So a trophy means a rivalry? I dont think Michigan considers Minnesota a rival.

KSU just recently beat ISU 10 straight times until the 2018 game. There has to be some competitiveness to be considered a rivalry, IMO.

ISU and Nebraska rivals? Dont even know where to start with that one.
All 10 of those games were decided by one score. ISU leads the all time series too. Man Iowa State just can't have nice things can they? Gameday comes to Ames = Iowa fans claiming they're coming to watch the Hawkeyes. Iowa State has other rivals = Iowa fans lecturing Iowa State fans that they actually aren't rivals.

In fairness, Iowa fan's are not saying they're coming to watch Iowa. We know that, really. Iowa fans are saying they wouldn't be showing up without Iowa. They're coming because both teams were expected to be good/ranked and it's the state's biggest game. There is a reason they are showing up this week, and not one of the other games on the schedule.

KSU won 41-7 in 2013.

Again, I am not lecturing you. Someone disagreeing with you doesnt mean you are being lectured.
 
What are the poll results at now. Since I haven't voted yet, just wondering if I'm wasting my vote or not.

I've seen quite a few people, particularly on Twitter, saying that Gameday is there because of Iowa. But yes, this is a perfect opportunity for Gameday to visit Iowa State. Rivalry game, nice weather, historic team vs. an up and coming team, etc.

Man I'm starting to like you.

If people are really claiming it has 100% to do with Iowa, they're very stupid, which is why they're posting it on Twitter.
 
I'm starting to question the validity of this poll. There is almost the exact same question on HR and it has very different results. Although it isn't a poll, I didn't read one single poster that would rather beat ISU than win the West.

Crazy that two sites could have exact opposite results.

Comparing an actual poll to someone having to post their thoughts to the public? Lol!

Look I don't like Iowa but they definitely have history to them. Lol

I question the validity of this poll also. We're only getting a small percentage of your fanbase that can read.
