Rayshawn Parker is upset! OH NO!

A while back, the monster known as Adrian Clayborn gave a quote to the Des Moines Register that some Cyclones have taken offense to. Clayborn, being the best defensive end in the country, and Adam Rittenberg's #1 Player in the Big Ten has earned the right to say a few things. His quote is, "we're the only team in the state, as far as I know." Now, I can see how some people in Ames take offense to this, but anyone who disagrees should remember that Iowa State has not scored a single touchdown against the Iowa defense since Clayborn first stepped onto the field. When you dominate someone that badly, you earn the right to talk a little trash. What really makes me laugh, is his counterpart on the Cyclones, DE Rayshawn Parker says that ""It upset me. It's like a slap in the face." To be fair to Parker, his head is probably still ringing from the shot he took as a freshman at Kinnick, so almost everything feels like a slap in the face. If you don't remember, it's a video I really like, and can be found in this article.

I am really looking forward to Parker and his teammates trying to do anything but get blown out of the water this year when the come to Kinnick in September. My preliminary line is Iowa -16.5, but things may change depending on loltastically bad the Cyclones perform against Northern Illinois the week before.
