Iowa State 2015
- Thread starter kyle23
- Start date
Yep exactly like all years since 1912 no football conference championship for isu. Maybe they should go back to the MVC. Naw with isu's results lately with NDSU and UNI they couldn't even win that league.
But as long as they win their Suoer Bowl all is well. "Forever One" means as long as you beat Iowa you have a job forever.
I did notice you missed many games that have occurred since 1977 why would any self respecting clone fan limit the discussion to a specific time frame or just certain games?
Will Kyle finish off the isu fan stereotypes that haven't been validated in the Little Brother thread?
I can't wait.

At lot like prior years
There's a rule about posting obscene photographs that I think you are violating, sir.....
I'll kindly ask you to remove them.
Kyle is going to validate stereotypes about isu and its fans. Will it be their penchant to post then run away a little gurl or will he come back and give us others.
Kyle, Kyle he's our man if he can't do it no one can.
I'm actually curious about ISU's 2015 look too. They're one of the texas 10 teams I try to keep up with b/c they play a B1G school every year. How do clones fans feel about Mangino's offense?
I am cautiously optimistic, although that was based on a belief that we couldn't have the injury problems that plagued us last season.....then the backup at our thinnest and most important OL position, center, tore up his leg and is gone for the year.
Most of the players have had a year in Mangino's offense. There is experience everywhere except running back, where experience is least important, and tight end, where we lost one of the best in the league. The WR corps is strong.
I think most ISU fans feel the offense will be pretty good. The big question is the defense. Overall, I think if the Cyclones don't go at least 4-1 to start the season, they probably won't win any more games after that.
It will interesting to see how the offense is if the oline can stay somewhat healthy. The oline isn't going to be a top oline by any means but if the starters can play most of the games they should at least be solid. I don't know if Iowa, or Iowa State for that matter, has ever had 3 WRs at the same time with that kind of talent. The RBs are unknown and Richardson is a solid QB and can be good when he has time to throw. The defense though is a huge question mark. 3 new starters on the dline, 3 new LBs, a new safety. Their secondary is the strength but its not like they are still bottom half of the big 12 unit. They don't have a for sure win on their schedule.
Are you kidding me? Iowa for one. Jesus ISU will beat Iowa in Ames, it will be the end of KF era.
Is that a new school? Jesus ISU? Well if that's the case, I would say yeah the hawks are no match for Jesus ISU.
I've always liked ISU. I know/have known many of their grads over the years and they have been very kind to myself and my family, with very few exceptions.
I'd like to see them do better. At the least, they do have Iowa's number most years, and while that's not much to hang a hat on, it's better than nothing. Beating your in-state rival always looks like a good time.
An ISU grad I know here in Florida is a scientist in the citrus industry, working hard to crack the genetic code of various citrus crop diseases that threaten our fruit industry. So he's top notch as far as I am concerned.
Mangino has done good work in the past, and I hope he does so for the Cyclones.

Cool. I've always liked Magino's offense. I was really hoping NU was going to get him back in 2011 (I think) when they fired Watson. Can you imagine Mangino and Pelini on the same sideline? Wow. What a show that would've been. Ha.
ISU strength is going to be their WR's baring any injuries.The problem is can the OL give the QB enough time for those WR to develop their routes and get open. Also their running game could be a question mark.
I think the Iowa vs ISU game will be a good one, but there are too many question marks left. I just don't know how Iowa's defense will be? I also think CPR will be desperate to get a win, so he will pull out all the tricks and we all KF won't be prepared for them.

David - I don't think you are correct in saying that Ferentz won't be prepared for ISU this year. But if he isn't he will reap the whirlwind in Iowa City.
Neither coach holds back anything in this game. Desperation has nothing to do with it.
At this point, if I had to bet, I'd bet on ISU because I think the Cyclones are going to be a better team than the Hawkeyes.
Get back to me for an adjusted opinion after each team has played a game.

isu will be doing the same thing Iowa did last year with new linebackers. I can see Iowa running the ball and keeping it away from isu like we did in 2013. While it may not be the physical mismatch it was in 2013 I still expect the Hawks to win.
The game against Iowa State should be a guaranteed win for every team on their schedule... UNI and NDSU included. The fact that Iowa fans can't count it as such is a reflection on KF. Iowa State will be bad again this year because they have no running backs and as has been stated, their defense will be horrid once again. But I will be greatly surprised to see the Hawks blow them out, as should be expected.
ISU fans must be given some credit for supporting that trainwreck. I will admit that the tailgating atmosphere in Ames is considerably better than IC. So there's that!

I should have clarified. In Ames, the fan base isn't nearly as spread out over such a large area and is more concentrated, which allows for the corporate tents if you like that sort of thing. If you disagree, please explain why.
Corporate tents in no way enhance a tailgating experience. Give me a 30 rack of Busch and a backyard off of Melrose any day of the week.
Everyone has their own opinion of what constitutes good tailgate. If I'm a 19 year old. yeah... the Busch reference is probably true. If I'm a 50 year old... the corporate Jack Daniels tent suits me just right. So to each their own. Have been at JTS a few times for the Hawk game and it's nice to have to not fight the traffic over the Iowa River to and from the game.
And there's a reason the Booze tastes better if you're a Clone fan. You need to have a good buzz on to watch that crap fest!
