[TecmoBowl]

Rhoads era stats:
17-17 career mark with a bowl game win.
8-14 in conference play
4-4 against Big 12 schools from the state of Texas

6-1 vs non-BCS programs (lost to Utah 2010)
3-2 vs non-conference BCS opponents
11-7 at home
5-8 on the road
1-2 at neutral location
15-1 when holding opponents under 24 points
5 times ISU has held a conference opponent to 10 points or less.

Notable wins:
Road:
9-7 @ Nebraska (2009)
28-21@ Texas (2010)
41-7 @ Texas Tech (2011)

Home:
52-38 over Texas Tech (2010)
44-41 over Iowa (2011)

Iowa State is 3-2 in the game that followed those wins

[TecmoBowl]

How it stacks up:
-ISU was 16-32 the previous 4 seasons(48 games) before Rhoads arrival. Rhoads has eclipsed that win total in 14 fewer games.

-McCarney's best 34 game run was 23-11 from 2000-to 2002, which occurred during his 6th to 8th season. Rhoads has approached McCarney’s best 34 game run(by 6 wins) while in the midst of his rebuilding project.

Program impact:
-1st season in program history to have 5 games drawing over 50,000
-2011 season has overall set 2nd, 3rd, and 6th highest attended games of all time

-Set season ticket sales record in 2011. Previous mark set in 2007
-Set 2nd highest attended game of all time in 2011 (vs Texas 56,390)

Facility upgrades during Rhoads tenure:
-Top 15 nationally sized video board erected in 2011
-$20 million football facility to open for 2012 season

And we care because? GTFO with this garbage.

Who wins the soap box derby this year?

[hawkeyescott]

WTF is the point of this? Does this make you feel better that your program will have another losing season for the 5th time in the last 6 seasons? But hey ISU beat Iowa so it is all good.

And don't even use the schedule as an agrument, that hasn't stopped Baylor or K-State from getting better and having winning seasons.

[ChosenChildren]

I don't get the point here. Iowa State still has to win one more game this season to go to a bowl. I don't see it happening.

Another failure of a season, as far as I am concerned. Iowa State is irrelevant in college football.

[KnightHawk9]

I'm not gonna lie. That's pretty impressive...for Iowa State.

But this is just the wrong place for the info. It's like me bragging to the CEO of my company about how much money I make.

It's the rivalry forum ladies, if you don't like it being on the main page, tell someone.

It's the Hawkeye Nation, girlie. If you don't want to hear the Iowa perspective don't make the conscious effort to peruse this board.

[Enginerd]

Rhoads has done a heck of a job, tough road to travel but hopefully he'll get the program back to where it was in the early 2000's.

Don't forget a current 5 game streak with more than 50,000 in attendance. I know it doesn't sound impressive for you Hawks, but it's never happened before at ISU.

I didn't get the Iowa perspective. I got the cry-baby, pee-pants perspective. What's the point of a rivalry forum? To talk Iowa football?

It's too lopsided to be a rivalry. A 2-1 ratio in favor of Iowa.

Since 98 it's been a little more even

Ohhhhh. Someone better tell that to KF because that dude has not yet figured out the proper forumula to beating ISU consistently.

By the way, sweet spin job there. ISU = not a rivalry for Iowa. lulz Some of you dudes cut me up!
