Haliburton would be the easy pick and probably the best one. People that follow sports outside of Iowa know who he is and he had a real shot at NBA rookie of the year.

Also, if ISU fans don't show up for it, Iowa fans will. Recruits will be watching it. Fans should put on a good show and not let it be overrun by Hawk fans. It's coming whether you like it or not. The people coming from ESPN have nothing to do with conference realignment; moreover, ESPN's single biggest Cyclone backer will be there in Chris Fallica. I realize people are pissed about everything that's gone on. The more beneficial thing for us to put on a good show.

I couldn't even tell you who the Rookie of the Year was, so I'm going to guess most of America has no idea who the backup is.

If that adds gas to the fire, it's because hawk fans are the ones who will be adding the gas. Iowa State will be in no way responsible for that

And we may also be at that point. I hate the Iowa fan base and realistically will for the rest of my life. I don't hate the university or players or coaches, but there are enough ******** in that fanbase that it almost impossible for me to cheer for them. At most, I want Iowa to win one football game per season for the rest of time.

Respectfully, I disagree with some of your take. JP has made it a point to "poke" Iowa from day one. It is not a reach for Hawk fans to see wearing the all black unis this week would be intended to incite and fuel the rivalry even further.

The rivalry is already "stoked" to levels I have never seen in over 50 years of living. An already emotional week, combined with other societal factors, will not take much to create a truly hostile environment. I don't mean hostile the way we usually use it with sports. I mean hostile as in potentially violent. Anything, not just uniform choices, can push it over the edge.

Good. **** them. I don’t give two ***** about them. If the players and Campbell (you know, the people that actually decide it) determine they want to wear all black just because they know the little piss babies in Iowa City will cry and piss themselves about it, more power to them. **** the Hawkeyes.

OK, I can tell you don't go to the games - you just follow the fringe fans on social media.
The "environment" in and around JTS in 2019 was simply great. Both sides gathered, bantered at tailgates and it was anything but "hostile."

Yes, JP has always been fairly brash towards Iowa, which for a civilized person would never be more than sports related trash talk.
On the other hand, after the locker room break in and bandgate fiascos, it’s clear your AD is inflammatory and/or moronic. He should stick with helping your coach cover up sexual assault.
And as a kid I was an Iowa fan and went to a fair amount of games at Kinnick. The fan base has WAY too many Raider fan wannabe trash. Throwing **** like mad dog bottles at the opposing sidelines was a common occurrence that got lots of high fives.

I disagree that it isn't a reach. Yes, JP has occassionally trolled, but that's also because Iowa State has for decades been treated as second class citizens in this state by the media and Iowa fans.

However, getting upset about the uniform thing is pathetic and just shows the sense of entitlement that those fans have. They don't own the color black. It's not theirs and Iowa State isn't copying them or trolling them by wearing those uniforms. It's because they are alternates and look cool. It has nothing to do with Iowa.

And to those Iowa fans that get upset with Iowa State wearing black uniforms, I would just say that they need to grow the **** up and realize that not everything is about them. And to the rest of the ******* Iowa fans (who I am differentiating from the Iowa fanbase as a whole), I would say that if they do not want me to view them with utter contempt, then it is on them to act better.

At this point I would be disappointed if we didn’t wear the all blacks.

Why do you give some Hawk fans so much power over you? You are so inconsistent. Why does this mentality not follow you to the idea that "if you don't like the arrogance of hawk fans, then shut them up by beating them." I imagine KF will have this mentality with his team. If you don't like it, then beat them.

The attitude you express on your posts is just fodder for Hawk fans to claim 'lil brother'. I am signing off for the week. Best of luck to both teams! I hope everyone can enjoy the week rather than let it fuel anger.

I hope the guest is someone that knows who Iowa State is. Also, you know the others, except possibly Coach, will pick the Hawks,

YOU GUYS CANT WEAR ALL BLACK BECAUSE US IOWA FANS MIGHT GET OUR FEE FEES HURT! WE’RE THE ONLY TEAM IN THE COUNTRY THAT GETS TO WEAR BLACK!

******* piss babies. The whole lot of them. Might make it more “hostile” because we wear black. **** off you little whine *****. Go do the gator chomp while jerking it to pictures of Hayden Fry’s turkey neck. **** the Hawks. Get bent.
