Jamie's level of concern pertaining to Iowa

Do you think any $$$ goes to the athletic department from Boomers? More than Gen X, Millienials, etc.? Check the stands as well. Then STFU.
Remember when you said Mike Gesell was just as good as Monte Morris?
I'm an eastern Iowa resident and can say that outside of two days a year Iowa/ISU doesn't even register with 90% of people here, even self described supporters of both schools. People are honestly far more easily worked up over politics on a daily basis than they are this rivalry. You can judge for yourself which obsession is more healthy.
So we had footballcoach that put a huge emphasis on the Iowa game and did relatively well in them, yet they were removed because the overall record was poor. Now we have a coach that puts emphasis into the conference season and has done very well with that. But since he lost the Iowa game, there are still some that aren't satisfied?
For basketball, what do you want? A coach like Fran that peaks in December and fades in the new year, or a coach that has his team get better as the season progresses? If you put emphasis on a game in December, your team is going to burn out before March. Is that worth it?

All of these guys have won a lot of big games for ISU, but none of them have the Danny Mac, beat Iowa at all costs mentality and I am fine with that most of the time. Still hate losing to Iowa, especially in MBB, where they are just not that good.
so creative.
if pollard cared as much about conference teams as he does about iowa, and about other sports as much as he does cross country maybe we would get a competitive athletic department for all the revenue we bring in and debt we’ve issued.
1) First man up and stop using we because we know you are a hawk troll.
2) Competitive compared to whom? We won the men’s tourney last year and finished tied for third this year in football and those are the two big sports. So who are we to compare ourselves to?
3) Please tell me how much debt we have. I would like to know how much you think we have.
Just dropped in to say I’m currently eating a nice turkey sandwich and that this thread sucks.
What evidence do you have that Jamie gives two ***** about Iowa? The only difference about Iowa than the rest of our opponents is the biennial smear campaign that the Iowa AD puts out to the media. Then, once Pollard puts him in his place by exposing his lies, the Iowa AD works quickly to get it out if the news. Other than that, just another game.
We are Iowa's little b#tch. They own us. Thats all, end of thread.
That's a roundabout way of being concerned about them. Those statements are not compatible.
Lol, gtfo
I have only seen one other AD try to interject themself into the culture more than pollard, and that guy was actually a successful football coach.
Kind of odd.
I can’t imagine any team or fan base accepting another team wanting it more. The “they wanted it more” excuse is unacceptable. The coaches get paid lots. They should want it. Prohm has built a bridge to past teams and players they can communicate the importance and intensity of the game. Like prohm. Have liked him. Supported him and his teams all over the country at games. The they wanted it more is chicken ****.
You don’t like pollards trolling? You like Jorbo’s. Both bug the other side. Irony.
In basketball Iowa has dominated ISU in in-state recruiting pretty much every year except 2020. And that hasn't exactly yielded on the court dominance over the decades. While ISU has been more competitive in recruiting in-state in football, Iowa continues to dominate there. Yet the two football teams have had relatively similar success over the past three years.
Winning the Iowa recruiting battles would be nice, but quite frankly it's not all that important if you get talent from elsewhere.
