It's just as lame as when they always say "We play down to the competition" all the time. I think most Hawk fans are finally starting to realize they just aren't that good. What I've never understood is they say it's ISU's Super Bowl because fans want to win that game more than any other game (which isn't true for me or any other ISU fan I know, I'd much rather beat a good team). Since when did fans decide the outcome of a game?

However, the people who own this site are not scripting articles about it...
This is why it is bad when both fanbases are not excited about the product on the field. Fighting back and forth about why they may lose or have lost in the past. This thread should be about how Rudock is a girl and wears lacey panties to bed.
We lost to them 18 years in a row? It was 15 years and I hate it. It is all they have to hang their hat on. As we get further away from that streak the less relevance it has. We are getting to the point now that most kids in high school were not born yet when the streak ended. It has become folklore for their fan base.
I was at Kinnick last year when we won. The old dude behind me after Knott's pick stood up and shouted "Don't know why you guys are cheering, we beat you 15 straight years!" True story
This dude was probably 30 years older than me otherwise I would have. He also mentioned Hayden Fry wouldn't have called that play at least 10 times throughout the game
I know, just shows the absurdity of hawkeye delusion. If he truly wants to live in the past he should have been reminded of how the hawks had a losing season for over 20 years in a row shortly before their savior came to town.
Bottom line is BOTH fan bases and teams HATE to lose this game. Anyone who says otherwise is a flat out liar or is just a casual fan. It's not as big of a treat for ISUs to win as it was 10 years ago but it is still a great win. This year both teams really need this game to keep on schedule for a bowl game.
The "Superbowl" excuse if overplayed and lame. It is a coping mechanism for delusional Hawk fans to convince themselves that Iowa is still always better than ISU regardless of the final score.
I count exactly two upsets in the past fifteen years. Guess what, upsets happen, especially in rivalry games. Every other year, the team that won ISU/UI had the better record or was even at the end of the season. But don't let facts interfere with weak talkeye smack talk. For the record. Bookmark it, print it, copy it. Spread the word.

I am not going to crow about that until we do a better job of protecting Sam on Saturday than we did against UNI.

A Hawkeye friend of mine has a fun story about sitting by people like that. He and his brother turned it into "Run the touchdown play" to make fun of that (under their breath).
We all know that Haydey Fry only ran touchdown plays, so it works.
I'm curious in the last 15 years when ISU wins by 3-4 points--both teams finish 7-5, and ISU plays in a better conference, it's "ISU's SuperBowl" ??
where is the logic?
It comes from the late Jim Zippermouth Zabel, Bob Brooks, Jon Miller--and their legions of idiot followers.
and Hayden Fry.
The glorification of Fry by his media posse are likened to Obama and his media worshippers. the similarities are eerie
Oh, and the U of Iowa had a huge "BEAT STATE" pep rally last night. obsess much Hawk fans?

It's called Hawkeye Huddle, and we have them on Friday nights before every away game. But make the facts fit your obsession however you see fit, Jamby. Lol
