*** Official IOWA STATE vs #3 Iowa Game(Day) Thread ***

[Tornado man]

So I have a co-worker triggered already this morning. When he (hawk fan) brought up the game, I called it an exhibition game in a season that doesn't matter because of Covid. Basically the same thing he said when we beat Oklahoma earlier in the year. He is apparently taking this season very seriously. It's "completely different than football"

Good god - it's no exhibition. It's the annual game against our hated in-state rival. A game that Orr, Floyd, Eustachy, Hoiberg, Niang, etc. wanted badly to win.
I'm expecting nothing less than every Cyclone player laying it all out there, especially after last year's embarrassment at Hilton. You know, revenge? Anger?

F*ck Kirkwood

This joke couldn’t have hit (again) at a better time. A few different families I know are in fights at the present time for their kid moving to IC this fall to begin college, dropping out mid-semester and enrolling in Kirkwood, and never telling their parents (who were still sending checks for UofI).

You obviously never lived the football games in the mid '80s then. The best thing about those games was the student tailgating in lots A1, A2, B3 and B4 lots. The Keg Truck, beer bongs, cattle tanks with kegs etc..... You had to ease the pain somehow.

At least I can watch "Gold Rush" for a couple hours......

I'm not saying it wasn't bad in the 80s for football (although it wasn't that far removed from ISU from 2006-2016 by results with three 6-5 records from '80-89, just no bowls).

I'm saying basketball right now has about as much hope of being good as football in 2014.

The football was really bad back then. Back then, you had to drink heavily before going into a game as that was the only thing that made you feel good about the game. We would make a couple of jugs of whatever we had left and name each of them before going to the student lots. The game was an afterthought, it was the tailgating that got us through those dark days back then.

Of course they badly want to win it. Whether their best effort makes any difference is the question.

Revenge? Only 3 guys playing in this game were on the team last year.

Was it different from 2006-2015?

The 90s were even worse than the 80s with exception to the Davises.

This would a first for a Steve Prohm coached team, his teams are soft. It's been about 4 years since one of his teams took a punch and did anything but fold.

Sadly we dont have any of those killers, cyclone basketball has felt very disconnected. Iowa is going to make a statement this game sadly.

I get it, but today was about throwing his comments about football not mattering back at him. There's certain iowa fans that I'm not going to let have the satisfaction of gloating for a successful team.

Well I can't argue that - you got me.

Point taken. Yes, I had Hawk friends who "wrote" the season off after their first two losses - and now they "back."
