So we should spend $10s of millions to give the press a better spot....for aesthetics.

Seems like a great use of money. :rolleyes:

I would love to see how much all the press box size queens have donated to the build a bigger press box fund... combined. My guess is $0.
I’ve donated $0 to press box funds (or whatever the f*ck you’re referring to by that comment) but will happily and correctly continue to b*tch about our small time G5-ass dinky press box. And yeah, aesthetics. Don’t get me started on our cheap as sh*t looking erector set light contraptions.

Worse yet? Our overall play today. Really disappointing game overall. Some fun plays for sure, a lot of “meh” and unfortunately a lot of ugly too.

Well....1 of 3 ways to take this.

1........ND is better than advertised
2........just another typical Matt Campbell Saturday in September
3........ISU isn't that good.


I think it's #2.

Yeah, it will probably be #2. Doesn't give me a lot of hope for next week. But will likely have wins in October/November

Offense is good but playcalling is inconsistent. If something works, why do our coordinators change things up? We could have 35 or 42 if playcalling was not conservative and sorry between our first and second scores.

Defense has looked suspect, but missing a couple of our best defenders doesnt help. Its not like we have a ton of 4 and 5 stars waiting to come in. (do we have any?)

Offense looks decent. Not overpowering but has done well.

Its the first game, remember we always start slow.

I dont think anyone here took us to beat the spread today. Which was 27-30 depending on where you look.

I miss my season tickets, cuz game day threads really are a downer.

Yep, we are right on track for a CMC September. Team comes out in the opener and struggles in a W. We play Iowa at their own game and lose in the margins. Then in week 3 it will all click and we will hang like 50 on Arky St. Team is then competitive in all our league games, wins 5 or 6. Finally, show up to the bowl game looking like we skipped any sort of bowl prep. On to hoops.
I mean I can't argue with that analysis
