This feels like a yes vote.
I voted no. Just don't feel it but think maybe a lot do.

?? Our academic profile and standing are much more similar to a Purdue, Michigan State or Penn State than KSU.I say yes.
Long history, similar schools, similar fanbases. I’d call it more of a respect rivalry than a hatred rivalry.
Sure, but we arent in the big ten. And if we were our rivals would probably be Minnesota and Wisconsin. We're both the land grant school in rural states with two major state run universities. I think that's what farminclone was getting at?? Our academic profile and standing are much more similar to a Purdue, Michigan State or Penn State than KSU.
I think it’s more a function of how frustrating the games played out than who the opponent is.Based off fan reactions after losing, yes.

I still think the marketing/branding wunderkinds are missing out on not making this a trophy game....how hard could it be? A freaking tractor tire you roll off the field would be appropriate. People mock Nebraska and Minnesota's trophy games....but I think it is really a good thing. I got a trophy for dancing once.
IMO, the hate just isn't there to be a true rivalry. We are old Big 8 foes with a close overall record and similar fan bases. To me, when one school is having success, the other one simply wonders "Why not us?"
K-State and Okie State are two easy teams to root for when the results don't affect Iowa State.
I consider KSU a rival but I've felt more hatred for Baylor and that **** they pulled last year in Ames amplified that.
but not the covering up of the rapes? They sold their soul, only to get trucked in the Cotton Bowl.
By this definition, KU is our rival because every other year we almost lose and I want to throw up.I say not a rival. I would think that you get more emotional or anxious when playing a rival. K State doesn't even move the needle for me.
