a _______-around

If you're saying going from 3-4 bad years to a bowl game is the same as going from 20+ bad years to a bowl game, than you may be even dumber than the average Hawk...

Because Iowa Football players can't go 2 weeks without giving him the chance...

I do? Hmmm...news to me...

I'm joining your company Monty!

You're a typical Iowa fan. Ignore the problem and all is fine.

Now back to the topic at hand. I'm taking Mangino as long as we quit coming out of the Jacobson Building. The steps down to the field aren't rated for 3 tons.

Yes and if you would take Mangino over Ferentz you must be more dumb than the average Cyclone fan.

I gotta hear your reasoning behind this please.

Oh, and for the record, Mangino OWNS Iowa State...Ferentz might be the only coach in history we have a winning record against.

Well, being as most Cyclones fan have thus far picked Mangino, it would show my intelligence to be, if anything, on par w/the average Cyclone fan.

Congrats on attempting to point out my stupidity, while only pointing your own out in the process. Do you know what "irony" means?

It also didn't help that ISU fans ridiculed any Iowa fan who expected the team to win 8 games. After all, Iowa had no running back, a sieve of an o-line, and a horrible QB.

Meanwhile, there was more than one ISU fan predicting 7 wins.

Now I know how it feels to have a thread hijacked.

They must have over-estimated the Big 10...

That's gotta sting.

Iowa had no proven running back. No one knew how good Greene was going to be. Christensen, the starting QB all of the previous year, does suck, as most Hawk fans either A) admit or B) publicly demonstrated by booing him.

I predicted 5 wins for ISU, and I think that was pretty standard.

No it doesn't sting at all. I would rather win 9 games every year than beat Iowa State. In all honesty I wish we would have dropped the game because it is a lose lose situation for Iowa.
