I don’t really think Wisconsin even considers them a rival. The have only lost once to Iowa in the last decade.
It's sort of like ISU-KSU though. There's been great games in these two rivalries throughout the years and one team has come out on top a lot more than the other. Still rivals, however saying they're more of a rival than Iowa State is ridiculous.

Yea I mainly just said that cause according to Iowa fans, it can’t be a rivalry if the series is lopsided the last 10 years.
 
Wisconsin
Minnesota


Nebraska







Iowa State

Wisconsin is the biggest game on the schedule in my book.

I would rank them as this:

Wisconsin
Northwestern
Purdue
Michigan
PSU
Minnesota
Nebraska
Illinois
Rutgers
ISU
Miami of Ohio
MTSU

to bad the Iowa football program doesn't feel that way. Hayden Fry laid down the foundation and philosophy and that is the top priority for Iowa football is to dominate the state first and foremost. This whole the ISU game isn't as important as the big 10 is an Iowa fan myth, the fact is, it is the opposite, and there is nothing wrong with that. It was an important enough game for Iowa that they played the ISU fight song in the football complex to whole off season a couple of years ago.
 
This is 1000% true. If we had discussions about Iowa with just Iowa State fans, these threads would be minuscule compared to what they are currently. The back and forth banter is what blows these things up.
Hey @BLHawk I don't know why you rated this optimistic, but you're the guy who essentially 24/7 posts on a rival's message boards, and then goes and says you don't care about Iowa State and that Iowa State isn't truly a rival. It's absolutely hilarious. Keep doing you buddy.
