I think it will be a toss up. Playing at Jack Trice gives ISU the advantage and we should know by now that talent doesn't always mean victories.
Thought leadership.
1-They weren't defending any longer. That ship sailed.Beating the defending national champs loaded with NFL talent or getting worked by Tulsa, Rutgers and nearly by a 6-6 Minnesota team........Yeah, I get the logic in that comparison.
2-I was simply mirroring the logic of "if so and so didn't make that one play". I get your point his point was silly.

Iowa is a historic slow starting team? Lots of inconsistency early in most seasons it seems.
Off the top of my head...
Orange bowl team barely beat UNI, who didn't go to the FCS playoffs.
3 point win vs Arky state?
Goaline stand to beat mediocre Syracuse team.
Pitt was dismantling Iowa for 3 qtrs before a huge spirited comeback.
The debaclle in the desert back in 04(?)
Lost @ Pitt in 08.
Hawks 1st half meltdown vs Arizona in 2010 costing them a W.
Iowa is rankled with quite a few other head scratchers in the non con over the years.

If ISU wins next year, it'll be close. Their wins in this series (at least since 1998) have generally been of that variety, save for 2005. If we're going to use the 2009 and 2010 games to define an ***-kicking, ISU (in general) doesn't do that against Iowa, regardless of venue.
If Iowa wins, history since 1998 tells us that the margin of victory will be somewhere around 14 points. The games Iowa wins in this series usually aren't close affairs, regardless of venue.

This is a funny thread. ISU wins this fall. Iowa needs an OC and their DC hasn't proven he is worthy of holding Norm's jock.
Kirk is nothing without Norm saving the day by great defensive coaching.

Well, it happened again just today.
Talked to a clone fan and they admitted they'll only win 3 games this year.
If Iowa does not beat ISU this year, well, what can I say?

I don't know why you think a Clone fan saying something is news.
Iowa and ISU will be close- they are both very bad teams. ISU probably wins at home, when Rhoads(sp?) does something bold that Kirk would never think of. Like not punting from the 35.

I have about exhausted every thought I have on this topic. Not sure what else I can add to it without repeating myself again and again. Read my previous posts if you want my answers as to why I strongly believe Iowa will win.

What if Iowa isn't very bad next year though?
So listening to a fan is a basis for your prediction? Want to make some bets next fall?

1. No, it's more of a confirmation than anything.
2. Yes, I am willing to wager that Iowa wins this fall.

I think that's a double negative?

DICTIONARY

1.
use of two negatives: a phrase containing two negatives
Word Usage
Double negatives of the type I don't know nothing, in which two negatives close together are intended to reinforce each other, are considered illiterate in current standard English, acceptable though they were in earlier usage. These are to be distinguished from the acceptable, if somewhat uncommon, construction That's not a good idea, I don't think, in which the reinforcing negatives appear in different clauses. The more usual type of acceptable double negative is seen in It is not impossible (= it is distinctly possible), in which the negatives are intended to cancel each other out. This is a figure of speech called litotes, a form of understatement.

Iowa will win this fall in what sport? You can't be serious about football.
