lol - Michigan State on the road for their homecoming is a tougher opponent than UCF in Ames.
When does it become official?
- Thread starter WaterTower
- Start date
lol…I just think it’s dumb as f*ck. It would be like Nebraska wearing Green Bay Packers green & yellow unis. 😉
I call Iowa State teams the “clowns” in front of Iowa State fans all the time.
Is it a foregone conclusion that the clowns make the football playoffs?
ISU is having a nice year. Are not a better department than Iowa.
Of the things that concern me about Iowa athletics, ISU is not one of them.
Finally, enjoy it while you can, ISU, because it looks like B10 and SEC would be content to let you starve.

They might.
I think they have enough decent players and more athleticism this year to be competitive. It’s also hard to predict rivalry games.
I also don’t think Iowa State has won at Carver since 2014, so it’s not a foregone conclusion Iowa State wins.
100% different issue but until they stop doing this I will not stop calling them little brother.
I’ll be at that game loudly cheering the Hawks on. 😜
My issue with this thought is that conference tends to have better offensive skill positions than ours. Over the past several years, I’m not sure how we would fair against QBs like Oklahoma has had. Guys that can throw and run. Like ISU, but better talent. Then throw in our offense can’t hardly score and I don’t think it’s as easy as what people think.
ISU plays defense, maybe not as good in the past as Iowa but they are still salty. The difference is, they have competent to good offense too where Iowa’s offense is downright incompetent to terrible (like worst in major Div 1 football).
ISU gave up 35 to Central Florida. Clone defense is not what Iowa would call salty.
I think yesterday was about as bad as I have seen Iowa St play, so one game doesn’t make them a bad defensive team. We could’ve easily given up nearly 50 to MSU, but we kept holding them to FGs. Does that mean I think our defense is bad, nah just a notch or so lower than it has been.
I also think MSU’s run offense punched us in the mouth. I thought they were the most physcal defense we’ve played besides Ohio St.
Everybody calls them the Clowns, and always has.
14 points were on pick sixes. The 2nd one was waived off because the UCF dropped the ball at the 1 yard line. No one from ISU recovered it, so they were given the ball at the spot
UCF did a nice job of attacking weak spot in ISU D, which is the LB
The ONLY place I have ever seen/heard Clowns is on here. i live in CR surrounded by Hawk fans - no one has ever made said Clowns.
A family member graduated from Iowa with a bachelor's degree, and I don't recall her calling them clowns until she started going to school there.
Have you ever been to an Iowa club in any major city? "Clowns" is used quite a bit. 🤡
Maybe they don't want to hurt your feelings. Born and raised in SE Iowa. We've called them the Clowns for the last 40 years. No lie.
A preseason ranking means nothing and isn’t happening at all yet. Back to back national championship appearances have put Iowa women’s basketball on the national map. Just look at the recruiting. Losing a generational talent like CC hurts no doubt but her legacy and what she’s doing and has done for the program is still growing.
He's right. You just came here to troll and gloat that your team is doing so great in a watered down BIG12 conference that's more like the MAC now.
To the OP: No
ISU is having a once in a gazillion kind of year for them. They had a 7% chance to win at Iowa when they got the ball back with 39 seconds left. They are in a conference that has substantially less money and clout with a coach that will probably get plucked before long.

Iowa could go undefeated in the Big 12!
Hmm. Let me check.....Oh! Iowa lost the Iowa State game. Oops. Seems the undefeated argument is shot, and totally foolish in the 1st place. Iowa fans sound as dumb and unrealistic as Nebraska's at times.
Huh? Pretty simple given that it’s a 12 team playoff. All it takes is a solid team that doesn’t piss away the ISU game. Hell it should have been this year.
