Iowa St to host Incarnate Word Dec 1st

[BryceC]

We might get a lot of **** because of the silly university name, but this isn't like playing Drake. They're an FCS school just the same as SDSU and UNI. Anyone that was holding out hope for scheduling Nebraska or another FBS school is an idiot. Facebook is full of them right now complaining that this is a bad game, completely forgetting they bought a ticket to see South freaking Dakota State.

There's your first problem.

So does this guarantee a bowl game and possibly a national championship?

 

[CyAg]

Great move and congratulations! Also, Club seating just became premium real estate.

 

[Ms3r4ISU]

This will be a cluster **** for the fans that bought tickets second hand. I see a lot of complaining going on in the future.

That's not the responsibility of the athletics department.

 

[Tri4Cy]

Right there in the release, for those who choose to read it:

Fans who purchased tickets to the South Dakota State game (single game or season tickets) will receive tickets to the UIW contest on Dec. 1.

"We recognize the process of re-issuing both tickets and parking will present its own set of challenges for our department and fans," Pollard said. "Our staff will be in contact directly with our fans as soon as more details are finalized."

Honest question as this was a first for me...but I had someone transfer tickets to me through ticketmaster. I'm assuming as the last ticket holder in their system I would get the replacement tickets? I'm glad I went eticket vs paper on this one. Maybe.

 

[Turn2]

Hopefully this is the beginning of a long ferocious rivalry. **** purple Iowa.

Looking at their schedule it looks like their last game will be Nov 10 before the Dec 1 matchup with us being they cancelled their last game of the year...

I understand 300K is a lot of money, but why would you want to do that?

You answered your own question. Plus two more weeks of practice for their players.

No. They will get the ticket. ISU isn't going to track that down.

Maybe the person that sold the tickets will be nice enough to just forward the replacements to you

Just remembered I sold two tickets through Stubhub and do not have the name of the person

Yeah, I suppose so. Two extra weeks of practice plus another game. I'm sure for a small Catholic school the 300K goes along ways

think of how many indulgences you can buy with $300,000!

















....catholic joke

 

[DrummerGuy]

jesus... really?

 

[isufbcurt]

Perfect and awesome.

Good Sr. day to give the 4th stringers playing time

 

[CTTB78]

From a weather standpoint, I was really hoping for a game on 10/20. Better than nothing.

 

[Clonefan32]

I love how people act like we are the only school with a cupcake on our schedule. Literally every other team in America at least has at least one "gimme" on their schedule. Iowa just so happens to get like 7 every year, so we shouldn't feel at all bad about 1.

 

[jsb]

Great job by Jamie!

 

[TXCyclones]

I love that ADJP and CMC are thinking the long view regardless of how our record looks:

 

[cycloneG]

I could get used to this SEC type scheduling.

 

[FinalFourCy]

Absolutely had to get another game, although a lot of the damage from the cancellation has already incurred.
