    Liberty Bowl Ticket Question

    Hey guys, I bought tickets through Iowa State (ticketmaster facilitated the transaction), and had a quick question. I received an email saying "We've Got your tickets", and it shows the section, row, and seats (2) for my Dad and me. However, when I click on "Manage Tickets", it doesn't show...

    Post Farmageddon: Sunday Thoughts of Game

    This is unequivocally Matt Campbell's best coaching season. Lose 5 starters in August, lose a QB in the offseason, hire a bunch of new coaches on offense (coming off a bad bowl-less year), and we circle the freaking wagons to 7-5. I'll say Fiesta Bowl win year was the most successful year, but...

    Sunday Thoughts: The Pulverizing of Provo- BYU Thoughts

    As has been discussed already, most will point to 2020 as Campbell's best year coaching. This one to me has to be tied for first. New offensive coach staff, 5 starters lost in freaking August, and a new QB. Just an incredible job and I'm so happy he is our coach. Offense It is not...

    Game Thoughts Cincinnati

    I thought we could grind out a W, but it was shocking to see a borderline blowout yesterday. The team is playing with more confidence, cohesiveness, and has unlocked a swag that is fun to see. I did not like the crew on FS1 much. Seemed less complimentary to ISU but whatever. Here are my...

    Game Thoughts TCU

    So happy to see an electric Jack Trice Stadium on TV during the win. The fans, Campbell and staff, and the players clearly wanted a W badly for the legacy of Jack Trice and his family. We didn't just beat anyone, we took a team to the woodshed that was in the playoff last year. I understand...

    Game Thoughts Oklahoma State

    First of all, what a relief. I think we showed today that we can beat some teams in the middle of the Big 12. Baylor, TCU, Cincinn, Kansas, BYU are winnable games I feel this year with that kind of offense. Offensive Positives Jaylin Noel I owe a sincere apology, he was a massive difference...

    Iowa: Game Thoughts

    I really hope this is the last year of the Ferentz regime. The Offense (Positives, Negatives, and what I'm neutral on) - Positive: Abu Sama has some real potential. Only had 25 yards as Norton got the lion's share of carries. But anyone who knows football can see that this guy has some...

    Game Thoughts: UNI

    What I liked overall today - - Offense Ben Brahmer sure looks like our next TE draft pick doesn't he? His first catch is a 35 yard+ TD. Man he looks natural as a route runner. Abu Sama to me had a great run of 25 when our offense was a little stale. He has more wiggle and "make you miss"...

    Offensive Coordinator- Ideas

    1. Western Kentucky OC Ben Arbuckle. They averaged nearly 36 points per game https://wkusports.com/sports/football/roster/coaches/ben-arbuckle/811 2. Tulane OC Jim Svoboda. Averaged 33 points per game. This would be my preference as he is from Denison Iowa. He would have to be interested...

    Game Thoughts: WVU

    Offense Hunter D. was just smooth all day long. 2 td's no picks 67% completion. His game gets instantly elevated with the threat of a run game. Speaking of which, I thought Norton was tough and especially strong in the red zone. He needs to be our inside the 10 RB rest of the year, even if...

    Big 12 New TV Deal - Huge Positives

    Pete Mundo gives a fairly insightful analysis here in the first few minutes on the league's new tv deal. He is somewhat of a K-State nerd, but his analsysis of the sport is pretty spot on. This is exactly why we hired Yormark. In a cutthroat era of modern semi pro (I mean college) sports, we...

    Game Thoughts OU

    Offense We are making it so easy for defenses to defend us. Averaging 2 ypc (even less for some rb's we had today) is a recipe for disaster. Teams feast on our 3rd and longs and we do not get to second and manageable and third manageable enough. Dekkers: he had a couple really bad picks...

    Game Thoughts: Blue Chicken Team

    Defense: - They get an A. Holding a KU potent offense to 14 points is just plain impressive. Corners were solid, LB didn't give up many big runs in the second half at all. - MJ Anderson a bright spot with a sack. He's a junior so it's nice to see we get him for several more games and next...

    Ohio: Game Thoughts

    The great, the good, and the just so-so. I. Defense Their best total game I thought. B/C SEMO is more limited and Iowa on offense is just plain pathetic. We made a good offense look poor today. Orien Vance's best game this year: 1 sack, a qb hurry, and a tackle for loss. Great to also see...

    Game Thoughts SEMO

    Offense: - Xavier Hutchinson looked as good as I have seen an ISU receiver look in a game since, maybe ever. He isn't as tall as Lazard but has excellent speed. If we aren't throwing to him 10-12 times next week against you know who, we aren't doing it right. He could be in the running for the...

    Tarique Milton Lands at Texas - your thoughts?

    I. It will be that much sweeter to beat their ass yet again. II. I never thought I would see the day when TX goes after someone who played at ISU, then had to leave ISU b/c of playing time. In all seriousness I am happy for the kid but wished he would have landed at a school where he doesn't...

    Craig McDonald lands at Auburn

    Thoughts on this? I thought Brian Harsin was just about to be fired any minute? Smart to head to a program where there will be a new coach staff soon.. my goodness.

    Evolution of ISU Offense

    Hey all. If anyone has down time in January (and we know that you do), I encourage a great podcast that's about an hour from Levi from WRNL, Marchie Murdock, and JD Waggoner. I love the pods on this site with Williams, Blum, and J Stanz. But these guys are great every now and then...

    Clemson Game Thoughts

    I'll start with the good: Defense Zach Peterson - he had at least 1 tackle for a loss and made a few other disruptive plays. Would be awesome to get one more year out of him. Not a sack guy, but just a warrior in run defense. Beau Freyler - could be the best safety to ever play for us? 15...
