This game is why we are the team left outside of the BCS when realignment comes up. I was shocked by the goose egg Minnesota put up today. No BCS conference team should EVER lose 58-0. Then what happens? We put ourselves in the same situation. There is no excuse for EVER being down 34-0 at halftime. EVER.

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, was it 17 in a row from Iowa? I'm a 41 year old man, if you were to look at my fandimonium on paper, you'd call me insane.

**** this school? **** you. Move on. We clearly don't need you. Thanks for visiting.

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

LJ's personal foul was a huge momentum changer. Its pathetic how much this team turns the ball over too, there is no excuse.

The PF was bad but we need to forget about it. Those things happen from time to time. If the team dwells on it, we could go on a long losing streak like we did in 2008.

ISU RB's in open field, go down on 1st contact

Seriously how can SJ or White go down so easily when they get to open space and then someone grabs there legs they go down.

Re: Finding some good news

Tell that to the national media. Granted we have the rest of the season, I'll give you that. I still think Rhoads has one for OU, they are due, but we have to get this blowout monkey off our backs or we will always be looked at as the Iowa State Hawkeyes. There is a reason we have no national relevance. This game proves why that is.

Yes...but we can't worry about what the national media says. If it was up to them we wouldn't win another game for the rest of the season.

The team still has a ton of potential!!! Everybody has a bad game. Besides, this was Texas' superbowl. Look at all the trick plays that Mack Brown had to pull out of the bag in the 1st half.

More worried about longterm. When UT knows that the run is not an option and they can pin thier ears back and go after it, Jantz is going to get beat to death back there.

This is as much about talent as it is about scheme. UT changing everything on both sides of the ball changed a lot of what people expect them to look like and the limited film is not going to have everything on it. I am waitng for UT to do on D what they are doing on O. At some point they are going to line up in something that we are all going to say WTF...

Re: Finding some good news

It is also why, in all this talk about what BCS teams would be left with no chair if the music stops and everything implodes into four 16-team conferences, we are almost universally regarded as being one of the 5 teams most likely to be left out.

good luck with that

With what, being called insane, lol. I'm pretty sure if you talked to my wife tonight, she'd gladly have me locked up in a padded room somewhere. Probably be good for me for a year or two. honestly, if I just didn't buy a 2012 mustang convertible this year, I'd be ready to go.

Re: Finding some good news

Let's try to look at the bright side of things

1. We were only outgained by 40 yards in the first half
2. This is just one game. It doesn't matter how much you lose by because 1 game is 1 game.

That tends to happen when you have an average drive starting position somewhere around your opponent's 30 yard line.

Time for joiners to leave the board and quit.....again. hopefully there are fans left to cheer if we can get some momentum going.
We gave up some big plays, we made a ton of mistakes, but can hang with this team.

Nebraska is showing why the Big 12 is better than the Big 10. Mid-level in the Big 12, champion quality in the Big 10.

Alright, lets at least win the 2nd half here and get some positive vibes going.

Re: pulling them monkeys from our back

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

thanks Klone. But with the amount of disrespect I get from this board, its hard not to hit back hard.

So its YOUR fault!!!

Nope. I've left from paying attention to the previous three games, and that is when we started coming back. But is we use that analogy of a bubble sheet test to describe that half, it wasn't just an F, it was writing your first name and then drawing a smiley face on the test, crumpling it up, and then throwing it at the professor.

Anyone notice on that last run for a first down, LJ still putting his face in there? WTF? STFU and play the game LJ. I know it's not the defenses fault, and they have to be ******, but come on, hold it together, you look like me out there. lol
