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

[FarminCy]

I'm normally not negative on here. But I'm officially off the CPR train. This felt like the 90s again. Time for a change.

My son has a football game next Saturday. No longer upset about missing ISU game.

 

[cyclonez7]

Richardson is 0-2 versus FCS teams...

 

[im4cyclones]

If we fire Rhoads, who would come here? In all seriousness, why would you coach at ISU? We are a black mark on Herman's resume. Will be on Mangino's too.

 

[AuH2O]

I say we go full-on early 80s SMU. How much worse would the death penalty be than this?

 

[Rick]

Will this be the biggest win for an FCS school over a power 5 ever?

Are you serious? Last year they beat a KSU team that was ranked. App State beat Michigan when they were ranked. This is an ISU team that won 3 games last year.

 

[GTO]

Oh crap, I recorded this abortion.

We can just forget it happened, like how NDSU forgets about the last time we played.

 

[Go2Guy]

All of you calling for Pollard to make a change consider this: it will be his third time selecting a FB coach what, 8-years? not many AD's get the opportunity to make the biggest decision of their job three times. he would need to get it right. i say stick with Rhoads

 

[uthaman]

Did PR morph into Walden?

 

[Cyhart]

What channel is the Cyclone reaction show on? Admittedly i dont know. Ive never listened. But want to today!

This is why you don't play an FCS opponent. It's because it is not an easy win. Nothing to gain. Better to get blown out by a Power 5 opponent. I totally disagree with our scheduling philosophy. Based on a very small vision for success!

Rhoads Year Six looks like Walden Year Six. It's still early but this thing has been headed in the wrong direction for a few years now. We should give this a half-season as plenty fluke games happen every year, but this could get out of control quickly if there's no clear progress in wins and losses.

 

[fsanford]

Oh crap, I recorded this abortion.

Delete, Purge, Destroy, Destruct any of those are your next step.

 

[AuH2O]

Injuries killed us: Bundrage and Farniok were 2 HUGE early losses. Cotton-Moya getting ejected also killed our defense. We must have the worst f'n luck of any sports team not named the Cubs.

If a power 5 conf. team loses any four players and becomes that outclassed by an FCS team replacing a head coach and a ton of guys, then you have no hope.

 

[Clonedogg]

Are you serious? Last year they beat a KSU team that was ranked. App State beat Michigan when they were ranked. This is an ISU team that won 3 games last year.

again I think he meant point margin.

 

[3TrueFans]

I wish I could have those 3.5 hours of my life back.

Sorry buddy we lost at home by 20 to an FCS team, theres no excuse for that.

 

[ruxCYtable]

I say fire Rhoads, just make Mangino the interim head coach and go from there. Losing to FCS is one thing, getting blown out and looking like you don't belong on the field?

I've defended Rhoads till now but just can't do it anymore. Fire him now, install Mangino as interim and HOPE AGAINST HOPE you can get him to stay on permanently.

 

[Go2Guy]

so if we drop Iowa and FCS schools - who do we schedule so we can consistently make 6-6 bowl invitations?

 

[FarminCy]

apathy

Sadly. That's kind of where I am.

Even worse. Lots of long time die hard season ticket holders that have sat with us for years are there. Overheard quite a few talking about going ahead and taking a vacation,trip, etc instead of making all the games.

 

[kcclone33]

No, I,m not kidding. It was a simple quick out and Sam overthrew a six feet ******* five inch target. That cannot happen.

Yeah he overthrew him. It was going out of bounds tho. He put where only his guy shouldve been able to get it. Obviously it didn't go down that way... Freak play.
