I happened to read a CBS Sports article, and included in it was a comment that Simpson University had lost to Montana State 97-0. Apparently their first year in big time football. I thought to myself, “this couldn’t be Simpson College they’re talking about, right?”

Turns out there is a Simpson University in California. It was 43-0 after the first quarter and the yardage total for the game was something like 663-30. Maybe Jamie could schedule them down the road so we could look more dominant in our first game…

Getting worse and worse by the week. Personnel and play calls.

I’ll never understand how we don’t give Carson Hansen the ball basically every time we’re in the red zone, let alone inside the ten.

Bad, bad, bad.

Both of them will be snoozers. Both opponents only won one game last year. The men's opponent, Mississippi Valley State, was 1-30, while Chicago State was 1-27.

1. The injuries have narrowed the margin of error considerably. How ISU has tried to play given the available personnel now has hours of tape. It's up to the staff to continue to add wrinkles. With a smaller margin of error, execution becomes even more important. Have to believe nicked up running backs and no Ben Brahmer have made a significant impact on preventing teams from stunting nonstop. The other tight ends playing are not viable receiving threats.
2. Obviously the story on the defense is the linebacking corp....well, that and the predictable opening drive touchdown. This side of the ball has been surprisingly effective in view of the personnel, but like the offense, hours of tape reveal how to attack it.
3. The staff knows what needs to be fixed and the best ways to address the problems. Do they have the available personnel to consistently do the job? Jury is still out.
4. I don't pay attention to rankings, until the last few weeks of the CFP rankings. The '99-'00 basketball season taught me the only thing that matters is the next game. That's it. Everything else sorts itself out.
5. Coaches & players make mistakes...Cyclones & opponents, but they still know infinitely more than I do from the stands or my recliner.

Since CeMar Clone posted his question for those voting Democrat, I’ll post one for those voting for Trump: Why are you embracing fascism?

Donald Trump is “definitionally a fascist” isn’t heated rhetoric from the Harris campaign; it is the on-the-record, audio-recorded assessment of General John Kelly, Trump’s longest serving chief of staff and a man whose integrity is unimpeachable.

He has to figure out how to start a game. Teams are running threw us like tissue paper.

In short, there were none. Nobody picked the Red Raiders to win.

Keep trying this week: here's the link to the ISU/KU game prediction thread.

I thought we would squeek by TT and then screw up against KU.

Will this totally preventable loss motivate the team and coaches??

Or have we overachieved in the 7 - 0 start?

Why are tights ends (or tackles for that matter) even moving on that play? It should be the center and guards and QB. Even in high school we told no one else to move. We even did a “silent sneak” where the QB would just go up and say nothing and nudge the center and only those two would move forward. Worked every single time.

The tackle jumping almost cost us against UCF too. I don’t get it. Win in the margins I guess.

… I’m not a Dallas Cowboys fan

a legit CFP first round bye team doesn’t f*** around with UCF & TTech.

In an honest look in the mirror we shouldn’t be rated higher.

Before you get burned. Sloppy sloppy.

…Luke Fickell has taken over the program. He had some very good teams at Cincy.

Their last weeks paycheck to charity. They were severely out coached by Texas Tech staff
