You are right, cy fan will never let it go. Anything that challenges their perception of reality results in a fight to the death.
They simply will never let go of their long standing myths. It is the fabric of the isu fanbase.

Did I say that? Nope. I laid out two possibilities: your friends are either meth heads or crack smokers, or you and your buddies start your first day of 5th grade this week. Nowhere did I question your veracity.
However, I am now for certain questioning your reading comprehension skills. So you don't need to ask. I am.
I began to question cycity's self esteem and sanity a while ago--then I started to put into question my own sanity for arguing with someone clearly working with the cognitive functions akin to a fruit fly's.
That's when I put him on ignore.
Here's my take on the difference between how the fan base of each school views the game:
For us Iowa fans, it's an incredibly important game not to lose. It's a hurdle early in the season that needs cleared. When Iowa wins the game, it moves on immediately because who gives a rip about beating a bad Big 12 team. It doesn't define the season and it certainly doesn't save a bad season. Iowa going 6-6 with a win against ISU does nothing for me as a fan. I would rather Iowa beat Michigan or OSU. It's not great to beat ISU, it just sucks losing to them. I personally would rather take ISU off the schedule and put a traditionally better power 5 team on it.
For ISU fans, it appears to me it's an incredibly important game for them to win. It can define the season, even a bad one, for ISU. I've seen ISU license plates personalized around one particular Iowa game. Seriously. Several of them exist. This is not trying to be a knock against ISU. If Campbell gets things going ISU fans will evolve to where Iowa fans are, which is looking to the bigger picture. Iowa is not an elite team in the Alabama sense, but it has shown it can have elite seasons. If Campbell gets ISU going 8-4, 9-3 on a consistent basis and is able to get wins against the OUs of the world every now and then, the Iowa game will become less and less important to them. I'm certain any ISU fan would take their win against Okla. State against any Iowa win any day of the week. But those "big wins" don't happen enough - the Iowa game will always be more important for ISU fans to win until they can get over the proverbial consistent success hurdle.

If a win over Iowa can define the season for ISU explain to me why most of the fan base wanted Rhoads fired after 2014 when they beat Iowa that season.
We are not sensitive, the whole isu is Iowa's Super Bowl simply isn't true. If it was, Iowa would price their tickets differently than we do.
On the other hand it is quite clear that Iowa is isu's Super Bowl. How else can one explain why isu prices tickets to the Iowa game the way they do.
cy fans and their delusions.
Even tho you beat Iowa.. You still sucked.. Duh why would you want a coach that didn't win
Exactly. The Iowa game doesn't define ISU's season at all. That's just stupid considering less than two years ago that was proven to be a myth
This is true. There is a car in Des Moines that has had the following license plates:
36 to31 (referencing 2002)
9 to 6 (referencing 2012)
20 to17 (referencing 2014)
To prove that last plate exists, go to this website and try to enter it as an ISU plate:
http://www.iowadot.gov/mvd/personal...sage=-1&Personalized=true&LeasedVehicle=false
I could get 9 to 6, 9to6, 36 to31 and 36to31. You can't do 20 to 17, you actually can't even use a 0 on a license plate so maybe you shouldn't lie

I just did and they didn't. They were more than satisfied by winning their Super Bowl. At least that's what I heard from real ISU fans/donors. Not much more to say huh CyCity?!
A majority of the fans wanted Rhoads fired after 2014. He had one of the hottest seats in the country. CBS actually only had two coaches with a "hotter seat" than Rhoads after 2014.
So now not only do we have ticket prices that show Iowa is isu's Super Bowl we have bona fide isu fans going so far as to put scores on their license plates.
The mounting evidence is so overwhelming I am surprised cy fan is still posting.
Obviously not. At least according to the ISU fans that matter. In fact, you may not know this, but he coached in 2015. The Super Bowl win saved his job. He lost the Super bowl in 2015. And, well, we all know what happened after his Super bowl loss.
I know a lot of donors at Iowa State and most of them wanted Rhoads gone after 2014. I know for a fact Rhoads was told he had to win 5 games in 2015 to keep his job which is why he got fired after the Kansas State debacle. Leath wanted him gone after 2014 but Pollard convinced him to give him one more year which ended up probably being a blessing in disguise because it got us Matt Campbell.
And yet you didn't fire him...beating Iowa likely saved his job for one more year.
Sure it is, who else would get an isu personalized plate with scores from when you win your Super Bowl?
When will isu's savior actually be a savior? I have been hearing from isu fans the new coach is going to deliver since isu was "finer with Criner".
Actually 2014 doesn't really prove that it's a myth because Rhoads survived that year. It was the next year when he lost to Iowa that he was let go. Coincidence? I'll let the omniscient CyCity be the judge of that.
But the fact of the matter is in 2014 Rhoads went 2-10 overall and 0-9 in Big 12 play. ISU was not competitive in most games that year, In spite of that, Rhoads kept his job.
In 2015, Rhoads went 3-9 overall and 2-7 in Big 12 play. One could easily make the argument that the 2015 team had more success and was much more competitive. ISU won two B12 games, (Texas and Kansas) led TCU 21-14, and nearly beat both K-State and Oklahoma State. After the season, Rhoads was shown the door.
Make your own judgements....
Sure you can the zero simply becomes an o. So go to the Iowa license web site and go to get a isu personalize plate that reads 2Oto17. It will tell you if it is available or not. Last I checked it wasn't available.
Let us know when we put Iowa State jerseys on our tackling dummies. Hell you still had NDSU to beat before our game but still focused on the Hawks

So happy we got rid of that coach. That's not as bad as hanging up ISU posters everywhere but that was still pretty bad
Cy city is getting it handed to him today. He will keep at it though just watch.
Assuming this is directed towards me I will say 4. Our OL is going to be beyond terrible. 2017 I think is a bowl season though
No it isn't, if you try to get a personalized isu license plate that reads 2Oto17 the response is "Were sorry but that combination is not available. Please try again."
You're right. That's pretty sad someone would do that. That's even worse than the BEATST8 plates and stuff like that I see. I guess whoever has that plate is our version of Herkyfan
What is your deal here? Why do you come over here so much, sit on our board all day long, if this isn't YOUR super bowl? You just got proven wrong, just go away.
So you lied when you said it was available? Did you really put someone on ignore and then continue to address them in posts?
I didn't lie, I made an error. Herkyfan is batsh*t crazy just like whoever the guy is that would put 2Oto17 on a license plate
I said that cy city it is just like the rest of the isu fan base. When anything is posted that dispels a long held isu myth they will fight to the death.
He will cling to the Super Bowl myth despite what evidence there is that says otherwise.
I actually like Iowa basketball so that's why I originally came on here. It's too easy to disprove the "Iowa State cares more about the game than Iowa" myth not to hop on here from time to time
You didn't make an error you lied. You can't enter any version of 20to17 and have it be available. As with most Cy fans you shot off your mouth without knowing the facts and now you are questioning someone else's sanity.
