ISU at Baylor

[Al_4_ISU 12409]

ISU might survive, but Al's liver likely won't.
 
And, yes, fuck Baylor.

Baylor’s got this, barring a turnover.

Proud of our comeback, but it was more luck than skill. This team will still be lucky to bowl.

I’m in the field, so I’m stone sober right now

[spystud13 2371]

Welp, here we go. 

[Nicole44 22027]

Iowa State! Let’s go damnit!

[spystud13 2371]

Drilled it after a low snap. 

[Al_4_ISU 12409]

Of course. Jesus, this is just classic us.

[Valmy77 13094]

21 seconds and two timeouts...do God's work Cyclones.

[AustinHorn 57]

Condolences, Al 

[Lat22 3994]

Not over yet Mr. announcer.

[texasstrong12 4668]

This was a fairly awful game both ways. Iowa State really had no business even being in this game. 

[C-Man 27050]

Lock up your women, Waco

[WhatTheBuck 28708]

Lulz.

I’m betting that this has been addressed earlier but is Rhule wearing like an adult bib/hoodie thingie?

also, its amazing watching a Baylor game with Brewer as their QB and the announcers arent telling us every 3 mins that he really wanted to go to Texas but wasnt offered

You will hear this incessantly during the game with us after Brewer makes a big play

[spystud13 2371]

Drive home safely.

Yes he is. In 94 degree heat. 

[Laxtonto 11929]

And with a whimper ISU last second hopes die

[Funk Doctor Spock 11923]

What a shit way to lose a game 

[Horn80 6075]

Bitter loss for ISU

[Longhorn Fever 267]

Condolences, Al.

[AUS-97HORN 11673]

also no fucking idea what the color guy was talking about saying with only 8 seconds and a timeout that Baylor had to go for the hail mary.

they literally just got 20 yards the play before that took 5 seconds.  They were at their 45.     another 6 second  20 yard play in the middle puts the ball at the 35,  with a 52 yard FG being a complete option with 2 seconds left. 

[HornsOverIthaca 2333]

Matt Rhule looks like they sampled both DNA and wardrobe from every trash talking little league father in the US and created some kind of composite creature.

[mdleast 8261]

Well, take away from it that at least Iowa St was scrappy and kept fighting till the end? Honestly didn’t expect them to be that in it based on the first three quarters.

The take away is that Iowa State sucks.

[Farkimedes 23]

No idea what to think of Baylor. They outplayed ISU pretty dramatically for 50 minutes of that game, and still needed a last second FG to win by 2. Is Baylor a top 20 team? Or are they a "receiving votes" type team and ISU is gonna struggle to make a bowl game?  

I'm leaning towards the latter. ISU was only in that game due to throwing jump balls to another 6'7'' guy.

7-5 (4-5)team that is scrappy? My guess before the season and same now.

Keep twisting the knife, lol.


I sweater god our opponents’ all time last-30-seconds-of-regulation-and-OT FG % is 100%. No one has ever missed a kick to beat us that I can recall.

Wtf is Baylor doing 4-0?

It's the latter until the results come in next week against K-State on the road and they should be very much in that game.  It will be legit if they get past Okie Lite three weeks later.

I'm sorry

[Al_4_ISU 12409]

We’re still in the exact same boat as every Campbell team at ISU this far, but no one realizes that. I suspect this team legit sucks and won’t win 8 games, but we were 1-3 at this point last year, 2-2 in ‘17, and our losses were less competitive.

Buuuuuut we had Montgomery and Butler.

Rice, UTSA, and SFA. 

[SimonBolivar 10914]

I dunno about Baylor struggling to make a bowl. They still have WVU and Tech at home and KU on the road. Only need two more with that nonconference

It's a typical loss for ISU...what a fucking clown show.  No points in the first half and an absurd failed comeback in the fourth quarter.  Here's to eeking out a bowl berth if we're damn lucky.  Fucking fuck.

[Chet Steadman 940]

Those were two solid defenses the first half.  The 3-man front is a legit defense in this league) until it’s not in the next season or two).  
 

Brewer is a really solid college QB.  Lacks a lot of skill but fun as shit to watch.

Just bad football the entire first half....

Baylor will get to eight wins. They're pretty clearly better than the three you mention and can probably beat one of KSU or TCU.

Great way to let the old stadium go before the renovation:

“I’m also thinking of converting the seats to white upholstered chairs to add nice clean feel and contrast with the rustic barn doors. We also have plans to install clawfoot urinals in the men’s rooms, suspended shelving roughly 8 feet off the ground in the concession areas, and a large marble-top island in the middle of the field where players and coaches will be able to gather and entertain during the game.”

Yes to that, I watched the game and he clearly has an issue with his temper. I thought he was going to go full Woodie Hays with a couple of his players. That game made me think last year was a fluke foot ISU.

[deter 313]

Concur.

[Al_4_ISU 12409]

It's wild to watch the narrative on this guy just flip almost instantly.

I wondered about his temper after the 2017 game against you guys.  He absolutely flipped out on Jacob Park on the sideline, and it gave me pause.  That game, however, proved to be a catalyst to the best 24 months of ISU football in my lifetime.  Water under the bridge.

What we've done so far this year is no different than the previous couple years.  We actually have a better record than we did a year ago.  But that's all pretty much out the window.  I think he's fine, but I also remember being completely thrilled with Paul Rhoads 1/3rd of the way through his 4th season.

Campbell needs to beat tcu in a bad way.  Really is disappointing to see his offense struggling so much.  With the experience of their OL they should be able to run the ball much better.

This Saturday vs tcu is a huge game for Campbell and the Cyclones trajectory for the remainder of their 2019 season.

I don't disagree.  It's the first of 3 very winnable games, and it's at home.  Get this one, and we probably roll over WVU and Tech to sit at 5-2 with the Pokes coming to Ames for a big one.

If we lose, well, we are Iowa State.

I watched this game from McLane stadium. Tell Brock Purdy to look someplace other than the 5 yards in the middle of the field.

Baylor's defense is credible for once, but they let the RB leak out to the side uncovered EVERY PLAY. However, the QB stubbornly refused to do anything besides attack his TE or slot in the middle over and over again. As a result, he either got 15 yard completions or, usually, found his team in 3rd and long.

These two teams were, unsurprisingly, evenly matched. Neither can generate a pass rush without committing extra defenders. Neither can defend a pass if the pressure doesn't disrupt the QB in under 3 seconds. ISU was surprisingly less physical than I was expecting. They seemed to be thinking rather than playing.
