Random Question

Just out of curiosity; before the season started, if you had the choice of beating either Iowa or #12 Wisconsin, who would you choose?

Re: Random Question

If I couldn't choose both.... Iowa

Re: Random Question

A Wisconsin win would mean a lot more nationally. An Iowa win would mean a lot more here. Tough call but I'd probably take the year of bragging rights over the week of highlights on sportscenter

Re: Random Question

The Panther fan inside me says Iowa.
The football fan inside me says Wisconsin, with the caveat that in the same season a win over UW, but followed that by a loss at Iowa?? That just means Wisky is worse than people thought and might not be seen a such a big of deal by outsiders for UNI.

If you have to pick one, lose to Iowa first, then rebound to beat UW because they are the better football team is the best possible draw.

Re: Random Question

We probably get SC highlights either way, but that 09 loss in Kinnick still really grinds my gears so Iowa for that reason. However, I wouldn't mind playing Wisky again in 2 years.

Iowa - would shut up their fans at least for a few weeks.

and turn into major meltdown mode after the next week. "FIRE KIRK NOW!!" would begin

Re: Random Question

Even though Hawk fans would find a way to down play their embarrassment it would still be awesome to watch them all leave Kinnick and have bragging rights

Re: Random Question

I thought for SURE Iowa State would win this easy, now...i'm not as positive

Re: Random Question

I'll take a nail-biter loss at Madison followed by a thorough beat-down of Iowa.

Re: Random Question

Not me-I would rather have the win at Wisky.
Even beating the instate unranked team with low expectations will not stop their fans from talking.
But beating the 12th ranked team nationally actually carries some weight. In both polls.

Nothing would shut them up for a few weeks. I bet Kirk's reaction would be a little classier than Fran's.

Yeah, you're right, I don't know what I was thinking. There would be a lot of talk about how awful they are and how the season is over. There would be a bunch of phony condescending praise for UNI in the media always accompanied by concern about how low Iowa has sunk. There would be a movement to fire Kirk. And at the end of the year they will be in a bowl game.
