Looks like good sportsmanship to me. One guy clearly isn't participating.

Iowa didn't lose to Nebby man, I couldn't care less about MSU's struggles. If you think they'll be a cake-walk come March, I'll pray for you.

Re: Iowa MBB now a projected #1 seed
Not sure about that. Only reason that game sold out this year was because of Brands. Really don't think Iowa has a rival outside of ISU but you could say the same for ISU in football

By the way your football program is and always will be terrible. Your constant mentions of beating Iowa highlights the fact your program bases its success directly in relation to Iowa. Similar to what any low level organization does, find someone in the geographic region and hope to be what they are. Occasionally these low level orgs have success and they hold on to possibility that they are close.
The larger org pats them on the head and continues to be nationally relevant and leaves the other to have 1000 page tributes to them on there website.
Cute, but ultimately sad and leaves you with obsessions like cytwins

Alright, I'll just say it. You're a cretin. I didn't want to go there but look at you. You left me no choice.

Re: Iowa MBB now a projected #1 seed
You're delusional, buddy. Your football team went undefeated in the regular season for the first time ever and went to the Rose Bowl for the first time in 25 years and your fan attendance went down by 6% from the previous year. Your basketball team is top ten and yet your gym is almost completely empty regularly. See the game against Nebraska as an example.
Meanwhile, Iowa State is terrible at football and saw an 8% increase in attendance and we regularly sell out Hilton, including against teams much worse and out of conference like Coppin State.
Don't let the FACTS get in the way of your idiocy.

You guys just might be one of the worst fan bases in the country when it comes to supporting your team.

Re: Iowa MBB now a projected #1 seed
What does it say about Iowa's football program when they have been equal or worse than ISU about half the time the last 20 years?

Hey man, he called you a cretin. That's harsh. I'm pretty sure that means you can't post for, like, five minutes, or something. Out of respect for his hurt feelings. Maybe.

Re: Iowa MBB now a projected #1 seed
It's not that simple. Are you really that thick?
"Among the top 25 attendance leaders, the biggest declines were experienced by .... Iowa...."
We were still in the top 25 in attendance you schmuck, ha are you serious? Couple that with the fact that A) Iowa had only one marquee home opponent this year and B) that fans were literally sickened by the 2014-2015 season and you'll have a decrease in attendance. BUT WE WERE STILL IN THE TOP 25. You don't know anything about fan support. You weren't one of 60,000 Iowa fans to swarm LA and watch Iowa get trounced by the fighting Christian McCaffrey's, were you?
The fan support is just fine at Iowa, and SIGNIFICANTLY better than it is at Iowa State, just look at the average ticket prices for the two schools in football (why football? It's because football is the cash cow for schools and it's why Iowa State will never be able to hold Iowa's **** when it comes to finances). Iowa dwarfs Iowa State in that regard. As far was basketball goes, Iowa's student section is pretty abysmal and doesn't show up. I'll give you that.
The only thing that I'll agree with you is that you said Iowa State is terrible at football. That's true. No argument there.

Re: Iowa MBB now a projected #1 seed
Never said you did, just commenting because that's part of how Iowa got their projected 1 seed. MSU looking pretty bad right now, probably fall out of top 20.

Re: Iowa MBB now a projected #1 seed
1) Kinda like claiming the last Iowa sellout was against ISU, and not Minnesota?
2) You're saying this about a fanbase that was in the top 25 in NCAA attendance for both Basketball and Football in 2014? Hyperbole just a little bit with this one?

What about the ranking system where two teams play each other?

Re: Iowa MBB now a projected #1 seed
So if that's posted in typical bracket configuration, Iowa is top overall seed? I don't think it's quite to that point. A 1 seed isn't out of the question, but it'd be 4th behind OU, Nova, UNC (in some order therein).
