Not even close, Garry.... on multiple facets.
Choosing the time frame you did is arbitrary. If not, I have listed several facts regarding your favored isu from that very same period of time. Let's discuss those since that time frame is so critical to you. Why the need for three different coaches at isu when Dan McCarney was fired with games remaining to be played in 2006 so that the AD in Ames would have ample time to conduct an exhaustive search for the right person to lead isu to the next level? Why has isu not had any degree of sustained success in the sixteen years that you want to focus all attention upon now? No divisional championships. No conference championships. Not even one season with even ten wins. How does that look to you in terms of relevance?
Yes the past is quite relevant and always will be. No matter how much dolts like you wish for it to be erased from all memory, it will always be what it is. One team has elected to over-emphasize that single game and has the slightest of margins in the time frame you choose due to some very narrow wins in recent years. The other chooses to treat the game as it is - another non-conference contest and has prioritized conference performance and postseason play instead. You tell me which is working out the best.
I'll invite you the same as I have others, Garry. Name any other team/program from a Power 5 Conference that has accomplished less. I'll go you one better and allow you the entirety of all of their history. No need whatsoever to cherry pick.
Oh, my feelings are just fine.... do not concern yourself on matters you know nothing about.
Called out for what again? You are just all over the place. Does Iowa, any site affiliated to Iowa have to slant ISU any and everytime possible when they should be happy getting the #1 LB recruit out of Iowa....LOL.
Oh. So if you took a random fan from another part of the country and asked them what the record of the last 17 years is in this series they would think ISU has won 9 of them? No way
Considering Iowa was a double digit favorite in all but maybe 1 or 2. Utter failure of Old Kirk vs that garbage team and program. Lets hope the nonsense is at an end.
I guess by this logic Iowa vs Nebrasks is hardly a rivalry either since Nebraska leads series 29-14-2 all time and since 77 Nebraska leads series 8-3.
You are correct, thanks for playing. Iowa wins a few more and we may get something here. 2014 debacle in Kinnick and Iowa winning the last 2 in Lincoln is helping it heat up some. Playing for the West on Black Friday will firmly create the rivalry. Losing to a sh4t ISU team due to careful Kirk most of the time and then ISU going on to 2-10 is hardly a rivalry.
Depends on how the fanbases treat it. I treat ISU as an annoying Bug so to each their own. Playing for TITLES, chance to go to Indy, def would seem to fire up both fanbases don't you think? That is a lot on the line. Not being 1 of ISU's 2 or 3 wins.
Iowa has had a tendency to play down to their opponents level when playing mediocre/poor teams like ISU. On the other hand, ISU practically rests their entire season on the game.
Bad things can happen when one team overlooks a game and the other thinks it is the Super Bowl lol.
Problem with ISU fans is they think winning that one game makes their season a success. If we win....it's just another game.

Why would they whine about that? Wasn't the last night game in Kinnick 2002? That turned out pretty good.
Unfortunately that is how most Nebraska fans that I know think about Iowa. Hopefully Iowa can change that perception over the next few years.
I would agree.....also agree the boys have the opportunity to change this. Being in the same division and going head to head at the end of the season could really get spicy.
Agree with both of you above, that is why I said it is not a rivalry yet, need to keep winning and these games need to be for the West more often then not.
End of debate, this is the answer. ISU has never beaten Iowa, nor have they had better players or a better team. The only time "the flagship" UI has ever lost to ISU is because of coaching or because the players didn't care enough about the game to assert their dominance on the lowly clowns. It is so frickin annoying that their players try hard and win some of these games. ISU only cares about Iowa because Iowa is so good - Oklahoma, Baylor, TCU, OSU, KSU, TTech, UT, WVU are bush league. Rose Bowl baby!
Nebraska can at least say they have been relevant in college football. isu has never been able to do such a thing.
Hey isu grad the goal isn't to upset a top 5 team once every blue moon the goal is to be a top 5 team. Do that once in your history and then you can get back to us about how much better you are than Iowa. Or will this post simply fly right over their heads?
Good luck.

A night game would be sweet, not sure why anyone would care when the kickoff is unless it's 11am since those suck
My theory:
They know there's a good chance they are going to get destroyed in this one and then have face the gauntlet of Hawk fans that have been day drinking for 12 hours.
Just don't 2002 it with Banks literally handing the ball to them on the 20 back to back possessions.
There's really still Iowa fans that say this? That's sad unless you're being sarcastic
