We beat the same team by 30 last year in Ames (a 4-win team). They’ve gotten better and we have regressed. That has nothing to do with scheduling.
Neither are the same team though.

"isn’t as clever or as witty as you hoped"
That's a pretty spot-on assessment of the OP.
The question everyone should be asking is WHY haven't they fixed the offense?!?
There was a time in 2017 when they scrapped the entire Cyclone defense because Akron ran for 150 yards on them in a half. And they did it in two weeks, successfully, and never went back. They were willing to do something different to win.
What happened to that? Maybe nobody in any of the offensive rooms has the credibility with Campbell that Heacock does when they say something needs to be done differently. But watching the offense bang its head against a figurative 8 and 9 man brick wall week after week is pretty disheartening when you know they've shown the ability to revamp on the fly in the past.
They can't even say the offensive schemes are an issue. I'm not hopeful something can be salvaged at the moment.
Iirc that decision was made during the 2nd Big XII crisis?
WaldenEverything about yesterday felt like the last days of Rhoads.
No...it was scheduled quite some time ago.....at least 5 years ago. Heck, the @ Arkansas State state game for 2025 was scheduled in 2014.
The “rot” may have set in, but the redundant post and new poll where the responders are led isn’t as clever or as witty as you hoped.
“My opinion is special and warranted another thread”
Wasn’t that around the time the PAC was trying to take Texas/TTU/etc?
And yet here we all are in the same house. How wonderful.
You......you want to wait a couple more years? And do what? Expect fans to come watch this crap?Bottom line. Campbell is going to be given at least a couple years. ******** will not change reality. And reality may be that we really are the coaches graveyard that inevitably gets all Cyclone coaches….unless you leave when you get the chance. Majors had a losing record his last year with George Amundsen at QB. And Earle left just as Hayden was hired. Earle took Ohio State job and was fired. Finished up at UNI and Colorado State. That is a helluva fall.
Campbell will either figure it out or in a couple years he will likely be gone if he does not. Best for all if he figures it out. We’ll see what happens.
Nothing to gloat about.I saw this on Twitter yesterday too, people gloating that they were the first to recognize how bad things are, like a journalist insisting on credit for being the first to break a story. Congrats, I guess?
Elicit.I find that if I can illicit these kinds of reactions it’s pretty much 100% certified that it is clever and youre just mad.

He's had the same problems since the end of 2019!
Now, after recruiting classes have entered since then and are close to graduating, he is going to finally do something different?
