*** Official Iowa vs IOWA STATE Game(Day) Thread ***

Honestly, even beyond wins and losses, my own expectation for ISU football, or literally any other element of my life, begins with "is willing to try something new if what they are doing demonstrably and continually does not work." It's a lot easier to sit through a losing season that may or may not be rebuilding toward something if you have a coach who isn't going to spend all twelve games insisting his philosophy is the right one even though 1+ seasons now cast serious doubt on that (and you can go back to the season before where Brock Purdy and Breece Hall were leveraged to get us a massive 7 wins, but even leaving that one out).
You will get neither a win over Iowa nor a winning conference record and you will defend Matt Campbell regardless
Who do you want to coach at ISU that will do better?
I'm just speaking
I know, I'm a downer. Just how I cope. Perhaps the lesson here is don't spread my misery to others. Thanks for the feedback.
If Kansas and Kansas State can find a coach that wins football games so can Iowa State. The good news for me is it’s not my job to find someone. That’s the responsibility of people getting paid millions of dollars by Iowa State University
Oh god not this ****. This was the same question people asked when people wanted Prohm and Rhoads fired. “Who’s going to do better?” “Who do you want?” “If Rhoads can’t win here, a guy who loves ISU and the state of Iowa, no one can win here.”
Can we get non Big12/Ten refs for this game in the future? Seems like a conflict of interest to me
Down 34 - 17 with under 3 minutes to go. Weber St on offense. Hopefully not our best win this season.
And I’m assuming you do not contribute any $$ to the university or the athletic dept, but feel you have full right to criticize everyone
See… you’re not the one who can make baseless claims
Iowa State has won football games though. CMC has a winning record.
I get it. You want more. And it looks simple. But it's not. There's a reason ISU has never won 10 games and it's not SOS. Even with their best teams, there's a hole somewhere that keeps it from going to a different level.
I'm absolutely good with ISU making a bowl game and anything else is icing, just like I'm content with a tourney bid and any win is the same.
You will always get less than what you ask for
Okay, but in Prohm's case there was recent evidence that someone could in fact do better. In Campbell's case, arguably no one has ever done better.
True but this is a what have you done for us lately kind of thing..and for some reason he turned into Earle Bruce in the 4th quarter.
If the 4-8 seasons continue for two more years, Pollard will 100% pull the trigger and take a chance on someone else. As much as Campbell has done for the program, Pollard won’t put up with losing and ticket sales going down the drain.
If I ask for a bowl game and a tourney bid, and ISU gets those, that's not less though.
