Chill out - Positive thoughts

[oldwiseman]

My fantasy football team is called ISU to the Big 10.... draft was on Sept 6th and I'm looking forward to my "I told you so" moment!

:wink:

A voice of reason finally. Thank you.

The rampant speculation and negative tone doesn't make our fanbase look good. It shows a lot of insecurity. Our athletic program is respectable, and all of these doomsday threads will provide a lot of amusement in 10 years.

Reading the mega thread - "Texas A&M to the SEC" is getting old. So many people feeling sorry for ourselves. We will be fine and potentially better than we ever have been.

Two weeks ago we were the crappiest athletic program in the country according to every media story. Now, we have beaten our in state rival, Iowa and followed that up with a win at Big East champ UCONN as U of I beat Pitt to add validity to our win over them.

Now I'm reading posts about how ISU is a program on the rise. ESPN has made positive comments about what a great job CPR is doing at ISU. THIS is how fast things change with regard to public opinion. We even have a story from a major media outlet listing us as someplace the B1G should be looking.

Before someone says they aren't a major media source, they are the 4th largest sports media site in the US.

In general, all of this panic talk is no different than acting like a bunch of insecure nerds that lack any kind of self confidence.

Get a grip, people. We will be just fine.

If you have something positive to post, feel free but no more sky is falling BS. Save that for the A&M thread.

Can we start a positive post here please?

sorry but that site is put ****. first of all they had ISU beating Purdue in triple overtime, not Iowa (they have now changed it). they are far from a credible site.

that said, i echo the other stuff you said.

Forget the previous video I posted. This is more effective.

Don Corleone has a message for all the "Game Over, Man! GAME OVER!" doomsayers.

I don't think anyone being worried is out of place at all.

Iowa State will ALWAYS be my team, so while I would love to see them stay in a major conference, my allegiance is not threatened by the potentialities of what is going on.

I share this sentiment. Iowa State has a very proud and loyal fan base, and we as alumni and fans need to step up our support for the university now more than ever.

Yeah well worry is one thing but, it's overdone. I can show you 11,000 plus posts to prove it!

Be proud of ISU and enjoy what we have going... 3-0 and ready to smack TX in 2 weeks!

Big 12 fate will be answered, but what's the question?

 

[oldwiseman]

Hopefully some answers will come today. Probably just in time as ISU fans are buying the pharmacies out of Xanax!

No one knows the question because the pic on the middle right distracted them. What was that article about?

Was it starr's hat with a suit that distracted you? Some people do find him attractive I would assume. Not me, but to each there own. :yes:

This is why K-State does not belong in a major conference and we do!

I tried last night to start something positive and was shot in the head and heart. As I recall, you did some shooting as well.

Here's another positive: I think the endgame will become clearer in a day or two at most.

Good post. At this point, I don't really care where we end up as long as we are able to keep our current administration & coaching staff in tact long-term. If, after all of this, we aren't able to maintain the funding needed to keep JP or our current coaching staff's in all sports (specifically CPR, Fred, BF, Johnson-Lynch, KJ)...........I'll lose any faith I have left in college athletics.

Getting close to lunch. Anybody got any chili to go with those cinnamon rolls? It was my favorite combo for school lunch.

I never understood that combo.
