True, but we really didn't show much against NIU. Everything we ran was very familiar and, for the most part, pretty vanilla. So I like the fact that we have a game under our belts and they don't. You could see our first game jitters in the form of dropped passes, inaccurate passes, penalties, etc. I think we'll be much better for it next week.

Vegas requires the game to be played 55 minutes for it to count.
Do those 5 minutes count as a game? The NCAA has the 4 game rule now. Would this count against that for redshirting purposes?
Interesting stuff no one thought about.

Saturday when they meet Iowa it will be their first game so that's a bonus for Iowa. I doubt that the suspended clown players are going to be suspended for the Iowa game.
I think it definitely hurts ISU because a team's biggest improvement is usually between game 1 & 2. I think the teams were pretty even going into the game but I thought ISU had the advantage before Saturday because I thought Iowa had the more important suspension and their cohesion in game 2 would suffer especially in the offensive line. BUT I didn't realize ISU had Good-Jones their best OL suspended and for having both tackles suspended I thought Iowa played good. Now with the whole ISU team not having a game under their belt, I think its definitely an Iowa advantage.
The point of the suspension is for the player to miss a game and only play in 11 games, not watch others play and you sit on the sideline. Since the 12th game is questionable if they thought it was important to be a game if a 12th was scheduled, I would make it the makeup game.

No, it was for them to be suspended for one game. If it was about the number of games played in, then they wouldn't be allowed to play in the conf. champ game, the bowl game/or playoff game(s). The point was for them to miss a game. They won't miss a game.

All know it is Clown week and Clown bashing time! I pray for the day this game is removed from our schedule so we can get a more respectable team, but until that day comes, take care of business.

Your deluding yourself if you think pollard is making any decisions about football players, without Campbell's consent. The punishment was mutually decided upon. Same as this decision. Don't try and shield Campbell with that "AD's decision" bull shit. Nobody is buying that.

This makes no sense, won't Frost be preparing for the CFP?

I would be curious to see how KF would do it. I would not be surprised to see him hold them out, and honestly, I wouldn't blame him. The suspensions are there to punish a player and teach them how to become upstanding adults.
I would hate to beat a team that isn't all there, but injuries happen all the time. And I don't see too many people complaining about beating a team with an injured player out.
Part of what makes one team better than another is depth. Play the hand you're dealt.

And, apparently, lack of discipline.
Iowa wins, they have their suspended players back when they technically didn't sit out a game,
Isu wins, iowa had no tape on the game
Let's just play, stop looking for something to bitch about

My question is this: If the game is cancelled, can clone fans still blame the refs because they didn't win?
