What a ridiculous poll question
We fucking suck. We might as well board up Jack Trice and close down the shop. A pathetic performance.
Missed tackles, horribly thrown balls. Defenseive and Offensive lines, ridiculous penalties, horrible coaching, horrible play calling.
Oh well, at least we have NFL football to watch. See you next year ISU. Pathetic.

With how the game went, I agree. Considering I wrote the post last night and scheduled to have it appear at 230, I had no idea what would happen.
Via mobile, I cannot edit the post; I am going out of town to a wedding.
I apologize with some of the comments being irrelevant, and tried to make clear in my previous post that I would be gone.
I am just as frustrated as anyone else

Game
Reminiscent of some of the Walden teams we watched in years past. I hate onside kicks early in a game. Looks like we were desperate and needn’t be. That kick and personal foul by Banks just seemed to swing momentum and confidence fully the Hawks way. Hats off to them. They were prepared and showed much more poise and confidence.

OH NOES
/sarcasm
in all honesty though, the ground game looked good today ( i dont know if i remember the last time that an isu team put up nearly 200 yards on the ground) as well as our run defense early in the game. however without anything that remotely resembled a passing attack there was no way that we would have been able to move the ball into the endzone if we had ever gotten close to even smelling it. i think that the team should be able to bounce back from this humiliation eventually. we will find out how they travel next weekend at kent state.

Looks like I picked a good weekend to ignore a 'Clone game

Who is to blame?
If you take away Arnaud’s INTs and his performance, would the outcome have been different or at least close?
Was it the defense who didn’t seem like they could tackle and allowed an extra 5-6 yards at the end of every run?
It’s looking like another long season.

Ugh
Arnaud would have had a great game if our receivers were 10 feet tall. Unfortunately they’re not.
Some positives:
-we were able to run the ball well
-I won a sweatshirt at the gamewatch in KC

What a way to start ....
The play calling was ridiculous. We would get into a rhythm with the running game and be moving the ball down the field and then we would throw the ball into double coverage. Since the passing game wasn’t working and the running game was why not ram the ball down their throats. The hurry up offense is a joke. Having the QB standing there looking at the sidelines trying to pickup the signal looked like it confused our team more than it did Iowa’s defense. At times it looked like there wasn’t any gameplan and that we were just winging it. I think that Rhoades and his staff have as much work to do as the players.
Darks and Reynolds might be all world in their press clippings but neither showed me anything during the game. Both drop balls that were in their hands. At least Houston came back for several balls and even he dropped a couple of easy passes. Arnaud had a bad day in the air but with no reliable reciever on your side you can’t throw the ball.
If there was an upside it was the play of Sims both on defense and in the return game.
I am hoping that the staff get their collective heads out of their asses or else this is going to be an ugly ugly season in the Big 12.
