Iowa State Cyclone Fans Hope for a Win

It's been a while since an Iowa State conference game meant so much.

 Coach has said that a Cyclone win against the No. 17 Longhorns would give the team its first ranking since 2005. Tickets for  against the Texas Longhorns have virtually sold out.

Both the Iowa State Cyclones and the Texas Longhorns are 3-0.

Cyclone fans said Friday that they hope for another win but didn't want to jinx the team.

“I believe that they can win, not that they will win,” said Brady Whitney, an ISU freshman.

Colin Sonnichsen, an ISU junior, said he was more of an Iowa Hawkeye fan but said the Cyclones seemed to be having a good year.

“Like a lot of people, I'm surprised by how well they are doing,” he said.

Justin Kjar, a senior at Iowa State, said he hoped for a win on Saturday and a ranking, because it would be the first time in the five year's that he's been in school that the team actually had one.

“That would be pretty cool,” he said.

Chris Peitzman, of Huxley, said she hopes the team stays healthy.

“They've got a good year going,” Peitzman said.

Student Alex Johnson, an ISU Senior had higher hopes.

“I'm hopeful they get to a bowl game, but I don't think it will be an awesome one. They have a tough schedule.”
