Of course Iowa-Iowa State is a rivalry, but much moreso to those guys in Ames. CMC has stated publicly that he is emulating Iowa’s program, and that beating Iowa is the program’s top goal. To say that game is CMC and Iowa State’s Super Bowl would be the understatement of the century.
So much Hokdom going on here...it's that time of year to shut off the ISR for me.
FWIW the quoted statement is a good reminder that ISU needs to do good things consistently so moron Iowa fans can maybe at least think about shutting up. They started last year by doing what no state program had ever done by beating two top 5 teams in the regular season so hopefully those things continue.
