And that says quite a bit about what type of Cyclone fan you are. Again, with the people who don't care that ISU even has a WBB program taking the time to tell everyone how much they can't stand women's basketball. Pathetic, but typical.
So I have to spend my time watching a sport that I don't enjoy to prove that I'm a good fan?
Am I reading this right?
Wbb is dull and not my thing. If that makes me a bad fan so be it. If you want to get jacked up about it thats fine, but lets be honest it is a very niche sport with few followers.
A find some of the people that go out of their way to post NEGATIVELY rather sad, but somewhat humorous. Calling our women's team a niche sport shows ignorance. They are the third most popular sport out of all athletics at ISU. They have been top 5 in the nation for over a decade. As for others...just post responses to the actual question and leave the petty comments putting the team down comments at home. Yes, making them does make you a poor Cyclone fan.
BF acknowledged the crowd a couple of different times after the game, pointing to them, clapping toward them and giving kind of a bow of appreciation thing.
I agree, I thought all things considered that the crowd was pretty good last night.
I'm assuming you hit up all the soccer, golf, track events as well? If not, that says quite a bit about what type of cyclone fan you are.
Again, not what he said. It was about insulting the sport, not attending it.
It was exactly what he said. Dude said I will not attend Wbb games. Other dude said u a bad fan den.
I went four years, and never attended a women's basketball game. I even had a women's basketball player come on to me or at least demonstrate that she wanted to be my friend when I would see her in the weight room working out. I passed up the opportunity to get to know her better and I highly regret that. That was many years ago and she may have been as tall or taller than I, so perhaps I saw that as daunting. I became a women's basketball fan around 15 years ago. I should say, I have always liked women's basketball, just didn't see it as a priority when I went to ISU. Men's basketball was nearly as bad, only attended 2-3 games. I went to football, and wrestling. Strange, how times change you.
My 2 cents:
1. I thought the attendance was pretty good, especially considering the won-loss record of last 6-8 games.
2. My wife has commented that the womens team isn't as fun to watch as in past. I think this is due to our offensive agenda which seems more like watching a chess match. Our offensive plan is the result of playing guards and Hallie playing the post when she's really a forward.
3. Wining cures most everything.

I guess for me it is a matter of priority. I'm a fairly busy person and have managed to make six women's game this year. With football you have to have a season ticket anymore for a seat, once you've spent the money you make sure you go. WBB you can easily walk-up and get a good seat, thus the priority is lower. Also weeknight games are very hard for me so I don't buy season tickets. When I was a student many decades ago I went to all FB games and only a handfull of men's BB and a few baseball games, no WBB at all, didn't even know we had it.
I have had season tickets for 14 yrs now. I enjoy the game because for a while it was a better game then the mens. Most students are not into WBB and those that come do so for the prizes they could win. As to those who do not attend games but like to come on here and post negative posts, they will always be there. Some people just like to see their name on here. What bothers me is the number of season ticket holders that have great seats that either do not show up (three seats near me have only been used one time and the two right next to me have never been used) or leave with 4-5 minutes left in the game.
I've tried to watch women's basketball but I just cant. When ISU gets to the NCAA tournament I'll probably make my way through a game, but otherwise it's just too hard to watch. That's no slight on our team at all, just in general...it's unwatchable.
