ISU @ Houston/Big Monday

[inCyteful]

Sounds like a plan. Let’s do it!

 

[IlliniCy]

I'll go there.

Win these 2 games you win the conference.

Yes, huge IF but I have seen huger IFs.

Agree 100%.

 

[Cyismymonkey]

Agree 100%.

Absofuckinglutely. Time has come.

Let’s get TTU first Saturday. That isn’t going to be a cake walk.

Feels like the mother of all trap games.

their giving us false hope by saying Washington could be out, too. that would be a big loss for them. BUT

he'll play.

I'm not sure "trap games" are as big an issue for this team. When was the last time this team wasn't ready to play?

Honestly it feels like every time we have someone from another team out there ends up being someone else stepping up in that role that goes off for a million.

So if he plays, he plays.

Two really tough games in a couple of days. At least we play early on Saturday.

Get the W on Saturday, Shower, Ice, Rest, etc.
Sunday get a flight to Houston
Monday, play like road dawgs and beat the cougars.
nice break during the week to come home to beat WVU.
Ranked Top ~5, 10 days from now after beating Texas Tech, @houston, and WVU. 1st place in the Big12 with 4 games left.

Yeah, that's a tough turnaround. We go from Tech at home to Houston. No joke. Houston goes from home game against Texas, to home game against ISU.

Glad to see they made the right choice. Bumping Texas and K State is the cherry on top, those two coaches don't get the big stage to throw their fits.

Cincy was the trap game. We kicked their ass.

BYU?

 

[Drew0311]

Wonder if they bring Bilas in to do this game?

He would just talk about how Kansas is the best team in the league sitting down in 4th place

This X10. We can't let Taco Tech come in and steal one in our home court. We had better be ready!!!

Agreed. Ala Tamin-less ISU @ TCU. Guys step up. I’d rather Washington play at 75%.

Was it TJ’s first year that Tech came to Ames with like 6 players and put up a hell of a fight? Different coach and 2 different teams, but expecting a dog fight.

 

[cyatheart]

No chance. ESPN can't alter start times without 10 days notice.

It's locked.

Great call.

 

[cyatheart]

I’m going to this game, and of course 8pm makes it almost impossible now.

 

[ESciGuy]

Wish I could. I've got a presentation I have to give in front of a couple hundred people Tuesday morning that I'm already anxious about. This should help calm my nerves. Probably not going to get any sleep.

No worries -- the adrenaline will kick in

 

[Cydaddy]

Only game that matters right now is TTU. Just win.

 

[NorthCyd]

Only game that matters right now is TTU. Just win.

For the players yes. Fans can think about whatever they want.

 

[CYDJ]

While I want to win incredibly bad, I have to keep telling myself that it will be ok if we lose that game. We've overperformed this year and it's been an incredibly fun year, this one game won't define our season as coming in none of us would have expected to have a chance - and we have a good chance. Our guys are locked-in, bought-in, and geared up. It's going to be a tough game, but we can do this... and it won't end us if we don't.

No, no , no Jeremy. If we lose that game we suck again. Until we don't again.

That is the proper see saw to ride here.
