Hawks - respect

So many people here are talking about not respecting their a-hole fan base. This isn't about their fans being douches. That's understood by pretty much everyone here.

Watching their D was like a Russian watching Rocky against Drago. You don't want the other guy to win, but damn, gotta respect the effort.

Naw.
 
Fans are just as bad today as they were yesterday, running to CF cause they are in the Rose Bowl, dissing Iowa State on social media:rolleyes:. When I think Hawk players, I just think Bielema. Then I wish CF had a vomit button.

Then there is all the respect they show opposing teams with their childish pink locker room.

I also don't respect their crime scene cover up head coach. Or their "my dad told the coach I should start or else" quarterback. So.....

I agree with you.

Also, to the OP... how many "respect - ISU" comments, posts, whatever from Hawk fans do you remember after MSU beat us in the Elite 8? For me it was mostly "hahahahahaha... Big 10.... Big 10.... Big 10.... lol!!!!"

Seriously oldman....
 
If they would ever stop playing games without that stupid ANF sticker I might think about rooting for them. Until that **** em.

I have a question for all the hawk fans pointing to how they "only" lost by 3. Does margin of victory matter or not? Iowa has crept by awful competition all season long long and all we ever heard was winning and losing is all that matters. Now that Iowa has finally played a team worth a crap and they lost, tell me, which one is it?

Well it mattered in the sense that it went against the narrative that the Paul Finebaums and David Pollack's of the world had created, which was that Iowa didn't belong on the same field as a team like Michigan State. I'm not saying that is makes it right or a correct interpretation, just that it is. Michigan State was deemed by the punditry to be one of the standard-bearer programs, against which a team could prove whether or not it belonged.

Iowa took advantage of an advantageous schedule, caught some breaks and had a season that this Hawkeye fan will never forget. At places like Iowa or Iowa State or any of the other non-elite places, you have to take advantage of opportunities for special seasons. This has been one of those times. Hope that they finish it off with a 13th win against a very good Stanford team.
 
The latest conversation piece I've had to endure is that the state of Iowa isn't big enough to support two Div. I schools. I thought there was some sort of punchline coming but they were serious. The idea that ISU should consider dropping to I-AA in football...I can't even finish that thought.

The margin definitely mattered, I agree. It was a game that could have gone either way.

That's just insane. No question we are a bad program, but there are a lot of P5 schools that are just as bad (Purdue or KU, anyone?).

Funny coming from Iowa fans as we're 10-10 over the past 2 decades. Are they the better program? Yes. 1-AA? GTFO.

Sure, if you actually beat them. Otherwise that means that Western Michigan, Purdue, Rutgers, and Nebraska, all belong as well. I guess the only difference would be that all of those teams had to play against Connor Cook and Iowa got to play 1/2 of Connor Cook.
