I still don't get why Cyclone fans come on this board, at all.
The same god damn reason Hack fans come on our board.
My god you hawk fans get all ButtHurt over something so minor.
In my opinion you have every right to b!tch about those fans that come over and do nothing but ruin your boards.....just as you ruin these....I can tell you one thing, you won't see me posting on an ISU board, just being a d!ck and p!ssing people off.....I save that for the liberals on the politics board, right Vin?
Chris Williams tweeted making it sound like the conference wants this to be a rivalry. He doesn't like it and I agree with him. You can't just force a rivalry. However, when they announced this would be nationally televised on ABC, I'm all for ISU getting on tier 1 television as much as possible.Is this a one time thing for ISU & WV, or is the B12 making them new "rivals"? Neither team has an actual natural rival, and both sit out on 'islands' not actually bordering other conference states.

You mean... just like the B1G made Nebraska and Iowa rivals?
Not really. Iowa & Neb are border states, and have a history of playing each other, and a natural degree of animosity & rivalry between the two fanbases. Just look at how many Nebbies trolled the Hawk boards forever before they joined the conference, and the degree of hate/disdain many western Iowans have for the Neb.
Now ISU & WV have no mutual history at all, they do not border each other, and their fans never thought of each other at all before...maybe this announcement occurred? But like I said, they would make good rivals on two points:
1. They may not border each other, but they also do not border any other B12 states.
2. No B12 schools would consider either one a rival.

Wait Iowa and Nebraska have history? They have played 2 times in 12 years and in 27 games all together, Iowa has only won 12. The last two times they have met, the games have been all Nebraska. Ok you got the border but that doesnt mean its a rivalry game. Wisconsin borders Illinois, is NW and Illinois rivals of Wisconsin? No. Ohio borders Indiana, is OSU rivals with Indiana and Purdue? No. Nebraska's fans are arrogant they will never lower themselves to believe petty Iowa (their opinion) will be a true rival. They think teams with national championships can only be their rivals.

whole lot of TVs being switched off after game 1
Ken Miller picked the Clones to beat Iowa in 2010. Need I say more?
BCS Championship - 9/1/2012 12:00 PM (EST)
West Virginia +4750
Nebraska +6500
Iowa +30000
Iowa State +100000
Cant be too bad if they keep ending up on national tv, have YouTube clips that go viral, players listed all over on watch lists (not just Knott and Klein) and on All American lists, and end up at the ESPY's.Listening to ISUer and his progeny trying to justify their existence has grown so tiresome. ISU is a bottom tier BCS program that scrambles for the scraps of recruits, fans, attention, etc. leftover by Iowa. This will not change no matter how much you or your coach scream "Look at me!".
You should have left this part out. 15-12 is pretty close.

Hell even our soon to be backup running back this season is on the Doak Walker watch list.Saying they have players listed all over on watch lists and all american lists is a bit of a stretch.
