Can I like/agree/winner the same post all at once?Post-game comments about once being a "laughingstock" have popped up more than once this year. Feels like comments are being used to deflect attention and criticism for 2021 disappointments. Grateful for the foundation this coach, staff and players have built in the football program. It's been a blast being part of this (2017 is still my favorite year of the six so far). However, if our past is fair game for criticism, doesn't there have to be a little embarrassment about being pre-season top 10 and ending up way outside the final top 25?
...It's a phrase to indicate that the program has improved from where it had been. Nothing more.
What about after a tie?
What is it going to take for you to finally wear shirts everyday?
It's time for another intervention.
This. I don't live in Iowa anymore, but when I come back to visit I notice way more ISU gear than in years past. The tables are beginning to even out despite the media bias.ISU gear makes up for about 65% of my clothing options. I will say CMC and his players have made it easier on younger kids to stick with ISU. There was a lot of flipping going on while I was in elementary. At one time in a class of 65 kids there was only 2 of us that would wear ISU stuff on a regular basis.
Thank you for wearing a shirt every day. I do to and some days it is an Iowa State shirt.Hell no I wear a shirt almost everyday and I always have a cyclone hat on.
Multiple ISU tats here, never embarrassed. Other than the earliest one fading and being off center on my arm;. The 70's football Cy that Dan at Yankee Doodle did is amazing! I had a vision to do that whole arm in ISU logos, but kind of abandoned that (for now.)Never embarrassed. Wearing ISU gear today. Technically I have it on me 24/7 if you count my ISU tatt.
Penguin!Same. Though to be fair I only own one ISU shirt, a couple coozies, and beanie. I paid ISU plenty of tuition--dont need to pay them more lol.
Shoot, dictionary says it means you are someone who makes you a better version of yourself, but where I’m from when you are called a penguin, it means you are stingy. Penguins have short wings and therefore don’t stretch out to give. If you ain’t going to donate to your school then please don’t preach to us on how much you spent on your education. We all did and it was not a waste of money. Quit acting like you were not getting anything in return.Penguin!
I don't think Campbell respects Rhoads or what he had built.And there are myriad ways to say that without denigrating the efforts, however futile, of the people who came before you and the tens of thousands of people who pour their energies and finances into supporting your program.
I don't think Campbell respects Rhoads or what he had built.
Not trying to fire up the rumor mill, but he's talked previously about the lack of depth and strength training thus team had when they came in and they were sobered realizing how big of a turnaround was at hand.
To me. It's that. Combined with the lack of in state gear/clothing that's been mostly hawks for a long time. That shift started under Pollard, and has continued with Campbell to a large degree.
This is what I believe they meantThey were talking about former Cyclone players?
Embarrassed? As in choosing not to wear an ISU shirt? Sure, the day after getting stomped by Iowa like in CMC's first year. Or most of last year's basketball season. Just don't want to put up with all the Hawk fans that are in the CR area.
