense. It clearly isn't going anywhere.

We got sucker punched on the Wishbone tribute play. Texas told the sports world that the wishbone was coming. We lined up on defense, yielded a 47 yard pitch back reverse pass play and never recovered. Just like the announcers said several times, we weren't in the game.

One thing I have not seen anyone comment about is the fact that our offense is a hold over form the Chizik death era..... Nothing that guy touches doesnt rot away eventually. We need to purge the system (yah I know everyone was running it and it was the hot thing) get rid of the last of chiz'z footprint.

yesterday in the post game show someone was talking with CW about how TX didnt run the read option, that they quick huddled and ran what plays the want it a jet tempo. My light bulb (albeit very dim) went on. WOW what a concept run your own plays instead of letting player that dont understand the system come to the line, try to figure what the hell the d is going to do and then completely change your play to match what is probably a faux line up anyway. Genius.

Dont see anything wrong with the video i am so tired of the bs that happens here. Oh were poor old iowa state we cant recruit like everyone else are facilities are sub par our god damn endzone isnt bowled in. Ill tell ya what i know some of these players on this team not to mention the twitter accounts. These kids dont care about winning alls they are worried about is getting a free ride a select few using us as a highway to the nfl. They dont care for example last week they had a damn party after a loss. Im not gonna mention who was there but there were many key players there. Its a joke im tired of being mediocre and mediocre is an overstatement

Rob Gronkowski Dancing: Patriots Tight End Goes Crazy At Club Following Super Bowl Loss (VIDEO)
Remember Rob Gronkowski after the super bowl? I doubt any of our players do stuff like this. Settle down, I think many are loyal to ISU.

You need to look past number of wins to see progress. Look at the computer rankings over the last few years and you will understand we are making lots of progress under Rhoads

^^^ not on offense

BUT that being said I dont want a CPR change, let me make that VERY CLEAR.
