U of I attempts new slap in the face

[HandSanitizer]

This is getting annoying.....Now I have had 2 UNI fans tell me they are about ready to show who the best team in the state is. I told them you can't compare scores. Not how it works. and then I told them at least you will be happy either way because you root for both.

If UNI fans beat the Hoks, will UNI fans be happy or sad?

My wife (UNI alum who keeps raising our donation to Cyclone Club) will be very happy when the Panthers take down the hawks.

Could start a new thread, but it was not worth one. Thought this was funny that this info was posted:

Saturday Football Arrests: Iowa versus Iowa State Week - Iowa City, IA Patch

Rollenhagen, Erin Shawn, 42 of Waukee, IA for Public Intox at Kinnick at 1807 hours. Rollenhagen was being carried on a friend’s back & she vomited. Rollenhagen blew .212 PBT.

Not gonna lie, i'm glad we don't have to play uni this year. i respect the hell out of that program and any fan (iowa or isu) who does not is a fool. they have given isu AND iowa fits over the past decade. they are always my worst fear in nonconference because they are generally a good team and they seem to bring their "A" game every time. I can't say that about the hawks.

You are better than this, Wes.

As an ISU fan, do you want the score to be IOWA 35-UNI 0 or reversed?

Better question is what does a UNI fan want to happen?

^^^UNI fan claims publicly to be rooting for UNI while secretly rooting for the Squawks.

I had a Hawk fan try to tell me that they may have lost, but at least they'll still get 8 wins and play in the Big 10. He then went on to rationalize how both the Big 10 and the Pac 12 were better football conferences than the Big 12....Unbelievable

In 2009 they were crowning UNI champions after it took a miracle to beat them. UNI went on to finish 3rd in their conference losing to Illinois State, SDS, Southern IL.

Two things we do know after week 2.
1.Northern IL defense is not quite as good Hawk fans claim.
2. UNI hanging with Wiskey not as impressive as we all thought.

I think both teams struggle to score early as Iowa's D is legit and Iowa's offense is not. In 2nd half Iowa takes over on pure size and talent. Iowa wins by 10 going away. 10-20

Group of Iowa fans drive to Austin, TX on Sunday to locate owners of www.firegregdavis.com and make offer to buy rights.

anytime a hok fan is in an arguement about how they are the third best team in the state is ok by me.

 

[scyclonekid]

Did you guys hear that Iowa City and the surrounding area is not longer in a drought? Its because of all the Iowa fans tears they have been crying. Eat **** Hawks!!

So the one I kept hearing all weekend (from hawk fans) is how UNI is now the best football team in the state. Can't help but feel that this is supposed to be a thinly veiled attempt to try and knock us down a few pegs...... it will never be substantiated, because we won't play them this year. I guess that makes the hawks the worst team in the state, but we already knew that. So either the hawks can beat UNI, prove themselves wrong, and put us at the top by default. Or loose to UNI, prove they(the hawks) are the worst team in the state, and NOT prove that UNI is the best team in the state. Way to paint yourselves into a corner!

I think in terms of success UNI has had at the level of competition they play, absolutely they are the best football team in the state. Are they they most talented team in the state? Absolutely not. However, I think they have proven throughout the past few years that they don't care and they will go toe to toe with the big boys and throw a few punches.

That's funny. If you had seen the size difference between the two teams, speed difference, and felt the magnitude of the crowd, you would have different opinions. I think this statement should read: Wisconsin may not be as impressive as everyone thought. To take anything away from UNI for going into Camp Randall and walking out of there within in a touchdown is idiotic.

Sounds to me like he was saying that they nearly beat a BCS conference team but not necessarily one that deserved to be ranked, hence not as big of an accomplishment as previously thought. You said yourself Wisky isn't as great as everyone thought. If they were legitimately a top 15 or top 10 team that makes UNI's performance nearly off the charts. Well, not the case so just a great performance, not off the charts.

Successful and best is not the same thing.

I'll say it agan. Why should I care what any UI fan thinks?

Why do you care? Stop fueling the fire.

Their little slaps have stopped annoying me so much. We have gone 9-6 in FB recently including the last 2. We have won 3 in a row in MBB and have probably had the better of them or at least held our own in the last 20 years in that sport.

We just have to keep beating them and they will realize that we are no longer the little brother ala the 80's in football and 70's in MBB.

 

[MeanDean]

What is this "UNI" of which you speak? Do you mean Purple Hawkeyes?
