Ending Iowa's Dominance

Exactly. The dominance myth should have died years ago when you look at KF' record.
He has NFL speed. I would hope McCaffery (2015 Heisman runner up) would be better in open space than a MIKE LB. I dont recall Montgomery outside of one run being all that great in ‘17. Sure, Barkley made him miss a few times, but then again he was the best RB in the country last year. Your understanding and perspective when it comes to football seems very rudimentary and naive.
Look at their first 6 games then look at ours. Easy to see which is more likely to let fans puff out their chests. I don’t think there is a large talent difference between ISU and Iowa at all. I expect that anytime they beat us they should at least contend for a spot in the B1G title game as we will be one of the toughest teams they play.
Wrong year, point stlll remains.
Ask our right tackle if Nelson was fast enough yesterday to play in the big 12. And I'm pretty sure if you are good enough to make an NFL roster you are good enough to play in the B12. I might be wrong about other things but I am not wrong about that.
No it doesn’t. Different coach and everything. Very dumb statement.
They're going to do that anyway.
Back of the schedule has winnable games and if ISU's decent, they'll win a few of the next 5.
Not saying they won’t. Would never mentally concede any game. Just pointing out the likelihood.
Not really. Fresno is still a good football team and likely would beat teams in both leagues. Could argue that they’re a better program than ISU historically and over the last 25 years.
So ISU was the better team two years in a row and lost? Who are you, Aaron White?
Sucks losing to the Hawks, and sucks even more losing four in a row. They're a good program and they can point to the scoreboard and settle the argument pretty quickly about who is the "better team". All these nuanced arguments about who is more talented, who has the stronger schedule or who plays what style are a waste of time.
The good news is that the days are long gone when TOE success means ISU loses ground. It's not a zero sum game. ISU football has fans, resources and support like it never has before. We aren't part of the Big 10 West (thank God) and I don't give a crap what happens to hoks the rest of the season. I care about us fighting our way up the ranks in OUR league. I won't worry about Iowa again until we have to play them again next year.

I don't understand, he has Cy in his name
Recruiting Recruiting Recruiting and going to bowls every year to help with Recruiting. I have faith Campbell is building something big here, the greatest years are ahead of us.
It’s just one game - chill the F out. Iowa was favored for a reason.
And the school enrollment argument is a dumb one. UCF has had larger enrollment than Miami, Florida, and Florida State. Those 3 programs have multiple national titles and dozens of conference crowns. What’s UCF have? Same for Notre Dame, etc....

Over the last 11 it’s 8-3. That’s a positively Fran McCaffery-esque record against a rival. They’ve won 4 in a row. Let’s leave ancient history right where it belongs.
As I said earlier, dwelling on such streaks is pointless. What counts is creating and maintaining an upward trend in recruiting and in building a program. If CMC can do that, then the wins will come. Letting Hawk fans, like the OP, frame the way we view things is a mistake.
