lets get it clear here he didn't call Jack Trice anything. those are the words of Heartland from the article.His words are absolute trash - calling Trice a Kindergarten Class in comparison is just pure theatrics.
However, he is very correct that our stadium is smaller than the majority of the SEC's and they do have rabid fan bases even at non-perennial powers like South Carolina, Mississippi State, etc.
But his quote and his other quote about never wanting to go to Ames, Iowa is just douche leakage from a douchebag.
No he's not...he's comparing the team to SEC teams. It's not about the city or the stadium.lets get it clear here he didn't call Jack Trice anything. those are the words of Heartland from the article.
he's comparing Ames to the other cities in the SEC.
Here's the quote...lets get it clear here he didn't call Jack Trice anything. those are the words of Heartland from the article.
he's comparing Ames to the other cities in the SEC.
suppose its how you want to take the context of the quote, but he never mentions jack trice.Here's the quote...
“You can’t limp into this league. You’ll get run over,” Finebaum said, according to On3’s George Stoia. “Nobody needs to take the Big 12 and compare it to the SEC. There’s simply no comparison. OU’s done so well, but everyone talks about going to Iowa State. Well, I can give you 12 places in the SEC that make Iowa State look like a kindergarten class.”
And the second...
“I’ve had people tell me, ‘you don’t understand what it’s like to go to Ames, Iowa.’ Well, first of all, I don’t want to go to Ames, Iowa,” Finebaum told TexAgs. “I can assure you, Saturday night in Ames, Iowa, does not compare to Saturday night in Auburn, Baton Rouge, The Swamp, Knoxville. I mean, you can go 11 deep in the SEC. You think it’s easy to play in South Carolina?

Or that.No he's not...he's comparing the team to SEC teams. It's not about the city or the stadium.
Again, its how you want to take the context of the article.Link to the actual interview? Why would he be comparing the cities?
I take it as the environment of the stadium. The rest of the city means nothing in the realm of college football, it's the stadium atmosphere that matters and is what he's trying to compare.suppose its how you want to take the context of the quote, but he never mentions jack trice.
He mentions the city of ames vs the cities of auburn, baton rouge, and knoxville. He calls gainsville the swamp, though.
Which if thats the point- it's a dumb take because 61K fans in a stadium is a great atmosphere.I take it as the environment of the stadium. The rest of the city means nothing in the realm of college football, it's the stadium atmosphere that matters and is what he's trying to compare.
Again, its how you want to take the context of the article.
Basically he's saying he'd rather goto Baton Rouge (city or stadium) over going to Ames (city of stadium)
And honestly- who could blame him?
What he probably doesn't know is that Iowa State will still get 60K+ to attend the game so the atmosphere isn't a funeral.
