*** OFFICIAL Iowa State at Texas Game(day) Thread ***

[Spam]

You must have missed tonight's game. CPR's team went toe to toe with Texas in Austen and our offense was finally clicking against a good Texas defense. It was a really ****** ending, but CPR's team fought hard and I feel good about the rest of the season (and the future of this program). Wish you'd have seen it.

I loved the effort today. But let's not pretend Texas isn't one of the worst teams in the Big 12 this year

Sometimes I hate our fans. I am sure all of you who are ****** and done with them, predicted a loss and when they lose you act like its a shock. Sam became a better qb today.

The Cyclones kick and Paul Rhoads' wife, up here in the press box, is heard saying "We'll win in overtime." God bless that family.

I saw a defense that played a bizarre man to man scheme with no safety help over the top in a tie game in the final 20 seconds with the opposing team deep in their own territory. Loss is 100% on the defensive staff, I can't fault Brackens for missing that coverage, he should have never been in that position in the first place.

Credit to the offense, they answered the bell at every opportunity, but the defensive staff should take a long look at this one...

We would have ******* if we were in prevent defense.

True.

All the more reason to want to steel a victory when you can against them.

Hammer meet nail. Well said. Another note, a very well officiated game.

It's nice you find that funny.

Nobody should be fired. This game was lost mainly on defensive execution. Mark Mangino carved up Texas' defense with 45 points and 530 yards total offense.

Why hey is that so funny? Trey is kind of a **** for posting that.

I'm not happy, but I have to be proud of the fight. Just wish we were 4-3 instead of 2-5...so close! Best 2-5 team in the nation doesn't mean anything. But we are an improved football team from a year ago, and we are making major improvements this season. Maybe we pick up 2 more wins...and then hope for better next year.

I feel so bad for the O. They put up those kind of numbers and can't even call it a W. That's got to be deflating.

I understand being mad and sad but our offense did something it hasn't done in years. Two outstanding drives at end of halves.

 

[ianoconnor]

That was pretty much our last realistic shot at getting to 6 wins.

Our shot at 6 wins left town with the Bison.

It is funny. Sounds like Rhoads' wife was getting a bit arrogant. Sucks we lost, though.

Not at the down, distance, and situation. Normally people complain about how our defense gets chunked to death 5-10 yards at a time because we play DBs way off the line of scrimmage and lots of safety help over the top to not let anything behind us. With 20 seconds left who cares if they chunk you, they run out of time, take the game to OT. It's mind boggling that the coaching staff makes this decision at this point in the game... I'm not on the fire Rhoads bandwagon by any stretch of the imagination, but I'm curious to see what he says about it in the postgame press conference. Richardson, Bibbs, Lazard, Montgomery, Wimberly all had huge games tonight, but the defensive play calling was not putting the team in a position to win tonight.

We win and everyone is like "yeah, his wife is awesome, so confident!".

Some of you ****** are reaching for ways to rip on people tonight.

I hope Mangino never leaves.

I do too but the d has saved them many times over the years and has kept an inept offense in games. Things are improving.

And if if fans who claimed to be done would actually be done, it would be nice.

it sounds like she was trying to be positive. Some of you are real ********.
