"...winning away from Jack Trice will be a must if the Cyclones want to go bowling."

Understatement of the year.

We should try winning more games at home to. Winning home and away would be a good combination for success!

I almost always think that CFN hits the nail on the head. Good stuff...

Is it a month and three days from today yet??? No? D'oh!

Good ol' Fiutak, always takes a pretty fair look at ISU. I think he was more upset than I was about Iowa being ranked and ISU not after the 23-3 woodshed beating a couple years ago.

From what I hear, winning does help a team get to bowl games! Has anyone else heard this?

**Phaedrus** · 07-25-2008, 07:47 AM

Not only that, but scoring more points than the other guy leads to winning!!!

Whoaaaa, slow down the cart.

I hear that sometimes, the team that doesn't turn the ball over wins some games, too!

CFN is about the only pre-season write up i put any stock into...pete f always seems to know his college football!!

**jumbopackage** · 07-25-2008, 09:19 AM

About as accurate an assessment as you'd ever expect to read.

**mizouse87** · 07-25-2008, 09:45 AM

excellent write up. I think he nails this analysis. There's chance for upsets, must compete with our equals, always has a swinging chance. All statements accurate. This season is one giant question mark in my eyes. I can see us going bowling, yet I wouldn't be surprised if we only won 4-5 games either. This is basically the definition of "re-building." There's light at the end of the tunnel, and we're walking towards the light!

**cstrunk** · 07-25-2008, 09:55 AM

Pretty good analysis. Even if we win 6 games there's a good chance we won't go bowling, but it would still be a great accomplishment for this team.

Bowling....you want to talk about bowling..... Bowling?

**Cy Hard** · 07-25-2008, 09:59 AM

With the 2 million different bowl games slated for this year, if we (or any other team for that matter) gets to 6 wins will be bowling this year.

**wheels686** · 07-25-2008, 10:12 AM

Im gonna go with 8 wins this year. No one expected Kansas or Missouri to do anything last year and nobody expects us to do anything this year. We are starting to get the talent in and I think next year will be the year we break out. With our schuele 8 games isnt out of reach
