If a tree falls in the forest, does it make a noise?
Which came first, the chicken or the egg?
Did UNI lose the game or did ISU win the game?

It's a matter of perspective.

Does it really matter?

Yes, statistically, UNI should have been competitive against ISU last fall. The score says otherwise. We lost, and lost by 27. Life goes on.

Will the same happen this fall, I doubt it. UNI is a different team than last fall. ISU is a different team from last fall. Yes, some of the same players return, but they return with another year under the belt. This is a different game.

This is the most reasonable and intelligent post in this thread so far.

I can acknowledge that UNI was turnover prone, if you can acknowledge that ISU had a propensity to force them.

I'm not sure if my past points were necessarily to say that ISU shouldn't have forced those turnovers, but more so that those turnovers are the reason the score was so lopsided and why it would appear that UNI ran into a defensive stalwart. I could agree with your statement all day, but the statement I was trying to dispel was that UNI's problems at hanging onto the ball cost them a lot of momentum and probably gave ISU as many points as it took away for the Panthers. I think I was also trying to point out that the Hawks are lame and 9YR is a douche....

This should be a solid warmup game for ISU, nothing more.

I agree 100%...that is exactly what it "should" be.

have you ever tried not being a total tool who talks in definitives that have little to do with the argument you're in? No? Didn't think so. Most hawkeye fans can't.

wtf?????????????????

Irony:

Talking **** about a defense that shut you out the previous season, while scoring 2 defensive TDs in the process.

I'm not saying ISU has a great defense, or even a better than average one, but for UNI fans to be ripping ISU's defense at this point is like ISU ripping Oklahoma's.

You do realize the ripping is happening on a UNI board & not a clown board...right?

Huh. I thought this was an ISU board.

You won't be finding me posting about how ISU just gave Iowa last year's game over on Cyclone Fanatic. I guess I assume a certain amount of rationality out of real UNI fans (you know, the ones that aren't Hawk fans who occasionally wear purple).

I think we will know much about the whole game (and season) from the first set of downs for each team.

Re: Can the Panthers take down ISU on Sep 3rd?

all the arguing about how competitive UNI was against ISU last year kind of reminds me of the spiel that certain NDSU fans go into in relation to games where the Bison ended up on the losing end according to the scoreboard.

C'mon Panther fans. Some of us are sounding like some co-workers I have. You might know the type. They're the Cyclone fans who say they would've, could've, should've, might've been in a good bowl game if they didn't completely screw up in four of their games. UNI screwed up last year in the ISU game. Leave the would've, could've, should've, etc where it belongs...in Ames.

why? why aren't you asking the clown fan to stop? Are you a clown too?

mudra, i wish you would take your obvious love and loyalty for UNI and channel it into actual contributions to this board. i am guessing that you probably have some worthwhile thoughts somewhere within that bat**** crazy head of yours.

This x 50 billion.

You make the rest of us look like bitter, bitter people. We get that you are a UNI-only guy, as are many of us. Talk up UNI, not down at Iowa or Iowa State. Their fans being on the board just means we are more relevant than we have been in the past. Its a good thing...
