Purdy: That it ended like that – just my college career and everything – to go out like that sucks, not going to lie. But I can say I gave everything I got to this program, to this team, to Ames, and no one can take that away from me.

Tough ending for Iowa State, and I’m sure people will question Campbell’s decision to go for 2. But: A team down three touchdowns in the second half had a chance to win the game in one play. You take that chance.

What serious is Iowa State (and specifically T.J. Otzelberger) about maintaining a routine and staying even-keeled?. The Cyclones are getting on the bus tonight and heading back to Ames. Historically, they've always stayed in KC after winning a title.

College sports are so incredibly messed up at the moment, but you don't get a moment like Demarion Watson - who had scored a total of 23 points prior to tonight in conference play - get a standing ovation from 14,000 fans in many other places. A lifetime memory, I'd imagine.

You'd think dropping 29 & 10 in a 20-pt win against Iowa would be enough for Izaiah Brockington to endear himself to Iowa State fans, but then he drops a quote like this:. "You could feel the energy that the fans had. Definitely, dare I say, Hilton Magic.". Runnin' up the score.

Campbell on Hall's fumble: I watch the line judge on our side signal a touchdown, and then it’s not a touchdown. I guess I don’t understand really the mechanics of what’s going on. We can’t put ourselves in a position where we let others dictate the outcome of the game.

I feel like this Iowa State team making the Sweet 16 much like I did about Joel Lanning moving from quarterback to linebacker. It's absolutely insane and happening right in front of our eyes to the point it's difficult to contextualize the lunacy of the whole thing.
