Wow...this thread is interesting. As a football coach myself, you are going to give credit to the other team (just as Farley did...see ACTUAL quotes above). You are also going to look at the POSITIVES of your own football team. He isn't going to come out and say, "we shouldn't have even drove down there" or "we are going to simply fold the rest of the season". Give me a break guys.
As for 1A transfers....I would LOVE to see that list of players. Could you please gather that information? UNI does well EVERY year with players from Iowa. Typically, that is our entire roster. UNI competes with all 1A teams they play with. They don't always win, but they usually put up a pretty good fight. Ask your own team. UNI has only won 3 times against ISU since 1992, but for as much s*it that is being spoken in this thread, we should never compete against you.
For those ISU fans who are normal, I am sorry.
You can bash on UNI all you want, but don't forget that ISU is a below-average to average FBS team. Don't forget that. They always have been, and I doubt Rhoads is going to do a whole lot to change that.
