    Road wins are fun!

    I know us Cyclone fans are not used to road wins, but we've won three games on the road in conference thanks to Otz and crew! It's been a fun season and with the way we're able to play on the road, I think we can win two more (I'm not expecting a win at Houston, but that would be sexy if we...

    Coaching Staff In The First Half

    It’s far too common that our coaching staff calls bland, lifeless plays in the first half then finally gets creative in the second half. It’s cost us so many games over the years and I don’t understand why we keep doing this. This was a winnable game if our staff woke up before halftime.

    Tom Manning Needs To Go

    Not much to say other than that. He’s the absolute worst and Campbell needs to have the balls to let him go. That play calling today was some of the trashiest poop I’ve ever seen. Tom Manning is as useful as a poopy flavored lollipop.

    Who was our mvp?

    I’m going with Reeder narrowly over Hutchinson and Brock being third. Defense clamped down when they needed to, but Reeder was a stud from the first snap.

    Blake Purchase Announcing 09-06

    Blake Purchase is announcing his decision today. I haven't heard much about him recently other than ND coming in late to the party to try and play spoiler. Hopefully since Myles Purchase plays at ISU that gives us the leg up, but he seems like Oregon's to lose. What does everyone else here...

    Morgantown roll call!

    I’m a DC boy (born and raised, yet went to ISU), but will be heading to Morgantown on Saturday. Who else is heading to the beautiful and friendly city of Morgantown for the game on Saturday?! I’ll be tailgating with my girlfriend, my friend and his wife that are WVU fans, and my coworker that...

    You fans rock!

    I’m in a good mood and tipsy, but that was a great win and I’m happy and enjoyed the Gameday thread chat with you all!

    Anyone Else Feel Like This Season Is Already A Letdown?

    Expectations were huge. UNI was bad, but pulled it off and we had a chance to redeem ourselves against Iowa. Turnovers killed us. UNLV was a good win, but my mom could pass for 250 yards against them. Today was a complete bust and ended any hope us fans had of rebounding. Special teams...

    First Time Back In Iowa Since 2009!

    Hey, CF’er’s! Thanks to some helpful people, I was able to score some amazing seats to the game tomorrow. I have not been back since graduating in 2009 and will be flying into Ames this evening. Hopefully I’ll get to see and meet some of you. My friend and his family will have their own...

    EDIT: Greg Gaines Is A Cyclone!

    Greg Gaines is still scheduled to commit on Saturday. It almost looks like it's down to Iowa State and Indiana with Iowa State being the favorite here. How does everyone else like our chances of landing this guy?

    Stadium Advice Needed, Please!

    Hey, guys! For the first time since graduating in 2009, I am coming back to the beautiful state of Iowa for the big game between ISU and Iowa! The stadium has obviously changed a ton since I graduated, so just wanted some input on which sections people recommend. I'm bringing my girlfriend...

    Final Ranking?

    I see us finishing 7th. What say you?

    Who Actually Wants To Coach In Ames?

    I know Iowa is good, but Prohm is a complete disaster and can’t make a single adjustment. It seems like his days in Ames are numbered. That being said, who actually would want to come to Ames? I feel like TJ likely doesn’t want to come to this disaster that a guy like Prohm would leave this...

    Crazy Scenario...Does ISU make it to the playoffs here?

    Before anyone says anything, I know this is a crazy scenario, so I'm not posting to debate that. I just wanted to see what everyone here thinks about if this happens: Current Playoff standings: 1. Alabama 2. ND 3. Clemson 4. Ohio State 5. TAMU 6. Florida 7. Cincy 8. Georgia 9. Iowa...

    Why 98.9% and not 100% to make the ‘ship game now?

    What would it honestly take for ISU to not make the championship? With a 98.9% chance, I feel like it’s going to take the wildest of scenarios for us to miss out. I’m curious what it will actually take for that to happen.

    Does Kolar Come Back Next Year?

    I’m trying to piece together how ridiculous this roster is going to look next year. It seems like Rose and Purdy are going to come back, but the big question is do you guys see Kolar coming back for his senior season? I feel like he’s going to likely go, but wanted to see what other’s here are...

    Okie State Postseason Ban

    Looks like the NCAA is cracking down on Oklahoma State with a one year postseason ban for accepting bribes for recruiting of Cade Cunningham. Oops. While it’s nice that they’re punishing Okie State, it baffles me that they still haven’t done one thing to punish Kansas, UNC, or Arizona, who...

    Seriously, what the f**’?!

    We lost to FAMU? What the hell is wrong with this program?!

    Help Me Understand Going For Two

    ISU was manhandling Oklahoma in the 4th. I was yelling and unhappy before the snap. Why would you go for two and not just take the tie and use your momentum to try and win in overtime? I think Campbell is great, but this was a bad decision.

    Morgantown Roll Call

    Any other CF'er's going to the game tomorrow in Morgantown? I work with an ISU guy and two WVU guys and we always make the trip from DC to Morgantown for football every other year and basketball if the game falls on a weekend. If any other CF'er's are coming, we are all going to be tailgating...
