Yep, it was in a quote from a presentation he did to their equivalent of our I-Club. It was the reason I went from rooting for them when they weren't playing Iowa to actively rooting against them.He seriously said that? I guess I'd believe it, based on the other interviews and public statements I've read.
No wonder they took on so much debt and made it a priority to disparage the Iowa program whenever possible.
Now they have serious budget issues going forward (see the other thread on Debt etc.) and that predatory strategy only ended up eating away at their own future.
Karma's a b*tch.
That doesn't surprise me one bit. I don't like Pollard, but give the man credit, he plays their fanbase like a fiddle.Yep, it was in a quote from a presentation he did to their equivalent of our I-Club.

Clone fans picked that date to avoid counting the Hawks’ 2 Rose Bowl wins. Otherwise Iowa would have 3 major bowl wins to ISU’s 1.It's funny to me, regardless of who brings it up. I feel like I'm one of the oldest guys on this site, and even I wasn't born yet.
What's the total for each since 2019? Or, must ignore?Clone fans picked that date to avoid counting the Hawks’ 2 Rose Bowl wins. Otherwise Iowa would have 3 major bowl wins to ISU’s 1.
They also never mention major bowl appearances……because it looks even worse for ISU at 6 to 1 (since 1958….8-1 overall).
What a convenient year to pick.What's the total for each since 2019? Or, must ignore?

I'll give you the point."It may not be recognized by the Big 12 as a regular season championship, but that's exactly what it was in 2020 sans the trophy."
Not a claim?* Interesting.

Iowa's schedule is locked in through 2025.An interesting alliance tidbit…
I don't recall him ever saying this. Do you have a link?The irony of this is that, early on in Pollard's tenure, he basically said the same thing...that ISU needed to take Iowa down as it was the only way they could truly thrive and it was his mission to ensure that ISU became the big dog in the state and that Iowa dropped into obscurity.
Who has a loss to a non Power 5 school since 2019? Or, must ignore?What's the total for each since 2019? Or, must ignore?
and there it is we must pick and choose certain and very narrow time frames for clown fan arguments to hold true.What's the total for each since 2019? Or, must ignore?
How about the last twenty years? 3-1What's the total for each since 2019? Or, must ignore?
Do you have a link for a fictitious regular season title being more important than a Divisional Title or do links only go one way with clown fans?I don't recall him ever saying this. Do you have a link?
EDIT: Nevermind. I can see him saying something like that at a booster event. Especially if it is in Cedar Rapids, which I have attended all of them. I doubt it was exactly as stated, but it's the kind of thing you hear at these events.

How many times has ISU beaten Iowa since 2015? Or, must ignore?What's the total for each since 2019? Or, must ignore?
I want to make sure I have this right. As long as crybaby Pollard is putting up billboards or “just talking to boosters” we can’t believe anything that comes out of his mouth is that right?I don't recall him ever saying this. Do you have a link?
EDIT: Nevermind. After reading responses that it was at a booster event, I can see him saying something like that at a booster event. Especially if it is in Cedar Rapids, which I have attended all of them. I doubt it was exactly as stated, but it's the kind of thing you hear at these events.
Which means we need 2 additional non con home gamesAn interesting alliance tidbit…
Ya might want to delete this one tbhHere is another one, who as a 2 or a 3 seed in the NCAA Tournament failed to see round 2 the last 15 years for men’s basketball?
I wasn't quoting him...that was the gist of what he was saying.I don't recall him ever saying this. Do you have a link?

Why is that isu did it for both not Iowa.Ya might want to delete this one tbh
I understood that. It just didn't sound like something he would say in public. But when it was revealed it was at a booster meeting, I can see him saying things similar to this. He's not the only one that does that kind of thing when surrounded by boosters.I wasn't quoting him...that was the gist of what he was saying.
Yep and again it’s funny how talking about our rivalry with them don’t go back to the date in late 70s when it restarted it was always from 98’ on when they ended the losing streak.Clone fans picked that date to avoid counting the Hawks’ 2 Rose Bowl wins. Otherwise Iowa would have 3 major bowl wins to ISU’s 1.
They also never mention major bowl appearances……because it looks even worse for ISU at 6 to 1 (since 1958….8-1 overall).
and even then it only counts from 1998 to 2002. After that only certain games actually count and only according to clown fans.Yep and again it’s funny how talking about our rivalry with them don’t go back to the date in late 70s when it restarted it was always from 98’ on when they ended the losing streak.

Oh, ok. Like back when they were still wearing leather helmets? Go ahead and hang your hat on that smart guy. Whatever makes you feel better about yourself.That’s neat. It’s not funny, it’s just plain dumb. But that was the arbitrary year set by clone logic knowing that Iowa went to two major bowls in the three years before that.
Hey maybe in a few years the UNI game can be a conference game for you guys. I would support isu going back to the MVC to win a conference title in football again.Oh, ok. Like back when they were still wearing leather helmets? Go ahead and hang your hat on that smart guy. Whatever makes you feel better about yourself.
20 years is a relevant sample size, and in that time Iowa has clearly dominated.How about the last twenty years? 3-1
At least once. Last year, to the ragin cajuns. That lame ass team ended up finishing behind us, but in front of Iowa. Must ignore?Here is one isu has more in, how many 17 point beat downs at home to Sun Belt teams the last 20 years?

Well let us know when Iowa loses by 17 to a Sun Belt team then. Especially when it is the best team in school history.At least once. Last year, to the ragin cajuns. That lame ass team ended up finishing behind us, but in front of Iowa. Must ignore?
Meh...Well let us know when Iowa loses by 17 to a Sun Belt team then. Especially when it is the best team in school history.
Must ignore?
So what was funnier last year, isu’s best season in school history being only 9 wins or a NY6 triumph over a 4 win team that didn’t even win their division?At least once. Last year, to the ragin cajuns. That lame ass team ended up finishing behind us, but in front of Iowa. Must ignore?
