So just because we knew this game would be a **** show doesn't mean we can't be angry about it? Oh, I forgot - "We are Iowa State." We shouldn't expect (or at least want) better.
Exactly!
Some people on here are actually satisfied that TCU isn't going to put up 100 pts on us.... that a moral victory, right? C'mon people. What a bunch of BS.
I'm fully convinced that our coaches don't know good talent. Nothing against Tribune, but these coaches have always talked about how great he is, but he's terrible. I'm sorry, he just is. Sam E. Richardson is better than Tribune, and Sam E. Richardson is awful too.
And we don't have a single Big 12 caliber LB out there at all. I knew TCU was good, and this game was going to be ugly, but I'm so sick of teams running simple plays on us and we have NOBODY within 10 yds of the ball carrier until he's 15 yds downfield. That's just guys not being in the right place, or just physically being dominated.
We are WAY more than a handful of JUCO's away from being good on defense. We don't even have the right fundamentals, toughness, desire, tackling skills, etc, etc. I'm fully convinced that a really good JUCO would come in here and take steps backwards under this coaching staff.
