Can the Panthers take down ISU on Sep 3rd?

Re: Can the Panthers take down ISU on Sep 3rd?

From what I have seen (from far, far away) is that ISU has some concern on the D line. The ends seem to be the strong part, but the is some FUD about the middle. Not saying the new or old guys are/were bad, but the ISU DL was not viewed as the strongest unit on the team last year.

I think the main thing is lack of depth.

I would disagree about the DL. Losses of Bailey Johnson and Rashawn Parker will be felt, but the coaches have come off as optimistic about the improvements of that unit. Ruempolhamer, McDonough, and Lattimer came on strong late in 2010. Maggitt is finally closer to B12 size, Patrick Neal is an experienced backup, and there is plenty to be hopeful of with Willie Scott, Rony Nelson, Cleyon Laing, and Brandon Jensen.

We'll see if David Irving, Henry Simon, or any other newcomers make an impact.

I think the unit as a whole has good depth but the question is if 3-6 guys can be standout performers instead of 6-8 guys being just mediocre.

yes because Rhodes is obviously a better coach than Chizik.

Don't care how he got it, Chizik has won a National Title at a school that his Iowa State's coach left.

When you compare their two years in Ames it is obvious that R-H-O-A-D-S is at the very least a better coach for ISU. Try making the case that he isn't.

Rhodes may be a better coach for ISU than Chizik was, but you cannot deny a "National Championship". I don't think Roads is even on the same level, but Rowdes does deserve some credit for taking a bad program and getting it in a better situation considering the conference that Rhowds is coaching in.

So, Rhoads has done better at ISU than Chizik at ISU. Yet, I should for some reason believe that Chizik is a better coach for ISU because "you cannot deny a 'National Championship'"?

I don't care if Chizik is hypothetically a better coach for Auburn. I want the best coach for Iowa State.

I totally agree with you that Rhoads is a great coach and fit at ISU. I don't think you can say Chizik wouldn't have been successful though. Rhoads had a lot of Chizik's players (and Mac's) his first year when they went bowling.


Food for thought, Chizik was the last ISU coach to beat Iowa.

Re: Can the Panthers take down ISU on Sep 3rd?

Chizik was a terrible fit for ISU. He was used to having the 4 and 5* types around him. That, to me, doesn't make him a better coach. All that says is that he can get high talent to perform. He couldn't get ISU's talent to perform and the fact that he could only muster 5 wins in two years is all that needs to be said. Coach Rhoads is a true coach. If you can't see the difference, you either know zero about the game of football or you're just too blind from your purple glasses.

Re: Can the Panthers take down ISU on Sep 3rd?

Chizik is a much better coach for Auburn than he was for ISU. When you hire your fishin' buddies as your coordinators you get what you got at ISU. That was a dumbass amateur hour move and it showed. If Chiz would have won a national championship with McFarland and Bolt I would call him a freaking genius.

But why is the level of the ISU team never mentioned in relation?

One thing I've learned from reading this forum is that
the opponents have no effect what-so-ever on the outcome of games involving UNI.

If UNI wins, it is because they are awesome.
If UNI loses, it is because of the mistakes they made.

Re: Can the Panthers take down ISU on Sep 3rd?

Knowing nothing about that guy, he sounds like a UNI fan/alum or not a fan of ISU.

Was it the fact that he stated clearly up front that he was a UNI fan/alum that gave it away for you?

Thats what EVERY message board thinks about their team.
