I would bet KS would be licking his chops if they got to play Minnesota. Brock and Co would carve them up like a Christmas ham. And I say that as a Viking fan.
49ers - Brock Purdy - Still and Always #1

Did you catch Kittle's smartass question to the crew in the post game interviews when the attention was going too much to Brock (it sure seemed to me that Kittle was working overtime to draw attention to himself) and Kittle asked them to ask Brock how many games he won against Iowa during his 4 years. Dude just showed the world the true difference between a Cyclone and a Hawk.
To his credit I think the question was raised by the bald guy and Kittle took the bait. Could be wrong. You can't see the studio when question was asked.
Teammates flip each other **** all the time. Take off your cyclone colored glasses and realize that’s all it was. In the end fans care about cyclones vs Hawkeyes way more than the players. The NFL is the ultimate level playing field: no one gives a damn where you came from, only that you can play.
That was nothing but friendly banter
In fact, I've been trying to find his quote shortly after that where he said that he was carving up the first string D when he got there. Some pretty good praise
Kittle said he would do it for him. As in Brock refused to talk about how awesome he was.
Its the generation of EIU fans that grew up during the 15 game winning streak for EIU. For many of them, for years, the ISU game was an automatic victory, and they struggle to accept that EIU can ever lose to ISU, because for years, it never happened.
They are trapped in the past, and refuse to move past that point.

I watched last night at the local small town sports bar, probably 50/50 Iowa/ISU fans. Everyone was rooting for the 49ers with the Purdy to Kittle connection. It was a lot of fun
Somewhere I heard them say first time he threw the ball all week was in the hotel. Must have been a long hallway
Exactly. Confident wins a locker room pretty quickly. Cocky does not.
I read that it was in the hotel ballroom....wedding receptions, business conferences, football practice, whatever...lol
Not sure if already posted, but nice interview with Haliburton about Purdy (has a follow up video talking more about Brock too).

Purdy's NFL success no surprise to friend, NBA guard Haliburton
Brock Purdy and Tyrese Haliburton both attended Iowa State at the same time, and their respective NFL and NBA journeys ever since have been magical.

The fact that your bothered by it shows Cyclones can be petty.
Good thing 22-25 year olds have thicker skin and can give and take **** better than some CFers.
He won me one a few years ago when he was with the Dolphins. Oddly good for fantasy compared to real life
Agreed. I hate Iowa as much as, if not more, than the next Cyclone fan. But if Kittle is gonna help Brock win games and make a Super Bowl run? Then I hope he has the games of life and catches ever thing near him. As long as they are teammates, I am the HUGE George Kittle fan.
Heck, it seems like fans are the only ones who care about the rivalry anymore. Coaches seem to see it as a practice/tune up opportunity for conference play.
