He's right on with his comment though. Weak stuff from JP. Obviously JP has a case of the red a$$ because Iowa's been having a lot of success in a lot of sports.

Yeah. Envy I am sure that’s it. Not the idea that the stories actually on there are about Iowa’s garbage softball team beating a different garbage softball team and Iowa’s baseball team squirting it’s last hope at a post season bid down it’s pants.

No, Pollard is spot on. We had a male athlete who for the first time in Big 12 history won 3 events. We finished 2nd at the conference meet with a record number of points for a runner-up. That should have been covered. Instead of mentioning that, they run a story about ISU ending baseball 20 years ago...a story that could have ran at any point this week and not as a headline.

UNI Softball earned their first NCAA bid in 8 years and no mention of that either. But the story about Iowa's starting QB who probably wouldn't start at most P5 schools hiring a guru was more important? Not a chance. Could have slid that one in on a slower news day as well.

What Morehouse's comment illustrates is that Pollard made the right decision to tell him to pound sand.

And Pollard is right. It is insulting to UNI and ISU Softball. The Des Moines Register sucks. It isn't even worth the 1 cent 6 month promotion.

It is surprising the amount of IA/ISU commentary here because I thought neither the ISU fans nor the coaches really care about Iowa, which is why Matt Campbell has never beaten them. Iowa should be commended for persevering every year despite being outgunned on the field and the sidelines.

Yea, it's almost like this thread is about Ferentz and his focus on this game - oh wait - It is!

So hok fan calls out this thread and may a couple of other that have hok trolls spewing all over them as a representation of what takes place on this site, despite the hundreds of other threads that have nothing to do with hoks

Go back in your **** hole.

Fair enough. Some of your brethren allege the Iowa game is not important and the lack of preparation by ISU coaches is the reason they always lose. Obviously it could never be because Iowa is better.
Yeah, I am an unapologetic “bad fan” when it comes to playing the parakeets. I root for their players to get stomped, and that probably makes me a bad person, but what the hell.

600 Iowa fans voted and the large majority of them would rather beat non conference big brother than Indiana



Hok fan is not stupid when it comes to positioning themselves for fanbase arguments. They know they have no chance in hell of making their CCG and being relevant around playoff time. Much better chance to chest pound if you beat ISU knowing they likely will be in the conversation at playoff time.

Beat Indiana, lose to ISU and end up 2nd in the B1G west and what can you crow about - not that they wouldn't think of something.
