The thread about Pollard is up to 31 pages over there.
Just read through some of them a few minutes ago.....comedy gold. The Bob Bowlsby conspiracy angle is hilarious.

I think we are, as we are probably the worst 4-1 team in the history of college football, but bye week.
Has ISU been on the bad end of some bad calls? yes.
But the bigger story here is early in Pollard's rant:
"Coach Rhoads and I, a year and a half ago, raised an issue...and we were the lone vote...and ever since that time, we've been on the short end of the stick. I don't know how things change, but it's frustrating and it's not fair."
So we have Iowa State's athletics director insinuating some sort of B12 conspiracy because Iowa State voted on something B12 related and was the lone school on that side of the vote and that somehow these bad calls are due to some sort of retribution?
I am far from sold on the defense. We have yet to play a team with an offense.You go too far sir. We have a defense that can play and is getting better. Phil Parker has shown he can get his defenses to address their deficiencies. I trust that side of the ball will be solid.
We have an issue with a playmaker at RB. There is no doubt about that...and I think that's going to be an issue all season. If they experiment and give more carries to Canzeri and Parker (yes Parker), may we can minimize that issue. The fact of the matter is, I think the OL can protect the QB against just about anyone they are going to play, save a championship game against MSU. If you can protect the QB, you can throw the ball. That always gives you a chance.
Worst 4-1 team...I don't think so. If the defense were pretenders, I could see your point...that's not the case.
Only at ISU could this happen...a first half call costs them the game. Never mind that you had 30 minutes of Football to overcome it. Bad calls can still happen...but the old adage that people toss around, MR Pollard, is that you have to be better than one bad call in a game and win anyway. It's called overcoming adversity and it happens in every game.
It wasn't even a bad call. The ball broke the plane.
Between losing to these fn crybaby clowns in our own stadium and refusing to play obviously better QB, anyone still defending Kurt is as brutally excuse-ridden pathetic as Pollard. Now would be a good time for self evaluation and introspection.
Demand better.
Do you have another view of the play? I've watched the video over and over and still don't see anyway there was video evidence to overturn the original call.
Please don't mistake this for saying it cost ISU the game or that it makes Pollards comments legitimate. ISU sucks and it still burns me Iowa lost to this joke of a team, at home no less. Even if it was a bad call it does not cost a team 17 points nor negate the fact that ISU couldn't even pick up a live ball on a kick off. What a train wreck of a college football program they are.
But for that one call, I still see it as horrible no matter what team we are talking about. I have not seen anything that shows the ball breaking the plan of the goal line. If anybody could provide it it'd be appreciated.

Didn't he get kicked out of a high school game not to long ago?

We beat a midtier MVC team. Barely beat a terrible ball st team. Got ran over for a half ag ainst a mediocre at best Pitt team. Beat one of the worst teams in a major conference and lost to another of the worst teams in a major conference at home.
My favorite part of the video was "......we will continue to go through appropriate channels and we feel this is appropriate....."
