Yup..because SDST and Iowa have very similar talent on the defensive side. Your oline is going to hand their hands full.

It's nobody's fault. What's that have to do with anything? They were suspended for 1 game, weren't they? How many games has ISU played?
Lol, dude.
Yes, Iowa State will always emphasize Iowa due to playing second fiddle in football.
The whole "Super Bowl" theory is a joke, though. You can't tell me Iowa is indifferent to beating Iowa State. Yes, the pyschology is different because Iowa is always expected to win and has the pressure of "not losing" to the inferior in-state team, but the whole "they beat us because they tried too hard" is such a chicken shit, loser's mentality. If they are really inferior, come out guns ablazing and put their sorry ass away early.
That needs to be the mindset this Saturday and every year. Otherwise, STFU. Prove it on the field.
They were suspended for the South Dakota State game................ You act like it IS their fault.
It's a bullshit rationalization. And funny as hell they are trying to push it as logical.
If it isn't the student athlete's fault the weather was bad, then neither is it the fault of the fans who bought tickets. They should be fully refunded. Lol.
Lol.
They were serving a one-game suspenion. Now they are not.
As an an Iowa fan, I don't care. But the shit they are saying is funny.
You realize i'm an Iowa fan, correct? Wirfs, Jackson, Reiff and Lattimore should also be playing if the NIU game got cancelled.
On the Ticket refund, I wasn't there nor care.
It's not, but that shouldn't matter when there's still the opportunity for the players to serve out their suspensions.
I am not surprised ISU Is spinning this in order to get the 3 players back on the field. But let's connect the dots.
* Everything in print states that these 3 players were to (and I quote) "serve a one-game suspension." It was just assumed that "one-game" would be against SDSU.
* However, there officially was no game yesterday; there are no official stats, nothing. Since there was no game yesterday, the "one-game suspension" has not been served.
* Another reason I argue that the 3 players haven't missed a game yet? ISU's record is 0-0, so how have they missed a game? If they missed a game, ISU's record would be 1-0 or 0-1.
* In order for the 3 players to "serve a one-game suspension," that would mean they would miss ISU's (0-0) FIRST official game of the season, which is at Iowa.
From the Ames Tribune:
Nevertheless, Pollard said ISU deems the suspensions of Tongamoa, Ruth and Good-Jones as served Saturday night.
“I’ve already talked to President Wintersteen and athletics faculty rep Tim Day,” Pollard said, “and we’re all in agreement that the suspensions were served tonight because it’s not the student-athlete’s fault that the game couldn’t be in because of weather.”
They did. And if the game gets rescheduled, then they should sit out that game.
That would be even more embarrassing.
"They will be suspended, if we can find a sure win for them to sit out."
I don't care either way, but if you're going to suspend them it has to be this game or you look pathetic.
Let's say you punished a child by 1) grounding them for a week and 2) not letting them play in the game they have on the weekend. (Since these college students are still just young men, I don't think the analogy is all that strained.)
They serve out the grounding, but the game is cancelled. Would you consider the punishment to have been completed? If so, we'll just have to agree to disagree.
To me, part of the punishment would be having their friends get to take part in the game when they didn't, and either having to deal with not getting to enjoy the victory with them or having to deal with their team losing and the feeling of having them down by not being there.
For competitors, that's the real punishment -- not missing some practices during the week.
Yes, yes I would. They did what they needed to be done in order to be eligible for the next week. Now if they get in trouble, yes they should be suspended for a more than 1 game.
I can argue either side of it. As someone pointed out, it's what Kirk did with Snyder; I could argue either side of that, too.
Side A: Suspension for a game means you aren't allowed to play in a game that you otherwise would play in; thus they should be suspended for another game.
Side B: They were punished in virtually all respects, including not starting -- all three were starters -- in the game. They were embarrassed publicly and before their teammates, they didn't take part in game activities. If they were suspended for the next game and got dinged during the week's practice and unable to play at Iowa, would they then be suspended for Oklahoma the next week?
if they had served their one game suspension, ISU's record would be 1-0 or 0-1 right now. It's not.
Per pollard I think they will be refunded if there isn’t a 12th game scheduled.
Let ISU do their ISU things. I couldn’t care less if they manage to conjure the 1972 Dolphins on to their roster next week, it makes no difference. I’ll be looking forward to the Hawks beating them like a drum and sending the ketchup and mustard clad clowns back to Lames still seeking their first win of the year.
Here’s a great idea, talk about it on your own board. Unless your thinking about making another incoherent thread about newspaper articles on Parker Hesse, I’d love to read more hot takes like that.
I apologize. I sometimes forget that simple English is incoherent to some on this board.

Doesn’t look like anyone knew what the hell you were talking about. Maybe there’s a reason for that?
Do you when know what’s being talked about? Guy was bagging on our starting DE. Based off your recent posts in not surprised your with him on this.
AWESOME DUDE, cool story,................................... Dumbass. Do I know what he was talking about? Yes, I can read, unlike you I assuming. He asked a question to ISUBryce about the ticket you dumb ****ing moron. STFUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

little brother was always told by big brother that he was a loser. little brother grew up and realized that he really is the loser big brother always said he was. now the weather all but guarantees the hawks will win 63-3. and little brother will be the loser big brother always said he was. count your blessing hawk fan we cyclones were given very few blessings.
Per pollard I think they will be refunded if there isn’t a 12th game scheduled.
I hadn't heard that. Can't imagine it's true. Where did you see this?
Okay moron, what am I missing from this conversation between these two? Keep trying donkey.
