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

[Dreamyfred]

If CPR goes, who do you realistically think we are going to get? Last time I checked Saben has a pretty good job, Johnny Majors is retired and Lombardi is still dead.

You can't do worse than losing to FCS teams at home back to back years.

 

[CYISFLY]

The offense just looked unstoppable in the first qtr. what the hell happened. Hope things can come together or this season is going to rival last yr for the amount of suckiness

So teams like NDSU and CSU can get a decent coach and we can't?

 

[acgclone]

Jesus our O-line is bad. This is not on Sam.

OL is bad
Sam is bad
WR/RB/TE average at best
DL is bad
LB's bad
Secondary bad

That pretty much equates to 2-10 or 1-11

 

[cstrunk]

Sad face. Looks like a 0-3 win season.

 

[Cydar]

Oh no. We suck again.

[CycloneErik]

That makes this thing more acceptable how?

It doesn't. Nothing makes this acceptable.
But I'm just pointing out that having more scholarships doesn't matter if the players aren't good.

 

[iowastatefan1929]

we just dont ball man; no ball at all. as soon as we were punched in the mouth it over. it seems like whatever rhoads says he is stressin we seem to stink at. oh golly. isu and vanderbilt welcome to the abyss man.

 

[jbindm]

Honestly, NDSU hasn't done anything this game that has impressed me. They won't repeat their fcs championship or whatever they want to call it. Once again, we get a shot to the nuts due to injuries, and proceed to suck.

C'mon now. Injuries are going to happen. NDSU was just head and shoulders better. They executed better, they were more physical, and once they sensed that they had momentum they stepped on our throats and finished it. Emphatically. I don't know where the season goes from here but I damn sure hope this was rock bottom.

Time to pull the plug on Wally and Rhoads. They are out of their league recruiting. The chizik recruits have all graduated.

 

[Rick]

I havent read any of this but this is pathetic. The offense gets two good series and then goes to hell and then the D gives up huge plays on consecutive drives. Waiting for everyone to tell me how good a coach Wally is again.

 

[Rogue52]

Inexcusable performance. Losing is one thing. Being schooled by a FCS program is another.

 

[Cy$]

******* embarrassing. Time to clean house on this football program after this season.

a couple of reasons why this won't happen.

1) The fans. Until the fans stop showing up to games, CPR won't be canned even if we go winless. JP wants money, everyone knows this. It's great we have good fans relative to the success of the program, but sometimes you need to say enough is enough and hurt JP with not donating. I don't see our fanbase doing this. (See McCarney, not very popular here but didn't can him until ticket sales went down).

2) CPR's excuse will be injuries, new OC. I'll give the offense some time to improve, however, the injury excuse is ********.

3) The stupid contract ISU gave him. 10 year deal for 6-6 seasons? Honestly is a bit pathetic and says a lot of the ambition of the program. People will say CFH, he's deserved it and some, multiple NCAA bids, conference title in the tourney, Sweet 16. Way more success than CPR has had.

Unfortunately, we have CPR imo 3 more seasons, better hope they get their stuff together.

 

[CoKane]

Nice to see moderators are still working? How are you defending this dumpster fire, guys?

Yeah, lets remove all the posts anf ban all the people mad right now. We might not have anybody left though

 

[jdoggivjc]

To tired to look for it but does anyone have the Simpson gif of the crowd with pitchforks? That should be us at JP office for some heads to roll

 

[fsanford]

It's official. I miss the Walden days.

I heard this season was dedicated to Jim Walden.. And it shows.

 

[AWOL2000]

Our strength and conditioning is terrible too. Getting worn down in the 2nd half is one thing but the second quarter. Unacceptable.

 

[brett108]

I'm about to pull a Robin Williams as I watch this game....

Too soon?

Nope. Extenuating circumstances.

 

[CycloneErik]

You can't do worse than losing to FCS teams at home back to back years.

Watch the rest of the season and see if that's true.
This team just might be destined for some pretty spectacular things. Problem is, it involves 10+ losses and some other landmarks along the way.

 

[iowastatefan1929]

we are really really slow everywhere. what the heck. sounds like they need to get the heck out of the weight room and work on some speed drills instead. one win season im callin it.
