^^ so true.

KFs coaching record and decisions at Ames are enough to make ISU the favorite. I know the bookies give 3-5 points for home field advantage but they also have to know how close KFs coaching decisions keep games and how underscoring his offenses are.

Not a total rag on KF as I like him as our coach. From what I hear and read he wants the best for players and them to get an education. He doesnt seem to cheat which is high on my list. But he has made some interesting coaching decisions overall and in Ames, more clutch decisions that are negative than positive.

The Clones are at home in this one....
 
Well if KF works the team out today instead of resting them it wont help.

ISU always shows more emotion that the hawkeyes. Never understood that.

I know the the game is in Ames, I mentioned it in my post.

So that means that ISU is 3 point dogs at home even though they are getting another 3-5 points. The bookies must really think ISU is bad cuz the point I am making is the bookies have to give ISU about 3-4 points for KF decisions

Our coach has the personality of a librarian and the fire of a clinically depressed armadillo. That's why.

Those usually come out later in the week. I would guess it will be in the mid-40s. Both defenses are just as bad as the offenses. I'm not so sure it will be *that* low scoring.

"The coach who tries to get his kids sky-high emotionally," the former dual major in psychology and sociology atMichigan went on, "is the coach who's always gonna have that big letdown during the season. He's the guy whose kids are gonna get knocked off by that last-place club. You keep giving the kids that needle every Saturday and that point's gonna get awfully dull. Anyway, all kids react differently. You can tell one kid something and you'll get him jumping right out of his shoes with enthusiasm, and you tell another guy the same thing and he'll look at you and say, 'Hell, you're a little balmy.' My own concentration is on football, not emotion."

I've noticed that for a long time, but especially yesterday when he was interviewed before the game. I don't wish this on anybody, but he looked sick. Not flu sick, but like he has a disease. Just looks so lackluster.

Cute quote. Now go find one applicable to a coach who is a total flatliner and spends more energy chewing gum than he does motivating and coaching up his players.
