Big 4 Classic
- Thread starter lakeliving
- Start date
I'm wondering if there's anyway because of the mediacom connection we could have this game streaming on cyclones.tv? I figure either that happening somehow or the cyclones.tv audio stream is the only chance for those not in a mediacom area.
At the worst I would hope we can get the replay feed up on cyclones.tv very quickly since it's mediacom and we have the tight relationship.
I'd like to go if they games were not so obviously one sided. We will beat UNI and Iowa will crush Drake.
We should play the 2nd school at Hilton in the season we play one at the Well.
So this year we have UNI in the Big Four Classic; we should schedule Drake in non-con play at home. Then vice versa for next season.
Ha! When Fran gets canned the Big 4 Classic will go away and they'll play 2 and 1 like it should be.
I love me some ISU basketball, but the idea of spending money on a ticket for Iowa/Drake - a game in which I wouldn't walk across the street to attend out of a complete lack of giving a damn - seems like such a waste.
Hopefully this experiment can come to an end sometime soon and Drake/UNI can have the option of either coming to Hilton or promptly ******* themselves.

In addition to the absurd price, they scheduled this at the same time as all the college football conference championship games.
Doesn't HYVEE make enough revenue off of the Department of Agriculture's Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program that they don't need these type of marketing campaigns? Leave my college basketball alone.
1. not a tourney
2. let winners play an evening game.
3. add creighton and UNO and make it a real tourney.
4. if not, sell single game tickets.
5. if not, isu v Iowa winner plays Drake v uni winner and losers play later in season.

They need to find a way to separate the tickets and sell them individually for each game. Hell, they could probably make more money. Instead of $75 for both games, they could probably charge about $40/ticket for each game, AND charge their BS convenience fees on both tickets instead of just once. Not only that, but then you'd have new fans coming in for the second game, eager to spend money on overpriced concessions and beer after the fans who already bought those concessions during the first game are gone.
They would never agree to playing a conference game in December, or on a neutral floor.
I'm much more interested in this game this year as it occurs prior to our game with Iowa. Adds a little intrigue being able to see them in person before we play them.
