***Official IOWA STATE Vs Kansas Game(Day) Thread***

[jkclone]

At what point do we start pointing at Pollard?
Pollard's football history at ISU:
1. Fire a man who by most evaluations was a very mediocre coach, but who was able to rebuild a program from little and give ISU success in the early 2000's.
2. Hire a guy who said he was willing to give Iowa State a winning tradition, but then leaves after two season that were as miserable as this one.
3. Hired an Alumni favorite to coach. That coach initially has a great amount of success, but after loosing his first OC, fails to hire a new coordinator with any kind of experience until it is too late. (one must wonder why Rhoads hired from within, instead of luring a new OC to lead the program). Of course, we all know how that final season went with OC and HC.
4. Hired a new coach who..well we can evaluate him in a number of ways, but in the end, W-L record and quality of performance in the beginning of the season, and at the end of the season vs opponents that 'should' be easy wins is all we really need to look at.

I'm not sure we can let Campbell go after one season, but I feel the writing is on the wall for Pollard. I hope he moves on of his own accord.

I wouldn't be mad to see Pollard go but blaming him for football is stupid.

"That's great call," he said.

It wasn't a great call whatsoever.

 

[CY22]

WTF HOW WAS THAT OFFENSIVE PI!!!

 

[HFCS]

If you call that PI, there would be offensive PI on over half of all completions.

 

[ianoconnor]

Not catchable

 

[fsanford]

That was not a catchable ball, that should be pick up the flag, the rule applies regardless of D or O penalty

 

[Dandy]

Our staff is good at recruiting (maybe) but bad on game days.

 

[HFCS]

WTF HOW WAS THAT OFFENSIVE PI!!!

The refs seem like they really don't care about their job this game. Completely random calls.

If you compare the no call when we assaulted their receiver to the other PI calls we've had, it's like they'd rather be anywhere but here.

U sure about that?

 

[wgleason]

not catchable. The TE pass needs to be to Allen in '17

 

[CY22]

Stupid. We were going to try and do down the field, get a call against you, and then fold up and walk off the field. We have no idea what we're doing and coaches can't even make up their minds on what to do.

It's kind of embarrassing to commit offensive PI on a pass 5 yards out of bounds.

 

[CTTB78]

Why are we even throwing to Harms?

 

[GM4ISU]

Do you miss me yet?.....Paul R.

 

[isutrevman]

Harms Can't catch a 2 yard hook thrown right in his chest, why are we sending him on a deep fade?

 

[FarminCy]

Listening on radio. Campbell just called out the team. Which he should!!

 

[Tedcyclone]

remember when I was 1-8, and thought Ill be conservative (penalty or not) against Kansas, going into half??!?!?!?! When they get ball first. My god MC, grow a pair and throw the ball to Lazard again. PLAY BALL. You are 1-8

 

[atlantacyclone]

I still think that we will win this game.. but damn... over 200 yards for KU in just over a quarter.

 

[cc1091]

I wouldn't be mad to see Pollard go but blaming him for football is stupid.

He's the guy who focused on Campbell and hired him.

I'm confident from what I've seen this year, that next season will not see any improvement. Maybe it will take you another season to come around.

 

[19clone91]

Why is our walk-on tight end running deep down the sideline in the first place? Not to mention that was an uncatchable ball
