Ending Iowa's Dominance

Actually thee CHOKE eyes have been dominating this series since 1983 and the Criner era....except of course for the 5 wins in a row that DannyMac pulled off.....I had to laugh at old and I mean OLD bob brooks who said..."I cant believe we aka chokeyes lost 5 games in a row to that ag school (refused to use our actual name) nobody loses 5 games to them"......It made my day er years like five of them boys......Go Cyclones
Exactly. I would say that ISU has dominated Iowa in basketball in the McCaffery era. Fran's 2-6 (25%) vs ISU in his career. Several incredibly close games and crazy ISU comebacks.
ISU is 3-8 in the last 11 (27%) vs Iowa in football with some incredibly close games and Iowa comebacks. It's a very, very, very similiar situation.
And Iowa fans who refuse to admit the bball dominance are as equally in denial. Doesn't mean that will hold true forever (likely won't in either sport), but that's what it is right now.
And it's crazy that lick had 1 less win in the series in 5 fewer years. Ouch.
For the record- CMC did leave a back in to (try to) help block Epenesa, and it didn’t work.
Espenesa blew by the line so fast it was a moot point of having a back to help.
We have several walk ons. Not many start. Our Oline is basically Iowans but not much else.
The few we do have grew up Oklahoma fans
This thread and the other 2,359 threads regarding the same thing is all the proof you need indicating the game is a big deal for both fanbases.
How is that different from what I said? How many outside the 3-4 on Oline started? No trolling, just stating that we have several Iowa kids as walk ons but outside of one position, I can't think of any starters.
I dont think we should be judging our OL performance by how well we blocked Epinesa. Not many defensive ends that quick off the edge that we will encounter.
He looks like he'd not only start on any team in FBS*, and would play if not start for NFL teams...
Pure skill and athleticism wise he was by far and away the best player on the field last Saturday.
*Except for some reason he doesn't start for Iowa. Perhaps that is by design so Iowa fans calm down before you get all triggered..
Just pointing out there are plenty of Iowa kids on the roster. I’m sure the game has just as much meaning for the ISU players as the Iowa players. To state otherwise is just an excuse.
Not directed at you, just a general observation
Disagree. The game is a big deal for us but a WAY bigger deal for the Hoks. Both players and fans. Isn't it strange that the Hok fans have a game this week against a totally different opponent, yet are still here today (Thursday before their next game) on CF talking about last week's game? Shouldn't they be back in their own pigsty, or at the very least over at the Panther forums? That tells you all you need to know.
Shouldn't you be at the Panther forums? It's the Thursday before the UNI game, yet you're here talking ISU? All of you Hok fans need help.
There is merit in your words, I don't go on Iowa's boards but I am guessing there isn't near as many ISU fans over on their boards as there are Iowa fans on this one.
Some are straight up sore winners, they know who they are, or are too dumb to realize it.
No matter how you slice it it is a big deal for both fanbases.
