McCarney played a lot if freshmen in 2004; Blythe, Meyer etc. so it's similar to this year. Except DMac had more success. The Big 12 is down this year. Might be comparable to the Big 12 north in 04/05.
Minnesota beat Nebby handedly. They cannot believe it. Their new Texas. The sound off shows were hilarious. Where does Bo go from here? They had a backup qb and they failed to bring him in to replace the obviously subpar Martinez who said after the game he had two injured toes. Meltdown on both sides of the ball. They went to get rid of their OC Tim Beck. He had Abdullah running for eight yards a carry against eight guys in the bois, but he had power rocket arm Martinez throwing 34 times. Last night on the show they even said the Hoks had a chance to win the division. Ugh.
Clones, Huskers, Vikes, UNI, all four in a funk.

Your right on bro, historically we win about 3.5 games a year on average. This looks to be an average to below average year, typical Iowa State Football.
Been a Cyclone fan, since 1958.
Season ticket holder since 1972
I am retired, 65 now, and I'll be a Cyclone ticket holder for at least another 15 years God willing.
Buying an season ticket saves you a seat in JAck Trice, nothing more.
When you buy you are not a share holder on the stock exchange.
Its' your choice to support the Cyclones or not, but I don't need to hear you complain everyday.
Go Cyclones.

It strikes me as a losing proposition to chase off new fans, regardless of their expectations or dedication. The reality is: this season will chase off most fair weather fans without any help from you. Those that are still here, even if they are griping, are showing a decent amount of dedication in my book.
Fans can (and should) say whatever they want to say. The only thing that can change their tune is the team on the field.

I agree 100%.
Does this year suck? Yes
Has it been worse? Yes
Do fans have the right to be as happy or as ticked or somewhere in between as they want? Yes
You are right on, we saw this same thing with basketball a few years back. It had been multiple years of the same bad to mediocre teams with much higher player attrition. It devided a fan base something fierce.
Hell the whole McCarney situation did the same thing.
It sucks to have controversy (over on field stuff) because the fanbase will rarely agree 100% and no matter what happens a group will be dissapointed.
I was onboard with moving on from Dan Mc, but the bolded is, um . . . well its kinda happening.
FYI- I like CPR and want him here, I think he can do good things.
