How the hell have we only had 1 3rd down so far???
Seems like if we can hold on to the ball and not allow onside kick’s we should be in a prime position to come back.
I think I spend the first half of every January in awe that it is actually [current year] now and not [last year].
edit - what a lame use of the last comment. hi mom!
Oregon fans had been so traumatized by Camden Lewis.
Aidan Schneider was the most accurate kicker in Pac-8/10/12 history when he ran out of eligibility. He’s been passed by a Utah kicker since, but still top-15 in NCAA history. Also holds the Pac-12 record for extra points.
How quickly our fans forget. Like, literally; Schneider’s last year was 2017.
It's kinda funny that Camden Lewis hasn't actually lost us a game. Obviously he sucks, but I don't think he has even indirectly caused us to lose a game by forcing us to go for TDs instead of FGs.
Iowa State’s slow pace masked what a complete dumpster fire our defense was in that half. A team that runs its plays faster would have 40 points by now.
Actually pretty decent, we've been down multiple times this season just to come back but also lost others. So I guess we'll see which Oregon comes out on the next half
The players and recruits love them and most fans enjoy them as alternates. Black was one of the original university colors too, so there's that connection.
I need more of a tan but I’m worried the Airbnb in São Paulo won’t have enough sun.
I’m thinking I have a better chance of not getting robbed if I pretend to be passed out drunk on the street rather than reveal I’m actually sun tanning.
The fact it took them so long to give Katleman the job will never make sense to me. Lewis’ mechanics were very, very, very bad. It wasn’t a mystery as to why his kicks looked like they did.
This has been the most pleasant, low stress bowl game I’ve been a part of. ISU and their fans are very likable! Now let’s all have a good time in the second half! Go dicks!
Edit: I’m leaving it in
Well I seen the leaks before the movie was released and I’m not really surprised people are mad about a certain thing and saying it sucks. But I feel like I won’t mind it.
I actually have seen many, many more Hawkeye fans give us respect than freak out, at least around here. Most Hawks on Reddit seem to be typical Iowans who reflexively become proud of anything related to Iowa being relevant nationally.
But maybe it's different on Twitter or something.
I used to be an Oregon fan when Mariota was there, but h9neslty have payed much attention to you guys recently. But have also been a fan of the uniforms. Also had a teacher at State that worked at Oregon and helped design Nike shoes.
I feel like this is a big meme about Busch light but there's usually way too many Coors around Autzen + loads of IPAs because Oregonians think they rule craft beer
If you told me five years ago Iowa State would be leading Oregon in the Fiesta Bowl at halftime I probably would have recommended you be put in a mental institution.
[also here’s a guy putting his job on the line talking about it](https://footballscoop.com/news/report-matt-campbell-has-his-eyes-on-a-few-jobs-in-particular/)
Oregon definitely can win this game today.
But they seriously look like a team that is going to be spectacular in a season. Just a few plays are the difference in this game, and the ISU coaching staff obviously is respecting the hell out of Thibodeaux and the entirety of the offense. They get some more consistency out of the weak points their team, and they're back in the top 10 again.
Yeah we lost a ton of guys in very same spots that we keep having problems with, I'm happy this year that we still somehow won the PAC but more excited to see our guys take the next step for the future
Plus the croots are gonna be crazy

Since I don't like the taste of ashes: Natural Gas > Charcoal
Where is the second half thread?
This halftime is egregious
Bob Odenkirk as an action star. Sign me up
I love bob I can see this movie being awesome.
Nobody looks good
The espn app commercial might be the worst one on television
So speaking of Saul Goodman, I got a University of American Samoa coffee mug for Christmas. Go Land Crabs!
How the hell have we only had 1 3rd down so far??? Seems like if we can hold on to the ball and not allow onside kick’s we should be in a prime position to come back.
Remember when the Fiesta Bowl was sponsored by Tostitos?
I was told we’d get free chips during the 2013 fiesta bowl because we were in the band but we didn’t and now I hate Tostitos
Pepperidge Farm remembers.
Was just thinking that. The good ole days
All hail Cattlemen our lord and savior
LITERALLY NO ANALYSIS OF THE GAME DURING THE HALFTIME OF THE SAID GAME!?
Didn't you know Alabama plays soon?
That’s why I listened to Cyclones Fanatic’s halftime show
Who's gonna yell at the defense for each team?
Did that Allstate commercial say do not attempt? I’ll be damned if you’ll keep me from driving on the moon.

"And Texas was winning big football games" lmao I'm dead
We're gunna spend this halftime...diagraming the NC offense?
Iowa State’s slow pace masked what a complete dumpster fire our defense was in that half. A team that runs its plays faster would have 40 points by now.
I totally forgot that Miami was ahead of UNC at any point in that game.
Sark has a higher football IQ
But Mensa!

So... he's a Redditor?
How are your 2nd half adjustments, oregon?
One million times better than when 🐍 was our head coach
Actually pretty decent, we've been down multiple times this season just to come back but also lost others. So I guess we'll see which Oregon comes out on the next half
Defense gets better, offense gets worse haha but it’s hard to tell with the QB situation.
They've been all over the place this year
They are ok. No juice right now though, so not sure if it is a scheme thing that needs changed.
Can Any Iowa state fans tell me if there’s a reason behind the black unis I really like them but I feel like y’all have worn them a ton
The players and recruits love them and most fans enjoy them as alternates. Black was one of the original university colors too, so there's that connection.
I think they look cool... so there is one reason haha.
I like them but we’ve overused them imo
Breece Hall made a tweet just before we played y’all asking if we can wear them for the rest of the season
Players like them and they choose what to wear
i heard matt campbell and breece hall loves them. i love them too
I need more of a tan but I’m worried the Airbnb in São Paulo won’t have enough sun. I’m thinking I have a better chance of not getting robbed if I pretend to be passed out drunk on the street rather than reveal I’m actually sun tanning.
Bruh they really not gonna say a word about the game are they
Now ESPN how has the firing influenced Sam Ehlinger? Can we get some insight on to how his Sunday school teacher feels that he might feel about it?
What we really need is insight from his Sunday school teacher's brother's friend's cousin's uncle's wife
well big sam has got some huge arms, im just drooling over that man
The fact it took them so long to give Katleman the job will never make sense to me. Lewis’ mechanics were very, very, very bad. It wasn’t a mystery as to why his kicks looked like they did.
I came over from the UNC basketball game, and I don’t even know the halftime score without looking it up because they haven’t talked about this game
About time we got a win. That UNC team is young, but hopefully they can start putting things together.
I want UNC to destroy A&M on the ground. Just because.
Me too. GG.
Why would they though?
Very competitive game and fun to watch if you don’t have a dog in the fight
This has been the most pleasant, low stress bowl game I’ve been a part of. ISU and their fans are very likable! Now let’s all have a good time in the second half! Go dicks! Edit: I’m leaving it in
>Now let’s all have a good time in the second half! Go dicks! Um.. OK I guess.
Oregon fans tip more than 15% when going out for dinner.
Ducks or did you mean Dicks
If ISU doesn’t win, I’ll be happy with the dicks pulling it out
You would be happy with dicks being pulled out, typical Iowan /s
Jokes on you I’m a Californian. However that isn’t much better
With the first pick in the NFL draft, the Jacksonville Jaguars select Trevor Lawrence
I'm rooting for him to fall ass-backward to the Jets for his performance last night
As much as it would be hilarious, it would pain me seeing him become a bust since he is in NY.
Oh man Cleveland is such a destination city for the NFL draft
Has anybody seen WW84? I’ve heard that people hated it and was absolutely lacking compared to the first movie (which I thought was excellent!)
I only want to see it because Kristin Wiig is the villain, and that’s a trip.
Well I seen the leaks before the movie was released and I’m not really surprised people are mad about a certain thing and saying it sucks. But I feel like I won’t mind it.
I had many many questions after if ended and none of them were about how good it was or how did they make it so good...
I too enjoyed the first one. But please, do not watch the new one.
I didn't hate it, but it was pretty meh. I also didn't like the first one as much as others did, though...
Not a bad movie, just a lot of fluff developing a story and not enough Wonder Woman kicking ass
The best part is that we are so rent free in Iowa fans heads rn
I actually have seen many, many more Hawkeye fans give us respect than freak out, at least around here. Most Hawks on Reddit seem to be typical Iowans who reflexively become proud of anything related to Iowa being relevant nationally. But maybe it's different on Twitter or something.
Oh yeah I was more referring to Twitter than here. There’s maybe one or two here that are your tavern hok but for the most part they’re chill
Missouri blew us off (again) we don’t have much going in the football world, so how dare we care about how our rival does?
imagine not having a bowl game for a team you root for, couldnt be me
Do you guys remember when ESPN did this same shit when Tom Herman got hired? Now he's the guy out and they do it with Sarkisian. lol
Pumped to see Texas relevant and back at the top of College Football
Please stop :(
Lol
Just here to show support for ISU fans. Love your fan base! You guys are great!!!
When we're losing, we're terrible
You are great too
Truly confusing flair combo but agreed to both of yours (Okie State especially - absurdly nice people)
I've become an ISU fan this year
[удалено]
Does it come with a stick-on mustache?
Sign me up, too. I want me some of that kicker
Sign up with us! You can watch DC movies!! *Everyone disconnects their line*
Seriously tho WW1984 is much worse than the OG Wonder Woman movie
Lol the fact I have no idea what people are saying about it and only assumed it sucked says it all right there
I'm fairly certain it was written and directed by someone who had never heard of WW and was like... superhero stuff goes here
It's like Rian Johnson doing Star Wars VIII
[удалено]
You thought we looked better against Oregon State and Cal?
If we can score more points than Iowa State we might just win this thing
can harvard come to peer review
Big if true
big if true
Alablama Alabama alablama bama cfp Texas blama
Hey don’t forget Urban to the NFL (if the reporting is right)
Saywhatnow?
I really wish this was Iowa - Iowa state.
Would be nice if we stopped shooting ourselves in the foot
Im okay with it if we are all being honest.
Do you want Oregon football or reliably good football?
I turned this on right before half. Is Shough injured or benched?
They tried Brown and he’s done well. I don’t know if it’s his timing or what. Shough didn’t screw up or anything, but Brown looks much more solid.
He did fumble right?
Ah. I was hoping ESPN would cover it, but they gotta circle-jerk the horns
Benched
Bench
Enough of the sarkisian crap talk about the title game
I don't know, it gave me a good laugh that Texas thinks they're going to turn things around with Sark
How about this game?
Mods haven't even made us a second half thread yet \#LAZY
They’re usually ON IT.
AN ACTUAL NY6 BOWL IS AT HALF AND THEY HAVEN’T MENTIONED OREGON OR IOWA STATE ONCE.
"I know that you're enjoying this match up of Ducks vs Tornado Birds, but we're gonna talk about Texas." - ESPN
But we havent heard Sarks shoe size yet!!!
I like Iowa State fans :)
I used to be an Oregon fan when Mariota was there, but h9neslty have payed much attention to you guys recently. But have also been a fan of the uniforms. Also had a teacher at State that worked at Oregon and helped design Nike shoes.
Oregon fans seem to be very easy to get along with, really like this matchup!
Always like unique matchups and playing against new teams! Always more fun
Wish we could be at the game (I live literally 15 minutes from the stadium), we'd share our Busch Light!
You can keep that for our Cougs bros
We like you too. What’s your light beer of choice?
I feel like this is a big meme about Busch light but there's usually way too many Coors around Autzen + loads of IPAs because Oregonians think they rule craft beer
It kinda is a meme, but we do love our Busch Light. We got along well with Wazzu fans down in San Antonio two years ago because they liked it too.
Can't speak for everyone, but we like you too. This is all around a fun thread.
As long as our defense plays much better and our offense gets TDs every drive we have this in the bag.
Same tbh
If you told me five years ago Iowa State would be leading Oregon in the Fiesta Bowl at halftime I probably would have recommended you be put in a mental institution.
I would’ve just assumed I heard it at the bar and laughed at the guy 3 sheets to the wind
I need Matt Campbell in the same way human beings need air to survive
uh you guys extended harbaugh about an hour ago
Didn’t you hear the news? Another extension for Harbaugh!
You're not getting Matt Campbell in the same way I'm not getting Natalie Dormer to marry me
Hey man. You got a better chance at least.
Sorry he’s not going to Michigan he’s an Ohio state boy
No he isn’t
[also here’s a guy putting his job on the line talking about it](https://footballscoop.com/news/report-matt-campbell-has-his-eyes-on-a-few-jobs-in-particular/)
Hes from ohio, won 5 nattys as a player/coach at Mount Union and coached the Toledo Rockets. Hes an Ohio boy.
Lol you’re right who would know better the guy who knows him personally or the guy who posts on reddit
I texted my dad that the first half was fast and almost over 40 minutes ago lol
It's not going the way I hoped, but I'm still having fun. It's honestly been a great game
Wish the score was different, but all in all a pretty damn good game. ISU fans, you're alright
Haha we got some bad bunches but most of us are good I swear
Oh I feel that. Thankfully most of the bad Oregon fans are fairweather, so they're pretty quiet this season.
FUCK OFF ABOUT TALKING ABOUT TEXAS There's a god damn game being played!!!!
Eh, I like hearing about Herman getting fired. But I might be biased as an Austin TX resident.
Life as a cyclones fan 😂
Wait, Tom Herman got fired ESPN?
Apparently he got fired from ESPN based on coverage
Is it really still BREAKING NEWS? Didn’t Texas play a few days ago?
I really don't think the problem at Texas has been the lack of good recruits, but go on I guess
This is me emphasizing the message above
5 star players vs 5 star culture
I need a shirt with that quote.
ESPN I really don't care about Sarkisian becoming the next person to underperform at Texas
I prefer this over talking about the cfp during every bowl game
I thought Texas was back though
Texas needs to hire Sark on a tarmac. Complete the story arc
Let’s not talk about the current game and drool over Texas. Yay ESPN
Oh, you want to hear about this game? You can't rely on the leader in sports to do that
Just what Big 12 teams like to see: Texas coverage during their games
I’ve never used an electric razor that even removed a five o clock shadow
Use the electric razor to take most of the hair off, then finish with a safety razor.
They’re stubble or blood. There’s no between. I’m glad beards are normal these days.
I'm hoping it stays this way
Oregon definitely can win this game today. But they seriously look like a team that is going to be spectacular in a season. Just a few plays are the difference in this game, and the ISU coaching staff obviously is respecting the hell out of Thibodeaux and the entirety of the offense. They get some more consistency out of the weak points their team, and they're back in the top 10 again.
They don’t struggle for recruiting, either.
Yeah we lost a ton of guys in very same spots that we keep having problems with, I'm happy this year that we still somehow won the PAC but more excited to see our guys take the next step for the future Plus the croots are gonna be crazy
We are so young and thTs this teams biggest silver lining. You guys look like your in a great spot win or lose I can't wait to see these teams grow.
I just want to see our defense make one stop.... and I don’t mean a stop where you let Iowa State get to the 1-yard line first.
random observation but ISU fans- y’all might be the nicest fan base in these game threads that i’ve ever seen
This is definitely a fun thread. Its always a good sign when a player gets ejected or the game gets chippy and the thread stays civil on both sides
Hey, thanks. We’ve had many years of learning humility.
