    As fans, I can't believe we're at each others throats on a quarterback controversy that will literally have no bearing on win/loss... I mean, we're conditioned to argue about something I guess... But this is like arguing which historical bad ass pilot do you want flying a plan with no wings and failing engine...

    B. Chuck Yeager

    If everyone is getting into the playoffs I'd have no issue with BYU and Colorado State being in the league.

    Personally, I think even the Big 12 payouts are probably bordering on "law of diminishing returns" kind of cash and fans bragging about how much money their school makes while their team sucks is the dumbest flex I've ever seen in sports.

    I wouldn't mind BYU or CSU either.  I like WVU, but they really belong in the ACC.  If that happened the other options get interesting for 12 in that scenario.

    In 2004 I was disappointed, but not that mad because the team was so young and 2003 is still the absolute worst ISU team I can vividly remember.  I was like "well, shit.  But next year is going to be amazing."

    2005 is the ultimate ISU nut kick season.  All 4 losses featured really bad calls at critical junctures, complete and utter chokes on our part, and at least 3 of them featured both(!).

    Dan McCarney may have been fired after a poor 2006 season, but it was the '05 campaign that truly cost him his job.  We should have been 11-0 rolling into Houston to get Vinced.

    Yes... Nebraska 2OT game winning INT dropped, Baylor Endzone fumble,  Chase Daniel's coming out party OT loss at Mizzou, and the overturned TD during the first year of instant replay at OT loss to freaking Kansas...  then after all that... the 1st down replay that was ruled down before the line to gain by a "wrist" to give TCU the ball back late in the game.. yep.

    The closest I've come to crying as an adult man.  Culbertson pushing it right will never leave my memory.  Motherfucker had made 21 of 22 attempts after taking over for Tony Yelk and missed a (I think it was actually) 24 yarder.  CCG at Arrowhead...FUCK!  FAAAAAACK!!!

    I remember how quiet the stadium was when people were walking out on the cold and gloomy day.  It sucked.

    We are more worthy of P5 inclusion than half the Pac 12.

    If that guy thinks Oregon State and their 30,000 fans keep a seat at the table, while Iowa State, an AAU school, that made more money than USC last year, and averaged better football attendance than all but one Pac 12 school is getting the boot, he's absolutely ignorant of the reality of modern college athletics.  This isn't 1994.

    Exactly... Obviously a biased viewpoint here, but ISU brings more to the table than most give them credit for.

    This game is exactly what this team needed

    I think there is something to this.  West Virginia is a flyover state in a conference that was dominated by East Coast schools.  They might be geographically close, but they were regarded as trash by the Big East fanbases, and I think they just took that and played right back into it.

    The Big 12 fanbases being from the Great Plains vs. the East Coast didn't bring that kind of bias/superiority complex.

    I just read the Land Thieves (Dirt Burglars) realignment thread for the first time in years.  Jesus, that's a pile of fan fiction if I've ever seen one.

    I post over there... OU48A is convinced that OU goes to the B1G.  It's all about thier "business acumen"

    UNI only plays us this year and they’ve only given Iowa one close game over the years. I think the Big 10 has discontinued playing FCS schools.

    They’ve beaten us 3 times since 2007 and it makes me physically ill thinking about it. 90% of UNI alum (including a stunning number of athletes) are Iowa fans, and they are the most bizarrely arrogant sports fans I’ve encountered in my life.

     

    I hate the UNI game for those reasons.  I'd rather Iowa State spend the $600,000 we pay them on another team to come to Ames.  The Clones are 22-5-3 vs UNI. It's basically an FCS rivalry game.

    Never.  2005 was close, probably the closest it's been.

    I was going to say 2002 when we had Seneca Wallace and Iowa had Brad Banks.

    Lol. Isu will lose to Northern Iowa and all hope for the season is lost.


    At least you'll get the inevitable heartbreak over with early

    As a Cyclone fan... that would be terrible
