Loved Brock's response after being pretty much awful in the first half. Hopefully he shuts up the people on social media calling for "Deckers"......
Hopefully that awful half does wake him up for the rest of the season. But let’s be real, he was completely awful in the 1st Half and he would tell you the same thing. He looked like the Brock of old in the 2nd Half.

Are you bipolar in real life also or just in game day threads?

Child, Campbell is the greatest coach ISU football has had. But his teams have serious flaws. They will slay giants and then struggle w Drake. He is still young in the P5 World, but his ceiling is very high. Hope we can keep paying him like a top 25 Coach. Not mess this up like Fred.

Totally agree, however one weakness of CMC is taking the foot off the gas once we got up 14 also and almost allowing them to come back and win.

That’s why almost all our games are close..... CMC won’t allow kids to quit, but he won’t destroy teams when you have them down either.

I thought the offense was doing a good job of mixing in just enough passes to make Baylor defend the field, and then when they got across the 50 on the last drive they just decided to run it right into the blitz. If there was any hole at all Breece was going to go all the way. OL still needs to get a lot better for ISU to just run at teams when the know that is what is going to happen.

Yea, probably the worst I've seen him, he has seemed a bit off all year but he's end up going down as the greatest QB we've ever had. It's just funny some of these know it all fans don't know how to spell the backups name.

Manning did a great job play calling with what he was given today. He definitely didn’t call Brock to woefully under throw the long pass or to throw wide right to Allen near the goal line. We were down 14 to 0 and 21-7 and Manning knew just what to call to get us up 38-24 even with a muffed punt in the middle.

Umm, do you even know who Johnny Majors and Earl Bruce are?

You wouldn't know a great P5 coach if you caught him eating your Fruit Loops.

We didn’t mess up with Fred. The NBA was where he wanted to be from the start. Agree with Campbell though

I'm quite sure it is. Is it as good as last week's though?

I think so, in a different way. I mean last week the world was ending because we didn't beat another Big XII team by 90.

There was real tension for a half this week but the trolls faded pretty quickly in the 3rd, actually they weren't to be found after the 12 min mark until the end of the game with the usual "We were lucky, good teams don't play like this, good teams aren't 5-1 and leading their conference" banter.

Froot Loops eats Froot Loops? Makes sense.

Great Coaches. I would say Dan is better, turned this program around. But no body comes close to what Campbell has done here and is going to do here.

Fred? Money had nothing to do with why he left...

Campbell's teams do have flaws, but as it sits right now were in 1st place.

I called for Purdy to be pulled after his third pick. Not something I’m proud of but fitting for a game day thread. Lots of calls for Dekker after that one.

The game did not have to be this way. Felt like we played OU.
