Beating TCU would be a mandate the process is working. Need to get blown out.

Went to downtown Ames bars after the game. Took all the small bottlesof Fireball, etc. I had leftover and put them on the table. Even put an empty one between the cleavage of one of the waitresses. She gave me this evil little smile. I told I was sorry and gave her a hug. They were real.
The OU CCG was a lot like the Prohm Purdue game for me. There was only 1 freaking way to get down ‘big’ - and they was if the coaches weren’t prepared and didn’t have the team prepared. The offense also looked clueless for much of that game, also (again) playing nervous and undisciplined, relying on a long shot come back to make it seem like a close gritty game - “those gosh darn Cyclones never give up!”
Holy hell I think I still have nightmares of those 4th quarter false starts (wasn’t it back to back!?) and the batsh*t insane Hail Mary random INT from Purdy on 3rd down when he could have just run for the 1st down, yet did not actually even know what down it was.
Ya know what would have been AWESOME? Preparing to WIN the CCG and actually take advantage of the opportunity! Actually winning 10 games.
Agree with others - that likely was the “peak”, during a Covid year that MANY teams threw in the towel for.
I like your list. Gonna add the band. I like that they seemed to let them wear whatever under the coats, probably to stay warm.
A huge bunch of them were going around the stadium, assumed it was the seniors. With the snow and ice all over the place, I inched along everywhere I went, but the hot chocolate dudes and the band were skillfully flitting around on the ice carrying heavy stuff.
Having my feet in the snow was really again the only cold problem, much like KU in 2013. I need to haul in a shovel next time.
That was a stupid play by Brock, but it was preceeded by our genius OC not getting the play call in on time so they were left scrambling around trying to get the play off before they got a penalty.
Campbell could have called a timeout also and settled them down when he saw the clock was about to run out, but he just stood there.
This was actually the play when I first starting questioning the competence of this coaching staff. They've really done nothing since that suggests they are improving in game strategy either.
He missed the first short kick. I think he made the PAT so they were going back and forth a little.
I've got a question. At the end of the TCU/Baylor game where TCU ran a running play with no timeouts and then started substituting their entire special teams players starting with 15 seconds left; why couldn't Baylor do a slow play substitution and let the clock run out (like TTech did to us forcing one of our timeouts)? The refs weren't standing over the center or even checking for Baylor substitutions. They just set the ball and got out of the way. Is there some rule about special teams or the last play of the game? BTW, I hate that late substitution rule as it's never worked in our favor.
True. This may be why soccer is not hugely popular. American fans want more scoring.
I guess Cyclone fans are good Americans!
His legions of supporters believe he earned this right to be this way. Probably saw the real opportunity to get a good contract and ride it out.
David Montgomery just scored up the gut from inside the 5 yard line.
Oops!
Wrong game.

Still mad about last night. Hard to understand the play calling.
If a goal in soccer was worth 7 points instead of one, Ecuador would have beaten us yesterday.
