Is Iowa really a rival anymore?

[roundball]

Here's the Merriam-Webster definition of a rival:

[h=2][SUP]1[/SUP]ri·val[/h] noun \ˈrī-vəl\: a person or thing that tries to defeat or be more successful than another
: something or someone that is as good or almost as good as another person or thing


The second one is not even close to being true, obviously, and we've certainly proven the first one in relevant history.

I think it's time we consider declassifying Iowa as a rival.

It will all cycle, they'll eventually fire Francis and hire somebody decent. May be a decade or two.

I hope this thread is a joke but sadly I don't think it is.

It's a very unsubtle attempt at trolling. Bad, too.

Also just fuels the little brother syndrome.

And forgetting last season it took late game heroics to win in Hilton and the season before Iowa won.

But, troll on, the obsessed must!

Rival - yes
threat - ah, no.

Had a really good conversation with a woman who was explaining how Louisiana Tech isn't rivals with Louisiana State because Louisiana State is just so much better at everything than Louisiana Tech.

I told her it's the same way with Iowa State-Iowa, but Iowa fans keep wanting to call it a rivalry.

You'd think if a woman could figure it out, we could too

Little jab here...little jab there. Harmless.

I dunno, he's the first coach that looks like he cared since Dr. Tom. If they replace him, they need a power 5 coach.

Id venture to say Iowa is just as important to some as isu is.

Sad that at a time where ISU MBB is at one of it's highest points ever some here are still obsessed with talking about Iowa.

I agree with you but it's the "rubber neck" syndrome. Can't help to slow down and look at the auto accident.

I think we all got it, just thought it was dumb and that you need to

False. Not unemployed.

This is accurate.

This also, true.

This is a lame attempt at strengthening a weak-*** post.

I refuse to like this, but it's true.

I'm sorry you're so upset. Internet message boards can be emotional sometimes.
