Do any other fanbases/players hate Iowa State?

Well lately, ISU has been getting wins out of the rivalry...



Since as ISU plays in one of the premier FB conferences in the country, ISU schedules home-and-home with a number of quality BCS opponents. And some of them actually win their bowl games...

Carry on though!! It's been awhile since a Hawk fan got on here and displayed the complete and utter arrogance that we have come to know and love. I was beginning to think that maybe Hawkeye nations was changing...

ISU doesn't schedule conference opponents (ie: they don't get to pick who they get to play) so your point is...pointless.

Yeah, because Iowa is the team that has something to gain by winning that game.

All Iowa gets for a W is a notch in the win column and a stupid little trophy.

What does ISU get out of this rivalry? Here's the list:

- In most years, national coverage for an upset if they win. You get the chance to beat a top 25 team in many years.

- In state recruiting help. Iowa totally owns the state, you have to beat Iowa in order to start getting those recruits.

- The ability to ALWAYS have nothing to lose. You can't under achieve when you are always expected to lose.

- More $$$ than Iowa gets out of the rivalry. Kinnick seats more than JTS, ISU gets more $$$ travelling to Kinnick than Iowa does for travelling to Jack Trice.

- A quality home and home with a BCS opponent, something ISU couldn't schedule without Iowa.

- A way to actually sell more season tickets, don't try and deny this is the hottest ticket ISU has all season.

There is a reason this game is the super bowl for ISU, see the list above. Iowa has a lot more to lose than gain in this rivalry, and it isn't really even debateable.

That said, I am a fan of the rivalry and want it to continue, but don't pretend like this should be "Iowa's superbowl", when it is quite obvious it is the other way around.

Last time I checked we have a home and home scheduled with Utah and UConn over the next couple years, I would say they are pretty good....

I doubt anyone hates Iowa State (except maybe Auburn football fans)

Correction... They don't hate us yet. It won't take them long to figure out that it wasn't the ISU players that were dragging Chizdick down.

UNI???? Good lord that's sad.

That UNI fans showed up more than Iowa fans? yeah, that is.

It should also be noted that both of these teams mentioned will never show up on Iowa's schedule.

The assertion that ISU would have problems scheduling a non conference game against a BCS conference team is ridiculous. Once again another hawk fan with an over blown ego and not much in the few inches between the ears.

That UNI fans showed up more than Iowa fans? yeah, that is.

Probably a little easier for UNI fans to get tickets than Iowa fans and I'm guessing it was before JP made it impossible for Iowa to buy just that game. But whatever works.

He was talking about non-conference games. The last non-conference BCS team ISU played not named Iowa was Florida St. in 2002.

Utah isn't in a BCS conference.

Cut the ticket prices by about 40 bucks and see how many Iowa fans show up...you're not comparing apples to apples here.


If ISU wanted to break attendance records with the Iowa game they could. They'd prefer to make money however.

Utah isn't in a BCS conference.

UCONN is.

By the way, this is a good point and a good reason why what the hawk fan said was ridiculous. Because ISU hasn't scheduled quality opponents outside of Iowa recently, doesn't mean that they can't.

[Cyclonestate78]

UCONN is.

I wonder when the drumbeat of "Utah isn't a quality team" will start with the trolls?

Hell no they won't......they only schedule cream puffs like Western Michigan......wait.....crap..........they're not a bcs school...........wait............crap............they still lost to them.

Except that UConn is on our schedule in 2013-14.

That's a pretty good burn, but it was ruined by that little fact.
