    more like pissed in their collective pants in the face of darth vaders

    Is this really a possibility for a helmet this weekend?

    anybody else see the resemblance to fearsome darth vader uniform? only difference is the black underwear armor piece will be on the inside instead of outside.

    Iowa excuses if/when they lose

    Trap game, looking ahead to Kent State.

    Iowa will be the best team ISU has faced since the Notre Dame, in the CWB.

    Iowa fans are on a high because they to their own surprise whipped Indiana. lost in the final score is the fact that indiana had the worst offensive line in the big 10 and 5th worst in all of cfb when measured in terms of qb hurries and rush yards metrics. So that’s the backdrop for last week’s...

    WR Brody Brecht: ISU vs Iowa

    A surefire high-level prospect like Fidone or Boller is very different than mid level guys (like most of the in-state guys Iowa has). When it's all said and done if Iowa ends up with a much bigger chunk of the class (than usual) populated by in staters, the resulting mono culture is bound to...

    WR Brody Brecht: ISU vs Iowa

    Seems like Iowa resonates well with Brecht types more so than with minority receivers. I don’t mean that in a bad way. Campbell will find another Butler clone, WR has never been the position that isu has lacked.

    Turnover Troubles

    Most of the focus in the article and thread appears to be on the ISU D not generating TOs / snagging the INTs but the fact is that the defense did its job holding Iowa to just 18 points considering how many times the Hawks visited the red zone. The vaunted Purdy led O delivered a couple brief Os...

    What was the biggest game in ISU's history

    The 1998 game against Iowa certainly wasn't the biggest game in isu history going in but looking back from today's vantage it just might qualify. That win marked the beginning of isu's inexorable climb to the point where cmc has arrived.

    So... How Will the Game go?

    I don't believe Iowa has even one draftable TE this year.

    We are Unranked now

    You are in the minority apparently coz for some bizarre reason the consensus (I’m going by responses in other threads) is that cmc should treat this like an ordinary outing and grind it out.

    Is Iowa's QB play really much improved?

    Iowa fans are over the top about Nathan Stanley's performance in their recent game. Granted he did what he had to do, but I believe the Hawkeyes are getting carried away. 70% completion rate at home against a mac team is merely making par when the OL was feasting on a overmatched DL and he had...

    Iowa arrogance

    Little doubt in my mind that Iowa fans will write off upcoming ISU improvements to superbowlitis but the joke will be on them. This game was the worst thing possible for Iowa. ISU played against a tough opponent, showed excellent nerves down the stretch, and CMC got everything he needs to...
