Offical Postgame thread

My overall grade is a C-. Lots of room to improve. If we see improvement, this team can win 5-6 games. If not, we are looking at around 3 wins IMO.

I agree.

It looked like we just did enough to win. It looked like we really held back. If that's the case and we make some steady improvements, we could win 5-6 games.

If last night was full-out, 100% of what we got...we may win 2-3.

I didn't read the whole thread, so I'm probably re-capping what everyone said.

Arnaud was alright. ARob was very good. The o-line was so-so. The defense...I was getting very frustrated watching them try to tackle. I learned how to wrap people up when I was in 8th grade football, but apparently some of these guys never learned it. It seemed like every play someone was thowing their shoulder into the running back with their head down, only to look up and find out he bounced right off of them.

I'm kind of disappointed in our performance, but I won't let it overtake my excitement about the win and for our season.

One thing I was VERY disappointed in was the crowd. I was in section 17 in the SE corner, and ISU was on defense down there on a third and five within the twenty, yet I was the only one clapping. Okay, I like to stand and scream, and I realize not everyone does that, but is it so bad to clap for your team when they need you to make some noise? What's the sense of going to a game if you're not even going to clap or get excited for your team.

I just don't get that one, and if anyone can explain a logic to it, I'd love to hear.

That is what you get when you sell minipacks with Iowa tickets included.

3 wins. Awfully hard to find a 4th.

Lets not complain about the crowd. Jeez. It was a the biggest opening crowd since we opened against Iowa in the 80s.

Yeah but what's the point of having a big crowd (obviously other than financially) if they're not going to make noise? It's not supposed to be home field advantage because of the coin flip, it's supposed to be home field advantage because the fans should be making a ton of noise for their team.
