KU/ISU...who ya rooting for?

[jackson_supersooner]

What helps OU the most? KU winning and OU beating a highly ranked KU in a couple weeks? Or ISU winning and padding OUs chances of winning the league?

Iowa State, and it's not close. I badly want OU to be the one to finally knock KU off it's streak of conference titles, and an ISU win would be a good step in that direction.

No brainer.

GO CYCLONES!!

I'd root for the Third Reich before I'd root for the Kansas Jayhawks.

I want 2-13 to be #1 vs. #2 again.... so I'd prefer to see KU win. Can't say I'm "rooting" for them though.

This is pretty much how I feel...though I wouldn't mind an ISU win because I love their style of play and they have a great fanbase.

Me too!

Go get 'em Clones!

 

[WTSooner]

I don't hate KU, but ISU has always been a pretty likable team.

Go 'Clones!

:ez-roll:

OK, you probably listed one of the few organizations that fall behind KU for me but I get your point. Go Cyclones!

I wish I could upvote this. I'd log in twice.

Why should the #1 team care how highly ranked Kansas is? Iowa State all the way.

 

[stormspencer]

In the long run, an ISU win tonight looks to help us more at this point. ISU already has a home loss and a borderline bad loss at Texas. I believe ISU will drop several more before the season is done (@WV, @KU, and @Baylor....and possibly @Tech).

I don't think KU has as many potential losses hanging out there as ISU does.

And Niang is my favorite non-OU player to watch.

 

[IllTemperedSeaBass]

I agree with Spencer. If we want to win the league outright, we can't have KU winning where we didn't.

 

[Soonerinkc]

Cmon clones

 

[slappy in OP]

ISU. #1 vs #2 only matters in football. KU would still be highly ranked even if they lose.

 

[Zimwillett]

KU is a pretty average team away from Allen Field House (shocker). They're 1-3 in conference games away from Lawrence with the only win @ Lubbock, and even that was a tight game with 3 minutes left. Unless Self finds a way to fix some of their flaws quickly, I think KU's reign may be over. Now all OU has to do is take care of business and be the ones to officially take it from them.

I may be wrong but I thot WVU is better. ISU is real good but I think they're 3-5 in the league. I just hope we keep on keeping on and pull this dude out. It's going get tight and the pressure will be immense.

ISU is more talented. Really similar to OU in that you can't keep em from scoring all game. WVU's offense is not very good.

... the Cyclones (16-4, 5-3 Big 12). They have beaten three of the top four teams in this week's Top 25.

... The Jayhawks joined No. 1 Oklahoma and No. 3 Iowa as teams who have lost in Ames this season.

 

[MichaelM]

They stormed the court after beating Iowa and Oklahoma, but not after beating Kansas.
