All about execution, in the last 4 games, we are right there and just a few more mistakes, we clean that up we win. I could see us getting the last 4 with good bye week recovery!

The internet is serious business. I would never joke in such a public forum.
Iowa > Everything
Gee, I wish I would've had free college. Free room and board etc. It is like getting paid no matter how much you don't want it to be. Do you know for a fact that he isn't getting any NIL money? Are you his grandmother? Maybe you could have the ISU football children players over for milk and cookies and tell them how you are crusading the interwebs to protect them from online critics who might say mean things about them.
I've never booed players, but I don't have a problem with fans doing it if they are sucking. They're professional athletes now. The players demanded the money. Now they have it. Maybe you should stick to watching high school sports if it triggers you so much.
I assume the referee thought he landed on top of the QB with the force of his whole body, but it looked to me that he landed off to the side.
Do they have some kind of device that measures what percentage of bodyweight comes down on a player? If not then it all seems subjective and we seem to get the short end of the stick as usual.
Agree with you are what your record is but Campbell won't be blamed because everyone points at Iowa State as the problem. These people who blame Iowa State don't see the fans support and better facilities. This is not the same Iowa State of even10 years ago.
Good game yesterday. Didn't expect to win and although we could have and that makes it hurt, overall I am not upset with the outcome. Offense showed a lot of improvement which is what we wanted. Playcall to Noel for the 50+ yard TD was the best playcall from Manning this year.
Weren't you the guy having a nuclear meltdown after the K-State game but now this loss is fine?
yeah. Expectations are much lower now. And actually I think it was the Kansas game. But we looked good yesterday in the loss, which is not the case in the past two games.
So true. More than likely anyway.
So you've got these rules to protect the players, and to protect the QB's. Then when a QB (our QB) gets clocked in the head, and the reason he fumbled is because he got clocked in the head, and it's clear that it was helmet to helmet glancing contact, then harder shoulder to helmet impact, this is all OK? The QB lies dead on the field and the refs are only reviewing if the ball came out before or after his knee hit the ground.
Makes perfect damn sense to me.
I'd love to see the tongue lashing CMC would have for an attitude like this. Just take the ISU off your user name.
The lack of a targeting call? Idk why you are being so purposefully obtuse about it. Everyone and their brother knows that was targeting. Any other program gets that call. That’s why fans are so pissed. I mean christ watch the replay, the first guy hits Dekkers with a forearm to the helmet from the side then the second guy hit his square on the top of the helmet with his shoulder pad. You don’t need helmet to helmet contact for targeting, just contact to the head or neck area which the Texas player accomplished after launching at a player on his way down.
Not obtuse…I’m being objective. Crappy timing, violent play, but I immediately saw it was a fumble and likely wasn’t targeting when I saw the replay. If it’s that clear to me, I wonder how others can be so blind.
Very clearly a targeting, easy call that gets called and confirmed 99 times out of 100. Easily confirmed in real-time speed and slow motion.
Edit: Wow watching it on replay again, it’s even worse. Hunter is writhing in pain/shock from being absolutely SHASMED in the “head/neck area” - instantly grabs his head/facemask. Literally 100% the exact type of play that a targeting is trying to prevent/warn against. Literally fumbles the ball because of the violent targeting impact to his head/neck area.
