10 Wins. Wish my dad could have seen this. He raised us a Cyclone Fans in Eastern Iowa during those scarcest of years.
Reflecting on yesterday and the season, what stands out to me the most is the juxtaposition of what took place in Ames Saturday compared to some of the 'Mecca's' of College Football.
I am not sure why you need to refuse to shake hands at the start of the game or plant your flag on your opponents logo or respond with violence when that happens to show you are the better program.
Ironic that ISU can get flack for 'finally joining the 10 win club after 100+ years' and yet these 'elite programs' are still looking for a way to demonstrate their 'superiority' after all of their 'magnificent' 10+ win seasons and winning a game. Still screaming 'Hey, look at me' after all that incredible success?
I'll take a flyer and suggest ISU nation will respectfully decline the invitation to your special 'club'. 10 wins is great. Check that box. There are more to check and this program will eagerly pursue those.
We don't need to chase the superiority, hope it stays that way.
I won't pretend ISU has some corner on the Five Star culture or whatever you want to call it Whatever you call it, I love this Cyclone version of it and all of its anxiety and imperfections! Really glad my dad gifted me being a fan of it!
