What's more insulting standing up for your program or have a player flat out say your aren't good, or blaming the loss on your coaching staff because you wouldn't want to give any credit to a team who you view as inferior.
And who the **** cares what Charlie Strong thinks.
My goodness some of you can spin anything can't you. Rhoads stands up for his program and just because some u you are a little sensitive you think Rhoads is in the wrong. Unreal
There's a small faction of "fans" here that are actually upset ISU/Rhoads won last weekend.
Win a battle, lose the war...it's inevitable, Paul says it himself. Why compete with the Texas' of the world then. Some of you guys reallllllly like "nice" guys a little too much.
It's all perception, some people hear what they want to hear. For example if someone says "You're a worthless piece of Crap" to you, some people might think this guy hates me, some might think this guy is a jerk, while a few say, "shut up Dad".
Our last game was with Texas. We looked good. And this Texas team had beaten Oklahoma and K-State the previous 2 weeks and was thought that they had gotten their act together. So it was a VERY good win.
This team looks completely different with Lanning at QB. Let's hope we can keep it going. We have made 2 changes. We have changed the OC and have a new starter at QB. Defense played great and that was even without Cotton-Moya who was out due to injury.
Enjoy the win. And let''s move forward.

This. It was a great week, and it offered some promise of more.
I wish it weren't Oklahoma next, but maybe we take a solid shot at them. Who knows? Maybe it's time to shock the world, or maybe it's just another OU game for us.
Either way, feel free to enjoy a really fun win.
There's one now! This super fan is so much better than us that he actually cheers for "his team" to lose games!
Dude's been waiting a while to pat himself on the back. Good for him, I guess. One win over a team with a losing record isn't getting me on the "sign an extension" bandwagon.
I think I made it clear what I wanted him to say in my post. Also, the players can't find it encouraging that their coach basically said they aren't very good and shouldn't be winning games. How about, "Our program has to work a lot harder to find players that have the potential to play quality football like we did today. Programs like Texas have far more options to choose from. It is extremely rewarding for our players to prove how good they are with statement wins like this one." That is better than, "We shouldn't beat Texas. Their players are better. We are lowly Iowa State. We don't belong here." Okay, that might not be an exact quote, but that is how it came across.
Did I miss where he said our players aren't very good?
Seems like most people here are arguing the assumptions of what he said and how our players feel about it based their very own biases.
Paul never said our players weren't good. Paul said we shouldn't beat Texas because Texas gets FIRST CHOICE of Texas Players. That if Texas OFFERS a player from Texas and we offer the same player that the player will choose Texas. THAT is a fact.
Of all the Texas Players on our roster, HOW MANY had offers from Texas???
It was just a dose of reality that is actually a tribute to our players. Our players were not wanted by the University of Texas. And those players that Texas did not want just shut out the Longhorns in getting a decisive win.
