We are little brother

Would you rather be 6-2 with a loss to Iowa than 5-4 with the win?
Rather be 6-2 with a loss to Iowa. Would mean we have no more that 1 conference loss and still in the running for the title game. To me, all the of the Hawkeye fans that feel they need to wear Iowa gear to ISU games (home and away) give off little brother energy (don't forget about us!!).

Agree 100%. And there is always at least one.

As much as I hate to, I agree with your points here. I grew up in eastern Iowa going to Iowa games. I'm now an ISU season ticket holder and have gone to almost every game for years now. The atmosphere at Kinnick feels like a football game. The atmosphere at Jack Trice doesn't except for rare moments throughout the games.

No one stands, no one cheers except for third and fourth down and then sit right back down after. I almost feel out of place making noise in my section because it feels like I am the only one that is and we've most certainly been yelled at to sit down by people behind us in the past. I want to be courteous to the people around me at any event I got to, but I'm sick of feeling like I'm not at a football game. The past few years I've tried moving my seats to different sections to see if they'd be more fun than my previous section and the answer is usually no, the experience is about the same where ever I went.

I get that this season has been a snooze fest with not much to cheer for, but the fans can definitely impact games and it seems like we choose not to.
I too have been yelled at to sit down.

Maybe Iowa State fans do this too, but the amount of Iowa fans that I've seen at our bowl games is incredibly weird. Would I go to the Maui Invitational if I happened to be in Maui when it was played? Probably. Would I go when Iowa is playing? No.
