that the ISU/Iowa game does not benefit Iowa and is a lose-lose situation for them? Except for the two year under Chizik (and we won one of those games), and the years under Walden, this has been a great rivalry in football. I am sick of hearing it, I think ISU helped them last year to the Orange Bowl since they beat us 35-3 and we went to a bowl game. I think they hurt us during the last few years of Fry and first few years under Ferentz as they were terrrible. I am not saying we have been outstanding since the McCarney years, but neither has Iowa, in fact there were several years between 1995 and the present that we have been the better team. We go 11-1 next year and they go .500, and "this rivalry does nothing for ISU."

I, for one, love hearing from hawk fans on all matter of things. I think we should all consider ourselves very lucky over here on CF that we have hawk fans that care enough to come onto this cyclone website and hang around just looking for issues into which they can insert their superior knowledge. In fact, I'm hoping to start consulting hawkeyes on almost everything in my life so that I know the correct answer. Answers to questions such as:

--what should I eat for breakfast?
--do these pants make me look fat?
--was there really a 2nd gunman on the grassy knoll?
--do you have to have a permit to live in that van down by the river?

It is a stupid arguement. A win or loss against a Big 12 opponent is 100% better than a win or loss over say, UNI or Arkansas State. Many hok fans just like to try and discredit ISU in any way, shape or form. It's a dumb arguement that only they (that fanbase) agree with.
