The idea that we have top flight receivers is the most repeated myth on this site. Call me when they make a block, or consistently run tight routes, or catch the ball with regularity.

They didn't seem to have a problem catching Lanning's balls.

One hour and 27 pages and no fat jokes! There were several pages of fat jokes when he was hired, yet none now! It's not like he died of diabetes or a heart attack people! Where is your gallows humor?!?!?!?

Always thought Mark was an *** after the Cyclone Recruiting party when I watched a guy ask him for a picture and Mangino ripped him a new one! No idea what he was mad about.

I think Paul was telling everyone something when he said he had no idea why Joel didn't get more snaps against TCU. Could be a huge boost for the team, he wasn't well liked at KU when he got axed as well. Hopefully we get rid of the east and west play calling now.

That, my friends, is who he is. I was glad to hear he's had some personal "reflection" in his time away from head coaching....I also knew some folks who knew him during the KU days....one's core character usually doesn't change.

Many on here are talking about a "rift" that's been around since day one...let's remember..."coach speak" and such is how this all works. It's part of the game to send MM out to the reporters and he knows what to say...and CPR has to publically say nice things...and Cyclones.tv will run a story about how great MM is, etc...that's how it works. You'll never see a "fall football preview" show that is 100% honest and such...that's sports.

Pretty simple, throw MM and SR under the bus in a desperate attempt to save Rhoads job.

wveryone on here had been ******** about Sam playing and Joel not. And now that it is happening you are ******?

You obviously missed the discussion about not being able to throw Mangino under the bus.

Our offense sucked with Mangino. Our offense sucked with Messingham. Our offense sucked with Herman (who is widely respected, and about to be one of the most sought after young coaches in the game)...

At no point in the Rhoads era has our offense not sucked...this move shouldn't change anyone's opinion on whether Rhoads should get more time or not.

There is so much misinformation and speculation that could have been cleared up by actually watching the press conference instead of getting worked up over clippings. People could go watch it now but their opinions have already been formed.

It's a bad trend going around here lately including the "Pollard trolling Baylor thread" and the "Rhoads doesn't like Lanning" threads.

Regardless of fault, blame or reason, we now have a disgruntled employee off of the ISU football staff. I ask this seriously and do not need any snarky replies, but do we have to worry about our signals and play calls being tipped to our future opponents? Opinions?

Boxerdaddy counters with Mangino fat joke.
Ruxcytable sees it coming but can't stop the sheer mass. Ruxcytable -93 HP.

Does a joke about a fat joke qualify? Sorry if so for ruining the streak. ;)

You have to wonder what the "truth" is in this case. CPR clearly didn't seem to be too impressed with Lanning, which leaves everyone who cares wonder what the heck he is seeing. It will be interesting to see who starts at QB this week.

or maybe he didn't seem too impressed because mangino told him he was starting Sam. Maybe Rhoads was letting his Oc do his job until today. We don't know.
