I would rather get blown out. I can’t take another winnable loss

 

I get that, but I have a lot of respect for how your program has been elevated. Campbell has made y’all a solid program that is at least competitive in all your games. Yesterday’s game was unthinkable 5 years ago. To me, the biggest ingredient you’re missing this year is David Montgomery. I expect y’all to be better next year.

We’re just an inconsistent mess. 

I for one am hoping for a plethora of quick kicks.

-9.5 is a lot for the OU team that played last night.

Our running game is pretty effective, actually. Our offense is pretty effective in general. They don’t make a ton of mistakes, they just make them at the worst possible time. Missing a little “clutch”.

The bigger issue is our defense is not getting as many turnovers (they have dropped 15-20 INTs) as previous years. They’re also HORRIBLE at 3rd and 10+. I bet our opponents are converting on over 50% of their 3rd and 10+s.

The weakest link is our special teams. Collectively, they have to be the worst in the league.

OU has a lot of good refs. 

Bufu U had to use most of their Rig12 ref stamps on the Tech and TCU games, and are saving the usual 3-4 for the Texas game.

Well to be fair we probably need less Dicker game winners if our special teams isn't complete dick .

I foresee Duv 6 carrying this game with 2 spectacular TDs.

As long as the Texas DB's don't fall for the Purday pump repeatedly it should be a close game. If they can't contain themselves and keep falling for that it could be a long day for the Longhorns defense. Bob Knight would love to have that guy on his team.

Not if the ghost DC that called press coverage in the 2nd half against ksu is back.

I want to believe, but Todd Orlando is still employed and the offense is still taking first quarters off on good days, and the whole first half on bad days. ISU covers.

UT fan:  Didn't you see how bad we suck??? We have this loss wrapped up.

ISU fan:  Didn't you see our last game??? We suck way more and will lose.

UT fan:  Are you f'n kidding me?  Our coach does ____ and ___ to suck.  Eat shit and die stupid ISU fan...

Not sure why the Texas offense tends to have such slow starts in the 1st quarter...

I could describe last Saturday in the same way, only this version has "athletes" using a football passively.

You guys win by 7-10 points. Campbell always loses to Texas, and usually by this margin.

Did you read the pre-TCU thread at all?

Matt Campbell hasn’t played a truly competitive game against Texas, ever. In none of those seasons has Texas been truly dominant. In all but maybe one, ISU has beaten (sometimes badly) teams that beat Texas. Every year, Texas snuffs ISU with relative ease.

Why is this year different? We aren’t better than we were the last two seasons. You aren’t worse. I mean, you clearly think you’re worse, but your current trajectory seems similar to last year.

 

Last year's Texas team would boatrace this year's Texas team.

Easily.

Grinch and Orlando should be butt buddies.

Vegas said Texas wins vs KSU. Vegas says ISU wins. Not getting the feels. They always know something.

ISU is in trouble because....we are now positive for punt return yardage.  worm turning and all.

They are terrible. We should lose convincingly.

Not for you guys under Herman. He’s fully aware of what can happen in Ames, being an architect of probably the wildest thing to go down here. I think it’s why he can scrape by Kansas, lose to TCU, and dominate us.

 

Texas outright is a stone cold lock.

Not even the power of the reverse jinx will work this time.  I have my serious doubts

JOR-JA seemed a little boat-racey to me, especially early on.  But I get the point.

Texas plays much better against teams running antiquated offenses.  It's the only time Orlando doesn't shit himself.

Dude, you're supposed to be a Cyclone fan and tell us about them, not just describe the longhorns back to us.

You guys don’t understand how worthless our kickers are.

I have a sinking field you’ll know full well come Saturday

Purdy’s gonna go for 400+ on us

No. They'll suddenly nail kicks they aren't capable of.

This would be amazing.

In all likelihood, we won’t kick much. They’re so bad that Campbell has started going for it on 4th outside the 15. If it’s too close to punt and longer than a PAT, we won’t bother

Still waiting on Texas to play a complete game. It’s always something. Orlando, offense stagnating, stupid penalties, special teams miscues, etc....just don’t get it for a team that is so well coached.

Hahahaha. 4th down? Don't be silly. 

Maybe we'll beat them by 7 points a last second field goal.

I'll revise- This year's Texas team would have little to zero chance of beating last year's Texas team.

And that's being generous.

You're kicker will nail two 60 yarders and your punter will be the talk of the nation after Saturday.

Depends on the game.   Just looking at conference games, last years team played pretty damn shitty football against bad-to-awful OSU, KSU, KU and TT teams (all worse teams than this years version of each).  The team that beat OU, ISU and UGA did not show up every game.  People tend to forget that.   It's just that this years team has yet to have anything resembling a complete game.
