Cy-hawk series

[jaretac]

Does any care about the Cy-hawk series? We all make a big deal about the ISU/Iowa match ups, but do we care about the series as a whole or do we just like some of the match-ups?

We can lose all the big match-ups (Wrestling, MBB, WBB) and still win the series this year. So the question is, would you whether win in the popular three and lose in the series; or would you whether win the series no matter how we do it, even if it means losing in the popular three?

FYI- the very last event (Softball) may decide who wins this year's series.

I personally only really care about football, MBB, WBB, and wrestling. In that order for this series. Other than that it's just another way to say we beat Iowa in something.

If we won football and basketball I wouldn't care about any of the others.

 

[Cardinal&Gold11]

The only big ones to me are football and basketball and wrestling. If we won those then i would be happy

Like any other school we play, I don't care if it is intramural Chinese Checkers or Co-ed thumb wrestling, I want to win!!!! So we have the Hy-Vee Cy-Hawk, let's kick their butt in anything and everything.

I think it is an important contest, as long as we win.

If we don't win, it is really a meaningless contest that no one cares about.

Like a playoff series, it doesn't start until the road team wins. The winner has always gone to the home football, basketball (both) school. It would be cool to win in an "off" year but until it happens it's pretty predictable. I like our basketball teams' chances.

Only in the mannaer that if we win that it means we probably beat Iowa in at least one or two of the major events. (FB, MBB or Wrestling) Also, the way I look at it is the better we are in the "other sports" the less of a financial drag they will be on the "major sports". For example: I love the fact that our WBB has great attendance. That means they need less subsidy from the overall athletic budget. That means more $$$ for FB and MBB!!!

Really just care about the big sports. Didn't we get a win in Cross Country or something at an invitational in a different state vs. beating Iowa head to head? I just think that takes some of the direct competition out of the Cy-Hawk trophy if we don't beat them head to head, but due to scoring better.

 

[Jonecy]

It doesn't matter what sport it is - I'm pretty happy if we beat the Hawks. I may not care as much if we lose to them in swimming & diving versus FB or BB, but I still care.

I'd don't care about this series at all. I care about football, men's b-ball and wrestling. Give me the real Cy-Hawk trophy - the ugly one.

We just split with them in cross-country last weekend. Our men finished ahead of theirs, but their women finished ahead of ours (but that will change next year!).

Does Iowa get automatic points for things like baseball and men's swimming?

Does ISU get points for fewest court dates?

Does Iowa get automatic points for things like baseball and men's swimming?

I don't know, does ISU get automatic points for keeping its athletes out of jail?

 

[jaretac]

Does Iowa get automatic points for things like baseball and men's swimming?

No, but each school gets 2 extra points if their student athletes GPA is above national average- which caters more toward ISU.

Does it really? I don't really know where to look for numbers, but it'd be interesting to see where we rank against other schools
