(7-5) and Going Bowling
You don't have to ask them, some well spoken and informed ISU fans have already tried to help you out. I don't get on here to start personal quarrels or to make ISU fans feel bad, so I'm going to be the bigger man and be done with this silly Freddy Russell debate. -

(7-5) and Going Bowling
Yeah, that's why it's called a "rivalry game". In-state recruiting is linked heavily to that game plus it's usually Iowa's first test of the season, so it warrants extra focus. ISU as of recent has played very good football against Iowa. I could do my own legwork, but why not get the insider... -

You're a funny guy, friend-o. I'm not sure what games you were watching, but I don't ever once recall FR getting ran down from behind. 4.3 speed is 4.3 speed, if you call that slow than I expect ISU winning 9 games next year would probably make sense to you. -

No doubt SG was the total package, but I was pointing out that we will miss his trucking ability more than anything since JH has better speed. Sorry guys, I know this is about ISU, so how about you give us some highlights on some possible studs coming back next year so we can know who to look... -

It took me 2 mins to do some actual research and find his bio... "best time of 4.28 seconds in the 40-yard dash" Yeah buddy, that is SLOOOOOWWWWWWW... -

You're not very bright are you? Russell had countless HUGE runs in college and had a few big ones in the NFL (pre-season, but still against FAST players). We're talking 50+ yard TD runs. Russell was not slow by any means. It's all about who you lose, how many you lose, who is coming back, who... -

Like most college teams, Iowa loses impact players EVERY YEAR. This year it's Greene, Olsen & King. Fortunately, like most teams, Iowa has talent coming in to replace them. So while you lose 3 impact guys, you have over 14 guys coming back with a year of experience under their belt and will have... -

One other thing to consider is the prospect of a 3 win season. If players aren't buying in and things aren't clicking, that could easily happen. 2 conference wins and 3 out of 4 non-conference would be a good goal for this team at this point. 7 win seasons aren't as easy to come by as some of... -

The loss of King will be nothing more than losing any great player, but he is only one guy and fortunately we have 11 guys out there playing defense together. The fact is, the Iowa D will be BETTER next year, so you can't really say that King leaving will hurt. Now Shonn Greene will be noticed... -

9 or 10 wins wouldn't be "extreme", it would be asinine. 7 wins is extreme optimism. But since you seem so hell bent to convince everyone that 7 wins will happen, you should fly that one by your new head coach. I'd be willing to bet he'd tell you that would be very nice, but realistically they... -

So to get this straight, it is okay for ISU fans to bring up the "we lost 4 games by a narrow margin" argument, but when Iowa fans do it they are idiots? I'm just kidding, I know how it goes. Bottom line is whether ISU won 2 games or 5 this year, next year you have a new coach with new schemes... -

I will agree with you about Mizzou, but like we both said you'll have to get pressure on the new QB or it won't matter who he is. Nebraska's D will only continue to get better, losing seniors starters on the D for them is a good thing since Bo will have better more suited talent replacing them... -

I find it funny that some of you ISU fans are making fun of Hawk fans because you think we all think we're going to win a national championship every year. You couldn't be more wrong, however there was a time where we finished 8th in the nation 3 years straight so I think most professional... -

From a non-Cyclone fan's perspective, looking at your schedule I would say 5 wins is realistic, 7 wins is optimistic, and 9 wins is borderline insanity. The ISU team has speed and some young talent, which is key, but almost every good team has that. You need a good o-line and d-line if you're... -

hawkeye fans at UNLV game.
How is bringing up the Pitt game suppose to do anything when you lost to Iowa the week before? I would think it obvious that you should avoid trying to rub in a 1 point loss on the road when Iowa fans could easily come back with beating you by 12. You should want Iowa to win so that you don't... -

UNLV Comments
It looks like your boy LJ let the thugs of UNLV get the best of him when he lowered himself to their level and put the endzone hit on that guy. By a UNLV fan's own admission (above post) this team is nothing but a bunch of trash talking classless thugs... hopefully your AD will never schedule... -

Are you Cyclone fans or just pretenders?
There is a reason ISU keeps getting to the redzone and stalling against Iowa, it's Norm Parker's "bend don't break" defense. I'm not a big fan of it as it gives me heart attacks on a regular basis, but it tends to work. The best way to beat it is to be able to grind out RZ yards on the ground... -

I mean the special teams in general, not just your kicker. Iowa's KO & punt coverage has been nails all year and their punter is all conference quality. I wouldn't put either of our kickers above yours, I think he just had a bad game. I'd take either of your QBs though, ours can't seem to be... -

I'm not sure if we watched the same game on Saturday, but there were an equal amount of mistakes and missed opportunities by both teams. I would say that Iowa & ISU's offenses are around the same level (your passing game is higher & our running game is higher), but Iowa's D & special teams is...
