The storm that was supposed to be brewing apparently died before it got to Ames on Saturday. Iowa State lost to Northern Iowa 25-20 in the 2016 season opener.
You know, as a Cyclone fan, you’d think you’d get used to these things happening. A team you SHOULD beat handily. Especially now that the “problem” coach is gone and you’ve got a staff of guys who seem to know what they’re doing.
But this one hurt.
It’s one thing to lose a game you shouldn’t. It’s another to play like a bunch of 10-year-olds who strapped on helmets and shoulder pads for the first time.
