***OFFICIAL: NDSU @ IOWA STATE GAME(DAY) THREAD!***

[HouClone]

Rhoads is the best guy for our program but now having a twinge of doubt.

 

[brett108]

Best lineman gone. Best deep threat gone. Starting safety gone. This team is cursed. Farniok should just hang it up. No NFL team will pick up a guy who breaks the first game of every season.

I started watching after it was 14-0....

 

[awd4cy]

Glad Im not at JT right now, contemplating whether to go to any games this year.

Me too. Sadly I have a ticket for next week. Probably be out of JTS by half.

 

[UraMallas]

Where is lakebison? At least he can add some entertainment.

Probably enjoying his superior team play football. I would be.

 

[FarminCy]

Steady stream of people leaving stadium.

 

[Chipper]

Chris Williams just said because of a sore throat the Cyclone Reaction show will be replaced with the recording of reaction show following Okie State game

 

[CycloneWanderer]

We have no depth for center. Whoever is backing him up is so ducking bad we literally can't run a simple play. We looked great with farniok in. I hate how our best players keep getting hurt.

 

[CyJack13]

Looks like CPR has taken us right back to Chiziks level.

Now he just said replaced with a Sounds of Nature CD.

The Packers might. We only sign players we know are going to get hurt

 

[sdclone]

That's all folks. The defense is spent and I would be surprised if we ever stop them the rest of the game, ad in no pulse from the offense. Pretty embarrassing!

 

[jdoggivjc]

I would rather just schedule Alabama and lose by 80 than to an FCS team. I just can't stand FCS losses.

Alabama wouldn't schedule us - we'd destroy their SoS...

 

[simply1]

I like CPR also, can't offer up much of a defense at this point.

 

[MIClone]

This team might be worse than last year's team.

It would be very tough to argue otherwise. Richardson looks exactly like he did last year. The Rohach that won the last two games looked way better than this guy. I do not get how and why he lost the job to this guy.

 

[MSP]

Can't wait for next weekend....dormat role engaged!

 

[dirtyninety]

No surprise here.....still hard to watch this coaching staff and team mail it in. Even two Manginos can't right this ship. Where did Rhoads start to fail? We had ascenscion potential until the 2 point conversion fail vs. Nebraska? The phone recruiting mess was contrived and did not help our recruiting.....especially infuriating that it was so petty compared to what we know Nebraska and Ohio St. do.
The Pinstripe Bowl was probably the point where we saw that "that's it". This team is poorly coached and poorly prepared. ND State is well coached and well prepared.
Who in the hell booked this game too??!?! Pollard? Ugh. We are back in 1995 or 2008 all over again.

 

[CycloneErik]

Rough start for Mangino, WOW.

Turns out that even Mangino needs some talent on the field to coordinate.

 

[swarthmoreCY]

Last season was the first year of 100% all CPR recruits. No Chizik recruits, and it as the worst team he has put on the field. Now we are seeing another team that doesn't look very good.

Recruiting does not concern me as much as roster management and development. It is McDermott like- as is the peeing down your leg when plays are there to be made.
Losing two years in a row to FCS teams located in Iowa and North Dakota pretty much takes away the ability to pass it off on things other than the coaching staff, not only in these games, but in others.
