*** Official #17 IOWA STATE vs Kansas Game(Day) Thread ***

[Gunnerclone]

Looks like there is an internal problem. Like they aren’t playing for each other any more. Idk, but the effort level is definitely different than it was at the beginning of the season.

There’s no internal problem. It’s an external problem with the hype-merchants doing their thing which trickles down to their acolytes in the fan base.

It’s just a never ending goalpost of positivity shift from people like Williams and Blum.

It's average talent that's had a lot of injuries that had its work cut out to win games.

It's a long season.

Yes. But its Kansas. It was UCF.

We weren't getting run by Texas, USC, Ohio State. That is a given. That is inevitable.

Kansas is not some team littered with 5 NFL first round draft picks. Or they wouldn't be 2-6.

 

[Darius Bieber]

Season long field goal against us, check

 

[Thomasrickj]

Kansas drops 31 on us in the first half. This might be the worst defense in the country.

 

[cyclonez7]

With all 3 timeouts and 1 minute left, we better try to score points here. No running out the clock. That is playing to lose.

 

[Mdcy]

Cooper has not been good for a while. Even the effort on that last long pass was bad.

Not good?? Dumb •••• delusional responses by a lot of you panty wearers

 

[t-noah]

Yes.

Explains a little of this.

We are not a good 3 man front w/o him.

A Liberty Bowl trip would put us squarely in second place for all time Liberty Bowl appearances so history is still on the line this season.

I don't know if I enjoy the high crime or the cold rain more in Memphis?? Tough call. Can't wait!

 

[PFlatts]

Can't wait for the oh things aren't that bad let's pump sunshine nonsense

 

[ISUTex]

What's funny is that ISU can still come back and win if they pull their heads out. This is Kansas. Some of you are making them out to be Kansas City.

 

[danvillecyclone]

Swiss cheese defense

Kicking the FG was a punk move.

TDs or nothing.

Love an explanation for how a 7-1 team with that one loss by a single point looks like they have given up on the season. Not good for a program that bills itself as a culture and development program.

Well, at least they’re bowl eligible. I hope they never use the phrase “winning in the margins” again. Plain and simple, it’s the opposite of what this staff does.

This is a vintage throwback to the 90s teams the way they're getting slashed at every single level. We're not even close to looking competent, let alone good. There is no team leadership right now, no visible fight, and seemingly no interest in playing football at this point. The holes are gigantic, the tackling is... well not tackling, and their receivers look like NFL all-stars.

 

[helechopper]

Our dudes aren’t passing the eye test.

Their specialists are fast and they do a lot of weird stunts etc on defense.

They're 2-6 like ISU is 7-1.

A few plays away and they've looked better than ISU over the last three weeks.

Dont know that I totally agree with that. My eyes tell me something is wrong.

 

[Clonefan94]

Just ******* run Rocco.

 

[CYedUp]

Needed to run that
