ISU vs Memphis
- Thread starter QChawks
- Start date
Memphis receivers might be the biggest floppers in CFB. That last flop was hilarious....ISU defender was no where close
Their program is like a tragedy of Shakespearean proportions. It's like you guys haven't been watching Iowa State your whole lives.
That's ballgame.
Congrats to the Cyclones on a good season and happy ending to it.

Lots of progress in just year 2 of the Campbell era.
Congrats on winning your bowl as well!

Good for Lanning. Seems like a good kid
Great job by Clones. Maybe now all their fans can talk about that game as opposed to Iowa. They had more posts on the Iowa bowl game and how lucky we were than their upcoming game. Little brother always.
And you say this at the end of a 3 page thread here about....Iowa State's bowl game? The irony.
Its a rivalry, both schools watch the other closely in big games for the most part...that's no more true at ISU than at Iowa. Iowa has been the stronger program over the years...so no doubt ISU and its fans have a nice chip on their shoulder and went to outperform Iowa. Just as Iowa and most of its fans would like to see ISU knocked down a peg so they can quit worrying and watching over their shoulder. That's what rivalries are like.
Great ISU victory. Fun game to watch. Happy for Lazard, Lanning and their teammates. Looking forward to future encounters with the Clones. You can be certain JJ and the other Hawk seniors were happy with the ISU bowl win.
Montgomery was fumbling the ball from the moment he took the handoff. Never had control of it
Mesa - I don't recall multiple pages on this board before the game on ISU. Look at your own board. Jesus. You guys are obsessed. Not a rivalry. An obsession. More posts on Iowa football recruiting at CF than ISU football and basketball recruiting combined. It is sad. So stop.
As I said, we're the underdog rising from the ashes...so yes, many fans are focused on catching up to and surpassing our in state rival. And its a rivalry, whether you want to pretend otherwise or not...I don't see a 3 page thread here about Minnesota's bowl game....or Northwesterns....but there sure as $hit is one about ISU's bowl. And there's no shortage of Iowa fans who focus all their hate on ISU...you can see it on any of the main boards if you look. And all that is fine, that's how rivalries are supposed to be.
For my part, I root hard for Iowa whenever they're not playing ISU...always have and always will. Heck, I'm an alumni of U of I...so you'll find no hate here...so I'm able to be a bit more impartial in assessing how the two fan bases behave.
Here' s the real truth about both fan bases...they're the same. One group are fans of a team that has had a strong program for years...the other are fans of a program that has struggled mightily during that time. Switch the roles, and the fans in both cases react precisely the same way as their counterparts do.
Wrong, CF is the most delusional bunch of homers ever. Cytwins & 1976 both desperately need an ass kicking.
Well said Mesa. Don't judge just by on site CF. Good season for both teams and I am excited about the future for Iowa State.

Its hard to see with blinders on...there are people on Iowa sites who need the same ass kicking. Some on EVERY site. As for delusion, that's never in short supply on the Iowa sites either...in the same proportion as you'll find it on ISU sites.
I'm not going to defend idiots...there are plenty of them and it would become a full time job for me. I'm just saying, if you think Iowa doesn't match up one for one...that's the fan in you talking. My own brother and many of my friends are diehard Hawkeyes...and its never been anything but a goodnatured rivalry. We joke and give each other a hard time...get mad when our team loses...but that's it. Its a game, not life. Anyone who "hates" the other side is a moron...and people who obsess about either team need to get out more. Its SUPPOSED to be fun.
Montgomery clearly regained possession of the ball after the initial juggling. It was hard to get the best angle for replay but he was probably 1-2 feet into the endzone before the fumble. They could have matched the angles to overrule. It was a horrible call.
In the heat of the moment (with my Cardinal + Gold goggles on) I sat in disbelief over both "the fumble" and the "pass interference" calls. A couple of hours later, I still can't comprehend how either (let alone both) calls went the way they did.
Any fan of any team would cry foul if it were their team on the wrong end of it.
I dont want to be the type to claim a conspiracy exists against Iowa State, but it is hard to comprehend why officials call what they do sometimes. The three penalties that were overturned vs K State still puzzzle me. Its a hard job, but replay should eliminate some of the difficulty.
I"m happy ISU was still able to win. Great win. Great season. Looking forward to next year.

That "high power" b12 offense looked great vs a mediocre Memphis team lol.
Anyone who thought memphis was a top 25 team is flat out nuts!

What about the weak roughing the passer call on the interception that then led to a TD.
Congratulations to lil brother on your historic 8-5 season culminating in an epic victory over that blue blood program Memphis. Probably the greatest season in the history of your legendary program.
Wrong, he regained it long enough for the td. And yeah the announcers were bad and said some crazy crap
True that. But it wasn't called a TD and needed indisputable evidence. Apparently not enough to overturn. The Announcers DUMB and DUMBER sounded great with the volume turned down.
How did the replay specifically show he gained full control? He may have, but I don't believe any angle of that replay showed 100% that he gained full control. In fact if he did, I do not believe he would have ended up fumbling it. Montgomery doesn't fumble if he has full control imo. Doesn't matter. What does matter is ISU overcame and won. That's what good teams do!
Agreed MepoDawg. ISU was very fortunate on that one. Again, officials have a difficult job. Roughing the passer is often a judgment call. Even my biased viewpoint tbought that was a clean play. Big play/call in the game.
Ya good point champ, I had Memphis "1 up" in the controversial calls.
Good to see karma even things out with the pre-game bush league press conference and their wide receivers "flopping" on several occassions. lol
I agree. A lot of people need to grow the (bleep) up.
I don't care about the rivalry. As much losing as Iowa State has endured these past few years, as a human being you have to be happy for the Iowa State seniors who get to end their football careers on a positive note.
