well that is your opinion and you are, well, wrong. the MAJORITY of Iowa State fans are saying that we will hover somewhere in the 5-7 area this. very few are saying that we will be 7-5 or better...whereas pretty much year in year out when august rolls around all the hawk fans and boards seem to stop being so quiet and talk up 9, 10, or 11 wins and a BCS bowl game no matter the year or team they try to predict. And every QB they think will be a heisman candidate for them, drew tate and jake christensen? really? I don't think I heard any Iowa State fans dumb enough to say Bret Meyer was gonna be in the heisman hunt. Overall, we are just more realistic. Once we do have bowl game and big 12 championship game success, then I am sure our heads will be more inclined to be in the clouds like hawkeyes, but until then, we are the realists. Not that I wouldn't mind going to KC or Houston and BCS bowl games and drinking that cardinal and gold koolaid double fist style baby!
