Iowa board response when Purdue fan asked about cyclones

This is correct. Venomous resentment and projected inadequacies are their forte.
They would rather something bad happen to someone else, than something good happen to them.

I was going to say that this, The Yearly Collapse, was a bad time for them, but then remembered they still haven't evacuated the Rose Bowl experience from their gullets. By which I mean Ronnie Harmon.

Like a crabby old man living alone in a trailer, they cannot abide their younger, better-looking, better-educated sibling -- aka Us -- succeeding. At all. Every mention of us sends him into a frothing rage.

So sad. So very, very sad.

While we have 3 pages on what a Hawkeye fan said about us to a Purdue fan. both are sad
 
Hawkeyenation has turned into a complete wasteland over there. I went over there Sunday night to read what they were saying about the Temple matchup. Instead the top 2 threads were "Dan Dakich is sick of Iowa State" and "I hate everything about Michigan State". Really nothing about the Temple or even possible Villanova matchup.

They know. They know.

And really guys, a 3 page thread about what an Iowa fan, and ISU hater, had to say about your team? Is it any worse than the ISU fans who hate Iowa would say about us? Not a chance! I mean, I get you calling Iowa fans "butthurt", but look at your guys over here complaining about what someone said....on a message board....come on!

Plus, I think you guys have a good shot at beating Purdue, if that's your 2nd round match up. Their guards aren't all that great, and they don't play necessarily quick ball. If you push is up the court and make your jumpers, you'll have a great shot at the Sweet 16. Their bigs are good, and they'll push McKay around, and out rebound you by 10, but their weak guard play will be their downfall, and ISU's biggest advantage.

Says the guy complaining about a guy complaining on a message board about guys complaining about what was said on another message board.

That wasn't really fun to type, can we end this now?
I'm here to be civil, and I like discussing Iowa and ISU basketball with fans that aren't anti the opposing school.

I'm going to go ahead and say this was probably HerkyFan over on their Rivals page? That guy is just the worst and even their own fans think he's a moron.

I assume that he's mentally ill. 100% serious and not being silly.

There are a couple of ISU morons that get into it with him EVERY time and they are just as bad.

First- Iona scares me and I am in no way looking ahead. I was checking out the iowa boards to see what they thought of their draw ( yes I root for the other Iowa schools when the are not playing the Cyclones). Purdue fan asked board what they thought of a potential Purdue and Iowa state match up. One of the more interesting responses:

Great offensive players, don't bother to play much defense. They only run 6 deep and are often too tired to keep fighting late in games. Their roster is mostly transfers who quit on other teams, an attitude embraced by Cyclone fans and coaches alike. Their team leader is Georges Niang, who has racked up over 2000 career points while giving up over 3500. He acts like an idiot and may try to grab his opponent's genitals. Their old coach quit after losing to UAB, and after being a top 5 preseason team, they finished this year 10-10. Being in the Big 12 is the only reason they aren't a 9 seed. Purdue will be the most physical team they've played in months, and should win by 20+.

Their mascot is supposedly a cyclone, although if you look at it, its clearly a bird trapped in a cyclone. They proudly wear the colors of McDonalds/ketchup and mustard.

Seems to me the epitome of quitting is the finish to the hawks season this year. Add that to the second half they played against us, and I would have to say, the clear cut quitters are over on the eastern side of the state.
 
I think they are so preoccupied with ISU because they don't particularly like their own team. Whatever, at least maybe our basketball team has taken the venom away from the Stanford band.
 
So a transfer who leaves after being a teams leading scorer is a "quitter", then what is a transfer who leaves after never seeing the floor and misses his gf?
 
All Temple fans need to see are the last couple Iowa basketball Look-a-Like threads that we put together here which hopefully someone can find

Honestly I thought this was hilarious. The line about Niang giving up 3,500 points is a good one. So was the "it's clearly a bird trapped in a cyclone" line. That's some solid banter.

So they think Purdue beats ISU by 20 when ISU beat Iowa who beat Purdue twice huh? Ok I guess.......

In their minds, iSu has never, ever beat iowa. EVER. iowa simply loses to iSu by not playing well, not finishing, not caring, etc, etc.

iowa never loses or gets beat. Even when they do
