There are maybe 3 that consistently post on this site that have some intelligence. Most of them will never respect UNI because we don't play in a BCS conference, and never will. We have little brother syndrome to the cyclones, and all of us are actually sqwakeye fans.

I have been reading their boards all day long... true comedy!

I got lost in the multiple threads about UNI. So I stopped reading.

*yawn* - who gives a rat's behind what they think? You shouldn't be craving someone's respect when you've owned them consistently over the last decade, especially a program as tradition-poor as ISU. (and I was a die-hard Clone fan growing up before I went to UNI)

Who cares?

Re: Why I love beating Iowa State

Well yeah, but look:

I have an extreme amount of respect for UNI and for their entire athletic department. Troy Dannen has done an incredible job! They are an FCS powerhouse in football. They are ranked in the Top 5 year after year after year. Ben Jacobson is, in my opinion, the best coach in all of college basketball. The UNI volleyball team is perhaps the best UNI sports program of all and they are building a consistent winner in women’s basketball. UNI consistently over achieves in each sport.

Does losing to UNI hurt? Yes. I have neighbors, friends, and work colleagues who are UNI fans. It hurts!!! I am in pain this morning.

However, how could anybody have nothing but respect for UNI? I respect the hell out of UNI.
Go Cyclones!

So there is at least one intelligent, rational, honest, and respectful ISU fan out there. Congratulations PGreen. If you every get tired of backing a loser and want to know the feeling of being a fan of a program such as you described you are welcome to join us.

Re: Why I love beating Iowa State

I read a couple pages of those threads.

There are a lot of ISU fans who are not in touch with what ISU athletics actually are. They are the very definition of BCS-conference sub-mediocrity. They are cannon fodder for the real BCS programs. That's it.

They're trying to play the game the same way Texas and Oklahoma play it. And they consistently fail. It will never happen for them with any sort of consistency.

And soon, when the Big 12 completes it's transition to being a shell of it's former self, they will be floating namelessly in the middle earth of D1 sports.

The stupid is strong in that thread.

Re: Why I love beating Iowa State

I understand saying UNI is at a "lower level" with football (since BCS schools are, without question, at an advantage) but it is astonishing that Clone fans do not realize we are on the same level in basketball...I'm starting to remember why I didn't give that school the time of day when looking at colleges.

Re: Why I love beating Iowa State

Cychotiic: I hate UNI, I hate their fans, I hate their basketball team, I hate their football team. I don't care if "I should cheer for the instate team", their fans are douchebags. If we have "little brother syndrome" to Iowa, then UNI fans are on a whole different level to us. They have their decade of dominance, it'll be over with soon. Both of the bigger universities went through a tough spell and that allowed UNI to rise up. I think/hope both are getting back on their feet soon, so UNI shouldn't really dominate that much longer. To argue that they have a better program then us simply because we are down and they are up is ridiculous, yet I see so many UNI fans doing it. UNI is my least favorite team.

Probably one of my favorites so far. What a maroon!

Re: Why I love beating Iowa State

Haha yes ISU's "troubled decade" has allowed UNI to make the NCAA tournament and the Sweet 16...I always forget that's how UNI did it.

Re: Why I love beating Iowa State

I just went through and read all these hilarious UNI bashing posts. It put a big smile on my face. ISU fans are rabid for their team I'll give them that, but rabid to the point of lunacy and idioCY. Hm? See what I did there? IdioCY? That should be an ISU license plate.

Re: Why I love beating Iowa State

yeah UNI really needed iowa and ISU to be down to succeed because we stole oh so many recruits from them.

Re: Why I love beating Iowa State

The irony of calling our fans d-bags and then, when panther fans and a few rational clone fans make rational posts, jumping on them for being "trolls" or irrational is just hilarious. Even Hawkeye fans wouldn't make this much of a scene (although if we beat them in football it might be the dance just a different tune).

Re: Why I love beating Iowa State

sorry if I offend some of you guys but Cyclone fans are like White Sox fans & Vikings fans. They are loud, obnoxious and ill-informed. They always think their team can compete for a title & they basically never do. They are usually dirty too & look like they live in a trailer!
