Give me your most unpopular take about Iowa State

[benman82]

Calling isu the cyclowns is better word play than anything we call iowa. Suckeyes is a pretty weak jab.

I'm not sure I can recall someone ever calling one the "Suckeyes". But then again...I don't like to piss off the people serving me food. That's just not smart.

Not better than hawkroach. But the word play is reinforced by our similar colors making Ronald McDonald as a Cyclones fan a pretty legit burn.

Also, I'd presume that Michigan fans would be confused by an ISU fan directing suckeyes at Iowa. The Suckeyes are obviously the team from Columbus.

I sometimes refer to them as the squakeyes. Because they are annoying as ****.

Paul Rhoads was fired 2 years too late. Administration was too much of a cheapskate to stop the bleeding after the 2013 season.

But if we fired him then, we don't get Campbell. So I'm ok with how that turned out.

They're called port-a-potties. They're not called kybo's.

KYBOs are completely different than port-a-potties. If you've been brave enough to crap in a KYBO, and survived, you would know.

This is a picture of a relatively nice KYBO. The quality goes way down in almost all other cases

Melvin was an All American and Big 12 POY. Scholar athlete of the year in the Big 12. Made at least honorable mention Big 12 all four years. 4th player ever with 1500 pts and 1000 rebounds. 2nd all time in rebounds. And yes, he was the best player on the team his senior year. He was the best player in the Big 12. I think that's why the AP and Coaches chose him as POY??????

It's really a no brainer.

Ejim, Niang and Morris should all go up.

Ejim also still (tied with Tre Young) has the big 12 single game scoring record with 48 against TCU.

I just call them shitters. No fuss.

This is an awful take and you should be ashamed of it. Or field wins award for best natural grass field in college football, and the grounds crew is one of the best in the country.

Is this guy for real? I can't tell if my sarcasm meter is broken.

Clone cones = dumb

Do you really think we should get rid of our fantastic natural grass field?

You get a wave.

I wish they would have designed Hilton like this. jk

Kudos to the OP as I've been wanting to type this out loud for years.

There is no better song to suck the excitement/energy out of a stadium then The Bells of Iowa State. I want to shoot myself every time I hear it.

What the **** is wrong with you

2013....I don't know if that was really the time anyway since ISU was at least .500 in 2012. It was and is easy to say he should have been let go earlier, but really it makes sense that 2015 was the last stance and the KSU game sealed the deal.

Who would have been available after the 2013 or 2014 seasons anyway? Mack Brown?

I wish they would have designed Hilton like this. jk

Any interior drawings for this? I have never seen that rendering before.

 

[madguy30]

That actually looks like a total mind**** for the opponent.

 

[alarson]

Bruce Van De Velde was an underrated AD. Should've held on to him.

I wish i could disagree with this more than once.

 

[madguy30]

You guys asked for unpopular: If I had to choose a college again coming out of high school, it wouldn't be Iowa State. Too much small-town culture.

That said, I'm OK with it and love being an ISU alum.

This would require going to school out of state since every school in Iowa is that and the whole state is small town culture including the 'metro' areas.

That's not a bad thing, just what you get no matter where you are.

I think i finally found my 'hot take'.

The "ISU has won awards for our grass field" take is one of the stupidest takes this fanbase has. So many schools moved away from grass over the years that this award is meaningless.
