    Perspective

    The idea you propose above seems to be that we should be happy to be habitual 7-5/8-4 team. And on the whole, sure, why not. But many of us also think that such "settling" could be complemented by a periodic outstanding season. I think that's a reasonable expectation. If you can't occasionally...

    *** Official IOWA STATE vs Texas Tech Game(Day) Thread ***

    Heathcote losing his luster. Lack of preparedness/spirit now a defining trait. This season is a huge disappointment.

    Should J. Brock be getting more carries?

    I've seen nothing from BH to suggest he'd sit the game out. Doesn't strike me as his style. That said, if we end up in a second tier bowl and he decides to do so, I'm not going to judge. It's not like he's been indestructible and there's a lot on the line for him. A healthy BH drafted high would...

    (Updated title)Breece Hall: the NCAA record holder

    Landing in the right place is important in the NFL. I don't know that Troy Davis was destined for superstardom, but I completely believe that "Coach" Ditka destroyed any chance he had.

    (Updated title)Breece Hall: the NCAA record holder

    This is the correct answer. I haven't cared about the Heisman fluff-fest for years. It is the position specific awards that matter.

    Purdy in the NFL

    Everyone seems to agree that Purdy is average/bordline from a physical talent standpoint. His game knowledge is hard to read--probably also good, but not elite. Can anyone lend insight on his work ethic? If drafted, will he commit to meticulously developing his craft? It's unclear to me if he...

    Great. I hope he's right.

    [Added Jason Essex] 2022 Class Breakdown

    I was agreeing with your point. And I understand that there can only be so many coaches, so something has to give. That said, when was the last time ISU recruited a punter or kicker that was ready to go? The level of players ISU gets in every position will need coaching.

    [Added Jason Essex] 2022 Class Breakdown

    A dedicated WR coach. Makes sense. But then again, so does a special teams coach.

    We STILL control our own destiny (kinda)

    This. It's funny that a win AT Oklahoma is being assumed by so many. We don't beat them often, and no one has beaten them this year.

    Lineup? Parker at 149?

    Am I right to guess that these guys are all wrestling for the right to take on the assumptive starter at the later date? That would make sense with Degen/Parker since Parker is the one moving up to challenge.

    Maybe some perspective

    A win may make things feel a bit brighter. But for me the CG will not enter the picture again, even if it remains a mathematical possibility. This team is not CG worthy for whatever reason.

    Neal Brown postgame on Iowa State ... well worth your time

    There's no putting lipstick on this pig. Sorry.

    Players that should get drafted this year

    I think Lazard helps get Hutchinson drafted. AL wasn't drafted b/c of doubts about ISU. He has erased those for all who follow.

    Lineup? Parker at 149?

    Isn't Parker a supersenior? In that context, six years is a long time to stay small. My fear is that he cannot compete with the bigger framed guys that are sucking down to 149. Similarly, moving to 157 would possibly negate Degen's entire game, as his length advantage would dissipate. I'm not...

    Field storm was unnecessary

    Must have thought he was still on the TX-Mex border.

    Lineup? Parker at 149?

    Certainly moving Carr to 165 would help in the dual schedule. But I worry it would cost him at nationals. I don’t think Degen places as well at 157, or Parker at 149.

    Lineup? Parker at 149?

    Don’t think these lower weight changes will add wins. But I’m not going to say that athletes should starve themselves to death.
