Two Things You Aren't Seeing Today...

Just give it some time.

And I fully expect the Des Moines media and radio sports shows to switch over to the “Iowa State is still a better team” narrative like usual. Beating them down at their place will only delay that a bit, maybe a couple weeks.

If so, that's some impressive mental gymnastics. I don't know how you can spin that straight up ass kicking from start to finish.
 
At the 10 minute mark of the 2nd half... Iowa had a 98.5% win probability. That dipped all the way down to 97.4% during the Clone run to end up still losing by double digits. Enjoy your "cutting the deficit from 25 to 12".
Completely unrelated to my response, but ok.

Take out the initial big run at the beginning of the game and the two teams played evenly. Throw in any other part of the game you want to satisfy your position, but it doesn't change the fact that the initial run was the difference in the game. Both teams played back and forth after that.

I'm glad we built that lead early. My heart couldn't handle the stress of a close game.

If the teams played evenly after the initial run, then Iowa is clearly the better team since the game was in Ames.

No doubt. My office clowns here in Des Moines all have their heads down. The place would be all jacked up today if they won. I haven’t said a word. I do have my gear on though to let them know where they stand, same with my ambassador flags on the car.

Exactly, take away the parts where Iowa outscores ISU and they lose by double digits. Iowa got really lucky.

Iowa was up fifteen at halftime. They had a double-digit lead for almost the entire game. The second half was even, in that Iowa only outscored ISU 45-44.

To believe it was an even game outside the first six minutes does not reflect reality.

Besides, the game is forty minutes. Every minute counts. You don't get to pick and choose which parts of the game matter. I've seen some pretty hilarious rationalizations of blowouts in the past, but the "if you take out the first six minutes the game was even" might take the cake. Talk about putting lipstick on a pig.

It's also suggesting that the only way Iowa "totally won" is for Iowa to have maintained the pace set in those first six minutes—meaning final score 120-27, assuming my math is right.

You can’t just take out part of the game. That’s just silly.

You know if you take out the first half, Iowa won the 2016 Rose Bowl.

If you take out the first 3 and a half minutes of the 2nd half, Iowa won 79-53.

and what was the difference in the final score. Interesting.

You act more butthurt over ISU losing than CyTwins.

Iowa played even up with Stanford in the Rose Bowl after the 1st quarter.

See how much sense that argument makes?
 
CF's response to JBo really shows how triggered that fan base is. His thread is 20 pages and counting.

Cyclone Fanatic wouldn't exist if the Clones ever stopped playing the Hawks.

execution is always the key in all phases in life
bohannan talked a little crap and backed it up with a win
also cyclone fanatic is pretty fun to hang out also, along with here, so that is simply a false statement

Doesn't CF have a several thousand page thread just on Iowa football recruiting?
