Iowa State biggest choke in sports history?

[Charlie Marlow]

1:20 left, up 7. 1st and 10 at KSU 45. KSU with 1 timeout.
All they have to do is pretty much run out the clock.
They fumble. KSU gets a TD to tie.
ISU gets ball back with 40 seconds left.
ISU decides not to go for a score but play for OT.
They fumble again. KSU FG for the win.

We had some bad luck this year, but that takes the cake.

sounds pretty bad. texas getting shut out by iowa state 25-0 is pretty bad too, considering how much money is thrown around in texas football and how they are supposed to be kings in the best recruiting grounds.

Right there with some of your bonehead losses this year.

About like Iowas loss to Nebraska last year, so crappy of a win, we fire our coach anyway.

idk our loss to illinois was pretty terrible

That Illinois loss was worse. The preparation, the game planning, the execution, and the game management were all awful.

Rhodes should be fired this morning for that debacle. Just take a knee and punt the damn ball with less than 20 seconds left. Stupidest coaching since Riley and company for the month of Sept and Oct.

That was a crappy loss for Iowa, for sure. Complete meltdown. I hope the Iowa boys watch that game before Friday.

In 1958, Iowa State finished behind Nebraska ...

Some things don't change ... Iowa State Football is a prime example.

After attending the Iowa State game last week vs. Oklahoma State ... 35-14 ISU, becomes 38-35, oh my!

peace

How do you not just take a knee there when your team has already fumbled six times?

 

[jlb321]

the only saving grace for ISU and Rhodes is that no one gave a sh*t about that game or gives a sh*t about the program

Apparently the Athletic Director does because Rhoades just got fired

 

[jlb321]

I should have clarified no one outside of Iowa state.

 

[cubsker]

seems pretty short sighted to fire him. they showed some pretty good improvement against okie st and then yesterday. Not sure who ISU can get that's better with there being so many higher profile openings this offseason.

 

[RealHusker]

I can think of at least one choke-job this year that was worse...

I know, just having a little fun. With all of the openings this year, it's going to be tough for them to find a decent coach. Will be interesting to see if they pursue Pelini or Frost. Though I doubt Frost would potentially ruin his promising career by going to Ames, but the Cyclones actually do have a lot of young talent on offense.
