Re: How can we make so many mistakes after 2 weeks

Unbelievabe?! Mistakes, Penalties, Fumbles, Jantz not looking where he's throwing......Mack is right Texas is NOT losing to Iowa State!

Worst half of ISU football I have ever seen.

Re: pulling them monkeys from our back

Oh yes, I AM KIDDING. What a ridiculous statement to post.

Easy buddy. I don't think he meant it that way. I know losing brings out the worst in all of us.

 

[2Xclone]

I agree.

Texas went deep for the TD on the next play. Since that screw up by LJ Texas has turned it on, they got mad and we pulled our heads in like a turtle

Yep, the whole game changed on LJ's dumb play
We also need to find a darn FG kicker

 

[aute19]

I'm just glad I grabbed another 6-pack. Ugh.

 

[xboxfever]

Just tuned in. Wow. Way to not show up today Cyclones. Absolutley embarrassing. Someone fill me in on LJ.

 

[Clonefan94]

well, this is sad, it took 3 weeks to build just a tiny tiny amount of respect, and it was gone in 15 minutes, I blame it on Leonard Johnson, that was the game changing moment

His was bad, worst offense for sure, but just look at this game, it seems that every series there is a new guy who's ******* up or ISU. How about Osemele's brain fart when we couldn't afford it? This team lacks discipline and its more and more evident every week. I am really beginning to believe we are doomed as a fan base. **** this school, it's time to move on. I give and give and give every year, financially, emotionally and what do I get back? 2002, 2004, 2005, Utah last year, Texas this year, 15 in a row from Iowa. I'm a 40 year old man, if you were to look at my fandimonium on paper, you'd call me insane.

I like CPR a lot... But I think that my Mother would at least have some points on the board.

 

[shagcarpetjesus]

We might lose, but I'm still feeling good about an ISU cover.

 

[HFCS]

I think we'll get the turnovers under control. It was CPR's first two teams strongest area.

We couldn't keep winning without fixing that. Like the TV announcer said, this is Texas not an easy win like Iowa, UCONN or UNI. We can beat paper tiger Big Ten teams turning the ball over left and right, but we'll go 1-8 in Big 12 if we play like that.

I think we'll turn it around, maybe we can win the turnover battle in the second half and start it now even though this game is clearly over.

Re: How can we make so many mistakes after 2 weeks

to prepare?

ISU can beat this team and we may get routed by stupid mistakes.

2 weeks? this is game 4 after 5 weeks

 

[Clonefan94]

Woops , rerepost sorry

 

[tee1up]

I have a question for the board..lets find games on national TV that ISU looked good and made us proud. I'll start with the 2001 NCAA BB game against UCLA.

 

[StLouisClone]

Only question is, after this game, will Paul Rhoads be responsible for both of the two worst home-field blowouts in Iowa State football history?

I was thinking about this. I think he gets the guys so jacked up before the game that they often make mistakes early in the game. You can get away with those mistakes against UNI and UConn but not Texas.

 

[wclarson]

Re: When is LJ going to be held accountable.

it was unacceptable and changed the outcome of that 1st half

 

[Yellow Snow]

I need a new hobby.

Can somebody explain to me WHY this always happens when we have a chance to gain some respectability? Seriously...

We ***** and moan about late season attendance, but holy ****... this is EXACTLY why...

 

[Stewo]

We might lose, but I'm still feeling good about an ISU cover.

lulz

 

[laxtonto]

No, I want them to play football. Not run trick plays up by four touchdowns. They don't need to run every play, they don't need to throw slant passes every play. But just play football, not this ******** trick play **** up by almost 30. It's classless and that's all there is to it.

You do realize who thier OC is and where he is from? All these plays are just part of their playbook. Just becasue they are non-traditional does not mean they are bush league... Complaining about it does not absolve the fact that the team essentially blew all responsibilites that are built into various defensive packages.

Write it off as a fun play that ISU screwed up on and move on. If they are doing this late in the 4th you might have a complaint, but not in the 2nd Q.

 

[HFCS]

We might lose, but I'm still feeling good about an ISU cover.

Did you forget the sarcasm pirate? I'd be THRILLED if we somehow beat the spread in this thing. It would probably help Texas get ready for OU though. As it is I'm thinking this just inflates UT's ego and OU drills them next week.

 

[cyrocksmypants]

Eh, I'm over it now. Mack Brown has never shown an ounce of class before, so I don't know why I expected him to start now. Really, he's perfect for the University of Texas and their fans and alumni.

I hate top say it, but THEY are playing football.

Be nice if ISU would.
