Where’s that poster who said ISU would be winning conference championships and in the playoffs in the coming years? He was a sporty guy!
All the Clown trolls slunk away once they lost 4 straight games & couldn’t puff their chests about backing into CFP via their weak conference.

Now with the dumpster fire in LAmes….guessing we won’t see any of them back for a looooong time! 😂

They beat us on a double bank shot for a first down. Otherwise they punt and probably lose it.

If Kirk loses to an ISU Team that has had it's entrails laid on the ground and is introducing a new Staff , System and nearly entire new Roster with less than elite NIL and finances My answer will be it is time He hands the reigns to someone at the end of the 2026 Season
It's been time for a decade and I fully expect them to lose to the clowns next year.

I don't like Iowa State and I usually hope for them to lose.

But still, I take very little pleasure in what's happened to them in the last few weeks. It's a smaller scale of happened to Drake in basketball. To have your program doing well and then receive daily bad news after the bad news that your coach left kind of sucks.

But since that have beaten the Hawks twice in a row, I'll get over it. ;)
You're obviously not a true hawk fan because any hawkfan that feels sorry for anything that happened to that s*** bag program is a closet clown fan

Uni is awful. Beyond awful. I think they beat 1 or 2 teams that had scholarship football. Uni will have their hands full with Drake next year.
This is unfortunate.
They granted me a (signed) diploma back in the last century (for good behavior, not necessarily scintillating brilliance).

Clones gonna pass Okie State by tomorrow for the infamous "portaled out" trophy!!!

How long before we hear the "Rogers pushed them out the door" explanation?

Really hoping this whole thing sets back their program 10 or so years. That way Iowa can re-establish themselves as the place for in-state recruits to shoot for. Especially with Lester repairing all the damage baby Brian did to the national perception of our offense, hopefully we can start winning over the guys on offense that may have considered the Clowns over us.

The downfall of ISU is a view into the future of the slow death of College Football.

This will only happen again & again as Athletic Programs are left on the side of the road.

The game of collegiate football will be a footnote in another money-making opportunity for those that live by different rules.

I am sorry but I take no joy in this.

This will only happen to the bottom-feeding programs like MooU & other lil bros.

The Hawks will be left standing when this all shakes out.

Exactly why You hire someone on Staff when Kirk retires that already has won over the locker room , Pre portal Days Kids mostly stayed because You had to sit a Year now only stability and Culture keeps rosters in place and avoids Years of rebuild for non Historically Elite Programs

Hope you're right.
The difference is coaching vacancies in the B1G/SEC vs everywhere else.

The revenue in these two conferences will always dwarf everyone.
BTW: For those keeping track...portal transfers count up to 44.
They've seized the trophy from Okie State!
I don't think it's a coincidence that both are in the Lil 12.

Players choose a team based on the school, the coach, their academic track, the location, the history and rep of the program.

Apparently ISU had only one of those things going for them and that's gone.

How else would you explain the mass defections?
Seems they are leaving since the coach is gone and other opportunities, appears there was little Iowa State offered them to want to stay

Their new coach won 2 FCS National Championships, correct? I thought that might give him some credibility, where players might take their time & not jump ship....

So much for that thought!
