- Thread starter UNIGuy4Cy

Fear:
1. an unpleasant emotion caused by the belief that someone or something is dangerous, likely to cause pain, or threat.

[FONT=arial, sans-serif-light, sans-serif]3. be afraid of (someone or something) as likely to be dangerous, painful, or threatening
George Maybin is a scared and confused young man. I'm certain he will not feel this way 2:30 Saturday.[/FONT]

Bob Sanders said that losing to ISU was the worst feeling of his life. If it meant that much to him.......then what some blowhard who wouldn't know football from foot fungus might think means absolutely ****.
It is not that hard to understand. The Hawkeyes are not our "superbowl" but they almost always are a "must win". The reason that they are a "must win" is because they are almost always one of the worst teams on our schedule.
A below average defensive back who has been listening to the ISU fight song on repeat all week
Does anyone remember when there were pictures in the paper of an Iowa player looking at clippings from previous CyHawk games that were plastered around the Iowa facility? The coaches put them up for game prep.
"Your team tries harder to win than we do." Which is funny (sad?) when the series is split over the last 20 years. The main reason Hawks go to the SuperBowl comment is because we go on and win 2-3 more games while they go on and win 6-7 more games. In my mind, this speaks more to level of competition than it does interest. When you play 20 times and split, programs are comparable. Results come down to competition.
Plays fight song during practice all week. Hangs up football posters and newspapers clippings, but nope, we only care about the game.
So if ISU wins its because they were just more fired up to play in the game than Iowa was? But if Iowa wins its because Iowa took the game seriously and pretended it was some conference game? its this type of inferiority complex by Iowa fans and their media that drive ISU fans to hate Iowa. Ever notice if Iowa beats ISU the vast majority of ISU fans readily admit Iowa played the better game and had the Better team that day but if ISU wins its because our players drank some Doyle super juice prior to kickoff.
It's arrogance, delusion and veiled insecurity, basic staples of tavernhok logic.
If they win, it's because "they have the better program and it was never in doubt."
Lose, and it's only because they couldn't possibly overcome a team that had to say to hell with the rest of the schedule just to have even the smallest chance to beat the Fighting Fry's. Also the university had to sink the entire athletic budget into one game plan for one non-conference game in the second week of the season because the prestige of beating Iowa is like winning 10 games anyways. Everyone knows Iowa is an Alabama-type national juggernaut so we don't even need any more wins if we beat them so why even play the other games. Also the SEZ was bowled in just so Jack Trice could accommodate the masses of fans that attend their games every other year.

Ill say that schedule is a huge reason why ISU doesn't pile up as many wins as Iowa, but another reason is depth. Iowa is almost always a deeper team. But that doesn't play as big of a role early in the season.
The main reason why ISU beats Iowa routinely is that their coaches are stubborn and predictable. Has nothing to do with super bowl.
loved Sanders, but he perfected targeting as an art form (turned his shoulder into an opponent's sternum) plus he horse-collared players. He also missiled-in under the chinstrap, taking out three Big 10 QB's in one season
All his stuff is now illegal
In the famous 2002 game, Iowa fans pledged that Sanders would take out Seneca Wallace
Anyone who was there or watches the replay, ISU's Hiawatha Rutland ran over Sanders. Bob was then seen on the Iowa bench WEEPING on national TV.......as noted from sideline reporter Michelle Tafoya of ABC.
who's Superbowl is this again?
