Hawkeye basketball attendance

[CyFan61]

Nope, I've never seen a major conference school play a 16v16 game. So that would mean I would be a fan of a Western Kentucky type school. I don't want that.

C'mon let's say some of the Hawk's bubble predictions came true and Jerry Palm was on the committee. He couldn't get you a better seed, but he could get you in the field of 68. Would you rather have Iowa lose a 16/16 play-in game, or win the NIT? I'll even say that the team you lose to is the best 16 seed in the whole tournament. Maybe even better than a couple of 15 seeds!

How about a 12 vs 12 play-in game?

Kerry palm doesnt have that power, you know that!

I'd rather have the 12v12.

Oh, I forgot the part where I was right. I was right. Just wanted to make sure I got that across.

Jesus ******, Give it up Douglas.... Go back to HN Shadas or TarHeelHawk, whatever you are going by these days.

Pay no attention to hawkize. He is your basic trailer hawkeye. Double digit IQ. Mid 30's guy who still uses PWN, nerd, and derp in his regular vocabulary. Used to run a website called hawkize.com and loves talking about man on man rape.

Picture a hawkeye version of O'Doyle from Billy Madison, and you have hawkize.

If you truly believe that Iowa averaged 11,635 fans in seats last season, I have some beautiful oceanfront property in Arizona to sell you.

Again, it's all based on ticket SALES, not butts in the seats. And I fully believed Iowa averaged 11,635 in paid attendance. No way they averaged that many in ACTUAL attendance. But that's not what the NCAA goes by.

In the Gazette every week I would see the same old 16,000 official attendance in their box scores

 

[00clone]

Let's run down the events tonight:

Iowa does a decent job of selling 13,000 tickets to a second tier tournament game.

Those jokesters at WideRightNattyLight made a Twitterjoke about Iowa's horrible!! attendance.

I replied, of course, calling him a derp and saying that Iowa's attendance was ranked three whole spots behind Iowa State last year.

Whoever runs their Twitter, of course, called me a liar. Then a guy with a panda screen name and a goatee started a thread here calling me an idiot.

I replied with a link to the NCAA site backing up the claims I made.

WRNL replied with something about how it couldn't be true.

I called him a derp. He was being a derp.

And here we are. I was right. If you need me, I'll be on Twitter. Being right. Like usual.

The hawkeye professor says....

WRNL is serious business.

I would rather lose the 16 vs. 16 seed play-in game for the NCAA Tourney by 40 points than win the NIT.

I don't know man, winning the NIT gives you pretty big bragging rights of being the 69th best team in the NCAA.

So when ISU made the NIT Final 4 a few year's ago you didn't care?

Well it was suposed to be a joke. But..

I would rather lose the first(2nd) round of the NCAA than win the NIT. Take what you can get, but the overall goal is the big dance. Both programs seem to be rebounding and I hope both teams make it to the big one next year.

I'll admit it, I still gave a damn.

The extra home games and wins were fun and all, but I didn't care when they finally lost a game. That proves unequivocally that the NIT does not matter.

It was fun. Would've rather lost in the first round of the NCAA tourney that year though.

Have fun trying to get to the NIT final four...

If mick foley says it, it must be true.

When we reached the Final 4 I cared but not on the path to getting there. I'm a self-proclaimed NIT hater though. It's not ISU-Hawkeye related.

That's fine, all I'm saying is when it's your team (Iowa, Iowa State, UNI, whoever) you care how they do in the tournament (whatever tournament) and those that say they don't aren't telling the truth.
