In the Trenches: Midseason Musings

Erase the record.

After a well-placed bye week, the Cyclones open the second half of the season against their Big 12 brethren. I know most fans have shifted their sports hopes and dreams to basketball, which, in Ames, is a much more satisfying endeavor. The bye week, and work, forced me to step back a little and flush this season’s frustrations. I suspect the coaching staff has encouraged the team to do the same. So, below, I wanted to just make somewhat random comments about what we have seen and what I think about the team and the second half of the season.
