New hope!!!

[WrestlerJJE]

I don't know about you guys but Matt Campbell has gave me hope. Hope that he will excel this team to a whole new level that we haven't seen. Maybe I've had to much kool-aid but I have hope and faith. Faith that he will bring us to victory and a whole new level that cyclones haven't seen before! I'm bought in and ready to go! #astormisbrewing!!!!

Everyone is high on football and low on basketball... Strange times...

 

[WrestlerJJE]

No, tbh I am really exited for football. I've been following Matt and his crew and can't wait for what he can do.

Baylor and TCU have turned things around in a short time frame. Why can't we do it? So far I really love this new staff. They are all over recruiting and I think recruiting will be at a much higher level than ever at ISU. Lets hope these guys can develop these kids and come up with a good plan to compete in the Big 12. I'm pretty confident that things will turn around for us.

Well we aren't in Texas surrounded by talent so let's keep things in perspective.

Yeah, we are not even close to an airport. err:

Lol.

I too am optimistic, but I am tempering my expectations. I just want to see some improvement. I think it will take longer than we hope, but as long as they keep plugging away we can get to a respectable level in a few years.

Came for the "Star Wars: A New Hope" discussion. Left disappointed.

 

[fsanford]

I sure hope he does not drop his first 4 games, several posters will call for his head

In order for us to move up in the conference, someone has to move down. Who do you think that will be??

Texas A&M?

K-State as a soon as the vamipre decides to head back to Transylvania.

I'm excited too, can't lie. He promised some students a bowl game next year. I think that should be a reasonable expectation every year. If we can get 6 wins a year, 3 non-conf, and 3 conf, I think that's reasonable. Every once in a few years, 7-9 wins and a better bowl wouldn't be out of the question.

But it's nice to have some hope to be sure. It's been a while. This fan base is so loyal(just like the fight song says), I think they deserve a winner.

 

[cytown]

I'm with you. I think he will be able to recruit against the big boys and up the talent level big time in Ames. Will take time, though.

Very true. Its weird for me to be on football forums frequently like i have been this year during basketball season

I too am hopeful. We have no beaches or mountains, but neither does any other Big 12 or Big 10 school. We have good facilities, an award winning city, an excellent school, fantastic fans and a coach that believes in himself and this program.

Uh, Northwestern?

Seems like he's been getting the rock star treatment, so hopefully it goes alright.

One thing I know--there will be someone within the first half of next season that thinks ISU would be better off with Rhoads.
