PrintLittle Brother Week is upon us, and so we spend a half-hour with the one tolerable Cyclone fan on the planet. CrossCyed, of Clone Chronicles fame, joins us for the podcast to break down the 2010 Cyclones. There is disturbingly little mockery here, mostly because CC is so good at self-deprecating humor. There is, however, good information for anyone who didn't see the ISU opener (which I'll just assume is pretty much everyone here).
Listen below or on iTunes.

Bunch of things
- The Yahoo Player is awful. You can’t toggle back and forth within the podcast which is stupid.
- I agree with the sentiments of your discussion that Iowa State is going to be at a massive disadvantage from a personnel standpoint. Particularly in terms of size. So the only way Iowa State wins this is for Iowa to have turnovers, and probably awful turnovers.
- Iowa State has a large offensive line and so I expect them to try to run…a lot.
- Austen Arnaud (AA) is the wild card here, not Stanzi. Arnaud will have to win this game for Iowa State. No single player for Iowa needs to carry this game on his back. Iowa can win with a bad Stanzi game. Iowa State cannot win with a bad Arnaud game.
- Robinson v. Robinson is not really going to happen. Robinson v. Iowa’s running game is more likely to be a storyline as Jewel is going to get carries and maybe 1/2 (although ARob will get most if not all the first quarter carries).
- The effect of rain if it happens? More (some) turnovers? Does weather hurt a timing based passing game? Render this a running game?
- The best thing the guest said was that Iowa State is not an offensive oriented team. For Iowa St. to win the game they will need to hope for a 14-9 type game. The statistics support this (about Iowa State’s offense that is) and their games from last year support this. While Iowa State employees an offense that on the face of it is about accumulating plays thanks to the no huddle, and ultimately possessions should correlate to points, this offense is really like a passing version of 3 yards in a cloud of dust.
- It is obvious that Iowa State believes the template for this win is to force Iowa into a ton of turnovers ala Nebraska win last year.
Bottom line: A loss here for Iowa is a sign of real problems and obviously a sign of Outback Bowl ceiling. They enter this game with so many advantages it is almost silly: home field, size advantage, more senior leadership, speed advantage, arguably better coached if nothing else based on coaching stability and system consistency advantages for Iowa, Iowa has better QB & better WRs, line advantage when ISU on offense, line standoff when Iowa on offense, Iowa RBs who have history of not fumbling, Iowa defense lives for this offense…one where mistakes are almost guaranteed.
Finally, the notion that Iowa State will score 24 points (which the guest suggested will happen) is nothing short of silly. Iowa State has to show they can score even one TD before that kind of outlandish prediction can be taken seriously.

I thought about that afterwards
and you’re right, 24 probably is a bit high for ISU. They will likely need to make the game ugly to win.
never thought about the fact that you would read my critique of your comments
sorry to sound like such a dick…although I am kind of a dick on this blog.

Not at all stoops.
It just sounds like it.

Really Stoops? be honest now. I keed, I keed.

Son of an NFL quarterback?
He’d never go to Iowa State.

Where does he even play anymore.
I know he played for Seattle for a number of years, but I haven’t heard much of him since Carroll took over the team.
Welcome to Ohiowa, the great potato state!
A loss here for Iowa is a sign of real problems and obviously a sign of Outback Bowl ceiling.
SMA – at the risk of appearing swaggerless; first the Outback isn’t the worst of ceilings and second, hasn’t this game been a bit of an anomaly during the Ferentz years? It seems that as often as not, the result is not indicative of the rest of our season.
the trailer hitch scrotum was my idea
In prior years we either
lacked seniro leadership or had QB issues (Tate being injured, etc.) and were unable to overcome QB challenges. Iknow it is in vogue to view this game as an emotionally charged anything-can-happen affair. And really, every college football game is that way. But from an analysis standpoint I don’t think there is any denying that losing this game would be a real eye opener. This isn’t Northwestern of last year. Northwestern would have taken out Iowa State last year 7 out of 10 times, or more. Also, Iam not suggesting that Outback Bowl is a bad ceiling in and of itself. We have enjoyed many a trips to Tampa. But the vast majority of fans would see Outback as a disappointment in this season and this season alone.

Awesome theme music
I don’t catch every podcast, though I’ve been listening more recently. Love the opening theme (and Keyboard Cat was good too). If you’re recording a new one any time soon, may I suggest the tune of the Louis theme? It would sound good with the singer’s falsetto, and I’m guessing based on comedic styles there are plenty of Louis C.K. fans on here (clearly Jacobi at least).
Keep up the good work, and back to hate week. RRRRAAAAWWWWRRRR I HATE ISU ALMOST AS MUCH AS PURDUE!!!

The only way ISU wins
is if they simply outwork us, which they have done before. Does it happen this time? No. Again, the best thing to ever happen to this year’s team was last year, the blend of confidence from big game wins and humility gained from close games that should never have been. The team will be ready to go.
This may still be an uncomfortable game in the first half, particularly if Arnaud can get into a rhythm with short passes, picking on our linebackers and corners, and if our O-line takes a while to get it togehter. Still, I expect us to pull away in the second half.
In Norm we trust.
David Koresh and buyin pants for Cross Cyed... that's just good podcastin'.

Clown Chronicles
is bringing the hate. They could have done a much better job. Instead, this post lacks any semblance of wit and/or humor, which is what I love about the Pants. Probably why writers go Iowa City and cows go to Ames.
Oh and
sorry I’m not as funny as arguably the best college football blog period…..
When you are writing on your own site, let me know, and I’ll be sure to check it out.
I didn't mean to type "arguably"
Either way, this is the best site…. Anyone on here get mad at their girlfriend/wife because they aren’t as hot as Brooklyn Decker? I know of at least one person on here that probably does.
seriously, I should commend you
for being civil. it’s harder to hate a team when the other side doesn’t bring the vitriol. That being said, Go Hawks!
Be careful with that offer
Some Ohio State fans will wander over and continually pimp their site.

My wife thought we were still playing pre-season games.
And asked when we’d start playing real opponents.

Someone should make that the title
of a weekly feature
I ate the blue ones ... they taste like burning.
What a tremendous suggestion.

Eh
I doubt anybody would google it.

Correction...
…it was “all good” until you dropped the “s’all good dogg” because when you start saying stupid shit (/tongue in cheek) like that it ceases to be “all good”… and then I HATE, HATE, HATE, HATE, HATE, HATE, HATE, HATE, HATE, HATE, HATE, HATE, HATE, HATE, HATE, HATE, HATE, HATE.

Am I the only one having problems with skipping audio?
Using Google Chrome, here, clicking on the link on this page.
You see what I did there? Yeeeaaaaaahhhh.
Just Listened to a BHGP Podcast for the First Time
Since my man Crosscyed was on there…. Definitely a different perspective when you hear the voices of PV and AJ…
