I know we≠the players and the players≠us, but at my glance there's not a single TTU post on the first page of main or football forum.

What are your thoughts on this game? Is it a trap? What do you think of trap games in general? Valid or mostly trired narrative?

1-10 how nervous/excited are you for 11/13?

I'm just mostly concerned that it might be a trap.

Has anyone actually been to this stadium? These tortilla tossers aren't skinwalkers are they?

Legitimate concern I guess. Who has ISU ever beaten six times in a row? Like others have said, WVU seems like it was the classic trap game. Rose being hurt didn’t help. OSU was a grinding physical game and I think it drained a lot out of the guys.

I am very relaxed going into these final three games. I feel like this group (Purdy, Kolar, Rose, Breece, Chase, Enyi, Will, Tarique, Anthony, Hummel, Eisworth and others) now knows that this is it. Their backs are against the wall with respect to their goal of a conference championship. I truly believe we will get their best. Good enough to go 3-0? Who knows. But I don’t expect them to leave anything on the field. Can’t wait to see what happens.

OSU was the most physical game of the season and ISU really maxed out to win it.

The next week ISU was just bad while WV maxed out.

ISU really wasn't that sharp for Texas (early anyway) so hopefully they keep the edge for Saturday.

Tech has plenty of redemption on their end so I expect a tough game from them.

You are what your record says you are...this is another chance for ISU to define things.

I'm still personnaly upset we let the huge year slide out of our grasp, especially the Iowa game, but I agree. This team has a lot to play for still and will give it 100% for all their teammates who decided to forego their careers and lives to try and do something special.

By definition it absolutely is. Playing an average or below average team on the road right before your toughest opponent of the season.

Every game counts with 3 left and only sitting at 6 wins…. Does it not feel good to not be satisfied with 6?
