As a Vikings and Cyclones fan its a win/win for me tonight. However, let's be honest. The absolute ceiling for this Vikings team is an outside chance at a wildcard berth with likely a bad first round loss. So I'd rather see Brock tear it up.

My internet went out at home with the storm last night. It had better be working when I get home. Been looking forward to this game for awhile.

Grew a Viking fan as well but loyal forever true for Purdy. He’s gonna tear the Vikings a new one and it’s gonna be glorious.

It will be interesting how they do with the injury situation but they could still win 20-13 or something since it's the Vikings.

Really wanted to go but just couldn't logistically pull off making the trip for a Monday night game.

Seems like I'm in the minority and a lot of Iowa State fans are making the trip.

This is a huge game for Brock. Not the best outing last week and a lot of people are ready to throw him to the wolves. Putting on a show in prime time would be huge.

Sounds like the 49ers fans travel well anyway, but ISU fans have to be huge for this game. 43% would be amazing.

49ers will be without Williams (the best offensive tackle in the NFL) and Samuels (probably the best receiver in the NFL). While McCaffrey will play, he has a small tear in his oblique muscle so I'm guessing they may limit his carries.

Bottom line is Brock won't be operating with all of his weapons and he's going up against a defense that has the highest blitz percentage in the NFL. The Vikings will try to pressure and confuse Brock all night long.

Headed up there with my 10 year old. He's a Justin Jefferson fan, so he will be wearing his jersey. I'll stay neutral in my Iowa State football gear.

The worst thing that could happen from the Vikings stand point is they lose a close game. That outcome would encourage them they can still be relevant this year. So as a Vikings and cyclone fan, let's go Brock and the 9'ers.

I disagree on Samuel being THE best WR in the NFL.. top 10, maybe.
