I've been watching some videos of Kansas State post game reactions and interviews and one thing that kept popping up surprised me a little. Almost without exception, every K-State player, analyst, fan, coach, mentioned the rivalry, like it was a big deal to them to beat us because we are a rival. In fact, one analyst said KSU's two biggest rivals are KU and Iowa State.
My question is do Iowa State fans think of KSU the same way -- as a huge rival? Personally, I think of KSU as a conference rival and nothing more than that. If I were to pick a second team as a big rival after Iowa, it would probably be Nebraska, not KSU. Third on the list would be Kansas because of basketball more than anything. Am I off base here?
