Tech @ ISU

[Al_4_ISU 12464]

11AM Central.  ESPN2.  Jack Trice Stadium.  ISU -3.5

Clones cover, barely.  Tech is improved, especially defensively, but the only defense they’ve played on our level held them to 17 points.  Our mutual opponents reveal a bit of a toss up as we’re both 2-1 against the WVU/OSU/TCU trio.  If we can contain Will Grier, we can contain Alan Bowman.  Especially in Ames.

31-24 good guys.

[pch 1259]

Endorsed. 

 

[El Diablo 4232]

I think the Raiders win one on the road today, 'Clones get Kingsburied.

[taybo20 2834]

Interesting game to be sure

[Whitman 694]

Please give my thanks to everyone at Cafe Beaudelaire for the great food and atmosphere , and please give my apologies to the staff at the Radisson Ames for what I did to the bathroom in my suite.  We enjoyed everything about Ames except for that 3 hour block that evening.

[Dark Horse 2284]

Definitely be watching this one at 11.

Glad to hear it.  Loved my trip to Morgantown, so it makes me happy to see Ames return the favor

Most of the Big 12 media agrees with you.  I love it when people bet against Campbell.

I"m not in the media but you'd think they and I would learn our lesson when it comes to doubting the 'Clones. I just like what I've seen from Tech this year. When they put it together they're a damn good team.

[Butch Had Not 2971]

Does the fact that Campbell is likely target for tOSU scare you to death in the event that urbs has a heart attack again?

[po elvis 2072]

Iowa state wins this easily.

When's the last time Tech did anything but bend over on special teams? Special teams, defense? wut?

Maybe Day gets tOSU job if Liar is out?

Anybody know where Texas Defense is ranked in B12....... Announcer just said ISU has #1 B12 Defense??

[Lat22 4014]

Was he in the end zone?

[GreenspointTexas 9604]

I really like Ahmad Brooks in the booth

Which metric? I'm pretty sure we are #1 in points allowed and pretty much on the top in rush defense.

No.  He’s going to coach there someday.  It is what it is.

That’s the second straight game we’ve surrendered a special teams score.

No idea what metric ESPN is using..... that's part of my question on B12 Best Defense Rankings.....

Is that chili any good?

I’ve had worse.

But I recommend being about 4-5 beers deep before ordering.

We are top 3 or so as a whole. Iowa State definitely looks like the best.

We hit the punter all the time...lolz.

That play was unbelievably well executed by the defender.

So, with the bad chili how many beers required?

[Tired of Lurking 637]

Purdy footwork there. This kid is gonna be good. Zeb Noland ain't bad either. When's the last time ISU had two scary quarterbacks?

[clapclapclap 9000]

Quote

He got a real Purdy mouth, ain't he?

Disconcerting

[Al_4_ISU 12464]

Our kicker is mind fucked 

[HtownHorn 14690]

They might want to review that FG. It looked good.

[Bullneck 19107]

No luxury boxes at Jack Trice?  Very egalitarian.

There are.  Between the upper and lower decks on west side.  They just aren’t attached to the press box

I think Urbs is going the migraine direction this time.  

[taybo20 2834]

Punt struggles

[Tired of Lurking 637]

Jeez that was worse than a high school punt.

[HuskiesHorns 28]

we are going to beat both these teams

[HtownHorn 14690]

ISU shitting the bed on STs so far.

[Welshy 907]

Clearly a first down. Play the fucking game.

[Uncle Nate 2097]

Fuckng booth review. It's ruining college football.  That spot was fine. 

[Pam Cummings 9644]

Are you kidding me reviewing that? The way Tech was rolling? Fuck that.
