Woof, what a hatin' *** hater. That'd be like teeing off on...Purdue. Who cares? Life is gonna kill that guy.
This right here. That kid has looked at good players across from him ll year (moreso recently)and hasn't wilted once. If it wasnt potentially demeaning to him I'd love to give him the nickname of Chief. He is stoic and tough. Just does his job but isn't afraid to break off a rim.
Dude, fact of the matter is back in the late '90s your basketball program had a 12% graduation rate. That's what he's referring to. Has nothing to do with racism. So just stop it.

Umm, Michigan won the game and has been shooting well for the past 7 or 8 games. They won the Big Ten tourney just like you won the Big 12. Doesn't make OSU a better team. You just don't like the fact that a Big 12 team lost to a Big ten team.
How many wins will your Hawkeyes get in the only real basketball tournament this year, Split? Here let me help you..ZERO!
Seems relevant to today. Very topical with the smack talk.
So some Purdue fans have picked up the mantle of some Iowa fans and call our guys who come from the inner city "thugs" .... but it "has nothing to do with racism".... OK
Ever since Royce White (probably earlier but ISU wasn't good before then) we have dealt with some fans' veiled racism against ISU's black athletes so we are pretty attuned to it. The word "Thug" has been thrown around all the time. Now I guess they are bad students from the penetentiary or however that guy tried and failed to spell that middle school-level word.

As of 3/17/2017....
As for ISU vs. Purdue, it could easily go either way. But any argument about B10 > B12 this year is stretching.
Conference head-to-head comparison are inherently flawed. Really, any head-to-head record comparing conferences is really quite meaningless. Even if B12 does well in the NCAA tournament I am not going to use that as a solid evidence to argue that it is better than X conference.
Fact of the matter is ISU has registered the best student-athlete graduation rate last year at 82% in Big12
We also had a guy that killed a guy. He ended up being ineligible, but it wasn't for murder it was for other reasons.

That's comical if that's really what he was referring to. If someone has to go back 20 years to find smack talk they're the one that ends up looking studpid, not the one they think they're insulting.
Wow - smack-talking about academic standards from the 1990s. That's a twist.
Well, ISU has had a tremendous graduation rate under Hoiberg and Prohm and lots of academic all Big12ers and All-Americans.
Plus, the IA State Daily recently reported that ISU's rankings in Agriculture and Biosystems Engineering were #1 in the country. So, take that, West Lafayette. Plus, Gene Keady wore a terrible rug.

We got spoiled by the Nevads posters. This guy has quickly worn out his welcome. I'm shocked someone from the Big 10 would be arrogant and defensive as this guy is, 2 days into posting as a guest on a different school's message board.
Not arguing that. The program is not the same as it was in the 90s. I agree and not interested in pointing out graduation rates from the past that aren't relevant. But when your fans unfairly point at the poster as being racist because your program was corrupt, don't call me a veiled racist for calling you out on it.
Well if that's what the person was referring to, then I'll take that back. We're just used to having some hawkeye fans routinely refer to our African-American players as thugs; I just figured that's where that person was going too.
Reading it again that's probably not where that person was going, so I probably overreacted. Just hearing that crap for years from rivals pisses me off.

Bye. I'll be leaving now. Most of you have been welcoming. But some of you are ultra cocky, calling us unathletic, our big man worthless, and our Big Ten championship meaningless. If you're expecting me to bow down to your Cyclones because I'm a guest here, it's not gonna happen. Good luck tonight. Wish the Cyclones the best.
