This is the source of a lot of the confusion. It wasn't a foul. At all. It was a change in the state of gameplay. The ball became immediately dead. It's not a *penalty* it's just a dead ball by rule. Same as if he had been standing on the out-of-bounds line when he fielded the ball. No foul...

GG. See you next year.

I saw it as damned if you do/damned if you don't. If you don't go for it, you're questioned why you wouldn't seize the opportunity to knock off a ranked FBS opponent on the road. If you go for it and don't make it, you're questioned why you go for it when your team hasn't been able to move the...

I think it's natural for any college QB to have a drop-off when losing a receiver and running back to the NFL. Purdy may have also benefitted from being inserted into the offense in early-mid season last year. There was no real film and no one had prepared for him. Teams now know he's the...

Wasn't it? UNI rushed for 1.1 yards per attempt. That's most likely the D-line getting early contact. The linebackers had 7 tackles for loss which doesn't happen unless the D-line is eating up blockers. Every ISU running back went for 4.3 yards/carry or better. When every running back who...

We strictly don't deserve it right now. If we actually have success this year, maybe when we host Texas in November.

It's not my first time here. I probably will only spend a couple of weeks here because then the ISU/Iowa game will have come and gone and I won't really have anything to discuss with you all anymore. :D There's idiots and homers everywhere on the internet. Engaging with my own fanbase is boring.

Trying to be as objective as possible, as an ISU fan. The good- We had a couple of promising drives slayed by penalties at the worst time. We had two plays into the red zone called back, and turned potential touchdowns into field goals. We statistically dominated and if we clean up shooting...

You should probably re-evaluate your priorities.

As an ISU fan, it's not like we're just super dominating you guys or anything. We have looked far from convincing. I'm worried as hell.

Kirk wouldn't treat it any way, if the decision was made by the AD. You're deluding yourself if you believe that any coach would nobly decline to play players that had been officially cleared to play.

It's Pollard's decision on the suspensions, not Campbell's.

I didn't say it was 'more likely the other way around'. I said it was most likely that neither impacted the other significantly. I also pointed out that ISU's facilities have been named after members of the program for much longer than Iowa's, meaning the claim that ISU was just 'copying' Iowa...

Fair point. I was simply drawing the connection between another school with a very similar weather event nickname that also settled on a bird mascot. Okay? The TigerHawk isn't a real bird. Random? I saw a post that was making some wildly inaccurate claims as the basis for a smear and spoke...

I never claimed to be trying to do that and the thread wasn't about it in the first place. Ok.

If knowing stuff is something to be ridiculed for, I'll gladly accept that. The alternative is ignorance. I don't believe there's an award for that.

You could certainly claim that was what you took away from the entire discussion if you were being willfully ignorant, yes.

Didn't read my post at all huh. The TigerHawk logo wasn't created until 1979. The association of birds and the UofI didn't start until Herky. The connotations of 'Hawkeye' were specifically tied to the Black Hawk tribe and Native Americans (and to a lesser extent, the character Hawk Eye from...

The cardinal was chosen because depicting a tornado as a mascot was conceptually somewhere between difficult and impossible, and Iowa State's school colors naturally lent themselves to the cardinal. I might also mention: Weather patterns as mascots are difficult.
