    So... How Will the Game go?

    I don't believe Iowa has even one draftable TE this year.

    We are Unranked now

    You are in the minority apparently coz for some bizarre reason the consensus (I’m going by responses in other threads) is that cmc should treat this like an ordinary outing and grind it out.

    Historical opportunity with no downsides

    The goal of getting to the title game stands by itself and is not really impacted by losing to Iowa. In other words, if there is a time to swing for the fences, this game provides it. If cmc decides to grind it out and achieves a loss imo is opportunity lost for isu.

    Initial CyHawk Game Predictions

    I expect a high scoring game. isu wins this 34-24. Iowa has serious weakness in both lb and secondary levels and their QB is still the same inaccurate (unless it's against a patsy) thrower he's been for three years.

    Historical opportunity with no downsides

    The upcoming game against Iowa provides perhaps the biggest opportunity for isu in decades. The hardwork of the last two seasons is reflected in the top-25 ranking, gameday exposure amplifies this hugely, and the match-up is against the instate rival with big implications for future trajectory...

    James Daniels, second round draft pick out of Iowa,

    I was not aware of this. Kudos to the young man.

    James Daniels, second round draft pick out of Iowa,

    Who? Not doubting you at all but I would imagine iowa staff would like the guy particularly coz he is a OL to give due credit.

    James Daniels, second round draft pick out of Iowa,

    mentions his HS as Alma mater in nfl intro instead of Iowa. Hawkeye fans are quite disturbed about this since they believe Ferentz's stature as OL guru and the opportunity to play on Iowa's lines were instrumental in Daniels' success. Also I believe his ol coach at the time was none other than...

    Is Iowa's QB play really much improved?

    Iowa fans are over the top about Nathan Stanley's performance in their recent game. Granted he did what he had to do, but I believe the Hawkeyes are getting carried away. 70% completion rate at home against a mac team is merely making par when the OL was feasting on a overmatched DL and he had...

    Iowa arrogance

    Little doubt in my mind that Iowa fans will write off upcoming ISU improvements to superbowlitis but the joke will be on them. This game was the worst thing possible for Iowa. ISU played against a tough opponent, showed excellent nerves down the stretch, and CMC got everything he needs to...

    Should Iowa State add Nebraska to OOC?

    Agree with everything you wrote except for the bolded. The NE game would replace Iowa in alternating years. The objective is to expand local P5 rivalry without imposing an additional P5 game.

    Should Iowa State add Nebraska to OOC?

    These are rational points but they were lost in a bunch of namecalling in your previous post. If as you maintain Iowa-isu is a meaningless contest, CMC should indeed ignore it. But I disagree strongly. Imo, there is a lot of merit in expanding meaningful rivalries in this neighborhood as long...

    Should Iowa State add Nebraska to OOC?

    Wjat is the relevance of your diatribe with respect to replacing Iowa with NE in alternating years? Gather your wits. I'm just looking for a discussion while we wait for football to begin.

    Should Iowa State add Nebraska to OOC?

    No additional P5 games would get scheduled. Literally replace Iowa with NE in alternate years. Would that scenario work better than the current one? THat is what this thread is meant to discuss.

    Should Iowa State add Nebraska to OOC?

    ISU and NE both currently target a common foe leading to two separate rivalries both bitter and both involving Iowa. Both these rivalrieshave captured regional attention and are growing further in importance. There is no question that this exposure has recruiting implications as well. However...

    Will merely beating Iowa change the narrative or will their record matter?

    There appears to be sufficient data in this thread to indicate that one victory for isu is unlikely to change the narrative irrespective of Iowa's record but a thumping win could start the transformative process. While I don't disagree, this year provides a special opportunity to start a...

    Will merely beating Iowa change the narrative or will their record matter?

    You are right in that there are a couple heads who think Iowa will compete well also but majority think otherwise. On their boards there are links and references to (1) BTN folks casting doubts on personnel across the board (2) Multiple talking heads/experts picking them from middle of their...

    Will merely beating Iowa change the narrative or will their record matter?

    ISU defeating Iowa this year is looking increasingly probable if various reports and predictions are to be believed. The downside if there is one is that these reports indicate that this might not be one of Iowa's better teams, and it certainly not be if they finish near the bottom of their...

    Hawk fans gonna turn on Stanley

    That OSU beatdown was memorable He was good in that game but the opponent had rolled over dead midway through the 3rd. I'm specifically referring to games in which the opponent keeps punching back, i.e. keeps things uncomfortably close.
