About two years ago I asked the trolls to post the threads that ISU fans start over on the hawk boards. Crickets was the response. I asked them to post threads that cyclone fans have a large share of posts on, once again crickets. That hawk fan base is here for some major validation.
And then, to justify their behavior, they claim that ISU fans do the exact same thing on HokNation - or whatever their fan site is. It's been a long time since I visited an "in-state rivals" forum on a hoksite. However, most of what I read was 99.9% hok posters making fun of ISU, and an occasional "respectful" post by someone like mj4cy. I did NOT find any posts by Cyclones looking for validation of the success of the Cyclones. The mantle of ISU being a little brother (to which there may actually have been some proof during the McCarney or Rhoads years) officially passed to the Hokeyes (a number of years ago, I might add). What is my proof? Well, in many of these CF ISR forums, threads are littered with hok posters looking for approval from their big brother.
You obsess about Iowa right here in this forum, there is no need for you to go to a Hawk site. I mean there isn't even a peep about ISU or it's players any longer. Before the Iowa vs ISU game it was how Iowa sucked, ISU was gonna kill them, Twins guaranteed that Iowa couldn't win at ISU, that ISU was a NCAA Tournament team, and on and on. Now it is just sad really that ISU fans are reduced to becoming fans of whomever Iowa is playing that night/week.
