If TOE is annoying to Iowa fans then I am for it. I’m for whatever wrecks even a second of their lives.
TOE Pinstripe Sales
- Thread starter johnstoncy
- Start date
$600+ to fly out there (from Des Moines). $300+ per night for a hotel. Expensive food and drinks. All to sit in a stadium freezing your butt off to watch Iowa play Boston College. This game has pretty much everything going against it as far as getting fans to travel out there. The Music City Bowl would have been a much different story, but it is what it is.
That program is on the downfall and their fans know it.
Putting a bowl game in Yankee Stadium at the end of December was a dumb idea. In fact any bowl game on a baseball field is a dumb idea.
IIRC, sold about 5,000 tix sold through university. I went. Not a huge following. Basically, that number gets lost in NY crowds. It was always nice to run into another ISU fan in Manhatten.
I thought TOE stood for Turd Out East.
Don't we make fun of the hawks for stealing Florida's gator clap or whatever that's called? Now we're totally ok with stealing Ohio State's thing? Announcers already struggle with calling us Ohio State, why add to the confusion.
I'm not sure Campbell meant for this to catch on the way it did with some, it was just a response to being called "the guys in Ames".

Iowa State alumni list for nyc is about 1k. I’d assume Iowa’s list is at least double or triple that.
Just like Beetlejuice, saying their name 3 times make them appear. You will need to say their name 3 more times to send them back to their shanties.
NYC suffers from an extreme lack of yellow trailers and small town "bars"/meth dens...
It's not a good bowl location, it was on the most expensive, craziest weekend of the year, it's in location that doesn't appreciate college football so no one even knew there was a bowl game, etc. The idea of it is cool but the reality is people wanna go to warm weather spots for a bowl game. If there was meaning to it, like a CFP game, it could be held in Nome for all I care and we'd show up. To me it's like putting some junior hockey game in El Paso and wondering why no one shows up.
