*** Official #14 IOWA STATE vs Baylor Game(Day) THREAD ***

[CYEATHAWK]

We should have kicked a 4 pointer at the end.

Dan McCarney special.

I tried to temper my expectations after last year, but #7 was hard to do. I think we're also going to get a lot of "best shots". Well, maybe not anymore.

When Iowa and Baylor have winning programs after the despicable things their athletic departments have done, and we piss the bed time after time while running a relatively clean program, it’s safe to say that there is no karma in sports.

 

[AuH2O]

Rhoads and Chizik had better special teams than this. Worst special teams in the country.

Eric Heft just said Manning’s play calling was tremendous.

I trust Eric.

 

[Nelcyn]

It was a fun game to watch. Didn't sleep through it at all.

 

[jaj040]

See ya in October. Too bad it's already been spoiled.

Thought we could draw a shooting foul and sink the FG.

Well, after decades of waiting to see Iowa State finally go somewhere special... it looks like my once in a lifetime season will have to be last season!

Please tell me this is a joke.

Is Two Point Conversions considered to be Special Teams, I say yes and that was a failure!

Eric is payed to be a homer. I love him, but he can’t exactly go on the air and rip on the staff

 

[Freebird]

he doesn't coach special teams

Apparently no one does. And he’s still ******* horrible.

 

[helechopper]

Please tell me this is a joke.

It is fact.

 

[Daserop]

Outgained them 469 to 284 and another loss. Special teams is the biggest thing that needs fixing. Offense does too but special teams ruined this one

Out gaining is a dumb stat. Done that twice this year and it's been two losses. Get back to me with points per possession. All that matters is points.

He drunk?

This....
Punter and not kicking the ball out of the endzone basically finished off the team today. 2 things that everyone else in america can seem to do but us.

There's a little bit of a problem with the D giving up 21 in the first half, but overall yeah -- the bigger callout is this being a ST loss both in points and in field position.

Small props though to Andrew Mevis, dude has a leg. I can excuse the 47 miss. I'd like to see him punt, if possible.

Eric just said Manning was outstanding calling plays today. I don’t think I have disagreed with him, ever. 30 years listening to him. First half was a nightmare.
