Yep. They brought the blitz, which I think was a good idea, but nobody got home and Ewers made the play. Sucks.

I'll never understand how the typical sports fan is 100% different than me.
I have zero interest now, especially knowing these two conferences have done everything possible to destroy Iowa State and teams like us. Every year if the NCAA tournament ends up with all blue bloods I instantly tune out and ignore, compared to like the two years Butler went all the way I was glued to it.
Agree. I have zero problem bringing a little heat there to avoid Ewers having all day to pick the field apart.

With the kind of money on the line we're talking about, this cannot happen. There has to be transparency now.
I sat at Christmas with a person that is an avid sports fan that has no allegiances. They don't understand how I got so riled up about the ISU / Miami game. He just likes to watch exciting sport of all sorts and doesn't get all riled up.
I explained to him that makes him a sports observer, not a fan. He does not understand my point of view at all.
He is one of the people that would continue to watch the super league. He wouldn't like it, but he would continue to watch it. I told him I would NEVER watch anything in that league becuase it has nothing to do with any team that I cheer for and he found that odd.
There are different people out there. I'd just like to know the actual marketing research that has been done on the casual fan and the one that is attached to all the other NCAA schools BECAUSE of the school they choose to root for. I honestly don't know what those percentages would be, but I would like to know.

Easily correctable mistake but don't let the refs on the field off the hook. That kinda textbook targeting with an injury generally draws multiple flags.
I think it will make that harder now, at least for 1 more year.
It’s insane that OSU’s passing game is so ******* good yet they just ran into the teeth of the Michigan defense 30 times
Obviously not as heartbreaking as a Cyclone loss, but I so much wanted ASU to win that after coming back.
Sark seems like a pompous ass.

same. I’m pretty much done with this now. I might have it on a little in the background but that’s it. I just do not care.
If you bring heat,
You have to lock up on the receivers.
And the deep safety has to stay deep

Usually. There was the year Kyler Murray took Georgia to double overtime.
It wasn't a horribly officiated game other than that, and ASU maybe even had some benefits...but it BREAKS THE SPORT when they call targeting rigidly in some places and allow obvious targeting in others.
I really think they need to either lessen the penalty, or do away with it. The replay officials are F GRADE at applying it in a consistent way, they should lose the privilege. It's the same reason it's FABULOUS that these crappy college refs can give out a 40 yard PI penalty, they just aren't good enough at their job to make penalty decisions that big.
What a game by ASU. Should be very proud of the effort they gave. Sometimes it just goes the other way.
Guy brought the house, and UT blocked it, would have been better off blitzing a couple and kept the other safety back to help.
This is everything you need to know if you watched that game and had questions.
They mainly need to get special teams up to at least B level, not unlike us a few years ago.
Skattebo doesn't grow on trees but they should be good.
