So now that we've won the Cyhawk

[chadm]

This is true. The only time I hear the words Cy-Hawk is coming from an ISU event.

The Hawks could care less. Unfortunetly it's a sponsor driven series that refuses to die. It needs to die if Iowa isn't going to care. It's hard to have a rivalry when one team doesn't want the rivalry...

They don't "care" because they are getting spanked.

Someone needs to have their sense of ironic humor looked at. Unless you had it surgically removed, or something....

I was a little suprised at how many Squawkeye fans got so pissed at the billboard that they put up that year. Especially right after it had happened. You would of thought they had just gotten there birthday taken away from them. Yeah a sign of ours over there but it not like it was lying about anything.

If they can put up stuff in Des Moines, then we can put up stuff in Cedar Rapids.

2004/2005: EIU 11 ISU 8
2005/2006: ISU 13 EIU 6
2006/2007: EIU 13 ISU 8
2007/2008: ISU 16 EIU 3 (this far with 4 events left)

Seems to me which ever school has the games at home wins the series.

Iowa state won 2-1

Football Basketball

Wrestling

What does JP do to tick off the iowa fans.... I mean, what does he do to celebrate this victory?

Wonder if we can buy advertising at kinnick next fall???

Suggestions?

Hopefully the only thing that would be truly useful...win it again next year. Unless I am wrong the team with homefields in MBB and Football has won it every year Hy-Vee has scored it.

Tell the swim team, or the gymnasts, etc that it doesn't matter. Fact is it is probably more important to them as it is one of the few times they get ANY media exposure. I am tired of Iowa telling us the rivalry doesn't matter. If it doesn't matter then they are not fans of sport. Why would you not care if you lost a match/game even if it was against eastern wyoming tech? They care. And if they don't that is their problem. I sure as heck wouldn't want UNI beating us in all but 2 sports for the entire year, and maybe they could...but my excuse wouldn't be that I don't care.

About that billboard ... remember your audience. Pictures only, Hawkeyes can't read.

As far as I know, Cedar Rapids is much a part of Cyclone country as it is EIU-tech country. It just so happens to be closer to Iowa City-BIG DEAL. We have ISU fans all over the state. Iowa isn't the only fans in Cedar Rapids.

On a side note, I always think it's funny on teh public address announcer how he always mentions "The Cy-Hawk competition which is a friendly competition between Iowa State and EIU" They always stress how it is a friendly competition, when it is everything but that.

It's used to get notoriety to all the smaller revenue sports at the U's. They call it the Cy-Hawk trophy not the ISU/Iowa Football/basketball/wrestling trophy. I'm just a fan of Womens basketball, volleyball, and gymnastics as much as I am any other sport. I support them like I do any other sport at ISU becuase they are Cyclones

I have to agree, sure I would love to win everything else, but I would much rather win those three and lose the trophy than win the trophy and lose all three.
