Water cooler Cyclone talk

[UNI92]

At work listening to some bitter ISU fans talking about how the game was a fluke...After I stopped laughing, I made these points to them.

UNI was:
More physical, more skilled, had better coaching, had the best player on the field, tackled better and followed their game plan better.

I'm convinced that if we played them 10 times, we'd probably win 7 or 8 of the times.
I have coached football, was at the game and know that I was witnessing a better team dish out an ass beating to the other.

I read the stat line to the game as well and told them not to let the facts get in the way of their argument!! Priceless!!

Re: Water cooler Cyclone talk

Anyone saying our win was a fluke is absolutely clueless about football, even sports in general.

ISU had no turnovers. None. We had two. Yet we were in victory formation (for these ISU fans, that means taking a knee on the snap because you've won the game).

In all fairness, ISU alums/fans I saw at a party on Sunday said UNI was just tougher, better and seemed more athletic overall.

Does your place of work really have a water cooler?

Why go into a long winded explanation? 28 to 20. In their building. What else needs to be said?

Exactly...we punked em out and traded them for cigarettes

and yes...there is actually a water cooler there...pretty lame but we all chip in for water. Gives me an excuse to break up the work day to go pee

If the game was in the dome isu would have crapped their pants. Seriously they had a huge crowd cheering them on and they were still out classed. In the dome they would have burned all their timeouts in the first quarter.

I wouldn't exactly classify a 28-20 win as punking anyone and stealing their cigarettes, but on to your previous post -- the way Northern Iowa played last Saturday, they would have beaten Iowa State 9 times out of 10 and by a wider victory margin in 7 or 8 of those.

If David Johnson had fallen into the endzone with his fifth TD of the night, giving him 200 yards and the Panthers a 15 pt. victory (instead of fumbling on the ONE), would you classify it as such? I would. That was one poorly secured ball from happening.

Not even close. Northern Iowa beat up Iowa State on both sides of the line of scrimmage, but the Panthers had no answer on defense for Sam Richardson, who threw for 2 touchdowns and no interceptions and rushed for 71 yards.

no answer?? - the fourth quarter was the answer - tightened coverage and repeated mauling of little #12 when he didn't have anywhere to throw.

Richardson had 12 of his 74 yards rushing and 69 of his 242 yards passing in the second half. I think UNI figured out an answer for Sam Richardson.

You do realize we fumbled the ball on your one yard line going in for a td & then fumbled inside our own 20 so you were given two gigantic gifts...right?

Richardson had a decent game but to say "no answer", the red kool-aid must be flow'in again. If your team needs him to rush that many times every game the poor guy won't make it half way through the season. If there was a offensive player that you want to label as "no answer". Look up the stats lines I think you can figure that one out.

Re: Water cooler Cyclone talk

I haven't read all of the threads, but was that really a fumble inside our 20? Since we won, it wasn't discussed much. When do you consider the ground causing the fumble. The hit didn't cause the fumble, but it popped out when he hit the ground, but it was only his arm and the ball that hit first, then his head.
