This is way overblown, in my opinion. I’ll give you last year as a game we blew, but 2018 we were just very mediocre before Purdy. 2019 we weren’t great, and Stanley did make some good plays to beat us. That’s not pissing the game down your leg. 2017, again was Iowa making plays to win.

2018 ISU played like they were still trying to work through their blocking schemes and slow rolled most of the game. It was weird.

2019 there were several missed opportunities including dropped INTs, fumbles in Iowa's 20, and the punt return mess. Not to mention poor angles on defense that led to big Iowa gains.

2017 we just figured ISU wasn't 'there' yet in a fun game but not stepping up when needed is a trend.

Last year topped it off with ISU flinching but that also was a part of the team's DNA.

Lol having an opinion of a game based on recent history and fact = “I can’t imagine living life with this attitude”????

Hope we win today and I would love it if I’m wrong!

Pretty sure CyJack is Bode from years ago who was full of hot takes like ISU would just throw down for a win despite concrete trends.

He’s been rough this morning. Is that what his podcast is like?

I haven't minded clips from his podcast but his Game Day stuff is kind of like what the NFL has done with bringing Dwayne Johnson down to reprise his Rockness because a football game is happening.

Desmond Howard is probably my favorite on the show when I catch it.

Dari and Mel discussed the Cyclone Larry tweet, or was it a Facebook? Anyway, something about Iowa has 6 wins when offense scores less than 4. The rest of all college football is 1 - 17,653 or something like that since the 1800's!!!!! Thought I saw some discussion whether this is true or just making fun of Hawks. Anyway, on ESPN radio they presented it as fact.

I think he’s great.

Makes this show 10000x better, too.

Is podcast/YouTube show is also very good.

Dude has built a great brand after football

He gives off frat boy drinking his first beer vibes.

People like him obviously, maybe I’m officially getting old

A little bit- very well could be an age thing but I’m 31 and enjoy his antics and energy

I like his analysis when he breaks things down but then next thing I feel like I'm in Cedar Rapids 2004ish with Jagerbomb guy.

There's no way BAY/BYU even resembles a football game, right? BYU was awful last week against Oregon St.

It's one of their best-rated programs.

Crazy. With podcasts, more direct sources of info on the teams you are interested in (like CF), etc I figured Gameday was a dying show.

Plus it’s another 2 hours of TV on top of actually watching football throughout the day. I can barely devote 4 hours to watch our game, nonetheless another 2 hours of ESPN talking heads talking about games I don’t care about for 1 hour and 50 minutes.
