Man you ISU fans are seriously delusional. To try to say you're not worried about a top-25 is beyond ********. You are not fooling anyone, trust me.

I knew the only reason why ISU lost to Iowa last year was because of b-a-d l-u-c-k.
B-a-d l-u-c-k is the only way ISU ever loses ball games. It' not because the other team was better, but because ISU has much b-a-d l-u-c-k.
Yep, b-a-d l-u-c-k is the only reason why ISU loses.
Oh wait, Iowa fans named Iowa Guy are the only ones who uses a stupid excuse like this one.
You are bragging about going 2-10??? LMAO!!!!! This just keeps getting better!
And for someone to tell people to act their age after name-calling like a 7 year old? You're not a hypocrite at all, are you?

You obviously don't read the posts on here, do you? Almost every ISU fan I have talked to has claimed bad luck for last year's lost. LOL
It wasn't bragging. You're the one bragging about beating us handily when we had a terrible year. Oh I can be hyporcitical but I admit it. Are you really complaining about getting called out? You're a hawkeye fan on a cyclone board, its comes with the territory. Maybe if you weren't such an arrogant ***** we could have a good debate like the first 7/8 pages of this thread. And last time I check teenage girls still use "LMAO".
Ugh. It just had to make it off of the Instate Rivals Board, didn't it? :err:
Link one of those posts if you can find it.
Just to clarify, 99.9 percent the Clone fans on here point to poor coaching by Chiz as the reason why we lost that game. The only thing bad luck had to do in that game was Chiz and his assistants were standing on ISU side of the field, not on Iowa's
That and a bogus helmet-to-helmet call that gave Iowa excellent field position to score it's one and only (offensive) touchdown.
I think Iowaguy is confusing the statement "we don't fear the hawks" as meaning ISU fans think it will be an easy win.
Not one sane ISU fan thinks Iowa will be an easy win, but you'd have to be crazy to expect that Iowa will blow out the Clones as many Tavernhawks still do. I think both sides realize this series isn't like it was in the 80's and 90's.

The dagger to the heart was the 80+ yard Brodell punt return TD. Damn that was a frustrating game to attend! The offense storms up and down the field but can't get it in the endzone. The defense plays well for most of the day but incurs some untimely penalties. One massive breakdown on punt coverage. Unfortunately, that's only one frustrating game of many in the past five years...
Wasn't there a block in the back and a clip on the play that the officials didn't call?
Oops! I forgot this:
It was frustrating to watch on TV, so I can only imagine it was excrutiating to see it in person.
Years ago when Iowa was going through its nearly two decade win streak over ISU, I do think Iowa players had that air of confidence that ISU players didn't have. I credit Fry for giving the players that confidence.
Now, I think ISU players have that same kind of confidence as the Iowa players that they can win the game.
I'm not good at the Xs and Os like many of you on here, but I think the confidence angle is one of the intangibles where Iowa used to have the edge, but not anymore.
I'll see your post and raise you a thread - and a long one at that. The whole thing is full of wouldas, shouldas, and couldas, with a healthy sprinkling of blaming the officiating, which is obviously a drum that you're still beating.

Uh, i was being just a tiny bit sarcastic with the "bogus helmet-to-helmet" comment. Forgot the pirate, that's all. I'm not beating any kind of drum.
And that Cyclone thread was probably NOTHING like a Hawkeye Nation thread after ISU won in 2007. How about being a sport and finding that one and link it here?
And geesh, I just read that thread. Two thirds of it is you and other Hawk fans arguing about whether Penn State was overrated and other things that didn't have anything to do with last year's game. And I would guess that a good 25 percent of the posts in that thread were your posts.
Really, couldn't you find a better example to make your point?
Once again, the only "excuse" I will use for Iowa State in last year's game was poor coaching by Chiz. The game was pretty close. Iowa won. Game over. Lights out. See you this year.
IowaGuy -
How much do you actually pay attention to Iowa football? Just this past year, Iowa frequently ran packages with extra DBs. They'd sub-out a starting safety (Sash, if I recall correctly) and put in Prater and Morrow.
However, you and egami are definitely correct ... Iowa invariably prefers to just drop the LBs into coverage rather than change personnel packages all the time.
