*** Official #16 IOWA STATE vs #15 Arizona State Big 12 Championship Game(Day) Thread ***

[Koala]

Are we seriously debating Rocco on this thread?

The conversation really needs to be about QB coaching as a whole. Development, not coaching bad mechanics out of their game, play design and calls that exacerbate those poor mechanics, consistent poor O-Line play that makes their lives harder than they need to be...

Just a no-show in all phases of the game today. Hard to believe with so much at stake.

Not really

 

[bosco]

I don't care what you say ASU is on the list. **** those *******

 

[Marcelason78]

Trust the process, they said.
Win in the margins, they said.

Don’t forget what Saban said at half— you’ve got to tackle. Not saying that was easy. Skatebooo was the best we’ve seen all year.

The Hail Mary was a pipe dream. The management before the 2 minute warning was where it was lost. Such simple stuff but has a huge impact. Impacts every play call in the 2nd half being down 14 instead of 7.

Yeah, kudos AZ State...but that pre half is a great example of what you pointed out. Play that right and we come out of half hopefully in striking distance....instead deflated

 

[CloneIce]

We didn’t lose this game in the margins. We lost because we couldn’t tackle, because they they made plays, and we came out from half w three turnovers. We melted downf for a quarter and half.

Boys vs men.

 

[Marcelason78]

Carsen got the ball 4 times (*5 if you include 12 Player Flag on ASU) on the first drive. He touched the ball 10 times the rest of the game.

Not that it would have made a big difference in this game, but I get your point. We’ve seen this pattern all year and I hope we break it next season.

Eh. Have to lead the league in goal to go false starts

 

[BWRhasnoAC]

Straight out classed at all levels.

Frankly, I wouldn’t be shocked if even Brecht is considering a transfer. Imagine what he could do with an O-line and better play calling.

So the Rotters are now out in full force again? What'd it take this time? A loss in the CCG. Got it.

I swear some of you people just look for something to c/o about.

Let me break something to you. We will always struggle uphill in this conference, even as it is now.

But the OL, play calling and players will all get better when we get a new coach. OK. You didn't have to say it, but I just did, for you.

We'll see you next year, after 'whatever' loss. It'll be like clockwork.

Everyone needs to chill. After watching ISU football for the last 58 years I never dreamed we’d have 10 wins in one season.. The future is still bright for ISU football.. This year was something to build upon..

 

[cyclonestunners]

Re-al Mitchell deserves a shot is all we’re saying

I'm more of a petras guy myself

 

[cycloner29]

Tough result but can report Sweet Caroline's is a great place reminds me alot of atmosphere in OC's better days.
Saw they had a dishwasher opening and applied.

Also got to meet another cf member, thanks to @cycloner29 for stopping by to say hi.

You are the man, the myth, and the legend!

 

[Iluvteak]

He led his team to 10 wins...I think we should stick with him. He drives you nuts and he does have things to work on. His accuracy can leave him from time to time

Rocco is such a gamer you gotta love him. And makes some great throws. But he’s 5’10 and that makes it tough to play big time ball. I know the program says 6’1 but that’s a fantasy. So many batted balls cost us big this year. It’s a sad but needed conversation that will be had.

 

[CycloneRulzzz]

You are the man, the myth, and the legend!

Glad I lived up to the hype.

Yeah, you are right, that was the difference today.

 

[UNIGuy4Cy]

Donate to We Will!

 

[CySmurf]

Great season. Way better than expected. Tough day today.

The biggest area we need to improve next year is the front 7 on defense. LB, but DE also needs to improve.

We lose both Higgins and Noel too...so WR will need to be addressed.

 

[Gunnerclone]

Yes. It’s certainly better that your petty hatred get satisfied than the Big12 getting more revenue by advancing a team in the playoffs.

Oh yes I’m the bad guy because I don’t care about few more Pennie’s in Uncle Scrooges vault.
