They are not on equal footing. They have higher academic standards for entrance. Just like Northwestern in the Big 10. It is not an easy place to win at.

I'm sorry but Devries better than Jake? That is far and away one of the dumbest things I've ever read on here.
Well, if they win in Iowa City next season they will have won 4 out or the last 5 ( I like their chances). That wouldn't really be chasing anymore now would it? I don't deny that the Clones have accomplished more the last 20 years, that's just a fact. We'll see how next season plays out but it appears momentum is swinging east. You can't deny there is a high level of concern among the Cyclone fans. You have 4 empty scholarships and Prohm is under a lot of pressure to bring in some help fast.
they weren't great but they weren't terrible either. They certainly didn't underachieve as much as the Cyclones did.
I think it would've been a coin flip who would've won if the two teams had played late in the year.
So what words would you use to describe Iowa State and Drake this most recent year if they weren't terrible? Average? Bad?
if you want to compare and hold the Cyclones to the same standard as Drake go right ahead. Lol. Maybe you should talk to your congressman and see if you can get an annual football and basketball series set up with them.
Not sure what you're trying to accomplish here? So you've won 3 of the last 4 (I'll wait on next year because I can remember a couple of times in recent years where ISU thought they would win and didn't)- were you on here 4-5 years ago telling us about how ISU had won 5 of the previous 6? We get that you're fired up that you werely clearly better than ISU for the first time in two decades. I'm not denying Prohm is on the hot seat and needs to win next year. Just like IA fans were disgruntled with Alford before he was done. Just like IA only put up with Lickliter for 3 years. Just like IA fans have had plenty of times the last ten years that they believed Fran was not the answer. It's college sports and it happens EVERYWHERE- especially at places like IA and ISU. If Prohm doesn't fill those four 'ships with enough talent, he'll be gone. I happen to think he's a first class guy (much like Tom Davis) and I hope he gets it done. IA was 20-11 and in a four way tie for 5th place- it's not like they won the league and went to the Final Four. If that's your measuring stick these days, go for it. We clearly were not near our measuring stick this year but have a little bit of credit built up as a program (Prohm doesn't).
The need to come on here and seek justification by reminding us of your "great" year comes off a little small to me.
