    Could Iowa State be the next Boise St.??

    Personally, I hate BSU specifically for their turf, but no degree of personal hatred or talk of weak schedules changes the fact that Boise has legitimate football players that get drafted by NFL teams. They consistently have talent.

    Gazette: Insight Bowl not opposed to ISU-Iowa rematch

    As a Hawk fan, I'd take a rematch mostly because I was at a wedding that day and missed a three overtime thriller. It would probably be really close again (even though ISU's defense is the only legit unit between both schools). And even an Iowa victory wouldn't make me claim that Iowa had a...

    Hawks land prized recruit!

    That's not a great argument. The kid easily could have grown up dreaming about playing for the Hawks. He also could be smart enough to listen to better offers.

    A question regarding Hawkeye fans

    Nailed it. You're simply too loyal.

    Wegher

    I know he left Iowa and upset some fans, but that situation never struck me as a serious black mark on his character. I wasn't aware that he left a second school, but it still doesn't seem like much baggage.

    Wegher

    What did Wegher do to be considered someone with baggage?

    J. Lattimer fully reinstated

    Kinda. As I already mentioned, Hubbard got 4 years because sentencing guidelines consider the things that can happen when a firearm is involved. The courts penalize people for the likelihood that the gun will be used whether it is fired or not. I know why, but it's a little sad that...

    J. Lattimer fully reinstated

    There is simply no comparison between the possibility of dying in a tragic accident and death that can result from an unprovoked beating. A more apt comparison is with someone that was actually injured in a violent crash. I'm dealing with actual injuries and concluding that it was an extremely...

    Are you really taking issue with my belief that striking someone who isn't fighting you 20+ times including bodyslamming them while breaking their jaw in multiple places doesn't carry a very real risk of death? That's hardly an exaggeration.

    Please tell me what reality I'm ignoring. You'll fail, but you can try. And the probative value of a sound argument will always depend on the willingness of the audience to hear it, as opposed to pretending that the argument ignores facts.

    Yes they do. The whole point of a hypothetical is that it didn't actually happen. If it had, we wouldn't need a hypothetical. What fact ate you convinced I'm ignoring?

    Hpyothetical question aren't some sort of gimmick and I accepted all the facts. Other than those mistakes, you made a fine rebuttal.

    Part of you problem stems from misunderstanding what constitutes assault in Iowa. You can beat some unconscious in Iowa without being guilty of assault. You can also not touch a person and be found guilty.

    You're bad at arguing.

    And the previous poster is right about what could have happened mattering. Hubbard got 4 years because of the gun his partner in crime carried. That penalty is stiff exactly because of what can happen.

    J. Lattimer fully reinstated

    That's a terrible argument. What actually happened was a felony because it involved a serious bodily injury. You don't get to pretend that felony assault is anything close to misdemeanor assault because it's not. Hubbard got a stiffer sentence because firearms require it. Lattimer got a...

    No. It was a hypo. And one that probably nobody here will answer honestly.

    J. Lattimer fully reinstated

    Absolutely. You're simply not giving credit to Lattimer for intentional acts that could easily have killed the victim and did result in serious injury.

    Cyclone fans would be applauding Fran if his convicted felon was put back on the team (assuming Latt and Hubbard switched places for this criminal activity) with no meaningful, institutional punishment. At least we can all agree on that.
