@My_niche7 @IowaChill What a weird way to frame this. Ferentz is 14-12 in the CyHawk in his career. 15 of the 26 games (58%) have been decided by 1 score or less, including 6 of the last 8. You can acknowledge Iowa has been better on paper while also admitting the series has been highly contested.
English
@IowaChill Yeah this isn't true. Iowa's average win in the Ferentz era is over 14 points. Only 3 times has Iowa beaten ISU by less than a touchdown. On the flip side, Iowa State hasn't beaten Iowa by more than a FG since 2005. So I guess you're right, but only when ISU wins.

It doesn’t matter how good either team is this game is always close

I will not be betting either of those, by the way. Why? Because the under is 7-0 in CyHawk games Iowa is a double-digit favorite since O/Us have been tracked since 2005. BET YA HOUSE.
English
-12.5 is the largest spread in the CyHawk since the last time ISU had a coaching change (-15.5 in 2016; Iowa won by 39).
In the Ferentz era (since 1999), Iowa is 5-3 in the CyHawk when favored by double digits. HOWEVER, they are just 2-6 ATS in those games. Bet Iowa SU, ISU ATS.

@KimReynoldsIA get his ass, Kim! roast him for... *checks notes* ...having a campaign proposal that would have bipartisan support and appeals to Republicans.
English
And Rob Sand’s big new idea is… something Republicans already did last year.

@EveryYard4ISU The players who followed Campbell to PSU absolutely had spots if they wanted them on ISU’s new team, but none of them wanted it and no one can fault them lol. But more than half the players that left didn’t go to Penn State, and that’s what I’m talking about.
English
@_AlexGookin We are not talking about our 2nd or 3rd string guys.
We are talking about the guys that followed Campbell to PSU.
They left for more money, familiarity with coaches, etc. To suggest they didn’t have a spot at ISU is just silly.
English
Going to be honest, nothing Campbell says here makes me more upset about him "taking" players. If anything, it sounds like he was prepared to help bridge the gap at ISU, but the direction changed and players were left without a spot. It wasn't poaching at that point.

NEW: Matt Campbell tells @AndyAriOn3 he became emotional watching Iowa State players and their families choose to follow him: "My number one goal was for our football team there (Iowa State) to be taken care of." "I remember we had 20 players and their families at Penn State for a visit, and I literally broke down and cried the first meeting with them because it was overwhelming."

@DustyBottoms04 I'm feeling bad enough about myself, thankyouverymuch.
English
@_AlexGookin I’d say I feel bad for you guys but that’s a lie so 🤷🏻♂️
I will say that I hope the kid heals up quickly though. Hate seeing them get hurt.
English
@_AlexGookin You had a RB transfer out after the spring game too, correct?
Legit not hating, just can’t remember if it was RB or not.
English
@EveryYard4ISU Let me clarify: There were "spots", but on the new staff's terms (which, of course!). But the new staff's terms were very different than the terms Campbell assumed there'd be if Mouser got the job. Plenty of 2nd or 3rd-string guys wanted to stay but would take big pay cuts.
English
@_AlexGookin Irrelevant.
Your assertion is there wasn’t a spot for them at ISU.
English
@_AlexGookin Stuck with I State logo as the main until JP goes?
English
It pains me to say ISU is 6th out of 6 in this lineup with this specific logo.

Who has the best CARDINAL in CFB? 🔴
English
@PoptartLudwig It's really bad. And the "old" Incarnate Word logo is such a weird style (even for mid-2000s), I hate it. Ball State's Heisman pose cardinal does go hard, tho. I'd probably put Walking Cy in 2nd behind that one.
English
@_AlexGookin I can't stand the thumbs up Illinois State logo 😂
English
Cy totally redeems himself here, contender for the top spot.

Cardinal Throwbacks 🕰️
English
@DustyBottoms04 Officially? Probably not. But it seems the new staff is HEAVY on the tornado Cy logo, and that alone makes me like them.
English
@_AlexGookin This and the I State logo are so terrible. Think you will go back to the Tornado Cy at some point? As the main logo not just a throw back.
English
@EveryYard4ISU If you were a successful 3-year athlete under a coach you loved and he left for another school (that is more prestigious in CFB), is he "stealing" if those players want to follow him, or is it just common sense that it might be in their best interest?
English
@_AlexGookin Just about all the best ones ended up at PSU. The idea that they were left without a spot at ISU is ridiculous.
English
@alex_deyoe As long as you can also agree he wasn’t “poaching” players out from under the new staff.
English
@_AlexGookin So we can agree Matt needed a ton of spots to fill and didn’t fill them because he just has the biggest heart out there?
English
@CyVike Yes, he had a meeting with every player when he made his decision to tell them what he was doing and that they need to make the best decision for themselves and I am almost 100% positive every player did that. Idk why we’re trying to pretend this was some NCAA violation lmao
English
@_AlexGookin So you've already forgotten the interview at PS where Rocco admitted MC came to him at the very beginning about going with him? You know....way before the portal even opened? Do you really think he was the only one?
