You have to CONSISTENTLY earn it by beating teams you should and hanging around with teams you shouldn't. Iowa State has done neither of those two things. This I agree with. Should have led with this.

So you're saying Iowa wasn't a good team last year?
Hilton Coliseum was specifically built to hold in sound with a solid concrete structure, steel doors, and a crowd that sits just a few feet from the court. With a fan base that frequently ranks among the nations largest crowds, players from opposing teams, as well as Iowa State, have said that the floor has shaken due to the loudness of the crowd -

Take that theory and apply it to your posting. You have to earn it.

Which has absolutely nothing to do with whether we should be favored over Tulsa or not.
This year's ISU team is playing this season's Tulsa team. It has absolutely nothing to do with the past, which is where you get lost.

JB and SJ were two of the worst QB's statistically last year in all of college football. Not much to brag about there... sorry.

So you think past results have nothing to do with the betting line for the Iowa State/Tulsa game? I disagree.  Originally Posted by ty4cy90 So you're saying Iowa wasn't a good team last year? Yes

Any year Iowa loses one of their superbowls, they automatically suck. (used for arguments with rival fans)

Why are you here honestly? Most Hawk losers say they dont care about Iowa State but there are a lot of posts over on The Hawknation that say otherwise, you take it a step further and come to an ISU board to constantly make yourself look like a jerk off. Go away.

Another thing your name suggests you are High School kid or a 35 year old former water boy living the dream 2 miles from where you were born thinking the world drops off 2 miles outside Waverly. Either way you are a loser.
