and unfortunately Whtivers decisions hurt Iowa State University.
Game Thoughts: WVU

Good info. That makes it seem doable. My fear was that we need millions each year to compete which will be near impossible in the short term. But if hundreds of thousands can do it, I’d hope a bigger marketing push and being open to publicly talk about where we are and what we need (as opposed to a black box approach) will be successful.
It’s most definitely not overblown. If we don’t take it seriously, teams that do and have significant $$$ will poach our players like Hunter, Young, etc.
I don’t think we’d have to worry as much about guys like Tampa or Purchase that will likely get big $$$ in the NFL. But if we can give them something to make that decision easy - we 100% need to do it. If we don’t, we’ll be a farm system to others.
I was just relieved to find out Cyclone Jerry is still alive, although he has a bad cold and didn’t go to the game. With calls from Cyclone Jerry and Helmet Guy right out of the gate, it’s obvious with that quality we don’t need three hours like Hawks.
But why are our special teams so poor and why has it not been fixed? It's not like this is the first year that the special teams have been poor, it's a yearly thing, and how much longer is Campbell going to allow it to continue before he checked his ego, admits that he needs to bring in a special teams coach and then do it?
or the difference in the sun level when going a certain direction
Very fair point.
Good to finally put TD’s on the board. Dekkers has shown he has tools but is going thru growing pains of progressions. He needs to throw the ball away instead of taking sacks. In HS he probably could tuck and run and has that habit ingrained. Build off the positives and go in to Stillwater with a chance now.
I wanted to rewatch the last quarter of the game. So I started with 4 minutes left in the third. We had to punt. Some idiot(s) on here claimed West Virginia fielded every punt. They didn’t field that punt and I’m guessing there was at least one more they didn’t field. And the camera shot showed some weird shadows.
Pretty much says it all. It felt more like WVU defense just got tired and we're a step slow in the 4th quarter. Stiles was in the backfield on virtual every play in the first 3 quarters. Glad to get the win, but not buying that the offense suddenly has it figured out.

Or Voldemort--pretty much the same thing although Voldemort is less evil and a bit nicer.

....or some people are intolerant of others who don't agree with them and like to call people names. Please grow up sometime. Message boards do tend to be dominated by people who do not necessarily represent the population as a whole. It's something I've always found perplexing. Whitver is a Cyclone and is good at breaking things down. That should be enough.
The fact that he is an elected official means the majority of people disagree with you. In either event, get over it and listen to his knowledge of the game.
If he was a "Cyclone" he wouldn't support measures that hurt Iowa State. He's nothing more than your typical grifter and opportunist.
About time to put this thread in the cave...
NIL can easily ruin a team when they throw around too much money for sure. But can also ruin a team that has nothing to throw around. We’ll become a farm team, develop and recruit and then one of the big guys will throw a bag at them and they’re gone. We need it to retain, not recruit
What’s wrong with Jack Whitver? After reading more of the comments I understand some don’t like him. Fine. I am interested in reading about the Cyclones win on Saturday, not political stuff. That should be in political stuff.

Sure seemed to me like Dekkers was more comfortable yesterday moving the pocket around and rolling out to sidelines.
