The only thing that matters is for Iowa to own the state of Iowa and to have a complete lock down on every talented recruit in this state. Iowa State winning anything is a negative to that goal. MC being able to walk into a recruit's living room with a bowl win over Notre Dame in his back pocket is not a good thing for Iowa.I always root for the situation that would most benefit the Hawks. In this case my long standing hate for Notre Dame's arrogance outweighs my long standing hate for Iowa State's ignorance. I choose Iowa State. If they win, it would be crushing for the high and mighty domers. Never again could they claim Iowa's schedule sucks. Could stop the national narrative too.
The downside of this would be ISU getting too bigheaded. Of course we only have to hear that until next season when we can beat that right out of them.
Go Clowns!

As much as some of you hate Notre Dame, how often do we ever go head-to-head with them for recruits? Do we play Notre Dame on our schedule? Do Notre Dame fans come to this place and talk junk? I doubt the Iowa Hawkeyes even cross the minds of most Notre Dame fans. Yet, daily there are Clown fans coming here spouting their nonsense, even after 5 straight years of losing they still can't shut up.
Why would you ever cheer for the Cyclones in anything? I really don't understand this "good for the state" stupidity.
I'm with you...I don't dislike them as much as I do Nebraska. I have never been fan of Notre Dame, I guess I don't much care who wins that bowl game.
All the above (except nebraska)1. Root for IOWA
2. Root for ISU to lose and look bad doing it
3. Root for other B1G teams when it counts (National Championship, Bowl Games, March Madness, etc). Want the B1G to look good

If Iowa State went 11-1 with their only loss being Iowa, would that have helped Iowa into a better bowl than the Holiday (sneak preview of answer: NOPE)
If Iowa State went 11-1 with their only loss being Iowa, would that help Iowa with recruiting (sneak preview of answer: NOPE)
If Iowa State went 11-1, with their only loss being Iowa, would their fans stay off our board (sneak preview of answer: NOPE)
If Iowa State went 12-1, beating ND in their bowl game, with their only loss being Iowa, would it help us in any way shape or form? (sneak preview of answer: NOPE)
In no case does it ever help Iowa ever for ISU to be good.
The one difference between ISU and Nebraska fans is At least Nebraska was once relevant.I don't dislike them as much as I do Nebraska. I have never been fan of Notre Dame, I guess I don't much care who wins that bowl game.
I have honestly tried to pull for ISU a number of times , I just can't seem to do it. I end up rooting for their opponent. The Notre Dame-ISU clash will be a true test for me.
I pull for Iowa State when not playing Iowa. Also pull for UNI and Drake when not playing Iowa. Late 60's early 70's we only had two TV stations and I would try to listen to Iowa teams on radio. Drake basketball was a big deal then and their games were on WHO.. Johnny Majors was football coach at ISU. Not as big of fan of ISU anymore. Mainly because of social media.
So what better bowl game do we go to? What recruits would that help us with? What assclown posters would toss respect our way on the message boards?I disagree with you on every point. In your scenarios, Iowa would be considered the football hotbed of America, the toast of the national media, and a recruiting boom for BOTH schools.
Honest question - does ISU prioritize in-state recruiting like Iowa does? I haven't really compared rosters lately, but generally speaking Iowa tends to have a lot more in-state kids than ISU does. Iowa usually seems to also be a lot more selective about whom it recruits as evidenced by its very few offers compared to ISU. ISU also seems to utilize JUCOs and other transfers more than Iowa does.
I don't think there's anything inherently wrong with the way ISU puts bodies on its rosters, it's just that it seems to be very different than how Iowa does it.
How does an ISU bowl win help the “national narrative perspective” of the Hawks???? This makes zero sense.Nowhere did i take a 'good for the State' stance. I don't live in Iowa, haven't for close to 30 years, but bleed black and gold just like you.
If i worked with a bunch of Clowns, or had them for neighbors, i might feel like you. But since i don't, i will root for them to knock the arrogant Domers off their pedestal, who are frickin everywhere. From a national narrative perspective, this would be a good thing for the Hawks.

You really think national media would talk up iowa and not just say it's a one year wonder and will end once all the coaches are in the SEC?

If you would cheer for ISU, I have to call into question your “bleed black and gold” statement. But....to each his own.
Okay. I'll bite.
In your scenario ISU is 11-1 with their only loss being Iowa. What bowl would they be going to right now? (hint: Peach vs. #1 LSU). As this was being debated on every sports show by every talking head for the past month guess what every single one of them would have said? (preview: "The Iowa Hawkeyes are their only loss"). Think this would have helped recruiting? (answer: Yes)
Doesn't take a rocket scientist to imagine the Hawks would be ranked higher with such a quality win, probably higher than 9-3 Michigan. (Hmmm Citris Bowl... Iowa is ranked higher and also in the national conversation, afterall, they DID beat ISU... maybe we should choose them to play against Alabama).
How excited is hardy to watch Notre dame play Iowa stateI have honestly tried to pull for ISU a number of times , I just can't seem to do it. I end up rooting for their opponent. The Notre Dame-ISU clash will be a true test for me.
