Will Iowa State Win Out?
- Thread starter indycyclone
- Start date
It's a statement that I don't want to be true, but awd4cy has been leading the rug giveaway (smartest fan in the Big 12) recently...
One game at a time. I know we have a tendency to automatically mark a "W" for any game in Hilton, but OU and Baylor are both capable of coming in and winning. Certainly not saying they will, but nothing left on the schedule can be taken for granted.
And now welcome to the post game thread where posters beat up on straw men and overstate the prior mood of the fan base.
I'll give you Oklahoma but you can't say Baylor is capable of winning in Hilton until they at least do it once.
Disclaimer: Capable is to strong. Obviously if you go by definition it fits but I don't think you can go with a word stronger than possible. Maybe that's what you meant but it seemed to strong of a claim.
Big Monday, last home game of season, senior night, likely second place on the line, and ISU doesn't lose at home = an Iowa State win. Period. We won't lose that game.
You're just talking regular season, right? I doubt it. But I don't think KU will either. The conference is too competitive this year.
Kenpom is picking us to drop two, and UT may be a more difficult matchup for ISU now that Barnes isn't committed to playing Holmes at the 3. TCU is scary, but hopefully ISU is going to that high school gym and playing for a conference title.
My semi-realistic hope is for ISU to go into the last day of the season one game back of KU in the Big 12 hunt. We play TCU and they play @ OU. Both of those games could and should go our way and we can get a share of the title. And then through all of the celebration there will be those Debbie Downers who only focus on the game in Lubbock as the reason why we didn't end KU's streak.
this is why CF has epic meltdowns - delusional sense of optimism and entitlement
Talk on sports radio in KC this morning is that Weber has totally lost KSU and they are circling the drain after a beatdown last night at TCU. Get past UT and we shall see.
don't lump me in that group. i have never melted down. and i am optimistic but the chances of losing at home are just not big. could we? yes we absolutely could lose at home to Oklahoma. but i just don't see it. sorry for being optimistic. jesus ******* ******.
When it comes to home games, we have earned optimism, I feel invincible at home and iffy on he road most of the time.

After Fred's first year, we lose a max of 1 home game per season. It shouldn't be kool-aidish to say that we'll win at home. It's well established by facts that it's what we do.
Never said their crowds aren't horrific. Just said they should have more there on Saturday than OSU had on a weeknight. I stand by my statement that Texas is a better team than OSU and scares me more.
