OFFICIAL POST GAME THREAD -KU vs ISU

superfan · 10-04-2008, 11:59 PM

A little late thought after reading post-game quotes.

Even Mangino thinks we're going places:

I thought Iowa State played extremely well. I’m very impressed with Iowa State. I think Iowa State is Kansas five
years ago. They played hard, they play tough. Their coaches are sticklers for discipline and detail.

So... who here wouldn't be happy with an Orange Bowl win in about 4 years?

Tough way to end the game after a great start, but I really feel like this team will become more consistent as the year wears on. I'm more confident than I have ever been that next year will be a very, very good team.

Keep your heads up, ISU has a great future. Coaching staff is impressive. Sumrall's a player and Kurtis Taylor gave us trouble all day. He's one of the better Defensive ends I've seen. You have quite a few wins still on your schedule.

Agreed. It starts next week.

I've gotten to the point where I'm tired of trying to take good things away from our losses. It's been that way for years. Having said that, I don't feel that will be the case much longer, and from the looks of it, neither does our team or staff. It's great to see effort like I saw today. Even though our record doesn't necessarily reflect it. We are a good team. I completely agree that we are a few plays here and there from being 5 - 0. Woulda coulda shoulda. I know. We aren't 5 - 0. But given the fact that we have a young team, a coaching staff in their second year, and we are playing to win, I feel more confident than I ever have about ISU football. The coaches are getting the best out of our players.
It's great see.

To all those who are 'tired" of comming up short, all I have to say that Mac is gone and the program had to start from scratch. So there will be more to endure, and its part of the process. Strap yourself in and realize that this team/this year will show lots of promise but inevitably only tease us.

I knew(we all should have known) kansas would collect thier points yesterday and i didnt feel exceedingly safe up 20-0. Had Arnaud not fumbled the ball away late in the 2nd qtr, and ISU gets 7 then i believe KU throws in the towel though. ISU just isnt able to play strong for a full 60 minutes.

If they show marked improvement similar to last years progression, then we should get a glimpse of them playing a complete game vs B12 competition late in the year.
