***Official Iowa State @ Iowa Gameday Thread***

[norcalcy]

This. I hate Iowa more than anyone but their teams always are outstanding at the basics. That is why their redzone D is always so good, that's why they always convert on short yardage situations, that's why they win football games in the trenches. We can still turn it around but it's just annoying that if we were mistake free until this point, we'd be up at half.

Absolute effing torture to watch this program play. Just waiting for the **** up and never disappointed. Not blaming the kids, but the $2 million man in charge. Sorry, but this is one of the last winnable games on the schedule. Big 12 is going to be brutal.

Give it time! CPR has only been here for 6 years!

Yeah! **** CPR for dropping that INT! And then to make it worse, he fumbles going into the end zone!

 

[MaccloNe]

When does Hoiball start?

 

[CoKane]

Now guys, stop being bad fans. We have to remain positive or we are fair weather fans or trolling. Everything will be ok.

 

[cyatheart]

Just lot of stupid plays to less stupid plays

 

[GoClones123]

So much negative! We have the ball to start the second half and the offense was showing some great bursts. That fumble is a back-breaker, but we are only down by 11 and with a few adjustments should come out swinging 2nd half. Time of possession is 20 to 10 and we are still within striking distance. If we can mange a couple of scoring drive and one stop to start the second half we are in the lead. Go Cyclones!!

The only issue is statistically we rank tied for last in second half offensive point production

 

[BloodyBuddy]

Why do I keep putting myself through this ****, life's too short

 

[norcalcy]

He is. He looks decisive and has time to throw (that combination is effective).

Sam does look good. There is that bright spot. Happy for him.

 

[HFCS]

I know many we scream about the bad PI call but it's led to our only points. Knowing us, we would have turned it over after getting the automatic first down.

It could have cost us 4 points or saved us 3.

we know for sure it's the latest instance of a mind numbingly bad manipulation of the game by b12 refs

 

[CysRage]

I am as ****** as everyone else on here but you all are making it sound like we are down 49-0 at half. WE ARE DOWN 11 AND GET THE BALL AT HALF PEOPLE! Still 30 minutes of game time left! ...Sheesh

 

[cycloneworld]

Talent wise, Iowa isn't much better than us...if at all.

 

[heitclone]

opening drive of the second half is huge, gotta put up points

 

[cyclonedave25]

I'll drink my own urine if our players could actually execute plays in the second half. The first half **** show is 100% on the players, not the coaches.

 

[AWOL2000]

I'm calling it now. Cyclone comeback. 31-24 final ISU takes the Cy-Hawk.

 

[EnhancedFujita]

Yup and we've been so successful in second halves this year

 

[urb1]

What's sad is that this is the best QB play we've seen in years...

Richardson again making good throws and good decisions.

I can't stand those sideways passes five yards behind the line of scrimmage. Where does that ever get us?

 

[CyBobby]

Give it time! CPR has only been here for 6 years!

6 years that has seemed like 60.......Rhoads had better start winning or this season might end without a 3rd win.......

 

[HFCS]

Odd that I just saw a pizza ranch commercial on espn in chicago

 

[DuckDynastyCy]

He is. He looks decisive and has time to throw (that combination is effective).

Oh, just wait. There will be a few complete idiots who will pin this on him somehow.

Gotta hold on to the damn ball. Hard to watch.

 

[CyArob]

Keep in mind that we are going to get curb stomped in 2 weeks. This is our best chance to get a win until Mid-October.
