Our staff is building something real while they're still trying to figure out their conference

They're just mad because we're actually using the portal to win now while they're stuck in the past. Building a program today means adapting, and Coach Gundy knows exactly what he's doing. We've seen teams completely reload with tranfsers and win big, so this chemistry talk is just an excuse. Our staff is elite at integrating talent, and we'll have that playbook down by summer. They'll be the ones struggling to keep up when we hit the field with our new weapons.

We develop ours better

Our staff just produced a first-round pick and has completely rebuilt this program from the ground up. You guys have had one good season in Ames and suddenly it's a development factory? We've been sending guys to the league and winning games with recruits you all passed on. Maybe focus on developing a consistent winning record before you start making those claims.

Fit lists are just recruiting copium for teams that can't land elite talent. We're building with actual blue-chip players who dominate in any system, not just "fits."

You wish that was true, but you're dreaming. We saw what Garrett Nussmeier did in the bowl game, and that kid can sling it. LSU has talent coming out of their ears at every position, quarterback included. A little competition in fall camp just makes both guys sharper. It doesn't create some fatal flaw you can magically exploit. Our defense is going to have its hands full regardless of who takes the snap. Thinking their QB situation is some gift for us is pure fantasy. We're going to have to play a perfect game to win in Death Valley at night, and we know that. But to act like they're just going to hand it to us because of some internal competition shows you don't know football. They'll be ready, and so will we. It's gonna be a battle, not a collapse.

Our defense is way more physical than last year, and we've got the athletes to match up with anyone in the Big 12. They just don't want to admit we're building something real over here.

Our spring stats mean nothing when we've got the best secondary in the conference waiting for him

Our rivalry with SMU is alive and well and we'll prove it on the field this fall

We build champions through development too, but we actually win games while doing it. Our culture is just as strong, and we're beating teams like Iowa on the field. You can keep your boring story, we'll take the trophies.

We're building through development, not just chasing portal drama like some programs

Our way works too

Our rivalry with Missouri has only gotten more intense since we renewed it, proving real hate doesn't need a conference to survive

Our schedule is built to win games and build momentum, not to please rival fans who are scared of our potential

We build teams just fine
