Iowa offering free tickets for the MSU game

[VeloClone]

By the time you add CR, Marion, Hiawatha, some of those surrounding towns, you’ll get there.
Hell, Marion is bigger than Carroll, Jefferson, and Boone combined.

Yes, according to the Census Bureau you are absolutely correct:

I am pointing out the hypocrisy of Iowa State fans. Iowa State can’t come close to selling out a game at JTS; at least Iowa sells out Carver on occasion. Iowa State also offers a bunch of promos in an attempt to boost attendance for football, just like Iowa has to do for basketball. I find it hilarious that you guys pat yourselves on the back for being the BEST FANS IN AMERICA!!!!, then make fun of Iowa basketball for doing the exact same thing your football program does.

You know what is really hilarious? Your POS AD using slogans and tag words that Matt Campbell has used since the day he started here.

I suppose it is flattering that Barta follows Campbell around. Genuinely your predilection with @CyTwins and all things ISU is getting creepy. You really aren't doing very well. What amplifies the hilarious here is that as Barta is on Campbell's jock, you are obsessively relentless being in @CyTwins shadow.

Below is a great example of your obsession. You are constantly in Cytwins butt following him around far too closely.

Not sure about the comparisons of population and distance, but I was really, really impressed at the turnout in Lawrence, Kansas on Monday night. There was a lot of traffic headed east toward KC after the game. No attendance problem there.

East to KC and then North to Carroll.

I still can't believe that you write this talking about Boone, Jefferson, Fort Dodge and Carroll for ISU and totally ignore the 250,000 people in the CR metro (about half an hour away) and the nearly half a million in the Quad Cities (about 3/4 of an hour away) for Iowa.

In all fairness both CR and the Quad Cities are pretty forgettable.

I’ve uploaded this picture before. The response from numerous Iowa fans was that there was a big snowstorm the night before, so the attendance was poor. This is more pathetic than any Drake argument ever could be.

Bro, I know you hate Iowa, but this pic is from the Lickliter years. Even you can't blame Iowa fans for not wanting to watch those teams. They made your eyes bleed.

Lickliter's team that year was ranked higher in KenPom than Fran's team last year...

Good thing you ditched that AD.

Holy yikes.

What were the rankings of each team?

Good thing you ditched that AD.

I wish we could.

How sad is it that you need to give away free tickets to a game vs the #6 team in the country?

UNI lets all students in for Free to all sporting events. It actually is put in to their tuition. Has been that way forever.

UNI and Iowa Basketball is a good comparison

I'd knew he'd come back up eventually.

 

[Shawker]

The "feels like" temp at tip-off tomorrow night is negative 16 and by the time the game gets over it drops to negative 20. I'm sure that has nothing to do with this though.

And they want ISU and Iowa to subsidize their AD.

 

[CyTwins]

What were the rankings of each team?

2009 Iowa Hawkeyes - 87th in KenPom
2018 Iowa Hawkeyes - 88th in KenPom

Does Carver not have a heating system? That sucks if true

Do they have to keep things cool in a morgue?

Oh twins...

What does the temperature have to do with a basketball game? I can understand snow considering people have to drive but basketball is played indoors. You know that right?
