But do tell us how it really is LC.
Little brother not so little anymore?

Yeah, just like Bison fans (North Dakota State) and Rocket fans (Toledo) continue to prop up the isu program.
Easier to brag about sell outs compared to lack of them at kinnick when they aren't same sizes. In past 10 years if Iowa was playing games in a stadium the size of JTS would have sold out every game. On the flip side how many games would ISU be able to bring in 70,000+ Minus the Iowa game? Even with renovated stadium Iowa has brought in at least 61K for last decade plus.
Nope. Win a football conference championship more than once every century then get back to us.
Bragging rights for sure. But on national perspective won't change anything. Will still be considered one of the worst power 5 conference teams. Amazed when someone told me this little tidbit. ISU has only 2x finished a season in the top 25. 1976 and 2000 their best season ever finished 9-3 and 25th in the polls.
Funny thing is how clone fans talk about how they dominate this series now even though over the last few years it is basically a 50/50 game and can be skewed depending on what year you start with. But don't tell that to clone fanatic because God dammit they are one dominant fuggin team boys. Immediately after last years game, I had a clone coworker tell me that they kick our ass every year. Seemed funny considering we ran the ball up their ass the year before. But the reason it feels that way is because they know they suck So anytime they win they have to sit around and pat each other's backs. They should be called the iowa state back patters. Or perhaps the Iowa state sos champions.
Bottom line is that "if" ISU wins the game this year. Iowa may spiral into a sad state of affairs, and it will take a good portion of the season to come out of it. Hope that doesn't happen, but it might.
That's what that earlier post said. If we win the sky is the limit. If we lose.....no chance of going over 7-5.
If isu wins they end still end up with a losing season and keep a coach who will never really achieve anything at isu. The point remains isu won 5 in a row not all that long again and nothing changed Iowa was and still is big brother. In fact Iowa got even stronger.
DO NOT talk down about the Case IH Redzone. Is living in an agricultural state not cool enough for you?
Our marketing is terrible and you should feel bad about embracing it. The university is about 10 years behind, those jobs are so secured that the people in those positions don't even try. At least I hope, because if they are its been pitiful.
Have you seen Pollards latest? I love the potential his new campaign has. Forever one.......win against Iowa and a coach can be at isu FOREVER. I guess when you hire a firm that is run out of someone's basement the results speak for themselves. Here I thought they couldn't do worse than the Filed of Dreams takeoff. "If you build it they will come"...well they will come for the $99.00 mini packs that is.
I can't wait to see what they do next!
ISU absolutely has a better marketing dept. than Iowa, if you can't see this you are obtuse and a homer. How much play did "I'm so proud" get played across the country? Also, they may end up selling more season tickets that Iowa. A team that hasn't had a winning record in almost a decade.
Sure they do, their recent "Forever One"'and "If you build it they will come" campaigns can't be laughed at.
Im owing by numbers reported for the university of Iowa sold so far for this season and number of tickets sold by ISU last season. Add in their enrollment numbers are growing and it's not too much of a stretch.
You just know pollard is going to wait till iowa releases their number and then top it by a bit. That's his move and I don't blame him one bit. Then he'll probably put up a billboard.
Anyone who has seen either of the ads knows exactly what I'm saying. Even clone fans on cyclone fanatic are laughing at them. Apparently you have not seen Pollards latest gems.
We have a winner. Pollard epitomizes the little brother syndrome isu is aflicted with.
I'd be surprised if ISU sells more season tickets than Iowa this year.
However, ISU sold more season tickets last year than Iowa did. Iowa sold 39,893 season tickets for th 2014 season. ISU was over 40,000 for the third consecutive season, with a high of over 43,000 for 2013.
Those good ole $99.00 season tickets did wonders. Discount the cost and then pat yourself on the back for achieving more volume. I mean everyone knows it is volume and not revenue that matters right? No one with any financial understanding at all would see through such a tactic would they?
Will Pollard also count his $99.00 mini packs as season tickets?
LC will tell us how it really is though. Just watch.
Based on the last two ad's isu's wiz kids have put out the answer is clear. If you believe that is better marketing I have bridge for sale and some prime land in Southwestern Florida. Do you want to know where to wire the money? I will give you a great deal......
I, for one, hope that Iowa offers a deep-discount package to get back to sell outs. Not for some type of streak, but to get as many fans in there as possible. A $99 package above/next to the students sounds like a decent plan.
That is assuming they don't find a way to fill the students back up.

So do you want to know where to wire the money for my bridge or are you more of a swamp fan? It is a great deal.
Sure it will change over time, but let's look at ISU's schedule:
UNI, Iowa, Toledo
Kansas, Texas Tech
Certainly not a gauntlet, and comparable to Iowas: ISU, Ill. St., North Texas and Pitt, Wisconsin. Both have an upper FCS (whoopee) a Mac, rival, two P5 schools. I'd say Iowa has the edge with Wisconsin.
But then ISU hits TCU and Baylor. Going off of last year, those are two top 10s, whereas Iowa hits Illinois and Northwestern.
Big 12s remainder, imo, is completely up in the air. They could be mediocre-to-bad again (Texas, Ok St, W Virg), or good (Ok., K St.) or they could far surpass expectations (see Ok/Texas).
Iowa's is basically a dud, unless you are a midwestern football fan. Unless things vastly outperform last year, it is obvious that ISU's schedule is much "harder".
But, it is tied inextricably to TCU and Baylor. If TCU drops back to 7-win territory, and Baylor stumbles a few times, it drastically reduces their SOS. Obviously.
SOS has proven to be bogus the past decade based on post season results. It doesn't matter if it is Football or MBB for the big 12, the outcome is the same. The big 12 has nothing but disappointment in store when Bowl Season or the NCAA tourney rolls around.
Ouch.
My business is one of those businesses being advertised on their screens and we take pride in that. I'm not saying their marketing department is great but I've enjoyed the Red Zone promotion and I know a lot of other people in Iowa enjoy it too.
I get it, this is an agricultural state and you work at pancheros (which I like). I just feel the marketing and all the ads leave much to be desired.
If you are talking about the case IH red zone when they had the old annoying guy I don't know one person who enjoyed that guy yelling. Though I think they changed it up but that was god awful when they had that.
