Cy Hawk Rivalry

Have you seen the number of people that follow Hawkeye Heaven?

No, I dont follow them or look at their page so wouldnt have a clue.

Not sure what conclusion you can draw though by the number of people that follow a FB or Twitter page and how that relates to Iowa fans feelings towards the ISU program.
 
But I am not talking about outsiders, the people saying it are Iowa fans. Its almost like a badge of courage over there that they never watch an ISU game other than when they play Iowa. Like its somehow beneath them to watch one of our games. I watch Iowa when I am not either at the ISU game or they are not on TV, now I do root for the other team, but I do watch.

They don't watch us but they are experts on us. It's quite the trick.

Well that Facebook and Twitter page has a lot of follower and the history of their publisher, and how has stolen legit media articles, photos, etc, and it still hasn't phased their support of it.
They also regularly post things about ISU with a lot of support, and typically its to make fun. I get it, rivalries can be like that. But that page with its leaders and followers is alarmingly high with the support it gets.

If you are like me and have Iowa fans as "friends" or "followers" you will also see shares of posts from HH and wonder, WTF are you following that page, I thought you were normal?!

My favorite is when they try to make fun of ISU but get fired from their construction job in the process. Good times.

One of the McAninch kids comments a lot online too, and its fine that he supports Iowa, but its like (E)Squires stupid level sometimes.
 
I think Iowa will be pretty good this year. Both teams have question marks, mainly Iowa at QB, RB, TE, WR and LB and us at OL, RB and CB but to think either team is going to be bad is dumb

General talking pieces that I hear from Hawk fans and B1G fans regarding anything ISU:
-inferior school.
-inferior conference.
-Big 12 doesn't play defense in football or basketball.
-Iowa State plays their best game vs. Iowa.

Meanwhile, things like the B1G 'game of the century' showcased on the BTN the other day is a shoot out between MI and OSU in 2006, and Ohio State wins the conference with a porous defense and Iowa players call a strong passing game 'chuck ball'.
 
Nebraska at 20-1 while Washington is at 50-1? Wow.

Is Michigan State sliding back enough now not to be considered a player?

Nebraska is 30/1 but your point still stands.

I hope MSU slides back to the John L. Smith era. Roadies against Wisky, OSU and UM probably have something to do with their odds being longer than 100/1.

You missed moo-u (or even dumber) while slapping an ANF sticker on helmets.

So you don't think Campbell is better than Paul Rhoads?

I don’t know if he is or not. Isu fans were sure Chizik and Rhoads were going to over take Iowa and they didn’t. CMC hasn’t either. So far he has delivered back to back 8-5 seasons. We will just have to wait and see.

The followers don't give a crap where the info comes from and if the dude running the page is an a-hole or not.

Just like a lemming doesn't give a crap if the lemming in front of him went off the cliff. Stupid is tough to overcome.

I'm not going to speak for all of our fans, but I'm not worried about "over taking Iowa." I'm concerned with hanging onto a coach that seems to be a commodity, and hope he can establish and maintain consistency like Bill Snyder or Mike Gundy.

It was pretty clear by year 2 that Chizik wasn't going to do much.

CPR at least won a few games but by year 5 many were ready for a change.

Not sure where you're getting it that ISU fans were 'sure' ISU was going to 'over take' Iowa or when that's even been a goal but the relentlessness of Hokdom lives strong in many.
