Cyclone

The Cy-Hawk matchup from Iowa City is projected to be relatively lopsided, but lately that game has been pretty darn good every single year.

Jimmy Rogers guard-guiding the Cyclones and old rusty trustee Kirk Ferentz, the leader in Iowa City.

Hawkeyes favored by two touchdowns, but we do not push on the Friday Parlay, so I'm giving the Cyclones, the road team, a little bit of a boost.

Fourteen and a half, the number.

Cyclones or Hawkeyes, you pick, and an opportunity to win Twins tickets and more in the Friday Parlay.

Your second bet is the Chicago Bears.

Are you buying the hype of the Bears? They started out in Charlotte against the Carolina Panthers, who are a three-and-a-half-point home dog.

So that's real tropical stuff.

Cyclones, I suppose you get similar down in Florida, don't you? So it covers the ride spectrum.

Different to the US, internally it's dry.

There's...

... to me, this just, I, I'm a little surprised it's this low, and maybe because this game has historically gone under, they're keeping the spread a little bit lower.

But to me, this, this Iowa State team, this is just a fade to the Cyclones.

This is a first-year head coach for Iowa State.

This is a team full of transfers.

Walmart says the company wants to serve the community and plans to stay in Waukee for a long time.

The Iowa State Cyclones are making a slight change to their 2027 football schedule.

ISU and South Dakota State have agreed to move the season opener up to week zero, August 28th, instead of September 4th.

That leaves the first Saturday in September open on next year's schedule.

Cyclones heading to Iowa City tomorrow for the Cyhawk game, the 2026 version with kickoff set at 630.

A moment of silence will be held tomorrow to honor Hawkeye Marching Band member Derek Phillips, the mellophone section leader who suffered a sudden cardiac arrest after collapsing in the heat during last Saturday's game and later passed away earlier this week.

The Hawkeye Marching Band says it's going to honor Phillips throughout the remainder of this season.

Where do you play college at? Birdie? Iowa State.

The Cyclones.

They talk about it.

Casey's still at

And I would still put Purdue ahead of, of Northern Illinois just based on what we saw last week.

When you look at how Iowa's offense performed and what stood out last week, and you look at Iowa State's defense and the way they performed and some of the players that they have who really had their first kind of showing as a member of the Cyclones last week against SEMO, when you look at those matchups, what defines success for Iowa's offense against an Iowa State defense that has some pretty talented players on that side of the football? The line of scrimmage.

Just straight up.

I really liked how Iowa's offensive line looked against NIU on Saturday, particularly in that first half.

There wasn't any jabs or anything like that, which I wouldn't say I didn't expect, but also at the same time, like you said, it's Seahawks week.

This one means something to a lot of people, especially with how many players are Iowa native and grew up watching this rivalry.

You would think that, and I truly do believe that there is a desire to beat the Cyclones and the Cyclones to beat the Hawkeyes.

I truly do believe that that exists, even if they're not going to outright say it.

I will be on an endorphin high.

When the Iowa Hawkeyes kick the Cyclones' ass, Sean, that's what we're going to be on.

In all blacks.

The all-black uniforms.

But, of course, in this state, it still means quite a bit.

It's CyHawk 630 kickoff.

The Jimmy Rogers led Iowa State Cyclones come to Iowa City to face the Iowa Hawkeyes.

It was announced earlier today.

I looked through in the last five years, no team has won by this large of a margin.

So I'm just gonna go ahead and take the Cyclones to cover.

That's fair.

That's fair.

It was not a great performance from them.

the Cyclones in the first game.

Now, this is game two, but Iowa looked way ahead of where Iowa State is right now as far as preparation.

Now, to your point about the offense, I mean, they ran the ball right down northern Illinois' throat.
