Don't let the buzz go to waste. Maintain and then watch the Holy War tonight with our new conference mates, BYU. They have it worse than us, 10 straight losing streak against their rival.

I always thought of it as the word “roads” but with a goal post in it, “H”.

Thank goodness we have the best coach, the best tight end, the best QB, the best running back (THAT part is true), the best O-Line, the best front 7 (THAT part is true).
But, there is more to the game than that. At least we play in the Big 12. We will be fine.

Disagree. This is a team that could stay in the top 10 all year, could win 10+ for the first time in school history, could stay in the playoff conversation, and either make the playoffs or go to a NY6 bowl again. Winning in September is important for all those things. Also, beating a top 10 rival on the featured TV game of the week would be huge for the program. There are a lot of important things to play for beyond a B12 title.

There are very few things more important than winning the conference title. And Iowa isn't one of them. Sorry. Could/should this team be able to do both...absolutely. But we are talking either/or here. And I'm not going to slit my wrist tonight over this, or wish for the good ol days of Danny Mac beating Iowa.........then losing to UCONN and Boise State in the same year.

If we don’t beat a bad UNLV team by 20+ to get the spark back I’m going to be seriously concerned.

It'll be a slow burn, 24-10 kind of win. Never threatened but still working oit the kinks or whatever for a nice team with 20 ******* starters back.

I hope this isn’t like 05 where the D kept going ‘here you go’ and then the O would **** the bed and stall.

Honestly, I hope we go into Vegas next week and have our offense snap it into shape and assert our will on them. We need to just dominate a bad team to get things going.

I wouldn't be concerned if this was just a bad game, but this is a well established trend at this point. CMC teams have been bad the first month of the season every season. We should be over that by now. We have 20 returning starters on what on paper may be the best team in school history and we have looked like ass on our home field two weeks in a row. That is not acceptable.
