Panther statesman; nice name loser. If you are agreeing that UNI is an fcs school with fcs talent and ISU is a BCS school with BCS talent then from what delusional reefer are you smoking that would make you think that talent is the deciding factor. ISU may not be florida State when it comes to recruiting but lets be honest you essentially get your big brothers (ISU and IOWA's) sloppy and i mean SLOPPY! seconds. if you are good at all this year it really has to do with good coaching not talent. Peace.

Pretty lame even for a troll. Good luck with puberty.

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

Nebraska beat ISU 35-7 in 2008 (28 pt differential). In 2009, ISU beats Nebraska. Different seasons can yield different results. *shrug*

And no rational ISU fan was calling for a victory before it.

I've never said UNI can't win. I just don't understand the mind set of someone who is honestly picking a UNI win, and what they're basing it off unless it's a classic "homer" pick.

I thought Texas would pummel ISU last year, and that Iowa would clobber Minnesota. Upsets happen constantly, and that's why you play the game. I'm just talking about making predictions off of what we know.

Those hills just annoy the heck out of me though, its something I can never get over when I go to JTS. It's helps cement what 9yr about it being a "high school" venue (although not to that extreme), it just doesn't seem like Big XII football. I'll give JTS credit that as long as you aren't on a hill, there really isn't a bad seat in the house.

BUT, the buzz I get from my friends in Ames is still about that damn scoreboard. Not the team that was one silly mistake away from beating Texas and Nebraska in the same season, for the first time in...maybe ever. Nothing about Steele Jantz and AJ Klein or even about Grant Mahoney sinking away into irrelevancy (not that he was the greatest kicker of all-time).

WHATSUPA WITH THAT?!?!?!



Jason Sudeikis...anyone??

And indoor football annoys the heck out of me.

I'd love to see UNI with a new facility that was configured like Drake Stadium. If that day ever came, I'd definitely want to take in a game there.

Off of what we know, I assume you mean based off of last year's results which really don't tell us anything about this year but here goes:

If UNI doesn't turn the ball over 5 times and fall for a fake field goal, the score is within double digits.

If UNI is +2 in turnover margin, UNI wins.

Iowa State will NOT overwhelm UNI with superior athletic talent or put us in awe with their massive crowd or scoreboard or bird mascot. The play on the field will be be pretty even and the outcome will depend on who makes the fewer mistakes and/or is able to capitalize on the others' mistakes.

This is just mind numbing. I expect homerism, but to honestly expect UNI to win this game is just hilarious.

Maybe comparing the talent that UNI has back to the talent ISU has back. Or the fact that in the last 3 meetings UNI had a double digit win and a one point loss.

I can understand how an Iowa State fan is numb in the mind....

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

I bet ISU gets less than 100 yds on the ground and UNI gets over 200 yds on the ground.

As long as we win, thats fine.

Well I can honestly say that I hope to never see you at a UNI game then. Drake is a track with a football field in the middle. I'll take my indoor football and 80% home field winning percentage.
