What would you want more? Top 10 rating on Monday or Iowa beating Wisc. on Sunday

It's an Iowa thing. We are a smaller state and don't get a lot of respect. I'd rather see the state get respect from Iowa winning. I mean as long as we beat them we are still better so I don't get why you wouldn't cheer for them. It can only make us look better.

Was Iowa a better team over ISU last year in basketball? They won the game and went to the NIT while ISU played two games in the NCAA.

Don't care what the Hoks do from here on out. I stopped paying attention right after we beat them. I'm not too worried about breaking into the top ten. Just keep winning and all that stuff will take care of itself.

The Iowa-Wisky game is a win-win situation IMO. If Iowa wins, it helps our SOS, and if Wisky wins.... well, it's always fun watching Iowa lose and Fran throw temper tantrums.

I honestly don't care what our rank is at all. Yeah, it would be great to be top ten, but it's really meaningless. Just keep winning and rank will take care of itself.

Would like to see Iowa win this to help our SOS.

Also, buddy of mine is an equipment manager at Iowa - going to the home Michigan State game with him on my way back to DM from Peoria - first big home game for Iowa but they play Wisconsin today and Ohio State on the road before that. Been a long time since I've been in Carver ('04 ISU-Iowa MBB game I think) and would like to see how it compares (or not) to Hilton when it's "rocking".

I cheer for Wisconsin on the side, so obviously I want Wisconsin to beat Iowa.

That being said, I'm more concerned about ISU winning than I am about which top 10 team needs to lose so ISU can pick up some meaningless ranking.

Prepare for disaapointment. Was at the game 3 seasons ago when Iowa upset a top 5 team in Purdue on the final game of the season. It was loud, but nothing compared to Hilton.

It's only little brother because tavernhok doosh hok fan started the "little brother" thing to make themselves feel better but your validation of "little brother" actually meaning anything, i.e. your post above is the problem. It's a heated rivalry, that's it. I'm not going to try and impress hok fan by having a big think on if I'm being "little brotherish" when I make a post or have a conversation I'm just going to do what I want and what feels good, if my actions are construed as being "little brother" I don't give a **** labelers can **** right off.

This. 100%. You're supposed to hate rivals to the point of laughing at them as they cry. It's a rivarly, not a feel good jamboree. **** the Hawks.

The Hawk obsession on this board gets worse by the day...

Agreed....it's no wonder a lot of Cyclone fans are viewed as the dreaded "little brothers". Well earned moniker in many cases.

Tough one for me. I despise Iowa. Loathe them. Dry heave when I think about them.

However, I have an interesting work situation. The Iowa fans have been properly conditioned, so to say. I have never heard a single one talk **** in the last 4-5 years. I do, however, have a rogue Wisconsin fan to deal with. Said individual is a 'tavern' to boot. Doesn't even refer to them as Wisconsin, even though the office is in downtown DSM. They are referred to as the "Badgers"...all day. Drives me up the ******* wall.

Since we have already handled Iowa, we won't play Wisconsin unless in the tournament and I have to deal with this ***hat...in an otherwise sterile environment...I will be rooting for Iowa.

So you would find this annoying?

I don't really care much about UI/Wiscy, it'd be nice to see ISU in the top 10, but I'm not sure either outcome of W/I game would ensure it.

Well 3 years ago I don't think they were ranked?

But yes, I don't expect a Hilton environment but I assume it should still be a good gameday atmosphere - especially for Izzo and MSU. Have never watched Izzu/MSU in person so that's a key draw for me.

Could not agree more. This statement should be your profile sig.

Probably not since we played awful that game, but that doesn't take away the fact that they beat us. It's the same with TCU and Tech. Were they better than is or Kansas, no. Did they beat us and Kansas, yes. If we hadn't of played a second game they would have been able to say they were better even though it clearly wasn't right.

In a battle of the most white guys you'll see on court at once this year, I predict Iowa to pull off a narrow victory at the Kohl Center, which I'd be fine with. This game is a classic win/win situation.

Iowa winning helps our RPI. Honestly any team we play really, we should be rooting for when we don't play them... it behooves us come tournament time to be better. In big12 play it matters a little less and is more complicated, because everyone plays each other, but with non-con... it's mostly straight forward, we played them, we want them to look better on paper. So long as we aren't competing with them for a final spot in the tournament.

Yes. Definitely hope teams ISU defeated do as well as possible, and anyone those teams played, too — it gets a little more complicated, twice-removed, but teams like Villanova (via Iowa's loss), Notre Dame (via Iowa win), Stanford (via BYU road win), among many examples.

It doesn't mean anyone has to don Hawkeyes gear and root for Iowa — but boosts in their resume can help ours.

To shut up the "Fran is doing things the right way compared to Fred" crowd, I want Iowa to lose and miss the ncaa tournament.

ISU had made their own way so far, being undefeated and ranked for over a month now. The tournament committee has them in the cross hairs and has been taking notice of what they are doing this season.

Re: What would you want more? Top 10 rating on Monday or Iowa beating Wisc. on Sunda

BTW I can root for Iowa to win, or Iowa to lose.....root for me to find a bunch of money in an envelope on the sidewalk, or root for big boobied girls to come over tonight, etc, etc. At the end of the day what I root for doesn't make a damn bit of difference. Things will play out regardless of what anyone wants.

Re: What would you want more? Top 10 rating on Monday or Iowa beating Wisc. on Sunda

i want iowa to demolish wisc and jump isu in the rankings!

wait, i think i messed something up there.

how's about:

#4 Wisconsin loses to iowa
#6 Okie St. loses at ksu-check
#7 duke loses @ ND-check
#8 witchita st loses to uni (this one's a stretch but possible).
#10 oregon loses @ colorado
#11 loses to providence (providence is a solid squad, just had two tough losses against good opp.)

that should put isu in the top ten.

Re: What would you want more? Top 10 rating on Monday or Iowa beating Wisc. on Sunda
