From the Glass Half Full camp: ISU has more conference wins in the last 12 months than SUI 1 vs. 0. Who says ISU isn't the better program?
=
Actually,
the Tech final was about what I expected, even in August. The match up
just isn't there yet. The more I think about it,ISU should adopt a similar offensive plan. It seems to work for Tech regardless of who they throw out there.
=
The Tech fans apparently booed their team when ISU scored in the fourth. What, a 25 point win is beneath you folks? Or are you Nebraska
fan and unhappy with anything less than 70 on the board? Win a game
that matters and then you can get picky about the style of a win.
=
ISU was clearly looking past Tech, anxious for the Horns to come to Ames. They already beat one wealthy, privileged, arrogant and endlessly hyped program; why not another?

John
Walters has inherited one trait from the late, great Pete Taylor: you
can turn on the radio and in an instant tell how the Cyclones are
doing. Tuning in to the start of the third, you knew it wasn't good.
Thanks for not being a shill, John. People respect that.

There are rumors that the Homecoming game against OU
will be an 8:15 start for TV. The programmers at VS are clearly hoping
for another improbable upset like they got with Stanford atUSC. I wish I could share their optimism. Perhaps the match up will be better in 2011 when OU returns to Ames. The one thing I am optimistic of for an 8:15 kick: One very lubed crowd. The first 5 minutes will be rocking! Then OU will score and we can all sober up, figuratively and emotionally.
=
ISU clearly needs to take a page from SUI on who to schedule for Homecoming.

Since ABC forced me to watch the SUI-PSU debacle instead of OU-UT, some thoughts on that game:
We all thought Chizik had a brilliant game plan for SUI. Turns out it started and ended with having 11 defensive players on the field.
I now understand
why Meyer looked so smooth and in control against SUI.
control against SUI.
KF is now 1-39 when behind at the start of
the fourth. Watching an SUI game is like watching an America's Cup boat
race: the first boat to the turn wins- you can turn you TV off for the
next 4 hours. Even ISU has had a come from behind win in that span- against SUI last month. Odd coincidence, no?
=
SUI has the look of a team that left it all on the field in Ames. They haven't been the same since, have they? Have they? The folks in IC clearly need to deemphasize that game. When they lose to ISU they often tank the rest of the year.
=
It was funny hearing John Miller on the radio correcting callers that KF's base salary is $1.4 Million, and the rest is incentive based. I'm sure that made everyone feel better.
=
SUI is killing ISU's power ranking. If your team is going to only win one game, it should at least be a great win. No such luck this year.
=
I assume Dan Mac has a net worth that is a multiple of the rest of the staff at USF. Perhaps DM
is worth more than the rest of the staff combined. That's a nice
position to be in- you work because you like it, not to pay the
mortgage. Good for Dan. I'm going to insist that his presence is
putting USF over the top. I need something to cling to the rest of the season.
=
Memo to the North: In Peterclone's universe, each school is allowed to be good in either football or hoops, not both. KU and Mizzou, you chose hoops decades ago. Nebraska and lately KSU, you like the football. Now act appropriately.
=
At the end of the day, I think ISU has better odds being good at hoops than the pigskin. It is that thought that gets me through fall.
=
The worst sin of USC's loss to Stanford? They lost to really smart guys. Ouch.
=
I haven't read if UT has ever started 0-3 in league before. I'm all for seeing history Saturday.
=
The Domers finally won. All dreams eventually die.
=
I think that's enough for now. Please, no flaming piles of dog doo on my porch. I just painted.
