The Athletic ($$) - Iowa State Football Articles Thread

[srjclone]

Found this article to be very telling. Rather than focusing on maximizing the potential for this Senior-heavy class, the first thing CMC did last offseason was focus on identifying what players needed to improve to provide a meaningful impact to this program, and how you work with those players to progress them. Really well done.

The Athletic is so worth the cost. Cyclone Fanatic premium as well. Both worthwhile subscriptions

I like that they are trying to use player leadership to help out the players to need to develop. It does make me wonder who is in the "**** or get off the pot" category.

Looks like I know what I’ll be reading over lunch

Completely agree. I loved the line about Eisworth being at that top tier and helping the others get there:
"..when you get to the top, now you turn around and reach and bring people up with you,”

Max Olson has done well with his articles on ISU. Looking forward to the in season content

Really good article. I'm glad to see Campbell never gets complacent and is always tinkering to get that extra 1% out of everything. He literally walks the walk in what he preaches.

Where was he before the athletic or am I thinking of somebody else?

Agreed. Glad we aren't stuck waiting on Dochterman for coverage.

I just continue to be amazed at CMC's leadership skills and thought processes.

You don't plan the way the article describes if you are planning on leaving.

Even on the Athletic there’s no escaping them

Not only that, he's already working on the reload stage of the program rather than boom/bust seasons. Maybe future down years are closer to .500 rather than couple 2-3 win seasons between good years.

His bio says he worked for espn.com and covered the big 12 and recruiting

I preferred the comment from the supposed OU fan putting us in the national title game.

Not only that, he's already working on the reload stage of the program rather than boom/bust seasons. Maybe future down years are closer to .800 rather than couple 2-3 win seasons between good years.

FIFY

Turns out if you produce quality work (the positive spin helps too), Campbell will give you insightful quotes. And if you write for the CR Gazette...

Very, very interesting article. I signed up for "the athletic" just now.

I gotta say I'm impressed.

there's been a decent amount of ISU Football articles/discussions in their "mailbags", so if you set them as a favorite and go to that ISU Football page, all the articles they are featured in should pop up.

Can obviously do this for other teams/sports you like.

Yep, becoming the best version of yourself doesn’t stop with the players or assistant coaches

Can also ask questions for the mailbags too. I've done it a few times, even had my questions answered too!
