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

[atlantacyclone]

First time since Sept of last year that we aren’t in a game… hard to believe that we don’t have 4 turnovers with this score.

 

[t-noah]

OK, better. Hansen for the score.

Just kick the point.

 

[clonedude]

Ole' CMC will give the " This falls on the head coach" and we have to "trust the process"and all will be good til next week.......

If I hear.... "well... we were just a bit off here and there, but I thought our kids really fought"... I will explode.

 

[Inthesystem]

Wait for Blum to use this some how as to why you need to donate more

He’s not wrong.

 

[CyGuy5]

I’m sure we’ll score a few garbage time TDs and make this look close. Then the staff will talk about how proud they are of our guys

 

[HoustonClone]

Done with C

So much talent. Such ****** game coaching. I am so done with CMC. Never believed the margins ******** after the Notre Dame game.

So what does "done with CMC" look like for a Cyclone fan? Seriously curious.

 

[jdoggivjc]

Going for 2 is dumb here. Fake aggressiveness.

Funny how a penalty saved us from that.

 

[khardbored]

Glad to see at least our guys haven't given up

(or at least not all of them)

 

[Clonefan94]

I hope I can come back and eat some crow, but this one is over.

Oh, I should say, if you find a murder of them let me know. I’ll grab one for next week.

 

[Cyinthenorth]

Today is bringing the rest of the season into focus

Cinc : tossup
Utah: likely win if we get some people healthy, but they will view it as a chance for a W
KSU: certain loss, likely a blowout.
Bowl game: who knows, but it feels like a repeat of last year is the most likely outcome

Both cincy and utah are winnable, but I don't see this team winning both.

10 win season is likely slipping away.

H

I think we lose until Kansas State. End the season 8-4

 

[Tpups21]

Been a long time since the defense got shredded like today.

 

[Clonefan32]

Not even the fourth quarter and I’ve got Hallmark Christmas movies on with the wife. May as well try and salvage something out of this awful day.

 

[aeroclone]

When do we get to get over the “you guys don’t understand how bad it was in the 20th century” loser mentality?

Exactly. For most of our history we were bringing a knife to a gun fight. They have the resources now. The expectations have changed.

 

[Koala]

Fact of the matter is this crap shouldn’t be happening in year 8. The procedural penalties and lack of preparedness is genuinely pathetic

Good thing it's actually year 9.

Wait...

 

[ExCyment]

No, we were never going to be invited, but these last few seasons were probably our last opportunities to prove something before the non-Big 10/SEC teams are just locked out of the system. Our runway was not infinite, and it’s unforgivable that the coaching staff has squandered the great players we’ve been blessed with.

Oh look something new, LA being incredibly negative. CPR was in LA for a while wasn't he? Could it be?

 

[stormchaser2014]

 

[PFlatts]

Bring five give up 9 yards

 

[Drew0311]

The comeback starts now.

I might agree but we can’t stop crap. Normally the comeback happens when we get three and outs.

 

[Cyinthenorth]

Honestly this was in the back of my mind when I decided not to go.

A better question is why has a 7-1 team mailed it in as opposed to this 2-6 KU team

 

[Darius Bieber]

Our first down runs: stuffed
Kansas first down runs: 10+ yards
