Cy-Hawk Game This Year: Revenge or Just Shutting Up Their Idiot Fans?

Iowa State is a better football program than Iowa right now and I'm not even sure it's close
Another? I mean, last season was a pretty hard measuring stick. ISU did win the Fiesta Bowl in an empty stadium vs. a 4-2 team that finished 2nd in the P12 North so that is great I guess. Iowa's last two games got cancelled.
I don't think Iowa believes it can get "any coach they want". It is certainly a top 25 job though. The only downside is the in state population of players. You just don't have many.
hmmm, they have beat us 5 times in a row. We can't make that claim. I mean, we don't know how good Iowa would have been last year had it not been a Covid year. They ended up winning 6 in a row, so they are obviously pretty darn good. Plus, they have history of being a good program (weak schedule aided no doubt) and we do not. Bottom line is we have to actually beat them on the field before we claim we have a better program.
You don't even believe that, but keep going. Programs are made over decades. ISU is having a couple good years, but Iowa has been doing it for decades. They've had some down years of course, but have been a team consistently in or around the top 25 for as long as I can remember and all under 2 coaches.
I hope MC stays around. It is good for the State. I think if he does they can have some sustained success or at least not be one of the 2 worst teams in the B12.
Iowa State was better last year and will be better again this year. We will be the better football program as long as Campbell is here and Ferentz is there. You have to realize Ferentz is easily the worst person in all of CFB right now
This speaks more to the fact that Campbell is an elite coach and nobody respects Ferentz anymore.
Programs are made over decades? Lol I wouldn't switch football programs with Nebraska right now like you would apparently
Lol lots of butthurt in that one.
It was Breece essentially calling out PFF for leaving him off their top 5 returning RB’s, which is ridiculous.
I don’t think he understands the irony to his post lol. He literally sounds like an Alabama fan.
"Iowa has been in or around the top 25 for as long as I can remember" as Kirk Ferentz has 8 top 25 finishes in 22 years lol
ISU had the best regular season record in the Big12, played for a conference title, and played in a NY6 bowl. It was empty because of covid restrictions so that's an idiotic comparison.
How is that hard to measure vs Iowa getting second in their division and making the Music City Bowl?
Plus the teams they beat in that six game winning streak were weak. They didn't blow anybody out.
ISU is quickly becoming one of the best programs in the Big12. Iowa is the second best in their division in the last years of their coaches tenure.
The only one overinflating their program status is you.
It's hard to play a tough schedule in the B1G West. Not much competition there. Throw in the fact you only play tOSU once every 15-20 years and it's all easy peasy.
How is it even possible to only play against a team in your own conference 4 times in 15 years?
I don’t understand Iowa fans making fun of a 4-2 record when Iowa’s record was 6-2 and they beat one team with a winning record. (Wisconsin who also didn’t beat a team with a winning record)
The fact of the matter is that Oregon was a solid team who, when presented with a good opportunity, beat #13 and 5-0 USC in the PAC-12 title game.
