official boxscore says there was 9,120 at that WF/Iowa game. IDK is that was how many tickets were sold or exactly how many were in the stands...

Everybody else's point that you are totally disregarding is that we aren't talking about the last 25 years. We're talking about after a coaching change in which many Hawk fans said that they would come back, people are doing the opposite. They are staying away in droves. Iowa has a great fanbase, I have said this many times, but the myth of them being one of the best fanbases in the country is a load of bull. Iowa supports winners just like everybody else. The thing everybody else is talking about is that when there was a coaching change ISU fans came out to support the coach. Iowa had a coaching change at a position where many people demanded it and now those same fans are not supporting this coach. THAT IS THE ARGUMENT HERE. This is why people are getting frustrated with you in this thread and passing off your posts as spin. This isn't about how many fans you bring to bowl games.
LOL, I said in a previous post that it may have been around 9,000 as well. I didn't look at the score, I was judging by what I saw. I know that 5,000 empty (or 6,000 in this case) seats at CHA looks REALLY empty.
And I get what everybody's point is. My point is that there are other factors than just "Hey, you guys aren't supporting your new coach." IMO, it has a lot to do with quality of opponents, single ticket prices (which again, you can't expect only the 9,000 season ticket holders to show up), time of games (week nights at 8:00), and win/loss.
Now, if you want to get into a debate on whether the student section is being supportive or not, there is no excuse for them not being there.
Thats funny bryce...Like they say don't let the facts get in the way of a good story.
The truth is that the u of i is no better or worse than any other college athletic program in this country...I know for a fact that u of i fans cant stand it when other colleges have success esp Ia State, Illinois, Wisconsin, Nebraska...Get the idea boys????...It makes the u of i fanbase seem ...well...like second rate or heaven forbid...AVERAGE!!!:biglaugh:
