outside of the 2 fanbases, no one cares about the rivalry lets be real.
If ISU could schedule KSU as non-conference, would you want them to?
- Thread starter harimad
- Start date
Because we don’t stink?
Why does everyone blame JP? Two teams have to agree and we aren’t even their main rival. It’s far more likely KSU took KU as a protected rival than us. Same thing we would do if Iowa was in the Big 12.
We've lost Missouri and Nebraska as rivals. I know they're not gone completely but we onky have KSU and Iowa left that we play every year.
I just love the extra juice in the excitement leading up to those games and want to keep that thing going.

Does anyone outside of their alumni care about the Akron vs Kent State rivalry?
Why does the rest of the country need to care about OUR rivals
Well I have good news for you. You can feel the juice this year, next year, and probably 2028. It’s likely we see KSU 8-9 times every 10 years.
It’s not going away permanently.
The CyHawk isn’t going away.
The elephant in the room would put their foot down. In this case, that would be the Iowa Legislature.
Why not put them in and maintain the streak? Are you afraid we will lose to them too often?
We don't have a conference rival in football.
We maybe have a 1-way rivalry with Kansas in basketball, but that's it.
Just because someone named it doesn't mean it's real

I have never heard an Iowa State fan talk about this rivalry and its importance.
You people keep very different circles than I do.
I don’t know anyone IRL that doesn’t consider this a rivalry.

Our group hates Kansas St. Granted we’re late 20s, but it’s by far the conference game everyone looks forward to.
“Likely”? It’s demonstrated that they did.
I don’t get the chicken littling on this issue. We’re not their primary rival, and it’s likely only a one year break.
No.
Just remember the outrage when it was first released. It still pops up time to time how “the rivalry is ended” on social media. Just one man’s opinion that it’s not a big of deal as some make it out to be. Especially when you consider we aren’t even their primary rival.
- any cfb rivalry ever
I never watched a single OU vs. Texas game during their time in the B12.
My opinion would be continue it every year or just play them the same as any other old team. If you aren't going to respect the tradition then just blow it up and play them as much as UCF or ASU.
It's the longest continuously played game in D1 currently. yes there are others that have longer history or more games played but they all at some point took a break for a few years.
College sports have been ******* with tradition for a long time now. What’s one more change?
