ISU's Super Bowl?!?!

[vosov]

How the hell do you look past an opponent? I never understood this and its a weak excuse for a loss. Are you about to make a tackle but right before you do you start thinking about playing Iowa in 2 weeks and let the guy go as you ponder the Iowa game?

I could buy it if they had a ton of mistakes, but they were run over. They won the TO battle by two, and I don't think they had a ton of penalties. No matter what happens this Saturday, it doesn't look like many of ISU's issues are things that can be resolved in season.

And an opponent that is two weeks out?

If we take his word at face value then there is more wrong with that program than just bad recruiting, coaching and marketing.

In the words of Chris Williams, they had a "quiet confidence" going into that game. Oops LOL.

I agree with you. They looked physically outmatched. Iowa on the other hand did not look mentally prepared last week. Lots of penalties and bone headed plays. Exactly how a team looks when they aren't taking the opponent in front of them seriously. Or at least I hope that's the case.

Based on what? One game? Please. They have a good team and a great coach, they just came out flat. Had we lost to UNI in 2009 on a fluke kick at the end of the game, would you have said Iowa had D-1AA talent that year? Flukes happen in football, guys. I don't understand why guys don't get it.

Lol................love the sarcasm, man.

Kansas is really bad.

Not as bad as the clones. Mark it down! KU beats isu in Ames this year.

Does anyone know if Chris Williams speaks in the third person. He kind of seems like a person who would. Sort of like Bob Dole? "Chris Williams says that Chris Williams thinks UNI was a bad loss."

A Cyclone fan on here said earlier this week that Oklahoma is their Super Bowl, so no, Iowa is not ISU's Super Bowl. Oklahoma is the most important game Iowa State will play this year.

And Oklahoma says, "Who?"

I'm pretty sure they've played Oklahoma like 75 times. Pretty good rivalry there.

According to Winsipedia, ISU and Oklahoma have played 77 times. ISU has won only 5 times, and not since 1990.
