Tell that to the kids on the team. After everything that the ISU football program has been through, I doubt any of the players or anyone on the coaching staff, or any of the poster on this board would consider a 6-6 ISU team mediocre.
Tell it to the 'kids' of the '76 team who were left home in a time when bowl games meant something. Oh yeah, their record 8-3.
I'll tell it to anyone who cares to listen. No postseason play for mediocrity. Don't believe in it for the NBA, NFL, or college FB. You want the rewards, earn them with superior results.
Great. So we should kick out every Iowa fan who posts here just because you don't like what a couple of Hawk trolls have said? I've already addressed that issue earlier in this thread, and I stand by those words:And I must have missed the part of this thread that specifically said to ban only those three. Heard of the bad apples which spoil the bunch?
Most of the Hawk posters around here have been at CF for quite a while and have proven themselves to be "good citizens." We may not all agree with their rooting preferences, but most add a good balance of perspectives to this site that I think is valuable. Like others have already said, the trolls are quickly banned. The ones with something worthwhile to say have earned themselves a place here.
Why do I suspect those Hawk fans might say the same thing about you? :biglaugh: Funny, in my experience, for every total jerk Iowa fan I meet, I meet about 10 more that are totally decent people. Strange thing I've learned in life... people tend to treat you the same way you treat them. It seems to even work with Iowa fans!For every decent Iowa fan I've met in my life, I've met about 10 more that are total jerks.
Anyway, back to what you were saying...

That being said, will you be on here preaching if ISU goes 6-6 next season and gets a bowl bid? How about 7-5? What is your minimum acceptable record for a bowl bid?
We all have stories about idiot Iowa fans. I have plenty, too. But I also have plenty of stories of good, decent people -- fellow Iowans -- who just happen to root for a different team than I do. If you ever thought about removing that 1000-pound cinder block from your shoulder, you might start noticing a few of those kinds of stories yourself.Oh really, you mean like the UI fan who told me to 'go farm' when he saw me at the ISU - UI game in '05 and said this to me without me saying a word?
How about the guy who on the first day I ever met him told me that ISU was made up of a bunch of criminals this after merely hearing that I had graduated from ISU? Of course, he had no degree.
How about the guy who spotted my ISU sticker on my car and stood up and stared me and my wife down as we were going to look at an open house? Again, I never said a d-mn thing to him. Only on leaving did I notice his big black Hemi with the hawk sticker.
But since you and many others on here are more interested in being pals with your beloved hawk buddies, do me a favor and just hit the ignore feature on my posts.
Or I find it ridiculous to pay for a site that is created (or managed) as a way to keep fans from other schools away.Make it pay site problem solved oh yeah you are a cheap skate
Does anyone else find tarheel's sig hilarious?
I can't stop laughing at it because I bet our own "towel boy" looks the same way on TV.
Yea, I don't live in an area known for it's spring chickens :wink:The Mullet rocks and so does Oldpeoplesville by the way :smile:
Make it pay site problem solved oh yeah you are a cheap skate
Are you telling Jeremy to make it a pay site???
Would you still be on it then???
I think there are too many ignorant Cyclone fans on this site... I've seen terrible fans on both side. Don't kid yourself.
Urbclone....
And I'm sure the Hawk guy stared you down because your car had an ISU sticker and not because he was wondering who could possibly be moving in next to him. I do the same thing to people who look at the house next to me for sale. I don't care who they root for. I just wanna know who might be my new neighbor. Hey, but since your a Cyclone and he is a Hawk, you might as well be paranoid about it.
Nice try BUT.... He was there to look at the open house as well.
