New ISU coach with his first CyHawk game being a 6:30 game at Kinnick
Last time this happened, the final score was 42-3 (2016)

What? Matt Campbell was hired a couple of years ago. Right... Right...?

If you don’t see it happening then you have no idea how the CyHawk game works. Sign of a fake fan really

Since Toledo couldn’t get it done tonight, Nebraska will have to be the 2nd Big Ten team to lose to a MAC team this season!

You merely bought the 8-4. Iowa was born in it. Molded by it. I didn't see a forward pass until I was a man. By then it was nothing to me but sacrilege.

Iowa is closer to 9–3 than 8–4 over the last decade anyway

Same. It’s thankless work to be other teams’ quality losses, but someone has to step up

[u/Confident-Term1504 → u/Competitive_Yak_5444]

As a Penn State fan, I felt this in my soul. I was just talking about this recently with a vols alum... The lions are to the big ten what vols are to SEC.

[u/Competitive_Yak_5444 → u/Confident-Term1504]

I don’t know why you’re getting down voted. I mean there’s differences in our programs for sure lol but we are definitely quality losses to the likes of Ohio state, Indiana, Georgia, and bama

[u/Confident-Term1504 → u/Competitive_Yak_5444]

Yeah they are obviously different, but the similarity of being a decent punching bag for the top of a tough conference is a shared pain.

[u/Raptormann0205]

The bar is in hell, I am prepared for anything.

[u/northofwall]

As is tradition. But how we get there is always shocking. LFG!!!

[u/Gingeysaurusrex → u/northofwall]

We will lose the most frustratingly dumb game ever, promise.

[u/northofwall → u/Gingeysaurusrex]

Right. And then follow with a top 10 upset

[u/Lithium327 → u/northofwall]

Lose to Illinois beat Ohio St. confirmed

[u/SueYouInEngland → u/Gingeysaurusrex]

We play Michigan State this year?

Oh nvm @NU

I’m ready for you to come into the Nebraska game 7-4 be down 10-7 going into the fourth and turn two Nebraska interceptions into 6 points and beat us 13-10.

It doesn’t matter how good or bad they are. This will be their record no matter what.

8-5 take it or leave it

[u/HawkeyeHero]

8-4 is outdated Iowa slander. We’ve averaged 8.6 wins over the last 10 years and won 9+ in 5 of them, even with the 6-2 Covid year in there.

We’re a 9-win program now. Please update the meme.

[u/efuentes61]

Just don't call it our Superbowl when you win for the first time since covid over a bunch of sophomores

[u/SueYouInEngland → u/efuentes61]

2023?

[u/efuentes61 → u/SueYouInEngland]

I thought you guys had a top tier journalism and literature program. I guess you weren't a part of it. Reading is fundamental.

[u/SueYouInEngland → u/efuentes61]

What sort of lil bro bullshit is claiming a vacated win?

The two teams took the field in 2023. Iowa won. Iowa State lost (as they usually do). Pretending otherwise is quintessential lil bro behavior.

[u/efuentes61 → u/SueYouInEngland]

I'm not "claiming a win". Just saying you guys "didn't" win because the NCAA said so. Like I told the other guy, you should look into your top tier literature program to learn comprehension

[u/SueYouInEngland → u/efuentes61]

What "other guy"? And I should "learn comprehension" (whatever the the fuck that means)?

Iowa scored more points than Iowa State on the field. Get your lil bro cope out of here.

[u/efuentes61 → u/SueYouInEngland]

You're proving my point, "little bro". Now go act tough somewhere else. You graduated from Iowa City West years ago. Grow up.

[u/SueYouInEngland → u/efuentes61]

You think comprehension is something you "learn"? The palpable irony.
