Seriously you all... stop whining like spoiled children and support this team. They are just 18-22+ year old kids doing this for the love of the game. Some positivity around here wouldn't hurt. For ****'s sake. We are FINALLY revamping out stadium after talking about it for the last 4+decades. No more "high school stadium" jokes, lets fill it up. It is a new year, with a Senior QB with talent at WR. Yes, we lost some heartbreaking games last year. It sucked. We all know this. The margin of error for ISU teams isn't significantly large. I think we at least owe them the benefit of the doubt to see how they do the first couple of games before we throw them off the cliff with the rest of the lemmings.

While I and others can understand that people are frustrated with the last coupe of seasons, there is one thing we can control as fans and show them support. People do notice (ESPN/FSN announcers, news paper articles and blogs) and it is tremendously positive not only for perception but as a foundation to build from. We have a very loyal and compassionate fan base. I think as fans we wouldn't be helping our cause if we turned a cold shoulder now.

You lost me as soon as you called fans 'spoiled children'.

Seriously, this is the best fanbase in america. It shows up, en masse, for what is probably one of the worst 5 showings of any power 5 football team over the last several decades. We've increased our ticket sales. We've increased our donations. Fact is i think everything we've done gives us the right to complain that the return on that investment has been slim to none so far.

If anyone's spoiled, its our football program. It gets support (and even has the gall to raise prices) even after 2 absolutely terrible years.

0.01. That's what it's worth. Quit overpricing your opinion!

Going to games is VERY expensive, and over the past few years has been downright miserable. Im all about supporting the team, but I wont blame anyone for making the team prove their worth first before showing up. The fans have done a stellar job of showing up the past few season, and have not been rewarded. Its time for the team to show up now, and if they do, the fans will pack that place.

We may be the only fan Base in America where half of our fan base hates each other and argues with each other over pointless things.

God no. Welcome to every message board.

That's every fan base with a message board.

I have to pay 150 more for my seat next year....yeah not going to lie. The product on the field does make me wonder if it's worth it. However, my stubbornness and my eternal nutcup I wear as a fan will keep me in the stadium somewhere.


I do agree we as fans should try to still support the team/school no matter what. Sure, some of us want new coaching blood, but it's not happening. Let's control what we can which is cheer our ***** off!

Watch out with this attitude Boone267 or whatever his name is will call you names up and down with that attitude and how we are expected to shell out 1000's of dollars and expect nothing in return.

 

[CycloneErik]

Oh, football threads. This started a lot earlier than I expected.

 

[RING4CY]

I want to see all of us support our school and team, but I'm not going to blame or call someone out, when they show frustration or disbelief in a team that has won 5 games in the last two years.

This child just pointed out your mistakes. Feel free to edit.

True I suppose. It's funny that no one would say any of the negative things to people on here to their face in person. If that was the case there would be a **** load of tailgate fights

Wait so you're allowing frustration with 5-19 the last two seasons? Ok cool

 

[Althetuna]

I bought my season tickets and I'll go to every game but I'll be damned if I have fun doing it.

 

[Cyclonepride]

I'm 100% behind the team. I really hope we surprise a few people this year. Hopefully having a year under Mangino's system will help things start clicking, and we can find a way to get enough stops.

 

[CarolinaCy]

Just one more thing to blame Hoiberg for since everyone is piling on him for the abrupt end to the bball season.

 

[CYCLNST8]

find a way to get enough stops.

Stopping Big 12 offenses is next to impossible. The focus should be on ball control and creating turnovers. Neither of which have been happening much lately. I'm hoping Jordan Harris & Demond Tucker can recreate the aggressive nastiness they had @ Copiah-Lincoln. Quarterbacks have been WAY too comfortable against us the last two seasons.

 

[Luth4Cy]

I've been accused in the past of being a homer for the football team, but accused recently of not supporting the basketball team, so I'm not really sure what to do with this information.
