Your a Hawkeye fan and on a Hawkeye board, and you start a ISU thread.Think about it.
Sorry, Clowns, but your win at Oklahoma is not impressive after all

it was more like an embarrassing performance by OU. It has to be alarming and embarrassing for OU fans to lose at home to IS-who and to give up all those passing yards to the 2nd and 3rd string QB's . Again, when you look at OSU and OU right now, you have to to wonder how the heck OSU lost that game.
well, don't we all post about other teams on this board? heck, when the Sandusky thing erupted, for example, weren't there Penn State threads?
the difference is that i am not going to a Cyclone board with this thread.
think about it.
You are equating Oklahoma to Nebraska. Game
Winning in Norman is not a big deal? Set
OU is 3rd best team in the Worst power conference. Match
Thanks for playing. Maybe post a poll to see who agrees with you.
After watching Iowa State in a couple games this year, I think they are a solid team. And even Alabama has games in which they aren't all that impressive (see Texas A&M last week), so minimizing a huge road victory for ISU in Norman because OU had a tough game against rival Texas--a team trending up--is silly. And, it makes the Iowa fan saying as much sound little bro-ish.
Instate rivalry week is over. Time to move on.

what isn't really a big deal is blowing out ku by nearly 50 points. and this is a knock on ku not isu. somebody needs to go in there like the big fat guy did, and turn ku around one day
Trajectory is upward because they now get to play BIG teams the rest of the year. Your conference is so weak they can't possible lose another game. Remember, this weak Oklahoma team you speak of didn't just beat OSU, they owned them - at OSU! This post is too damn funny.
If they are the 3rd best team in the conference than the Big 12 must be pretty good since they are rated #12 in the nation. Someone is getting a little nervous as the Cyclones are getting better.
You'd better tell your recruits. Weird coming out of the all-time greatest win in program history that one of your better CB verbals de-committed.
True or not...it was suggested that it was a mutual decision...kinda like when Iowa and KJ Sails/Mike Bruner parted ways.
Defense in the Big12 can be tough to find. T-Tech and Okie St in particular have for years resembled turnstiles on furniture dollies with matching ai settings. But that conference is prolly more advanced than any at using RPO’s and they are more than just a fad. OU ran a couple against tOSU that were simply brilliantly designed plays and gamechangers.
You and Fran...jeesh. Not a bunch of difference between the quality of the Big 12 and Big 10 but continue on with my dad can beat up your dad.
Except for half your season so far. Derp! UNI, Akron, & Kan weren't on here & that's with having the full CFB television package.
You Clowns win a couple games in a row and suddenly you start thinking you belong. Just stop. Let the season play out then everyone will see what type of team Campbell put together. Then lets see what he can do next year, the year after, the year after that. You guys lose AL, Lanning, and a fifth year walk on at QB that beat OU. Not sure what that says about your program or OU's.
You can talk smack when you have multiple winning seasons in a row then people might take you guys serious. It's frankly embarrassing the number of Clown fans that invade the Hawkeye board after beating OU due to your trap game with them, then beating Kansas, which is downright terrible. Didn't you guys get beat by them last year?
Congrats on your little two game win streak in the B12 as I'm sure you would just roll in the B1G if you had to play the top teams as well as lowly Illinois and Rutgers.
I'll give you two wins with them, then who would you beat? Iowa? Nope, lost this year, three in a row, four out of five, seven out of ten, 10 out of 15. Nebraska? Maybe. Purdue? They give top teams fits. Maryland? No way, they spanked Texas at Texas. Minnesota? Toss up. Indiana? Coin flip here too. NW? They would give you fitz! Now the big boys: tOSU, PSU, Mich, MSU, and Wisky? A big fat no. Call the B1G when the B12 starts playing defense minus OU vs tOSU.
The same Iowa that went into Ames & wrecked shop yet again?!
Would hate to see what Iowa would do to Okla in Norman!
Yes, I'm definitely calling you weird. I toned it down for public consumption.
Disagree. I know you think you are being clever with your tennis analogy, but you argue quite poorly.
Iowa is an average team and so is Iowa State. Iowa State could not beat Iowa in Lames, as expected.
If Oklahoma is such a great team TODAY, they should have easily beaten an average Iowa State team at home; IS-who was even less average that day because they had to play their 2nd and 3rd string QB's. OU just proved that by losing to ISwho, OU was simply an average team as well. So, sorry, beating Oklahoma, even at their place, is not a big deal any more, just like beating Nebraska in Lincoln is not a big deal any more. Iowa fans don't get all worked up and excited when we beat Nebby in Lincoln but IS-who fans do when they beat Oklahoma in Norman? Makes zero sense, but then again, IS-who is not used to winning and they must think that Barry Switzer is still their head coach. This is no longer the 1980's.
Sure, somehow OU beat OSU, but look at Ohio State now. They are rolling since the OU blip on their radar.
Look at Oklahoma now. They could not stop Baylor (their pass defense is horrible) and squeaked out a win vs a very average Texas.
A very average Iowa State team beat a very average Oklahoma team. Congrats for a win, but it was not as big a win as some people would like to think.
When you learn to argue, please post again because you just lost this argument 6-0, 6-0 (going back to your tennis analogy). Until you learn how to construct an argument, please stay off the message boards. You will do us all a favor and you won't embarrass yourself like you did in your post above.
Thanks for playing. Better luck next time, but take your time in constructing your next post.
Good luck to you.
ISwho and OU are two very average teams playing in the worst Power 5 conference. Someone, in the end, had to win, and it ended up being ISwho. Big deal, as it turns out. And that is my point.
Next time you post an intelligent argument will be your first. You notice how nobody agrees with you. Do us all a favor and get help for your Cyclone envy.
If I want to know who the better team is, I don't know but at the end of the game, I will look at the scoreboard.
Here are the current Sagarin conference ratings.
Big 12.......78.670
ACC..........78.345
PAC-12.....78.100
Big Ten.....78.000
SEC..........77.670
I may not rank them in that order but as I've stated numerous times...I just don't see a big gap this year in any of the conferences. Parity seems alive and well.
That is very true. Not much difference in those numbers. Differences do start to show up when you post the numbers broken down by divisions, which is how Sagarin publishes them on their website. It's the conferences with the strongest divisions that also have the weakest divisions.
SEC-WEST.............81.98
BIG TEN-EAST.......81.02
ACC-ATLANTIC.....79.36
PAC-12(NORTH)....79.22
BIG 12....................78.67
ACC-COASTAL......77.33
PAC-12(SOUTH)....76.98
BIG TEN-WEST......74.98
SEC-EAST..............73.36

It was a great win but it appears that Oklahoma plays down to competition they needed 14 points in 4 quarter to beat Baylor.
This is why it's hard to EVER cheer for ISU. You guys win a couple games, and then you come over here and trash everything Iowa. It's f****** weird. I said to a friend after the Oklahoma game, prepare for ISU fans to say "our team is playing better than Iowa now", and sure enough, last week, there it was from ISU fans on this board. Iowa has won 4 of the last 5, 7 of the last 10. You guys are coming out of the cellar this year a bit, but my god, gain some perspective on your program a little bit.
You got sold a bad bill of goods then, because UNI is the only one that hasn't been on.
