*** Official IOWA STATE vs BYU Game(Day) Thread ***

[NoCreativity]

I told her sports mean more in the Midwest because there aren’t as many other attractions like mountains and beaches.

Partially true, I think people are obsessed with college sports in Iowa because we don't have any pro teams.

If you have ESPN+ check out BYU post-game. Butthurt arrogance abound. Not a lick of credit to the victors.

What was that about… They must have a lot of missionaries there, because it made no sense.

The Mormons spend a lot of time and money on the Pacific islanders.

What was going on with their grass? Do they not believe in nitrogen fertilizer? Turf looked like it was there but just large areas where it was yellow and putrid.

The weird part was it was a mess but it was their mess. You would think they would have less trouble with it than us, but it didn’t seem to affect us.

Did Cooper play against BYU? Playing against Texas?

DNP last night but the announcers said CMC said he could have played but thought it better to hold him out another week. So sounds like he will be ready to go against Texas next Saturday and we'll really need him against their stable of receivers!.

I was just going to post this. I haven't listened to the whole show. But holy ****, you'd think those commentators would be a bit more humble after their October and November.

And I think it would be easy enough for them to say something like moving up to a big time conference is hard, but we'll get there.

Quick observation I made that made me smile: On Sama's second TD, they showed a replay from a camera from the opposite end zone that showed a lot of Iowa State's sideline. There's a point where a spirit squad member is bent over, pointing to the end zone and waving her pom-pom like she's a third base coach waving the runner home. Love it when they're that much into the game.

The game, condensed into under 2 hours:

 

[flycy]

Several,years ago, we were up 28 - 0 at the half KSU. won 35 - 28.

99 I think.

 

[HawaiiClone]

99 I think.

Getting rid of Manning was a blessing, play calling is lights out

Another thing of note...Campbell has yet another winning conference record. His conference record should be talked ab out more.

 

[Inthesystem]

Happy they turned the season around, but wish the staff would start taking Septembers seriously. They’ve left a lot of wins on the table over the years.

I am certain the staff takes September seriously. It’s frustrating but I wonder if it’s part of being a developmental program.

Can we all take a moment to appreciate how ridiculous ESPN was for interviewing Georgia coaches and players while our game was happening? Doesn't matter if its Iowa State - BYU or Akron - Bowling Green, you go to the game that's happening. Amateur hour.

 

[MeanDean]

This same thought popped in my head this afternoon.

I think the Pope offers dispensation or something.

 

[NENick]

Couldn't start watching until it was 10-7. Read through gameday thread, read the espn play-by-play, but still don't know who got that first interception.

Not only that, but the tempo was great.

ISU came out with purpose and enthusiasm.

Just let Rocco cook man...........

You know, the box score is a lot closer than I would have guessed. I would have assumed a bigger yardage discrepancy. Especially rushing yardage. It also looks like they ran more plays than we did, which also surprises me. Just goes to show the importance of winning that turnover battle.

If you take the 4th quarter stats out of that, I bet there’s a huge discrepancy. Garbage time lasted for 18 game minutes
