Starting a thread about the wheels coming off at halftime is a full-on bail on the team. Just giving up on a game... that's at HILTON! Never thought I would see that on CyFan but that's what two close losses will get you I guess.

True enough,but it was only halftime,and there have been other games this season we turned on the scoring in a half.
Well he said he was done. Guessing he went to bed after halftime like I am sure a number of folks watching on TV did.
Threads like these are why I wait until after the game ends to talk about things like this. No worries though, all is forgiven. We are all Cyclone fans and we all thought we were in serious trouble.
respectfully disagree with your assessment of what I was thinking at the half. If this was a road game, then maybe...
At halftime, we asked the five year old girl that sits in front of us if the Cyclones were going to win, and SHE said "You bet!". I think maybe we could learn something from that.
I didn't stop chewing my knuckles until the last possession...but damned if they didn't come through for us!
Proud of our Cyclones tonight...they didn't quit.

For those of you saying "Good job, captain Hindsight" and all that, it wasn't exactly a wild thing to believe ISU could come back. Oklahoma has already blown huge leads on the road this year. They lost to Creighton(!!!) after taking an 18 point lead. Last year's ISU team made a habit of winning from behind. At halftime I told my family it wasn't over yet. Granted, I wasn't flat-out predicting a victory, but this had to be one of the most likely comebacks, when you think about Oklahoma's inability to hold onto leads on the road, ISU's tendency to come from behind and win, and the fact that we were the higher rated team playing a home game at HILTON.
No, I didn't expect to come back and win but I knew it was far from over at halftime. We're the king of that. Oklahoma State's football program can tell you about how fun it is to try keeping a lead in Ames.

No, I have seen too many comebacks at Hilton and with this team and know how good they are to count them out. If down 20 with 5 minutes left sure, but it is Hilton and HALFTIME.
Just because we didn't come on here and go chicken little at halftime doesn't mean we too thought the sky was falling. Let me be clear. I will NEVER not think the cyclones will win or have a decent shot at winning at halftime at a game at Hilton, regardless of the score. Never.
