Iowa State has now lost 31 of its last 39 games. An 8-31 record works out to a .205 winning percentage. Since beating Kansas, 51-23, on 11/17/12 to clinch its last bowl bid, ISU has lost roughly four out of every five times it has taken the field. If the Cyclones lose in Iowa City on Saturday, it will be exactly 4-of-5, a .200 win percentage.
I post this to encourage you to give yourself a break for how you are feeling about Cyclone football - whatever that might be. You're entitled to that.
Campbell said Saturday night that at some point, a line has to be drawn to stop disappointing the Iowa State fans. Collectively, you all don't ask for anything more than a .500 record and a minor bowl bid. You're willing to grade pass/fail. It should not be that hard to not disappoint you.
