They seemed like a cocky bunch to me.

That and the Cuban ringer they brought in.
They were dislikable, but we have our share of athletes I'd hate if they were from other countries.

There are a few heated rivals in some events, but I bet if you could get anonymous responses from athletes, we'd be the country they'd most want to beat to advance. We bring a ton of athletes with us. We're not going to get a lot of sympathy for losing or bandwagon fans from other countries.

For those who remember Iowa State was Erriyon Knighton's first offer as a football player. He had tons of football offers early in high school then went pro in track and field as like a 16 year old.
