Preface: I'm a proud ISU Alum who has lived in Iowa City for sixteen years, successfully raising three Cyclone fans, the eldest of whom is a sophomore in Ames!
I read today's (Friday, 12/20) Iowa City Press-Citizen over lunch, and smiled when I saw the feature article on the sports page titled, "Why don't UI students attend women's games?". I knew immediately that author Pat Harty's inspiration had come from the recent women's game in Ames, but it took him awhile to admit it! Towards the end he writes, "It's baffling that the number of UI students who attend Iowa women's basketball games at Carver-Hawkeye Arena pales in comparison to the support from Iowa State Students at Hilton Coliseum in Ames".
Thank you to the school administration, athletic department, coaching staff, fan-base, student supporters and women's basketball team! Our cross-state rivals are envious of what ISU has achieved...
