Two bad teams, Clones are worse. 30-24 TCU wins

I'm trying to figure out how best to explain to my wife that putting the house on TCU is a good idea.

It's not.

 

[awd4cy]

If we can put more than 7 on the board I will be pleasantly surprised.

 

[CysEyesVet]

I'm looking forward to seeing this game. This one and Kansas give me hope to see one more win this season before we can erase it from our memories and move on!

It was just announced that TCU's starting running back Waymon James has been suspended. That and their top returning wide receiver probably won't be available. This can't really hurt Iowa State's chances.

This here is just, well....

@FollowtheFrogs TL, TCU could be without RBs Waymon James and B.J. Catalon, CB Jason Verrett and WR Brandon Carter vs. ISU.

I'd feel a little better if SR was starting. He at least has been capable at one point in his career. I haven't seen anything from Rohach to suggest he can sustain offense.\

Hoping things start to click for us on Saturday.

ISU will win this weekend.

You spelled Messingham wrong.

Well, I'll just stick with the old line we're familiar with. If TCU scores more than 24, we lose.

fixed.

I honestly feel like this is the week the season starts to turn around. Of course, we'll get pounded in Norman the week later, but this weekend is maybe even a better shot at a W than Kansas is right now.

I agree if you mean not getting blasted at home by more than 3 touchdowns. What kind of turnaround are you talking about at this point in the year??

A turnaround as in a win Saturday, then hopefully a close-ish game with OU, followed by close game/wins against KU and WVU

Did they adjust the line, or are we still 7 point dogs to a team that has like 10 starters missing.

as of now, still in the 7 to 7.5 range.

 

[Wesley]

Sticking with my original call: 7-6.

 

[mikem]

ISU will win this weekend.

It may make that iowa michigan state double overtime game from a year ago look like a classic, but I am with you.

Dude, injuries are not an excuse.
