I was told the same thing this morning. My answer is even if the Panthers beat EIU by 50 the only thing that proves is that Iowa is lucky that they don't play Drake this year.
If UNI fans beat the Hoks, will UNI fans be happy or sad?
Don't waste your time arguing with those people.
If UNI wins, they'd tell you that UNI is the best team in the state.
If they beat UNI, they'd tell you that we got luck - that the hoks were having an "off-day".
Don't waste your time
Actually, it has become even funnier than all of this.
I was reading rivals hawk board, and went to the rivalry section, and these two genetic misfits started arguing that Iowa State only won because of the replay officials overturning Davis's TD.
You really can't make this stuff up.
I think in terms of success UNI has had at the level of competition they play, absolutely they are the best football team in the state. Are they they most talented team in the state? Absolutely not. However, I think they have proven throughout the past few years that they don't care and they will go toe to toe with the big boys and throw a few punches.
I had someone at work tell me this same thing yesterday, couldn't believe it. I was ****** they were given a TD in the 1st place. Can't believe the refs didn't see he stepped out of bounds in real time. Very obvious.
I dont think iowa fans realize that we should have dominated them. We did everything we could to hand them the game and they still didnt pull it off
