It is funny because you only posted part of my post. I am waiting for Pollard the racist to cancel the Iowa series.
exactly. You should feel terrible for having supported such a racist culture.
do you think Kirk knows everything that goes on on in his program? Do you think he actually knows the people he hires?
do you think he established the culture of Iowa football?
do you think he knew where Brian lived?
do you think he knew that sending people in to clean up a room, where he was sure enough a crime was committed he pressured the victim to not go to the police, do you think he knew that destroying evidence was a crime!

Over the last few years, one team has increased the capacity of their stadium, one has shrunk the capacity of theirs. May be a better indicator of who has a fan base that is growing and whose is shrinking.
You're comparing two Iowa State fans to Kirk Ferentz. This is dumb even for you
Iowa State doesn't need the game so not sure how you can "need it more than_____" when you don't need it at all
If Pollard cancelled the season Barta would sue because they have a contract in place. Canceling a series isn't like firing a coach for cause
I don't think Iowa should get kicked out of the NCAA but they should face some penalties. Loss of scholarships, no bowl appearances for a few years, etc
But yet we still get to read over and over Gonzo waving the character card with Capt. Kirk.
It's funny to me how iowa fans think that ISU needs this game to be "relevant". Maybe they do in iowa fans' minds, but ISU is in a P5 conference and if they win enough games, they'll be relevant. The world does not revolve around a yearly 7-5/8-4 team that can't even win their crappy division.
This is a fallacy that only Iowa fans create. If the CyHawk game ends ISU has a ton of teams in the region that they could add for a home and home that would have plenty of interest (Nebraska, Missouri, Colorado, Minnesota, Illinois). Iowa on the other hand is pretty limited, sure you might possibly get ND to play you in Chicago or Indy once, but after that you look around and the cupboard is pretty dry. The bridge has been burned with Missouri and Iowa didn’t sellout the last time they played Pitt, so congrats to the Hawks in their upcoming home and home series with Kansas and Kansas State.
Maybe ISU doesn't need the Iowa game to be "relevant"? Remind me who ISU played when ESPN rolled into town with College Gameday.
ISU was going to get CGD eventually. They just needed to find a good game on the schedule where there wasn't an obvious better choice. I'm not going to say that Cy-Hawk isn't a big game that at least moves the needle a little bit nationally. But, a 5-2 ISU vs a 7-0 OU would be a bigger game. Saying that ISU got CGD mostly because of iowa is ridiculous and just furthers the point that some iowa fans think the world revolves around their above average program. It doesn't. I'm sorry, but even knowing our history, there's no reason to kiss the a$$ of a program that has pretty much won nothing of significance. We play better teams on a yearly basis.
I didn't say it was mostly because of Iowa, but College Gameday did show up when Iowa was the opponent. And yes ISU plays at least one team a year that is better than Iowa if not more than one.
Home and homes with those teams would require ISU to travel out of state for a non conference road game against a P5 school which hasn't happened for almost 30 years.
