I’m just trying to understand why every ISU fan thinks their fanbase is somehow special. You have decent support for being the 2nd choice in a small state. But I don’t really see anything special or “unreal” about it.
We do have an in state rival forum so you don’t pollute our football forum..

The last three years they had a losing record they averaged 54,000 fans. They have NEVER sold out 3 conservative games. Is that good? Is it “unreal”?
Go look at attendance around the country dimwit. Yes, given lack of success getting the attendance it has is very much abnormal, and ISUs attendance has been at its best while attendance across the country has been on a downward trend.

There is one HUGE reason why his age may work against other teams prying him away. He has kids that are getting older, sometimes parents don’t want to bounce them around 3-4 different middle schools/high schools. They want them to to feel stability and not like they are chasing dad everywhere.
Great point. Also consider that CMC is very loyal and caring for his assistants and if he decides to take say the USC or Washington job then he’s making a decision to uproot their families. There are lots of factors that make the status quo very comfortable, and that’s true of most things in life.

I know CMC had a subtle sense of humor....I wonder if USC called a favor in from Will Ferrell to zoom call him? Lol

"Matthew......Rob Burgundy here.....hello....I like you ball cap....it's got curves better than the gals that flock to me when I comb my beautiful mustache. Wait, what's that, we can't say your defense coordinators last name on the air....as that was my nickname in broadcasting school. You clearly know how to recruit as I can't stop staring at those flowing locks of that Chase Allen....a mane like a beautiful palomino"

But you're on that team's site?

Again, why do you care?

I hear the same about Iowa...they think they're America's team, everyone's biggest rival etc. yet you step out of the state, they're an after thought.

Just another generic Hok fan with nothing else to offer.
I care, because I find it interesting how you guys think everything you have is “elite” and the best.

You can’t just say you have a good quarterback, he has to be a Heisman contender. Can’t just say you have decent fan support, it has to be “unreal”. Can’t just think you could compete in the B1G, but you’d win the west every year despite actually being 0-6 during the Campbell years vs 1 average B10 team.

It’s interesting to me. I’ve never seen it in another group.

No you are not. You are just another Hok troll compensating for his inadequate manhood by going on an ISU board and being a prick. So why don't you run along and go play "Hideandgofuckyourself".
Cheers!

Which boards do you frequent for other teams?

Oh man a bunch of people on Cyclone Fanatic might have a slightly inflated view of all things Cyclone? No way that definitely doesn't happen anywhere else. I think a majority of posters on here are pretty realistic about where we sit in the CFB hierarchy.

ISU has a top 25 fanbase in attendance and probably top 30 in viewership once the TV numbers are crunched, for being a historically miserable team that went 7-5 and is also the second option historically in its small home state. Now that ISU is investing and growing and gaining casual fan market share in the state, it’s very attractive.

people in Iowa don’t really realize how rare it is for a state to be so college sports crazy, you don’t find this everywhere or even most places. And the right coach can turn it into a big recruiting advantage relative to the Colorados and Minnesotas that are pro sports markets all the way.

Didn't you just clinch a berth in the Big 10 championship. Go celebrate that somewhere else. Were Iowa State fans on your boards after doing the exact same thing last year (except we had to play the same schedule as every other team in our conference)?

It’s not interesting. You’re projecting and making **** up.


You guys said you’d rather have Petras than purdy, or Goodson than hall.
