Wondering if you remember this incident from a few years ago? This is a small school in the NW corner of our state (even closer to Norway!)

It's all pretty tame stuff once you dig in. "La Affair de Willie Lyles" was largely overblown since many schools were also using "scouting services," we just got busted for paying with a check when we thought it was above-board. It was born out of the failures of Texas to keep recruits in state more than anything else.
The NCAA has come down on us for making comic books for crying out loud. We're not out paying players and covering up sex abuse. I think the worst of it frankly was when JJ Arrington and our RB Coach Gary Campbell had a LOI infraction with Arrington's parents.
Duck07 ----- take it easy man..
This is one of our best seasons ever, probably best ever. If we play our normal schedule this year, we end up with 10 wins. Never been done before at ISU. We would like to get to where your program currently stands - multiple B6 bowls, 10 win seasons, consistent top 25 rankings, etc..
I assume you were just joking trying if you think ISU fans think our overall program compares to Oklahoma. We know it doesn't. However, we are competitive with them now - and feel we can be competitive with most.
I think you are right about the WV thing. When I first read that, I thought it was a negative towards Oregon. Maybe it's related to us just having recently beat WV 45-0. WV has been pretty solid generally speaking in the BigXII, if I were to want compared to a team (Oregon or WV), I would want compared to Oregon.
We're mostly humble fans that are generally pretty intelligent about the game (broadly speaking), and we much prefer the football strategy talk to the "all time program quality" put-down talk, etc..
For a School that can use the image and likeness of Donald Duck due to handshake agreement we should know better than most that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.
I'm good, it just felt like it was time to haul a can of paint to the top of the water tower for a moment with a few of the comments.
Cool.. thanks. I hear you with the commenters...
I can also probably picture an (understandable) general "uggh Iowa State - what's the fun in that" initial reaction at the Bowl announcement, but our team is vastly different from the normal national perception. My hope now is that it translates into recruiting and/or we keep the staff and culture in place to keep things moving forward.
I remember seeing a stat that your team has around (45) 4* and 5* players, and we have (4) total I think. That just seems so crazy to me.
For me, this will be a nervous but hopefully fun game...
This. Idk a lot about UO other than they have had a couple of national championship caliber teams and I view WV just a couple notches above Baylor’s rotten ass
Can you change your thread title to Dis the Ducks?
Maybe add a poll of favorite animals, making sure to include beavers, huskies and ducks?
I've read the thread title as Dissing the Ducks multiple times already. Great minds
I think the biggest thing was simply about ending up on ESPN and not Fox for promotional purposes. When it comes to recruiting advantages, whenever you play a bowl game your opponent is always the greatest team ever so that when you win it looks good and if you lose it was only to the greatest team ever. Mario and staff know how to present that image to recruits so we wouldn't want to rag on your program for those very same reasons.
That tweet I found awfully telling about how our recruiting has changed with Mario. USC is the only other school out West whose "floor" is close to ours.
Any other animals to add? Clearly beavers will win though. Who does love a good Beav once in a while
Man, since the Duck fans have such a low opinion of WVU, that can't bode well for what they think of us.
It'd be pretty bad if you lost to us with our worst starting QB1 of this millennium. We're undefeated if we get even Jason Fife level performance.
From what I’ve seen on their board that’s not a pay to play one, they don’t really have an opinion because they don’t know anything about us.
