I was actually fairly proud of the Hawkeye fans I know, I only heard the "superbowl" comment once after the game and that guy was hammered. It's progress since last year.

UI will crush UNI this weekend.

Not so fast. UNI will be coming into this game knowing they can win. It's going to be a battle just like ISU vs Iowa. I expect Iowa to win, but it's going to be a battle. UNI is always a solid FCS team.

The great thing about Rhoads is that he came to build a program. Beating the in-state rivals is certainly a good thing, but it no longer matters if we don't do anything with the rest of the season. I can definitely tell that is the case for the team now too. And, slowly, but surely, most of the fanbase is starting to change their thinking too!

A win over iowa is definitely no longer "all that matters". The hawks are just trying to make themselves feel better by thinking of us that way ("little brother", "superbowl", etc). Calling UNI the best team in the state is just their latest way of doing it.

Meanwhile, the coach, team and most of the fans have moved on and are hoping for (& beginning to expect) better things from the rest of the season.....time to go out and improve against WIU!

The trophy is in the case and we can worry about it again next September!

To be fair though, it is hard to make the super bowl claim when we obviously played like crap and did everything in our power to **** away the game after the 1st quarter.

UNI 11 to Iowa -6
It has never been done (to my knowledge), but Iowa finds a way to a negative score

I will be the biggest UNI fan ever this Saturday - more so than when the beat Kansas in hoops. After the game they can drift away into obscurity & smoke from the fires in the Eyes' nest in IC will be seen from Des Moines.

uni 3 to iowa 2.

where the safety comes from uni hiking it out the back of the endzone, and nothing can be claimed accomplished by the hoks.

So I am confused, if the UNI fans are cheering for Iowa and we are all cheering for UNI, what are the Iowa fans doing?

Pay no attention to it and just laugh. It's the bitter mutterings of LOSERS. The reasonable among their fanbase are embarrassed by it.

I think a tree falling makes a sound in a forest if there is no one there to hear it
Otherwise, I think they will be cheering on their new favorite team, the Northern Illinois Huskies

Not so fast my friend! (in my best Lee Corso voice) I really think this could be the year that UNI beats the Hawks.

Quit listening to the stupid black and gold parrot logo sqawks. They suck. Move on, it's Western Illinois time now.
As a lifelong Cyclone fan and devoted parrothead I take offense to comparing the squawkeye logo to a parrot
