What the *#$& is the ISU Mascot
Called the cyclones, but there seems to be some kind of bird roaming the sidelines. And that bird looks a lot like a certain University of Iowa mascot.
Let's see... walking bird, check. "I" on the chest, check. Bared teeth, check. Angry look, check. No pants, check.

I'm not a patent attorney, but maybe the folks up in Ames should change their name to the Iowa State Copyright Infringers. Here's a tip folks, if your buddy has a 
black Ford Taurus and you buy a red Ford Taurus, you still have a Ford Taurus. So while you may hang your high school graduation tassel from the rear view mirror, add a spoiler and throw a racing strip down the side it's still the same car. The only difference is that your neighbor's car is capable of driving 10 yards without breaking down.

"It's not a Hawkeye... it's RED!" Congrats ISU, I feel sorry for you for the first time.
Setting the Bar... Low
If your team treats a non-conference game played in the second week of the season like a bowl that's a sign your team is going nowhere. If your opponent in that game is the University of Iowa, it's a sign that you have the worst inferiority complex since Jan Brady. Well that and if you try to steal their mascot then denying doing so.

How much has ISU overstated the importance of this game, well the dedicated a whole week to game prep and built a web site specifically for this game. Does Michigan have a Beat OSU site? How about Texas and OU? ISU has essentially gone beyond treating this game like a Bowl Game and moved straight to treating it like the Super Bowl.
And way to show up for your Super Bowl fellas. Did you consult Marv Levy for methods to prepare?
The Cy-Hawk Trophy
I realize that the well meaning folks of Iowa State want to play for something, because they ceased playing for pride sometime around 1:00 CST, but this has to be the ugliest, least interesting trophy out there. Iowa needs to put it's foot down. If it ain't a pig, we're not playing for it.
Can we just give this to Iowa State every year as an perfect attendance award? Great work showing up on time fellas, here's your trophy. Of course you'll have to repeat the 7th grade again because of you have trouble grasping the basics but your perseverance is an inspiration to morons everywhere.
