It is our rival, but I think it was fair of him to say that he prefers to treat and approach it like any other game. In the past, coaches have over emphasized the game and we'll come out the week prior and lay an egg against UNI or somebody similar. I like his even keeled approach, but wonder if 0-4 has changed his mind anyThat is one ding on CMC. Before he came along, Kirk could never say he had a winning record against ISU in 18 years of trying. I'm still pissed at CMC for saying he didn't think it was much of a rivalry.
