Is this thread a troll trap? Get them all in here and then we beat the crap out of them?
If so, I'm in. Just tell me the signal.

Who does the HAWKS most resemble in the Big 12?

Iowa lost by a few TD's to OU in the Insight about 5 years ago. OU wasn't that good that year, were missing key pieces, and got smoked by Okie State for the B12 title. One of Stoops worst years there too.
Iowa is a lot like KSU, at least KSU under Snyder other than last year. Sold defense, just enough offense to win, seems to win a lot of games while being outplayed by opponents, live on turnovers. The guy that wants to compare Iowa to OU is smoking crack. Look at what OU has done to ISU for the past 25 years. ISU has had no chance in all most all those games. OU kind of does whatever it wants. Iowa had a nice run over ISU but in recent years the games have mostly been battles.
Snyder isn't afraid to play non-con's outside the State, something Iowa has basically said they won't do anymore.
Iowa fans think they are OU when in reality they are Kstate with an easier schedule.
Baylor. Not because of the success, but because of the incidents of rape by the football team and the lengths the coach, AD, president, and BoR were willing to go through to sweep it under the rug.

K State all the way, has had some really good seasons but never really won anything that mattered. Usually a tad better than .500 but when they get a favorable schedule and get good QB play, can win 9 or 10 games.
why did you pick the last 6 years? Is it because Iowa won the orange bowl 7 years ago? If we are doing that time frame then Iowa looks better than Texas but nobody is going to say Iowa is comparable to them because of tradition. In another thread I wrote about how Okie st and Iowa had very similar years last year. Beat the bad/average teams but lost to the good teams. Both had close games vs us and played weak noncons
Okie State won 18 games in 2008 and 2009 and finished ranked both those seasons ranked so I'm not sure why anyone would compare Iowa to them. Okie State has clearly been the better program lately
Neither were we, 2011 was as average to below average as we've been in a long time, except for 2012 of course. And while I won't say the game was ever in doubt, it was a little bit closer than the score indicates due to a fantastic final performance by Norm Parker.
Go figure all the Hoks are disagreeing with my post. They don't like being exposed for the hypocrites that they are when casting judgment on schools like Penn St. and Baylor.
Probably bait, but did you even understand that article? Everson was suspended from the team days after the assault, and was testified against by his teammates. One incident where the coaches actually did their job does not even come close to what's going on in Waco.
Oh, I understood the article perfectly. I also remember the situation perfectly where everyone associated with the U of I did everything to bury that poor girl, and everyone with the football program waited until it became a national story before they even bothered to take any kind of action. Feel free to investigate the threads here from 5 years ago - they're in the archives.
I'm not arguing that it wasn't a crappy thing to do by Iowa, because it was, but it doesn't even compare to the travesties that were Penn State and Baylor.
