This isn't going to be fun, as people are going to go bonkers one way or another with this, all depending on what side of the fandom allegiance fence they are on. Anyway, the Iowa State Cyclones had some fun at the cost of Oklahoma Sooners quarterback Baker Mayfield after the former upset the latter on Saturday.
Iowa State defensive back Evrett Edwards planted the state flag of Iowa at midfield of Owen Field after the Cyclones' stunning 38-31 upset of Oklahoma in Norman on Saturday.
Why is this a big deal? Because Baker Mayfield found himself in the national spotlight after doing a similar thing to Ohio State earlier in the season. Something that he had to, because no-fun police, apologize for.
While many will claim this to be a form of karma, Mayfield wasn't exactly shocked by the move.
“You expect it, and it's whatever,” said Mayfield on the Edwards flag plant, as transcribed by ESPN.
“I'm sure I'll get comments that Iowa State is my dad or something like that,” he said.
The Oklahoma gunslinger wasn't all negative and rainy days, though. He gave us a tired cliche to boot.
“I'm not worried what they're doing,” he said. “You gotta go back to work.”
Iowa State was without starting gunslinger Jacob Park on Saturday. He is going to miss some time as he is on personal leave for undisclosed medical reasons.
In his place, Kyle Kempt tossed it around for 343 yards and three touchdowns. For good measure, because why not it was an upset, Joel Lanning tossed it for 35 other yards and also ran around for 35.
