    ISU -3 @ WVU

    Given WVU’s propensity to run I think we’ll see more PT for Jamo Patton and Drew Sturges if he’s finally cleared to play. Big, physical safeties who are better in the run game than in pass defense. Let those guys attack in run support. Then put Cooper and Verdon back in on 2nd and 3rd and long...

    ISU -3 @ WVU

    If Porter is still injured they could always put Sunshine in at corner

    AP Poll #10

    Almost everyone has warts in the top 10-15 teams so I don’t think we’re overrated. The best part about this is that we have a much more manageable schedule than our highly ranked teams in the past. That 2002 schedule was just brutal. No wonder they were completely out of gas when UConn rolled in...

    Incompletion at end of Virginia Tech/Miami game

    That was one of the craziest finishes in history. I don’t think the initial ruling should have been touchdown. It didn’t seem to me in real-time that an offensive player ever had clear possession to the ground. So I agree with the overturn on review.

    Is this years' team better than we thought?

    I’ve seen several posters pump the brakes on this ISU team because “we haven’t played someone really good yet.” Well, judging by how Iowa came out in the 2nd half and kicked the **** out of Minnesota I think they are really good, even though we like to diminish our rival. Other than Ohio St they...

    Never should have lost that game. Defense played passively in first half like Heacock tended to do and let the freshman Smith gain confidence. Whereas the next week OK State blitzed the **** out of him and he folded in a blowout.

    Tailgating in Morgantown

    Are you guys saying the avg Joe who is not a donor can park in the blue or green lots close to the stadium? That surprises me. If so, I’m guessing it costs $30 or more. Happy to pay if it’s an option. This will be our first trip to Morgantown.

    Ex-Clones at other schools

    Brezina is the key. If he can continue to play well as a true FR in place of Bacon that more or less bails us out until guys come back from injury. Even though he got some props I didn’t think Sadowsky was very good last year. Brezina looks faster and more athletic. Aside from that, we need...

    Ex-Clones at other schools

    Even the traditional powers will have a number of guys transfer to a lower level. If you transfer to another P4 program it may still be hard to crack the two deep.

    Iowa State Vs. Kansas Football Tickets

    KU has road games at West Virginia, ASU, and K State before our game at Arrowhead. They could easily be 3-5 going in which should put some tickets on the secondary market. Only problem is that if the Clones play to potential our fans will compete for tix and bid them up like we do for the...

    Love Heacock’s pregame speech. He also gave a great one 2 years ago when we won in IC.

    Cael Brezina Appreciation Thread

    Right. I think Mike Rose got a little heavy over the years and lost a step. Vance gained even more weight and lost a couple steps. Keep this kid at 235 or 240.

    Cael Brezina Appreciation Thread

    He doesn’t need anymore weight, just continue to get stronger and faster. Tensile strength. I was in the 13th row at the 25 yard line so got to see him close in person and honestly the kid looks perfect at his current weight. He’s athletic and looks like an NFL LB right now. Just a dude.

    Big 12 Conference Realignment

    12 spots among 34 teams, who already played each other during the season. It would water down their “playoffs” significantly. I think there would be nearly as much viewing interest in the playoffs of the not-B1G/SEC group. Then wait til Kentucky fans realize that they are ineligible to compete...

    Big 12 Conference Realignment

    The B1G/SEC and the TV networks just split college sports into 2 tiers so that horse has already left the stable. But they want the ability to pretend that it’s a level playing field so their teams can puff their chests about being “national champs.” **** that. Let them be national champs of...

    Improved footwork, communication key for ISU QB Rocco becht entering the 2024 season

    A coach can communicate with the QB up til 15 seconds left on the play clock. I assume there is a stipulation that if the team is playing up tempo the communication stops with the snap. Otherwise the coach could tell him where to throw the ball or where pressure is coming from.

    Big 12 Conference Realignment

    My favorite scenario would be for all of the other non-B1G/SEC teams to break off and form their own organization in all sports and go back to more regional matchups. Don’t schedule the B1G and SEC schools in anything. Let the B1G and SEC play each other for a 32 or 34 team title. See how long...
