Charlie Brown

There is no other way to describe ISU football other than as the Charlie Brown of the Big XII.

Given their performance with titles on the line (MU '04, at KU '05) and in OT (see previous, plus NU and MU '05) Cyclone fans have no choice but to know, deep down in their hearts, that when ISU has the chance to achieve greatness, they will find the way to lose in the most agonizing of fashions.

They never got blown out in '05, which is a vast improvement over the past, but they gave each of their 4 losses away, and to arguably inferior teams.

Their Bowl prize? A genuinely good TCU team that could easily kick their butt if helmets aren't screwed on correctly.

We will give a more detailed analysis in the coming weeks, but we can only assume that somehow, some way, Lucy will pull the football away.
