Iowa

Hmmmm, with Gene Taylor on their staff I rather doubt we are going to sneak up on these boys.

We won't sneak up on their coaches. And the coaches will relay that message to the players. It's just a matter of whether the players are humble enough to recognize that they could lose to an FCS team. I suspect some of their "big boy egos" won't allow them to consider that possibility, and they may get surprised. Which is fine. It works in our favor.

I'm sure Iowa will have their "worst team in years", according to fans, after their team loses to a lowly FCS school.

It could be doubly awesome since this is our last B1G game, and I am pretty sure they have never lost to an FCS school

Iowa is projected at #19 for the 2016 season.

If we played the #19 Sagarin team(Wisconsin) today on a neutral field they would be favored by about 5.5

LOL at their schedule getting more difficult with a crossover matchup with Penn State. I think we may be more of a challenge than Penn State.

WE'RE GOING TO KICK THEIR ASSES.*

I doubt the Iowa players will take NDSU any more seriously than a lower level FCS program, in spite of the coaches telling them differently. Just another warm up game. Like Illinois State last year.

I kind of agree. They'll look at ISUr and think they really weren't all that difficult. How much better can we be?

It shouldn't be hard to get the players attention. Pull up K State, Iowa State, Minnesota. All three of those games we beat them, not caught them off guard. Physically controlled the game and won.

Now, they are coming off their in state rivalry game which could drain some emotion. I'm sure we'll hear that excuse afterwards.

Also, feeling out about tickets, sounds like they don't always sellout. Hopefully they have a few fans overlooking us that choose to stay home. I'd like to see 20K+ down there and that seems damn realistic especially if tickets can be had for face.

This isn't Minnesota. Or Iowa State. Especially coming off the year they just had, the stadium is going to packed. CyPanth has made some strange comments making it sound like their support is lackluster, but that city revolves around Hawkeyes football (and wrestling). For the B10 championship, they managed to color stripe most of the stands at a neutral site!

It's not whining. He's doing brilliant snarky sarcasms with plenty of ISU self deprecating humor. He loves the fact the many NDSU fans get all bent out of shape because they don't recognize the sarcasm. I'm surprised people in Iowa recognize it.

I feel sorry for the blokes who don't recognize sarcasm or satire. Imagine how pissed those people were when they watched Dumb and Dumber and later found out it wasn't a documentary!
