Re: Don't panic!

Not everyone can be as cool and classy as PR, I guess.

I personally couldn't get too offended at the PA guy. But I suppose everyone is free to have their own opinion.

And I agree with PFan. Jay Grassley is a blast to listen to at home volleyball matches. Though it probably drives opposing fans crazy at times.

Re: Don't panic!

Iowa State has the nation's second toughest schedule, or something like that, in the ENTIRE NATION when looking at their opponents combined win % from last season.

There aren't many teams that would put up 8 win seasons play Texas, Oklahoma, Nebraska, Iowa etc... every year

hey '83, I didn't know you were my coworker at the B12 offices.

Re: Don't panic!

First off I didn't get to see the game. Unfortunately I was in Traverse City, Michigan at a wedding (please question my UNI football loyalty...)

I normally over-react in these situations, but IF I try and be rational, we have beat what appears to be an Above Average NDSU team. They really got after USD. We blew the game against SFA, but we learned alot playing against the Pre-Season AA QB and they had 2 AA defensive players. Iowa State is the only team on our schedule that actually has more talent than we do. Would anyone on here actually feel better if we lost by 1 point instead of 27? I actually feel the embarassment will make us work harder. The rest of the year, the defense should be able to keep us in any game. Lets just get the offense and billy to pull their head's out of their a$$.

GO CATS!! 9-2!!!

I doubt Iowa State wins another game.

Iowa State will win another game. Iowa State will probably get to 5 wins, a feat that less then the 120 some odd teams in FBS could do with that schedule.

Re: Don't panic!

Name 3 Iowa State wins on that schedule the rest of the way.

Re: Don't panic!

Their next four games are stone cold locks - for the other team. Kansas is a possible win, they won't beat Nebraska, so they have to sweep Colorado and Mizzou to get to five wins. I'll be stunned if they find a way to pull it off.

It'll be tough. But outside of Texas, OU, Nebraska, and Utah, ISU will have a decent shot at winning the game.
Kansas, is Kansas.
Colorado, not that good either.
Texas Tech, First year head coach, horrible offense this year, but a good defense. They are pretty much the exact same type of team that ISU is. Glad the game is in Ames. Very winnable game.
Mizzou, will probably be the toughest of those four. Again, game is in Ames on Senior day. I haven't seen anything from Mizzou yet to crap my pants.
And heck, if the Texas game was at home, I'd almost have that as a decent shot to win. They got smoked by UCLA this weekend.

ISU has a great shot at winning 3 more games. With the schedule we have this year, a 5 win season would be good. A 6 win season would be awesome. But, the KSU game was a must win, in order to get 6.

Good luck to ISU the rest of the way. The fact that UNI left a large puddle of pee on the field at JT shouldn't be held against ISU.

A BIG puddle to say the least. We have NOT scored A POINT in the last SIX quarters of football. Two shut out quarters in the second half against Stephen F. Austin and four quarters in Ames.

One other thing...and there are many...in three football games Schuyler Oordt has caught just nine passes. This guy is a pre-season All American receiver. Don't you think we ought to run just a few more plays designed to go to him?

Re: Don't panic!

Guess that makes UNI below BELOW average, then...

I just don't understand the ISU trashing at this point. All it does is makes us look like really sore losers. Kind of reminds me of how certain NDSU fans act sometimes.

Conversely, if our offense hadn't totally shot themselves in the foot, and UNI had somehow managed to win the game, people would be gloating about how we'd beaten a Big 12 team and all and that should impress everyone (i.e. NDSU after Kansas).

Can't have it both ways.

There you go being logical again!
