Possible Future ISU vs. Minnesota Basketball home and home ?

I'd travel

I'm a little confused by this. Would we fill the stadium with half of our fans or would we fill the entire stadium with literally half a person, and that half is a cyclone fan? The half people would be cool and creepy.....

No joke, I laughed at this for a good minute and almost wet myself. :notworthy:

Bring on the Badgers!

I don't need no stinking Badgers.

Ah, trying to steal Bo Ryan's thunder, I like it.

Wisconsin is painfully boring to watch. Not sure why anyone would sign up for that.

I know a family of 4 in Iowa and a family of 3 in MPLS that would buy tickets in a heartbeat. A 2-year deal, just a home and home like we had with Michigan would be perfect.

I don't get MN's reluctancy on this. They either play us and we continue to take over MSPL/Minny as our recruiting vacation home or they don't play us and we continue to take over MPSL/Minny as our recruiting vacation home. So they might as well play us because it's coming.

 

[Cycsk]

I would like to see us get games in Detroit, Chicago and New York, both for recruiting and media attention.

NONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONO to Wisky.

I'm old & decrepit, and I believe I could play basketball at a faster clip than they do. BO-ring!

Creighton? Still a MVC team to me.

It was a great series in the 80's early 90's and that was before they got on the map. McD being there makes it a long shot to happen but as soon as his boy is gone, he will be too.

Not sure why anyone wouldn't want another big 10 team on the schedule yearly. Who cares what style they play. I'd rather play a team like Minny, WIsky or even Nebraska than both UNI and Drake every year. Besides if we don't keep beating b1G teams, the media is going to keep having excuses to over hype that conference.

If Minnesota says no, the only logical answer is playing Wisconsin at Target Center.

I will never forget the game up here when a MN player hit the scoreboard on a full court pass at the end of the game. Iowa state won on the subsequent inbounds pass. It was 1992. Thigpen hit the game winner.

I was there. Top row of the Barn in the corner. Terrible seats but awesome game. The inbounds play after the scoreboard play was a thing of beauty. Ron Bayless winks at Justus Thigpen and lobs the ball towards the rim. Thigpen skies for it, fumbles it I think, then scores and gets the and 1.

It is on YouTube. Watched it last night.

Pretty sure they raised the scoreboard in the barn after that game.

Let's see. Iowa plays Minn. for a pig. If Minn. says no, let's play Nebraska or Wisconsin for a pig pen. :twitcy:

 

[IceCyIce]

yearly? i don't know if that's a lot of fun. We already have one Big 10 yearly.

This s JP's way of getting us into the big 10 through the back door.

Is there a reason why Minnesota fans think they are so great at basketball compared to us?

Its not so much a basketball thing, its more of a: "we're in a big city, so we should be better," kind of thing. People from Minnesota struggle to admit anything in Iowa is better, or good, or even satisfactory. I really don't understand it; Wisconsin people are the same way.
