Was bored so I watched a game on CYTV

The thing that's striking about it is that Hawkeye fans don't really have an excuse for feeling entitled. I don't mean that as a cheap shot. It's understandable at Nebraska (until recently), Ohio State, Texas, Oklahoma, USC, but Iowa hasn't had the kind of consistent greatness that should produce the kind of fan attitude you're talking about.

It was after our brief string of success from 2002-2004. That's where any sense of entitlement stemmed from.

The difference is Iowa is always trying to compete with several top tier programs historically within their conference, and when we drop off after having some success, a certain portion of our fanbase is not okay with the setbacks to upsetting the supposed "natural order" of things......

Iowa State, however, is not trying to keep up with anyone at the top. They're merely hoping to field a squad capable of hanging with teams, maintaining that, and possibly pulling the occasional upset that they can commemorate and celebrate for the next 30+ years, particularly with Iowa (and that is a true fact backed up by evidence from the football program's own players and coaches over the years).

What evidence are you speaking of?

I'd link everything ever said by every coach, player and fan just to appease your curiosity that doesn't need to be appeased at all.................but I'm on my phone.

I can't decide if you or LoneClone get owned more on this site. Who do you think? I'd say Lone but it's damn close.

Has Iowa ever worn something that's said beat Iowa state??

Must ignore. isu grads say so.

I think he's talking about the player a few years ago who said they practiced for the ISU-Iowa game in the spring, and also in the week prior to the game even though they had another opponent scheduled.

Of course, that was a Hawkeye player saying those things about what the Hawkeyes did, but what the hell, right?
