Makes snese. We're terrible and have nothing to play for. They are going to be playing for style points.

We've only lost one game this season by that much, though it was to Oklahoma, who TCU is better than.

Re: TCU -30;5

I'm taking ISU all the damn way.

1. These boys know they can have an upset. They won't win, but they'll fight harder than any other game this year.

2. TCU knows they're playing ISU. They know they need to put on a show to make the playoffs, but at the same time, I doubt they all bring their A game.

Re: TCU -30;5

Is that the highest spread ever vs. ISU?

At least it gives ISU some national attention.....?

Why would they not bring their A-game...

I agree with this. They probably bring their A+ game. They need to annihilate us to ensure there's as little doubt as possible in the committee's mind.

We were 27 point dogs when we knocked off Okie State. I have to think that some of the spreads against NU back in the 90s were higher than 30.5

Re: TCU -30;5

Only reason I say it is because I just think they're going to be a little lax. Bank on the other 10 men on the field to kill us.

The "It's just Iowa State" mentality, I think, is going to kick in this game.

And yes, I know what's on the line.
