Everyone down on Iowa...I love it!

Everyone seems to be poo pooing Iowa and talking like ISU is the second coming of USC after their dominating home win against national power Tulsa. Have seen it posted in the media that this game could be a rout by ISU. I absolutely love it, I bathe in it, I drink it in like a milkshake.
 
It is interesting how they all seem to be gloating over how bad they will beat Iowa by on Saturday. I don't recall us gloating over how bad we will beat ISU by back in 2009 or 2010. Those games going into them were scary as hell in my book, even though we had the appearance as being good. Although we all know how those turned out...

It is incredibly hard to win on the road in college football against better or comparible teams. If ISU is going to win on Saturday, they have to be prepared for four quarters of turnover-less, perfect football. I just don't see them doing this in their first difficult road test of the season.

Loved the KCCI headline "Can Iowa beat ISU this weekend?"

I now have a new phrase to add to my vernacular.
 
We'll just look all the better when we win big. I really think this could be a 28 pt. win in IA City. Go Hawks. ISU SUCKS!

I love headlines like this. "No, it's absolutely, 100% impossible that Iowa beats Iowa State on Saturday." Really?

OF COURSE Iowa can beat ISU. In fact, although I won't be shocked if Iowa loses, I like to think it's likely they win since the game is being played in Kinnick.

Bet let's not make it out like ISU football is some unstoppable force where Iowa has "no chance" of winning. Stupid.

I think it is funny that ISU basically scores a lat TD to make the game look like it was an easier win than it was and everyone is talking about how good they looked. They were at home and beat a team they should have beat. Tulsa was only down 8 with the ball with about 5 minutes left. That is a pretty close game.

I dont think anyone is any more 'down' on Iowa based off their close win.

Most outsiders see a 7-6 team from last year that lost quite a few guys to the NFL. I dont think it really has much to do with the NIU game.

As far as ISU, nobody really has any idea what to think. We know this is a team that can't put up much for points without turnover help. As ISU fans we just hope that we can grab enough turnovers. If not, gonna be a long day in Kinnick. The ISU offense simply lacks power to consistently make big plays against big teams. The ISU defensive front 4 is pretty weak.

This is a huge game for ISU, and I hope they come out that way. Its our second easiest road game, and one that they will need to have to even sniff a bowl game.

Basically all of the local media I have read/heard does not reflect this. I would say the majority of folks think ISU is going to win this game. That wasn't the case a week ago.

Sarcasm my friend. With everyone talking about how ISU is going to win this game, Iowa winning would be an upset.

No, its because you are a clown troll. Many of your posts have some knock on Iowa in favor of the clowns, Wisky, Mich. St. I have pointed this out before. Its very obvious. The "Hawkeye" in your name is the major tell.
