Down goes Iowa State

The empty seats in the south end zone were probably largely due to people going inside. I was at the game, so I don't know what it looked like on TV. How many people left early, I don't know, but it took forever to get out of the parking lot.
As for the game, it was probably the worst ISU has played this year. Cyclones were the least penalized team in the country going into the game, and got penalized 8 times -- and every freaking one of them was a killer. (Not complaining about officiating. The calls were legit.) Lost the first fumble of the year, too, at the TT 20. Had a first and goal at the 1 and false-started. Had an interception in TT territory negated by hands to the face. Even with all of that, however, it came down to letting TT go the length of the field in the final two minutes.
Yeah — should have mentioned that one too. Bizarre indeed, and although it was a great night for the offense and I thought Lester called a great game, it was inexcusable, IMO. Why ask for problems?
A Ferentz wrapped gift for playing the wrong QB and also not realizing how good of a running back they had at the time - they needed about a dozen things to go right to win that game. Lol at their kickers 51 yard attempt today and of course hits a 54 yarder with ease. The new stupid 2 minute rule change also saved them. 2014 deja vu - inexcusable loss. They were begging to lay down in the first half and Kirk was happy with field goals.
Those two teams play each other last night, iowa destroys them just like they did Wisconsin. The big 12 is really bad, outside of maybe BYU.
Can't agree more, but the fact is ISU won, and Ferentz should be shown the door.
It's so weird, it's like an all or nothing thing with our coaches and offense. They're either going 100% all-in on the boring, ineffective stuff... or 100% all-in on the new Lester stuff. The QB tush-push has been probably the only consistently effective thing our offense has done the past several years, but we get the ball inside the 5 now and... NOPE... you fans wanted change, that's what you're getting and we're going pistol formation and passes every down. It's like, hey, you could mix in a little bit of the old stuff that we know would work in that situation. That cost us the ISU game, having the ball near their goal line twice and coming away with only 6 points. QB tush push gets us a TD on one, possibly both of those.
ISU is lucky they don’t have four losses. If this was the NCAA tournament, their resume would be REALLY bad. Fake ID indeed.
A loss was a long-time coming for ISU. B12 is horrendous … and no way was ISU a playoff team. ISU loses, Nebraska loses, and Iowa rolls … it was a perfect Saturday.
Now they just need to give us our win back. They never needed it.
I’d trade it for one last night.

Said no Cyclone fan ever….. 😜
I was laughing my a$$ off at their fans who were booing over every call. Even the ones for their team. What a bunch of morans.
