If it doesnt matter to Iowa and Iowa fans why does their hometown paper write about it so much? Why are the ticket prices for the game such a big deal? Isnt the goal of any team to win every game?
ISU fan sat back for 15some years and had to listen to Iowa fans talk about how they beat us. Now that
ISU is winning Iowa fans cannot take the smack. Part of the reason we give so much smack to Iowa fans is because of the way they treat us now and in the past. Even after 7 of 10 every year Iowa fans say there is no way
ISU is going to beat us this year, it will be a blow out infavor of Iowa.
Now that we have the upperhand they make excuses: its our superbowl, Iowa overachieves,
ISU overacheives, Iowa doesnt get up for the game,
ISU gets up for it more than any other game, it defines
ISU's season, the game doesnt matter to Iowa and on and on. At some point they have to realize its just like any game to these players and
ISU may just be the better team, but they are slow learners so it may take anohter 10 years of
ISU winning 7 of 10 to get them to realize this.
