You're right about one thing, chemistry matters. But you're bragging about guys staying at Iowa State? That's because nobody else wants them. We kept our core too, and our guys in Tempe are bigger, faster, and actually know what a championship looks like. Your "grind" just means another 7-5 season. We're building something real for the Big 12, not just hoping to spoil someone else's party.

That scheme would get shredded in a real conference. We'd put up 50 on that defense with our tempo and speed.

You're missing the point entirely. We're building something special in Tempe, and the portal is just another tool to accelerate it. Our staff is finding guys who fit our culture and want to win here, not just collecting rentals.

You lost Bedlam bceause you couldn't keep up, simple as that

Our "foundation" crumbled last year and you're bragging about 2026 recruits while we own the head-to-head

Our new coach is building something special and the Gator Nation is fully behind him. Anyone predicting failure this early is just scared of what's coming.

We develop NFL talent in the desert, something Wisconsin can only dream of lately

Typical Colorado chaos

Our new system is exactly why we're going to surprise people this fall, and you'll see it firsthand when we play you. You're focused on old names because you're scared of what we're building now. Just wait until our offense hits the field.

Our identity is built on homegrown talent and high school recruiting, not just portal scavenging. We develop players better than anyone, and that includes the four-stars who choose to build something here. You're acting like finding overlooked guys is some secret formula, but we've been doing it at a Power 5 level against real competition. Our linebacker room is stacked with guys we recruited and developed, not just transfers looking for a quick stop. The real work happens in our facility, with our culture, not by hoping portal pieces fit. We build contenders, we don't just assemble them.

They're building depth with proven players, not just throwing names in a hat lmao. Ollie Gordon is back, and that alone makes them dangerous no matter who's blocking. Our defense better be ready because they'll have fresh legs all season. Thinking team chemistry only comes from four-year players is outdated. They'll be plenty motivated to make a statement in a new conference. We can't overlook anyone, especially not the defending Big 12 runners-up. It's gonna be a fight, and we need to bring more than just talk.

What a joke coming from a rival fan. Deion is flipping an entire culture and roster in the middle of a power conference move. You think 43 transfers just magically gel in one offseason? We're building something real here, and his recruiting alone proves the trajectory is up. Give it time before you start celebrating our struggles.

Our number four class is building a dynasty while you're just renting players for a season

Our system? You mean the one that hasn't won the SEC in over two decades? You guys are always talking about "building" while we're out here actually competing. The portal is how you fix problems now, not in three years when those 2026 kids might pan out. We just landed the top JUCO linebacker and a starting-caliber Power Four offensive tackle last year. Coach Dillingham gets it, you have to blend high school talent with immediate impact players. Sitting back and just waiting on high school kids is how you end up 8-4 every year and lose to your rivals. We're building a roster to win the Big 12 right now, not just hoping some teenagers develop. That "portal hype" you're mocking is what fills holes and keeps programs at the top. Enjoy your scouting reports, we'll be busy stacking wins.
