I'd personally like to see them treat every game - there's only 12- with the same emphasis, time and dedication to win. But if they really do ration their emphasis, which I doubt, then please put more emphasis on stopping Iowa from beating us 5x in a row.

I can see this approach in a non-football sport. In, say, basketball I can see one game mattering more than others. You have 30+ games to make your season. In football there is 12 games. Every loss is a big loss. Every win is a big win. I just refuse to believe that they "dont care about", and even if they did, I don't know what "not caring" looks like.
I don't think the "they don't care" should be attributed to any game. The concept of the leapfrogging is, a team like ISU or Iowa should be about to beat the LA-Monroes and UNIs on pure talent alone. It is kind of a job security maneuver at the beginning also. Campbell doesn't have the incentives that Kirk does/did. Kirk had incentives for a bowl game (basically 6 wins), a winning record (7 wins), and an 8 win season (obviously 8 wins). You win 7.5 games a season (where kirk is over his career) at a place like Iowa or ISU and they will reward you. Job security and incentive security.
That's how I can see some coaches putting extra emphasis on some over others. Campbells are set more for conference achievements. If you have a chance to make a 10-20%, or even 25-35%, for detailing in harder on 75% of your job, you probably will
So Campbell is purposefully sandbagging the Iowa game to keep expectations low?
Article 2/18/2020Maybe it's easier for you guys to understand it this way since a couple of you are hung up on the not caring thing. Campbell doesn't emphasize the in state rivalry game. Ferentz does. That's the difference

JON:
As we look at the 2020 season here, how big is the Iowa- Iowa State game for you guys as a staff?
COACH CAMPBELL:
Well, I think the the biggest thing I would say is obviously, you know, what that game means and obviously coming into this state and building our own program. I think you certainly understand the importance for both universities for both fan bases.

Your white flag is getting tons of use today. Thank you for admitting you are wrong. Have a good day.Lol oh God what's he supposed to say when asked that question?
Ferentz literally said without being asked that beating Iowa State was bigger than beating Ohio State. That's the difference
...and you think Kirk is doing the inverse of this? He's recruiting and scheming just to beat Iowa State? That's idiotic.
It matters to Campbell. It matters to Kirk. It matters to Clonefan32. It matters to Twins, who is the most Iowa obsessed Iowa State fan there is.
Genuinely you can't figure out the point? Come on. Be better than tryharderSo Campbell says that it is important to both fan bases......shocked I tell you, I'm shocked.
Honestly, you didn't think it was important for both fan bases or what was your point on the red underlined sentence?

What I believe is that you've convinced yourself of this to help you cope. I believe that in your mind this is reality. Most everyone else on both sides thinks differently than you.You really believe Campbell emphasizes the in state rivalry game like Ferentz does?
