For those of you in Omaha and Western Iowa, 1620 is going to have an Iowa State spring practice report - up next after the break. |

Well considering we won 3 last year, they aren't far off.

do they realize just how easy our schedule is. Its not like we are playing Texas and oklahoma or Texas tech. We have Baylor win. Oklahoma state win. Texas a&m either way.

WOW... maybe Im just tired from the end of the day and you were being sarcastic.
I think we lose all three of those games, and Im normally very optimistic.

I'm sure a lot of it is on who we didn't beat last year moreso than who we play this year. Look at our non-conferences losses, the loss of key players as some skill positions and you have to realize that number isn't far off. I think we finished the season stronger than it looked over all, but, we can only hope and wait and see. | |

OSU might be the best team in the Big 12 South next year...

I think what he is trying to say is that our schedule is easier and with a 2nd year coach with a much improved team. 6-7 wins would be a good goal. | |

I think there is an automatic brain twitch for some ISU fans that instantly think W when they see the baylors and okie states of the world on the schedule, b/c they are baylor or okie state, and not the sooners, longhorns, or red raiders. I used to be the same way sort of, but nothing is a given with ISU football, ever.

No reason not to realize that a win is a possibilty. | |
