This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

It's more than that. by mocopdx
If every game Iowa State played in were ISU +3.5, they would've covered against #4 Oklahoma, #7 Baylor, and #16 Iowa.
We should win this game, but this is about as good as a 7-5 team can be. 3.5 seems right to me, and I don't think it has to do with our history.
Tomorrow is going to suck. We might lose. We'll likely win with something like a 24-20 game. It'll be boring, frustrating, and a true lose-lose situation.
With that said, I'm getting up at 8AM for a 14 hour day of drinking and Brian Kelly can't stop me.
