I have a an friend that is a big Iowa fan. I don't discuss sports with her because I know I am a poor sport and I hope they lose every week. She, on the other hand, claims to cheer for Iowa State 'except when they are playing Iowa' but makes snide Iowa State comments all of the time. Last night she posted about how great their 17-12 win against ******* Northwestern was and then said that she noticed that another team wore their colors last night.

Some are definitely trolls, but I legitimately can't imagine being as negative of a fan as a lot of the posters in gameday threads are. What is the point of being a fan if that's how you watch a game?
We got everyone's super bowl till last night. Iowa's official superbowl was PSU, our official superbowl was OSU which is why we could have really used a bye week and Rus not to be injured before and against WVU. But folks, we still have a superbowl in us, and that is hard to do this time of the year but CMC is building for the long haul of a season and we appear to not only be in decent shape health wise but we are playing a ton of depth on defense.
I honestly felt bad when I saw them put him back in.
I knew what was going to happen to him, would, indeed, happen.
Game was already over at that point, and ISU was still hitting. Hard.
Good player, nothing wrong with being second best in the conference.
Rus is going to be a really really good player. He already is but next year it’s gonna be really important for teams to know where he is.
Announcer said this while camera focused on girl holding monkey.
Yeah, I was really confused when they put him back in - he’d gone to the tent and was clearly hurting, the game was over, what on earth are you doing, trying to REALLY hurt the kid?
Yeah, either terrible mismanagement or him just demanding to go back in. I don’t know any other reason for it. I’m guessing the former, because the second time he went out he looked pretty upset that he was out there.
Is he a true sophomore? I’d imagine he’s leaving town as soon as he can.
Thankfully ISU has a capable team and the coaches (CMC, Heacock, Manning) have patience to stay the course and let things play out before totally panicking somewhere in the 2nd qtr.
Ed Harris had a quote in the movie that held so true when I played and coached that hold true with my love of the Clones. "I love chasing a win on Friday night and Saturday morning after you got one".
Best thing to do with Hawkeye fans is ignore them and be humble. Yes I am an anti fan of Iowa and Nebraska and Indiana, I root against them but rigged the game in my head so Im only happy if they lose and apathetic if they win. Before their Purdue game I was just gloating at a Hawkeye friend how great their defense was and about what an awesome year they had and BOOM! Anecdotal yes, but it worked for me.
Shout out to Blake Peterson last night. He got a lot of playing time and almost every play he was driving the tackle straight back.
