Graham Couch: Iowa Basketball is a mid-major roster

The hawkeye hate is strong here. I understand it because you are ISU fans, but it sure is strong. Hard to even have a civil discussion without bashing of players, former players, coaches, and their families. Why is that the case. I am being serious.

You can't undo thousands of troll posts from a few users over dozens of accounts with two serious posts from one of the troll accounts.
 
This is correct. Their biggest rival is still MU but since they left it is KState.
Saying KU and ISU are rivals is like saying Iowa and Nebraska are rivals. There has to be two sides to it.
half of my dads side of the family went to Kansas and they hate Iowa State more than K State. I'm not saying that is everyone, but there is a strong disdain for Iowa State because of the ability we have had to essentially split our meetings with them over the past 5 years or so.

Kansas fans get the most worked up on twitter when debating with Iowa State fans, from what I can tell. We will never be a Mizzou-type rival to them, but in basketball they circle our games.
 
It is really that deep of hate? why? why cant both school promote farming? how is it not easy to make fun of ISU coaches and their slogans and sayings over the years? Big 10 is far from completely overrated on the national landscape. And no, not all hawkeye fans went to the school. I didnt, but I could have. I chose to root for them growing up. I still do. Also, my wife did not go to ISU, but she is an ISU fan. On the National level, Iowa is in fact recognized. And what is wrong with that? For years I have heard ISU fans argue about being a real fan because I went there? If that was the case, no one would root for ISU outside of the state of Iowa ever. IS that waht you want?

I do not hate ISU, or their coaches, or most of their fans, but the vocal minority make it hard to keep a level head.
 
In all seriousness, I would imagine they would say KSU before ISU. just due to the instate

Everyone is KU's rival in that respect. I know some KU fans that say ISU is their most hated team due to the (relatively speaking) success ISU has had vs KU. Due to 3 out of 4 conference tourney titles, breaking their home win streak, etc.

But in terms of the undisputed #1 rival, anyone that says its not ISU vs Iowa from either side is flat out lying, whether they realize their lie or not.

I wonder why Liddell took such a hit?
247 loves them some Carton and Lewis. Both top 25 5 star guards now.

I live in Kansas City so I'm surrounded by KU fans. My younger brother went to KU for his undergrad. Trust me, KU absolutely hates Iowa State and in basketball for sure they are worried about us more than anyone else in the Big 12.
 
Will Patrick even end up being a top 100 kid when it's all said and done?

Outside shot that he moves out. Always depends on who explodes during the summer months, but he's trending in the wrong direction for sure.

I know the talk is he's been individually very underwhelming so far for his new AAU team
