Anyone else struggling to get exited for the CyHawk game?

This was the exact poll today on The Afternoon Players Club on AM 1600 Cedar Rapids. The crazy thing was Iowa Fans were not even excited for this game. 65% of the poll was not excited in pure NE Iowa University territory.
I'm excited because I can't believe our offense could truly be that bad. Take away the turnovers and the game goes the other way IMO. Plenty to look forward to still and hoping for a great game. Haven't lost in Iowa City since 2010, cheers to keeping the streak alive!
That makes sense to me. There is no trash talking. Hawks fans will say something about how bad our team is and it's like "yep. True." They aren't excited because it's a lose-lose. They either beat up on a bad team and ISU fans have legit excuses or they lose to a bad ISU team. It reminds me of the game two years ago. We have nothing to lose and I remember I was really loose for that one but apathy was thick.
I am excited to see if the team can improve. There were a lot of errors last week that the team should be able to correct.
As someone else said, ISU is playing with house money, there is nothing to lose in this game. If ISU gets hammered, well they were supposed to do that. If they play well and loose it will show they are getting better. If they can somehow pull off a win, they will raise a lot of eyebrows and ruin the Hawks dream of a NC game before it can really get rolling.

The last time I got excited about this game was 1977 when we were a top 20 team or should have been and we went into the game as heavy favorites and lost 10-7.........
On the way home from Iowa City my wife sez its a mistake to play Iowa and after ten straight losses I tended to agree with her............
Boys in the big 12 we have to Win every NON Conference game and win 3 conf games to get bowl eligible and that's never going to change..........
Success in football is a bowl game every year .........
fyi Our er ISU's success rate historically is 44 percent, Paul Rhoads the last 3 years won 22 percent of his games

Yeah, not very excited. Our o-line looked like it could be manhandled by a good high school team. Fearing what Iowa's DL will do to us.
If having a bad football team makes you lose interest, how are you still an ISU fan? There are teams every year who I'll admit are unbeatable for our program in its current state, Iowa isn't one of them.
I'm guessing there were a lot of fans that were drinking the kool aid in full force this time around with Campbell and all the hype that was being built in the off season. A lot of people were probably convincing themselves that "this time it's different, this is the guy to turn the corner at ISU". Which for the record I personally do think this staff has the potential to do some very special things at ISU and it will take some time to do so. But I think the way the team looked (penalties, unforced turnovers, getting hurt running into our own players) really killed that enthusiasm that much more with the hype that was built prior to Saturdays game.
We are going to go out to eat Saturday night and will go to a place with the game on. If the game is competitive will stay and watch, if not will head for home after our meal. Hope to see the team and coaches compete well. It's going to be tough to get the W. Probably more excited for the volleyball match tomorrow night.
Your problem was that you watched last weeks game twice. That will make even the biggest football fan depressed.
It's a game of pigskin, featuring the Cardinal & Gold, up against their most-hated/beloved in-state rivals, on a Saturday evening, with a beautiful forecast. I'm genuinely excited and downright stoked as always. Born in '83, the year Hayden Fry's domination over the Clones began, it took me 15 years on Earth before I could finally wear my Cyclone attire WITH bragging rights to school on a Monday morning following the Cy-Hawk game
