Just means Konrardy will have to wait later in the evening to break the Hawks' spirits for a third game in a row!!!
ISU RELEASE: 2026 Cy-Hawk game will kick at 6:30 and be broadcast on NBC
- Thread starter The Rob Gray
- Start date
Agreed. Its dumb to not schedule those at night when it would have cooled off, and also gives a great tailgating day.
I’m not worried.
We have the better QB and Coach.

I like it. We will have a great neighborhood tailgate with the 6:30 kickoff.
Can someone explain why EIU is being thought of so highly this year? They lost their QB, their best two OL men, a couple of receivers, their difference making punt and kick returner. On defense they lost most of their front four, and a couple DBs.
So they return their running backs, and LBers, will have to find a QB and neither has proven anything in college, but they are supposed to be a 9 to 10 win team?

How broken will the Hoks be if we beat them on a field goal again?
Smash those pompous ******** in the face at night instead of the day. Sounds good to me!

Have we ever had a coach beat Iowa in year 1? If not, good time for that to happen.
A night game in Kinnick sounds awesome but I'm still nervous about our team this year. I have no idea what to expect.

Night game in puke town. Good reason to miss my first game in that cesspool in a very long time!
I agree. Probably because they only have 3-3.5 games with much difficulty, and they've had a good track record of reloading & being slightly above average. I would love for them to have a 4-5 win season, though.

This year is about establishing an identity and showing potential. I think people will be a lot happier if they go into it with a realistic mindset.
Agree with your first sentence, disagree with the 2nd (at least when replying to someone assuming we'll be 'curbstomped' by anyone). Especially Iowa, who lost nearly as much as we did & has had a terrible offense for the past decade. If THAT is realistic, I'd rather not even follow the team than just accept we stand no chance. I'd rather have a little optimism that we can compete rather than expect blowouts every week.

I was mostly ignoring the curb stomp portion of that post with my thought, though I think it is a stretch to say that Iowa lost nearly as much. They still have the same coaching staff and a lot of players who have been in their system, and we can't say that.
I expect us to be competitive in most games, but I also expect that there will be games where the fact that everyone is learning the system and trying to gel gets exposed a bit.
last time I went to an ISU Howk night game it went pretty well late.
Seneca Wallace led Iowa State University to a legendary 36-31 comeback victory over Iowa on September 14, 2002. Trailing 24-7 at halftime, the Cyclones rattled off 29 unanswered points in Kinnick Stadium, dealing the eventual Orange Bowl-bound Hawkeyes their only regular-season loss.
When I said how bout them hawkeyes at the post game party 65 year old friend of mines dad took a swing missed fell down hit his head on the counter knocked himself out.

I'm going in expecting 4-5 wins and anything on top of that I think will be a good foundation season. More so than W's & L's I'm more interested in seeing this defensive scheme (hopefully it's aggressive) and on offense Roehl keeps talking about "physicality". I want to actually see that on the field and not just hearing that word over and over again every time he talks.
As awesome as that would be, please no, I'm getting older now, not sure my heart can take it. Let's wrap it up in the 3rd!
