We might want to temper our expectations on regards to the polls. Ask TCU how beating the shit out of ISU worked out for them.
Not quite the same scenario this time around.

I think Campbell will leave after this year. Rebuild next year, shrinking conference footprint and the knowledge he wont over take Iowa instate soon.

Looking at CF this morning and they’ve learned nothing.
Of fucking course they haven’t. That’s the hallmark of ISU fandom. They could have literally lost by Dougie’s Million and it wouldn’t have changed a thing. This fanbase is uniquely incapable of anything resembling self-awareness

They really need to pass to set up the run. Petras was 6-7 on their two scoring drives with five completions on first or second down. He did get sacked on one first down. Problem is if it doesn’t work a few possessions they usually will revert back to exclusively running on first downs as they probably think they won’t do any worse then an incomplete pass or sack.

Run game isn’t getting better without passing opening up onearly downs.

It would be smart for him to leave, but I'm not convinced he's all that smart.
This. Matt Campbell is a Meathead, Advocare selling, dumbfuck. It’s why he’s the perfect coach for that fanbase

I actually think it’s MORE likely that in his mind…he “can’t leave ISU until he beats Iowa.”

Getting Schott back will help.

Actually @The Dad ….this got me thinking. I’ve read more CF than most since that game ended yesterday….and I can’t think of ONE SINGLE POST yesterday where one of their fans said something along the lines of “maybe we were just a little overrated.” Not one.

There are 90 new threads about what went wrong and what they need to do differently. I can’t remember a single post suggesting that maybe they just aren’t as good as they were led to believe.

Iowa had flashes of offensive life in the 2nd quarter. Gives me hope that things could get better.

Holy shit is this guy a thin skinned little bitch


Iowa St is the only fan base I am familiar with who refers to the players by their first name. They are all so fucking weirdly invested it’s beyond creepy. And they go hook, line and sinker for every new trend and tradition.

Their existence is a constant flail for relevance.
