Special teams were fine?

Then Matt Campbell needs to be gone. Ya, I said it. I was a Human Resources Office with a bank. The CEO of the bank asked me to make all personnel decisions. If there was a problem with an employee, it was my job to coach, counsel or train the employee to bring their performance up to an acceptable level. If that was unsuccessful then discipline was involved (verbal warning first, then official write up etc.). Employees were held accountable for their actions…or inactions. If I didn’t hold them accountable, guess what, the CEO held ME accountable. Time for CMC to hold people accountable—friends or not. If he doesn’t, we’ll, then “Chairman of the Board Pollard needs to hold HIM accountable.

Yeah you seem qualified to run an AD.

Seriously though, I have to stop taking these games so seriously. I don’t know if I can even watch next week. Texas might hang 100 on us.

They won't hang 100 on us, far more realistic is they shut us out. 35-0 or something like that.

Maybe Dekkers has been over-coached. Forced into playing Manning’s game instead of playing to Dekkers strengths.

I think that is what happened to Purdy

 

[atlantacyclone]

To sum it up historically: we aren't a bad team, but we are bad.

 

[ZuriCyclone]

How accurate was Vegas.

They weren’t bad tonight but have been horrible for years now.

 

[CycloneErik]

I did a lot of underestimating of ineptness today.

Although Iowa will get the ball back here.

I respect trying to get Iowa to jump, but discipline is definitely their thing.

Even if you throw out 2020, show me an ISU coach who finished the conference 4th, 3rd, 3rd, (1st but you are excluding 2020) and 4th in 4 consecutive seasons? Many of you need to sleep on it and cool off a bit. We used to be a program just happy to get 6 wins to be bowl eligible.

Ever think that maybe the conference was actually down lately?

I'm sorry, you cannot ride on the past when you are making rookie mistakes in year 7.

Explain that timeout after KSU's. Margins?

 

[Dowwmeow]

Tom Manning needs to go. He needed to go 3 years ago, but there’s really no reason to keep him now. What a freaking loser. You look at our record in 1 score games and it’s almost all on his shoulders

Announcers just said ISU lost 5 of last 6 one score games. Matt Campbell turning into Scott Frost 2.0

 

[Cyforce]

We covered.

 

[madguy30]

I have an urge to rant in so many ways, but I need to accept this is a 4-8 type of season. It isn't going to happen.

Only hope now is something starts to gain traction here the last half of the season for younger players.

If they mail it in that's a pretty bad red flag situation.

 

[AuH2O]

Need to reduce CMC salary, no other program is going to take him. I am afraid folks may come after John Heacock. Put the money from that to a compotent offensive staff. They don't even need to be good, just better then average

People have already come after Heacock. His next move is retirement.

 

[clonedude]

CMC always wanted to be the Iowa of the Big 12. He's finally achieved it.... we're losing games by scores of 14-11 and 10-9 now!!

 

[atlantacyclone]

Our offense will need to score at least 21 points to win a game this season. Can they do it?

 

[jctisu]

All of you that are "done" better be then. Don't say that and pop back into gameday threads going forward.

But what if they just tune in when we are on defense? That’s fun to watch. They can be done with the offense lol!

CMC is always talking about the margins, while losing in it. The only reason the margins are close is because of the defense and John heacock.

 

[fsanford]

There are no words to describe those 4th quarter possessions.
Horrible, pathetic, do not convey what they were

 

[awd4cy]

It’s a very small minority that have. If Heacock leaves or retires, we may never recover under Campbell

CMC says a lot of words but none of it makes sense or means anything
