***Official "Let's get this over with" TCU vs. ISU Gameday thread****

[ISUKyro]

Roads to Sam: throw a pick so I don't have to punt. Now the fans can blame you

 

[Dandy]

Seriously Sam? You finally get more than 3 seconds to throw and you still make a terrible play.

 

[ThatllDoCy]

I mean, I get the benefit of a doubt, but come on that wasn't close.

 

[BoxsterCy]

Ball was on the ground, bet they still give it to TCU

 

[Amesboy]

They need to incorporate a Little League 10 run type rule and call this ridiculous beat down at half. We don't even want to be out there.

 

[Althetuna]

Hit the ground.

 

[cygrads]

first time I've seen TCU's stadium full or kinda full.

 

[CyCloned]

fire CPR, I just can not stand this BS anymore. So sick of this crap of hoping that your defense will somehow rise up after a season of getting hammered.

 

[atlantacyclone]

That ball is on the freaking ground. Whether it stands or not? In other words... maybe the conference wants to give TCU the bigger win!

 

[CycloneErik]

I just want them to play this game for what it really is: their bowl game. This is it, the last game of the year. There are no records to worry about, no consequences to being aggressive. Pull out all the ******* stops to try to win this thing

Exactly. We all know that our team is bad. They know it, too, but you can't mail it in.

That's what endeared us to Rhoads in the first place. He wasn't going to back down, no matter who we faced. Now we just roll over and die.

 

[cyclonez7]

I bet this stands

 

[tim_redd]

That whistle is going to get a workout today.

[atlantacyclone]

If that is an interception then we had one on the previous drive!

 

[ISU62]

with the way the team has played all year I don't get the thought that if we pull out all the stops that will work.

 

[Dandy]

NO ONE WEARS VISORS ANYMORE, GARY.

 

[dirtyninety]

If Leath does not demand that Pollard clean house in this very high profile endeavor of our institution, we will be known as the "Iowa State University of Science, Technology, and Poorly Coached Football". The perception could be that we are an inferior institution, accepting failure. If I was at the CDC, the Dept. of Agriculture, or some other alphabet agency of the Feds, I would consider giving my grant dollars to another institution like North Dakota State or such instead of ISU.

 

[sigh]

damn, was hoping that would stand, could of possibly gotten another apology letter!!

 

[Sigmapolis]

Rhoads did some really great things his first few years.

The teams the past two years have flashed and have had some AWFUL luck with injuries, officiating, and just not being able to pull out close games like Rhoads did the first couple years.

Still getting "piggy squealed" by any good team we face is getting old, though.

I'm not saying you have to beat OU or Baylor or something. But 35-21 would feel nicer than 70-0.

 

[BoxsterCy]

Montgomery, gamer!

 

[swarthmoreCY]

Injuries have really hurt this year, but damn, CPR is just not good enough as a head coach overall. The next coach, whenever that may be, will have a bigger challenge than DMac.
