Congratulations

Thanks, now here's what I say. **** Iowa. They'll probably come back to Earth and barely beat Drake Saturday. Iowa fans are the worst. It's not just the fans, it's the athletic dept, media and the entire Big 10. Talk about arrogant ********. Have a nice night.

Yes......but you are them. Everything you said is you. All you have to do is read your own post. It is the pot and kettle. The funniest thing is listening to Iowa fans talk about you saying the exact same thing, not wanting to see that they, too, are the same. Anyway enjoy your hate. I doubt you get it. Yelling at yourself in the mirror would be as useful since you embody everything you hate. Go Clones, Go Hawks! You are the better team.
 
Iowa needs to have someone step up to claim the role of closer. They look scared at the end of games. ISU has many closers fortunately. If someone consistently claims that role for the Hawks, they can do some damage.

I agree 100%. Iowa is a good team, but played scared at the end. Credit to Thomas for second half D on Utoff.

Meh, my complaints towards Iowa fans stem almost 100% from the jackholes that visit this board and somehow act like we should give them respect here. Present company included.

Not quite sure what happens on Hawkeye boards, since I've never visited one, but it never ceases to amaze me the number of Hawks that come here to slap us in the face. Typical Hawk arrogance. Thanks for not disappointing.

Exactly. Monte, Georges, and Naz are proven closers. And I wouldn't hesitate to let Nader or Matt take a shot on a given night. Jok seems to have the attitude, but they don't seem to want to give him the ball. Uthoff was clearly hesitant in the 2nd half after he (finally) missed a few shots.
 
So you think all top 10 teams are supposed to blow out non ranked teams all the time?

There is a reason the spread was 5.5 when it first came out. The difference between these two teams is not as much as you think.
 
Not sure what I'm missing here. Seemed like a pretty respectful Hawk post. Iowa can be good, but Uthoff has to make it his team like White did in the past. Absolutely disappeared in the 2nd half. Lot of that was Matt's defense, but still, 2 points?!?

You must have missed the majority of the post where he said we're all ****** people.

I've said it before, but I've never seen someone so good as Uthoff that is absolutely terrified to have the ball in his hands the last five minutes of a game. Whatever the opposite of a killer instinct is, that's what he's got.

One, I'm not arrogant about ISU. Not even close to the arrogance of Iowa fans with everything Iowa.

Two, I'm not trolling an Iowa board pretending to be nice.

I think you should look in the mirror yourself.


**** Iowa.
 
I think Iowa is prob a top 25 team. They will live and die off Jok and Uthoff 3's all year though. No one else outside those two are real threats offensively...no one. But those two could carry them a ways. BIG outside of 3-4 teams is incredibly average to bad to horrid. Iowa has a legit shot at finishing in top 3-4 in conf so long as those two are on. What makes Isu a better team and a Top 10 team IMO is any one of Naing, McKay, Naz, Morris, or Nader can go off on any given night..and MT for that matter. McKay is prob least likely beciase he doesn't shoot threes. But this Isu team..as out of sync as they were for about 25 minutes tonight can be a great team if they focus.

One thing is for sure..this team doesn't panick.
 
I don't know whether Iowa is a top 20 team or not. What I do know is ISU is the #4/#2 team in the nation, so ISU has a gigantic target on its back. Add in the fact that a lot of people think ISU doesn't deserve that ranking and they have a target with blinking LED lights on their backs. The bottom line is we're going to get everyone's best shot every evening. Add in the fact that it's a decent Iowa team, upset about Niang has trolled them the last several years, definitely of the opinion we're overrated, and out on a mission not just to prove they're a legitimate team but wanting to take out it's biggest rival, well, tonight was a perfect storm for what happened.

I guess I don't understand why people don't think they deserve that rank. Who below them does?
 
Have to give credit where credit is due. Every player on their team, and their coach, was respectful and complimentary of our team before and after the game. I saw a few postgame interviews and was impressed, as that had to be very, very tough.

Almost makes me not hate them.
 
Yeah, what's up with this "You don't sweat much for a fat girl" way of complimenting your opponent? I find it hilarious to read "You're not a number four team" because that's exactly how I feel regarding the Iowa football team's ranking.

So, no. If you are sincere about your congratulations, leave the negativity out of your assessment or STFU.

Look. Here's how it's done correctly:

You won. Congratulations!
