They were behind the entire game until late, late in the fourth quarter.
Got a stop on 4th and 1 in the shadow of their own goal post, then drove the field to score the winning TD.
At that was in Austin.
I know that hardly anyone was there, but it's still a come-from-behind win on the road.
And those two tight ends they have were monsters.
Horns couldn't stop them.
I am now an ISU fan. They have my respect.

So happy the Horns lost, but Tom Herman had more to do with Iowa State winning that game than anything else.

I understand, but ISU still had to make a stop, and then drive the length of the field to score.
They never led until under two minutes to play.
The Cyclones still had to make plays, when it mattered.

Sad that we have to celebrate victories of other teams because ours sucks so bad.

Can't you respect what other teams do under adverse circumstances?
Is "respect" now a "celebration"????
Never celebrated, just gave the Cyclones their due.

I don't mind ISU. Just don't like their fans. And their coach. Their AD. Their players. Their basketball team. Their stupid state.

Other than that, I think they're swell.

I'm happy for them. Like Kirby, I respect what they did. It looked like vintage Baylor football over the past decade. In fact, I was thinking Iowa State is doing what Baylor did last year: finding a way to beat every opponent to get to the title game. Except we did not lose any non-conference games & COVID was not a thing in 2019.

Clearly, someone in Iowa is pretty excited about it:

I can.

I appreciate and respect teams that overcome great odds to win. Iowa State deserves to be lauded.

Hell, I can even respect Aggies and Horned Frogs when they beat some vaunted team they were not supposed to. I particularly like to see teams that believe they are automatically entitled to the world get upset. UT and their fanbase are a perfect poster child for this.

This guy is great:



He did make an error: Iowa State beat Texas in Austin in 2010, just as the announcers kept saying during the game.

ISU had some home cooking calls go against them yesterday, yet overcame them.

Don't minimize their win. They had to go into Austin and beat a pretty good, not great, Longhorn team that had the media and pollsters insisting that "Texas is back".
The stop they pulled off at 4th and 1 on their 10-yard line was very, very hard to do, especially when Ehlinger runs with it, which he did.

As to Tom Herman's coaching errors, I saw two.
1) The fake punt. Didn't work at all and apparently ISU was ready because they had a guy on the receiver before he could get far enough upfield.
2) Going for it on 4th an 1 at the 10. Herman did this TWICE against LSU last year and came away with nothing. Had he kicked the FG yesterday at the 10, it would have meant a tie game and overtime.

(What would Tom Landry do? He would kick the FG and take the points.)

Apparently Herman is now on the hot seat. I say to watch out. They may call up Art Briles because no "big names" are available.

Let me repeat: Those two ISU tight ends were monsters. They ate the Longhorns lunch all day long.

I can profess to mixed emotions on this game, as my daughter graduated from UT-Austin, so I am "invested" in that team.
Mailed them a large check every semester.
She finished in three years, so she saved daddy some of his money.

Tight end for ISU is a family acquaintance.

First off, good kid, great future. thrilled to see him successful. Hard working, bright kid

But the Okies had this kid pegged as 2nd tier to their other recruits. They haven't been remotely correct in that observation and now Iowa State has great player.

Point being, recruiting services are scams.

By and large you are correct!

There was a time back in the late 80's and early 90's where I got excited about signing day. No more.

Signing Day is yet another tool to get alumni excited and open up the pocketbooks.

I don't see it. Too old, they have too much pride, the donors won't like the risk.

Plus, it will set the conference back when they are the ones that wanted Baylor 'fined' and then hired the guilty coach.

The Big 12 will not have anyone in the CFP this year. It will be all blue bloods, as usual: Bama, Clemson, ND, & Ohio State.

I wouldn't pencil in Ohio State just yet. If they don't play enough games to qualify for the Big Ten title game, I don't think you can justify giving them a playoff spot. The Big Ten's late start and COVID could keep them out.

And Clemson and Notre Dame are headed for a rematch in the ACC title game. If Notre Dame wins again (unlikely IMO), Clemson is out.

There are still some dominoes left to fall this year. Hopefully they do in a way that gets an outsider like Cincinnati into the mix.
