It's okay we have Brackens in there. Lock down defender.

 

[RubyClone]

Well - if they had held them to something under 16 yards - I would've said call the TO.
:arghh:

JP better light a fire under CPR's @$$ at halftime, it's about the only way I feel we'll get the team fired up for the rest of the game.

[CydeOut]

Am I wrong? Why would you not go for two on our TD?

 

[RubyClone]

Why no Timeout after the fumble? WTF?!!!!!!!

Wouldn't have mattered - only had 2 TOs and 3 downs.

 

[klamath632]

I feel really bad right now because part of me wants to see us lose by 50+ in the hopes JP will be forced to do something immediately. Anyone else feeling like that?

Just the other Hawk fans.

You used the bold font on that.

 

[Jsievers24]

You're wrong. Too much game left. We actually have some momentum now.

Way too early to start chasing points. KU is going to get more than 24 points in this game, no need for us to risk being down by 18 rather than 17 right now.

 

[RubyClone]

Am I wrong? Why would you not go for two on our TD?

I don't think so. Probably easier (likely?) to get two more TD's and EPs w/ a FG than 3 2pt conversions.

Although - I suppose if you make the first and fail on the second or third, you're still in the same place and possibly in a position to take a 25 or 26 to 24 lead....

 

[CY22]

very wrong. If it was late 3rd quarter, maybe. But definitely not that early in the game, even if we have sucked.

 

[klamath632]

If you remember, we were going to keep Chizik after those 2 seasons until Auburn took him.

Question: why do you think Chizik wouldn't have gotten 6 wins with that team that year? Isn't it painfully obvious by now that Chizik was twice the recruiter CPR is? Why doesn't Chizik get the "young team" excuse for his first couple years that Rhoads gets in his sixth?

 

[CyArob]

Even if we do come back to win, it won't make me feel any better about the future of the program.

 

[Go2Guy]

I'll use it again when we win today and tie for the biggest comeback in school history

 

[besserheimerphat]

Yep. It doesn't matter because it is the coaches job to deal with that and obviously they have failed. FAILED. I'm not going to be upset if Rhoads gets another year, but I won't be upset if he quits or gets fired either at this point.

But I think Farniok is a cancer on this team. Rhoads gave a lot of power to him this year and made him part of the leadership council. And I think he is trouble.

So in your first post, you act as though you have some kind of inside info. Now you just think it's one guy because you "don't like the cut of his jib" or whatever. So have you heard anything specific to make you think this, or do you just not like long-haired freaky people?

 

[madguy30]

Because ISU's offense is so good that they assume they'll see the red zone A LOT more.

This is a true statement.

 

[CySmitty]

You guys all suck. We are down are leading tackler. our best receiver, and a starting QB. Im not losing faith in CR after that ****. Its been a tough year but this game isnt over. Go State!

 

[sdclone]

I should have taken a nap earlier like I wanted to.
