Brock Purdy ended his career playing 11-2 Washington State, 11-2 Notre Dame, Oregon (NY6 Bowl), and 10-3 Clemson in bowl games...
Just in case you needed that refresher....
Iowa State is better because of what Brock Purdy brought to the table
First half:
MTSU: 36
LSU: 32
Free throws:
MTSU: 4-5
LSU: 4-6
Second half:
MTSU: 20
LSU: 51
Free throws:
MTSU: 2-4
LSU: 22-31
But no one will talk about that. Instead, they'll post clips about Reese waving goodbye to a kid that gave her all with the '👀' emoji.
"It's who you beat."
Iowa State has more Q1 wins
"Well, it's who you lose to."
Iowa State has fewer Q2-4 losses"
"Well, it's who you play"
Iowa State has a harder total SOS
"Well, it's about the NET"
Iowa State is ranked higher
"Well it's about you're record"
They're the same
The classic "Iowa State beats Iowa but fails to make it a good season while Iowa trips and falls and stumbles into an 8 or 9 win season and makes the B1G Championship Game" bit is always a good one.
Rookie QB with the most TDs?
Desmond Ridder? Malik Willis? Kenny Pickett? Bailey Zappe? Sam Howell? Matt Corral? Skylar Thompson?
Nope.
It's Brock Purdy.
Remember when the OU and UT bolted for the SEC and then the ACC, B1G, and Pac-12 made an "alliance" while the rest of the Big 12 wondered what their futures would look like?
Remember how "sad" the rest of the country was that one of the Power 5 conferences was essentially left
4 years ago today, Iowa State and Hilton Magic ended Baylor's 58-game conference winning streak in the regular season finale
And Kim Mulkey's reaction was priceless
Brutal,
@Big12Conference
@NCAA
Just brutal.
I'll take that apology letter in 12-point Time New Roman font please and thanks

All on initial 53-man rosters
It's never been better to be a Cyclone fan when it comes to the NFL
Not only is Iowa State not the final
#1
seed, we're not even the top 2 seed given that we're in the same region as the
#1
overall seed in UConn
The selection committee valuing games from 4 months ago more than games in the last month is the single most stupid thing ever
I am watching Iowa State vs Washington State men's basketball in Omaha, Nebraska, and somehow these commentators jammed Caitlin Clark's stat line into this broadcast
I'm so fucking sick of this
LSU got in trouble vs. MTSU, outshot them at the FT line 26-37 to 6-9
Iowa got in trouble vs. WVU, outshot them at the FT line 25-30 to 3-5
I'm onto you, ESPN
You ain't slick
My guy
@cfchangs9
asked Audi after the game if she had any reaction to fouling out.
Her response:
"No reaction. Can never have a reaction. I will never have a reaction. Ever. You will not catch me complaining. Yeah, no."
You love it see it. Leave the reactions to us 😂
Brock Purdy and George Kittle very clearly work well together and both benefit from the other playing
Brock made a jokey comment about the rivalry in a press conference in a game after they teamed up for a pair of touchdowns for the 2nd week in a row
And Iowa fans are mad
lol
@PFF
QBs are
Mariota/Ridder
Zach Wilson
Winston
Goff
Wentz
Tannehill
....
And Aaron Rodgers?
Best "landing spot" is Christian Watson and it isn't isn't close.
2022 Kansas started 5-0 after beating Iowa State
Their last 5-0 start?
2009 Kansas started 5-0 after beating Iowa State
The 2009 Jayhawks ended 5-7 and missed a bowl game
I want to reiterate
Iowa State is not even the top
#2
seed in this tournament
The committee felt there are legitimately AT LEAST 5 teams better than Iowa State after they beat Houston by 28
Iowa State coming off their worst season in the Campbell era has a chance to virtually eliminate Texas from the College Football Playoff in 6 days
Primetime.
Jack Trice Stadium.
Meaningful Football.
Let's Go.
In case you haven't seen the north side of Jack Trice yet...
I grabbed this video after work tonight. Sadly, the LED ring was off, but it still looks so damn good.
WBB Committee leader: "We favored Texas over Stanford because we saw Texas play 3 tournament teams to win the Big 12 while Stanford lost in the Pac-12 Title Game"
MBB Committee leader: "We looked at November and December and then said yeah we're good"
No, there were not 34 WRs better than Allen Lazard
No, there were not 8 QBs better than Brock Purdy
No, there were not 35 players better than Breece Hall
No, there are not 13 CBs better than TJ Tampa
This is nothing new.
Nothing has made me happier through 3 weeks of college football than BYU absolutely shitting on the Pac-12 while the National Media questions the legitimacy of the Big 12 as a Power 5 conference moving forward
I'll never forget the night I met him while delivering for Insomnia Cookies 😅
Thanks, Rob. Thanks for choosing Iowa State. ❤️💛🌪
Now go kick some ass to close out the year 💪🏻
Cyclones are not unfamiliar with this
Breece Hall had to wait
Allen Lazard had to wait
Brock Purdy had to wait
All of them have made plenty of teams look stupid for continuing to draft based on school name and not the player.
TJ Tampa will be no different.
Here you go,
@Big12Conference
YOUR LEAD OFFICIAL stating THE RUNNER BEING DOWN IS THE CALL ON THE FIELD, followed by him saying the PLAY STANDS
And STILL AWARDING THE BALL TO TEXAS
SOMEONE EXPLAIN THIS TO ME
Keyshawn Johnson: "Purdy played a solid football game, although his longest pass went for about 32 or so yards, so it's not like he was slicing & dicing & killing"
Longest pass this weekend
Love: 38
Purdy: 32
Mahomes: 32
Stroud: 29
Goff: 29
Baker: 29
Jackson: 21
Allen: 15
🤔🤔
Tre King with the single quietest 16pt, 9reb game I've ever seen
Not to mention he was 5-9 from the floor and 6-6 on free throws
Efficient, smart, precise, lethal
Just an assassin today. Deserves a hell of a lot of praise.
I'm not here to fight my Cyclone brethren on something as silly as a logo. People have different tastes, nostalgia, likes, etc. We all have our favorite and least favorite logos...
But if you think this is WORSE than "ISTATE" written in block letters, I can't help you...
Massive respect to the Iowa fans tonight in calling out the tweets directed at Audi Crooks.
There are far more of you that are defending than attacking, and I certainly notice it.
At the end of the day, rivalry aside, we're all Iowans. Stronger together.
Tyrese Haliburton talks about his relationship with
#49ers
QB Brock Purdy and their rise to stardom together coming from their Iowa State roots

To Jaren, Caleb, Rob, Tre, Jaz, Hason, Osun, and Gabe:
Thank you. Thank you for taking a chance on Iowa State University, Hilton Magic, and all of
#CyclONEnation
. Thank you for never giving up. Thank you for giving 100% every second you spend on and off the court and for giving
There might not be a bigger NFL draft snub.
33. THIRTY. THREE. receivers were taken that year... And Lazard wasn't one. No one will ever convince me he was the 34th best receiver in the class.
Glad my Packers picked him up and are giving him his shot.
49ers fans may not know this about Brock Purdy, but his college story is almost identical to his pro story.
Came in as a freshman (rookie) and then after an injury and a benching to the 2 QBs higher on the depth chart, he took over a 1-3 team, leading an offense that hadn't hit
Iowa has wins over:
3-5 Utah State
5-3 Iowa State
3-6 Western Michigan
2-6 Michigan State
2-6 Purdue
5-3 Wisconsin
Iowa State has wins over:
5-3 Northern Iowa
6-2 Oklahoma State
4-4 TCU
2-6 Cincinnati
3-5 Baylor
Combined records
Iowa: 20-29
Iowa State: 20-20
Iowa State's tournament team was
A Minnesota transfer (Gabe)
2 St Bonaventure transfers (Shoon/Holmes)
A Denver transfer (Robert)
A Wazzu transfer (Jaz)
An EKU transfer (Tre)
A VCU transfer (Hason)
3 Freshmen (Tamin/Eli/Demarion)
A KU QB (Conrad)
1 year ago today,
@brockpurdy13
was brought into the game after Jimmy G went down with a season-ending injury.
The NFL will forever be changed because of that day.
Congrats, Brock, on a tremendous first full year of NFL Quarterbacking.
Here's to many more.
Just remember folks:
Iowa State played 8 girls tonight... Nyamer Diew is the only one of them with more than the 7 games of experience with this team coming into the game.
5 true freshmen and 2 transfers from Sacramento State and Truman State.
Give this team some time.
Iowa St. product Brock Purdy on his connection with Iowa’s George Kittle:
“I wish I got him that third touchdown, threw it a little short, but you can’t get a Hawkeye too many touchdowns.” 😂
Iowa State has played 60 minutes of basketball against Baylor and Texas in the Big 12 Tourney
Subtracting the final 4 minutes of the Baylor game, they've shot TWO free throws.
TWO IN 56 MINUTES
TWO
If Brock Purdy leads the 49ers to a Super Bowl win, he'll have won 10 games as an NFL starter in 1 year.
A feat he, nor anyone else, has accomplished at Iowa State.
Speaking of, did you guys know Iowa State has never won 10 games in a single season?
Can I just say
I want to send a big shoutout to Matt Campbell and Nate Scheelhaase tonight. There was a lot of scrutiny, some deserved, some not, throughout the week and they stepped up, man. Were there some questionable decisions, yeah... but they put a lot of trust in Rocco,
So
- Fumble recoveries count after the whistle
- Oregon touchdowns count after the whistle
BUT
- Jaylin Noel kick returns don't count after the whistle
Glad we made that clear,
@NCAA
Brock Purdy was 0/4 in the first quarter.
Since then, he's 19/23 for 314 yards and 4 touchdowns.
Against the 10-1 Eagles.
On the road.
Making. A. Damn. Statement.
When Jack Trice Stadium saw Mike Rose had the ball, it created the loudest noise I've ever heard in my life.
Probably my favorite moment I've ever witnessed there.
