I do still think Iowa will have a very good team this year, and hope the best for them, but how 'bout you show a little respect as well.
Ease up on the arrogance for your team and the premature disrespect of your opponent.

Great game by your Clones ISU Jeff. The Hawks made mistake after mistake and ISU made them pay for each and every one of them. Desire was clearly much greater by ISU. When the Hawks were marching for a score to bring it within 7 in the second half the ISU DB literally ripped the ball out of the Hawk receiver's hands. Will to win. ISU came to play and dictated the outcome by controlling the trenches.
To be accurate my quote was something like" on paper the Hawks should win this one 45-7 but when these two teams play anything can happen." From a talent perspective there is no reason ISU should have been within 40 points of the Hawks but that's what makes in-state rivalries so damn unpredictable.
It's neither arrogant or disrespectful to expect a team that has finished in the top ten for the last three years, is coming off a major bowl victory over LSU, and is currently ranked 8 in the country to thump a team that has not finished in the top twenty twice in the last 10 years and is currently unranked.
Again, props to ISU and their fans. You have in-state bragging rights for the year.
Damn, my Broncos got whipped, my Hawks lost to Moo-U, and I lost my opening Fantasy game(thanks Trent Green for that stellar 2 point performance). Anybody wanna' kick my dog?
