The Iowa Hawkeyes are a shaky 2-0, but 2-0 nonetheless. The rival Cyclones from Iowa State? They are 0-2.

So with the two schools ready to battle it out in their annual rivalry game this weekend, the police department at the University of Iowa just couldn't pass up the opportunity to point out that fact to its counterparts in Ames.

But, hey, the Iowa State campus police DOES have more followers on social media. So there's that.

No need for a knock-knock joke here, @UIowa_Police. The numbers speak for themselves. @ISUPD wins! #BeatIowa pic.twitter.com/c6VWlNrEkE

@ISUPD only 4.5 hours to come up with a response. Not bad.
