Dear America - Iowa Doesn't Care What You Think

[rickyrudd]

And it is basketball season now

Not for good football teams.

 

[rickyrudd]

I mean we've been ranked every week for like 3 years. Definition of a basketball school

Three whole years? That's the definition?

 

[CyTwins]

Three whole years? That's the definition?

Last I looked yes. That's the reason Iowa is a wrestling school as well

Not for good football teams.

No, when you are a Cyclone fan with hoks on your schedule and Mad Fran recruiting to watch, it is ALWAYS basketball season.

 

[jcisuclones]

LOL

I find it funny that Fran McCaffery is Iowa's coach, too.

 

[inCyteful]

So let's get to it StickyMudd.

You going to bring some real, quality trolling and start the ban clock ticking or are you just going with the same ole hokeye recycled drivel?

This is getting boring and frankly, I am not sure that we care.

Are you comparing ISU basketball to Iowa wrestling. ISU basketball is not in the same universe.

However 1) Nobody cares about wrestling, nationally speaking.

and

2) ISU is a good basketball team. Not great, but good. Hoiberg had similar results to Steve Alford. A couple conference tournament trophies, no regular season championships. Some high rankings with bitter disappointment in the tournament. I guess if your comparison is your football team, then you are right. You are much better at basketball.

First tweet I saw when I opened up my Twitter app this morning, which came from a Hawk fan:

"What time is Iowa State's bowl game today"

Nope, no way Iowa fans don't care about Iowa State's football situation. At all.

Maybe we have a mutual friend? The last few days I've seen several Hawk fans mention Iowa State. At the end of a great season and they still have their rival on their mind.

So ISU is a basketball school and Iowa is a wrestling school. Got it

 

[Rabbuk]

Gonna be glad when Iowa loses by 30 to a good team.

Says the Iowa fan on their rivals site on Rose Bowl game day.

This. Hawk fans on here today is the equivalent of Facebook stalking your ex girlfriend, on your wedding day.

Things aren't going so well for Iowa's previous oppenents during bowl season.

MSU shutout
Pitt loses to Navy
Nothwestern getting destroyed by Tennessee right now.

 

[jmb]

Yeah, that's historically accurate. Although now, the CFP playoff is clearly the Pinnacle but the Rose Bowl is a great consolation prize.

so the NIT of football. Excellent analogy.

Keep in mind that Stanford lost to that terrible Northwestern team. It's a coin flip in Pasadena today between two pretenders with lucky schedules.

ISU basketball under CFH is so much better than Iowa basketball under Steve, but nice try.

Yeah, maybe. It just goes to show that mega conferences might not be the end all, be all for college football. As team with weaker schedules can still sneak through.

Just like Iowa football is good, not great.

If you really think that you have no idea what you are talking about. We are happy about both, but moreso the Rose Bowl.

Once and a while I find myself cheering for Iowa, and then people like you snap me back out of it. Biggest football game in the last 25 years for Iowa, and you have nothing better to do than go try to troll a rival. Pathetic.

Any of them posting here during the Rose Bowl need a ban hammer.

 

[clonebb]

Rudock is having a stellar game today.

i hope Stanford wins big.

oh and **** Iowa.
