Calling teams misspelled names like "Hoks" make us look childish.
Give me your most unpopular take about Iowa State
- Thread starter HGoat1
- Start date
And should that trump the fact our elite head coach has expressed his disappointment with the grass field?
That Kansas State game reminds me of another one: Rhoads has taken too much blame for that loss. If we don’t turn the ball over the last three straight drives or whatever it was, we win that game
And my hot take would be that artificial turf fields in outdoor stadiums are hideous. Hell, even Kinnick was better when they had real grass. There’s also a reason why Baltimore switched from artificial to natural.
On top of that, Iowa State has a great turfgrass program, and losing their main project would be devastating for the program.
Matt Campbell should get what he wants. If he wants grass, he should get grass. If he wants turf, he should get turf.
I couldnt give 2 ***** about the turfgrass program (again, how many of those are there?) and there are plenty of other turf facilities they can go maintain. Plenty of golf courses out there.
True, players have to execute, but I've seen multiple instances in which a coach didn't put his players in position to even come close to turning the ball over by making the sure the ball was as far away from the opponent as possible to bleed clock, and hand the ball to the ref to bleed the clock further.
To boot, he went off of some percentages chart for his decisions. Mac had some classics but holy **** was that some classic ISU **** that afternoon.
It’s sounds like the “Iowa State of old” mentality
“Hey, our top notch head coach was disappointed with the grass field this year. He wants us to do something about it.”
“Yeah but think of the turf grass program”
Yeah I like how the grass thing is still sort of unique in the current era, but if CMC says he wants to switch, it needs to be done by like noon the next day.
So does this go in with the wrestling and baseball discussion?
What's the enrollment for the turfgrass program, and what kind of other worldly effect does it have on the food I'm eating?

One of my former soldiers had a very different use for them. I guess they turned him on.
Return of the turf-grass debate on this page inspires what'll be an unpopular take: Even a coach who has shown some promising results probably should win a conference title and maybe reach a New Year's 6 bowl before getting carte blanche.
Battles was WAY better than HP
The best bar that has ever been created is Welch Ave Station. That's just a fact.
Peoples should have never closed. The live music and $.25 wings on Mondays were a Campustown staple.
FB tailgating is the golden goose. Zero doubt.
