(Cole Bair) Mark Farley quote

[Cloneman89]

Farley is a d bag. Go find a Vanderbilt or Northwestern or Purdue. They are cupcakes normally. Stop playing FCS schools and get more revenue and don’t pay them. Finances will rule in a few years. Well it does now but playing FBS will be demanded by TV partners to increase viewership for ad money!

I'd guess you're getting rid of Iowa in this scenario?

 

[clonedude]

Most coaches that lose a game come out right away and congratulate the other team... and then ask if there are any questions?

Farley basically said if you take away the 2 INT's, etc... that it was an even game. No credit to ISU. Turnovers, penalties, special teams, etc aren't part of football I guess?

Something I recently heard which I would love to hear an answer for is. We apparently paid UNI 625k to play here. Last year Air Force only paid 325k to UNI. Baylor paid 325k to play Texas State yesterday.

Why are we paying UNI so much cash? Maybe if we paid closer to the market rate we can afford to pay for more home games instead of having to do all these 2 homes and always with g5 schools.

If UNI tells us that they want more money, I’m sure schools like western Illinois would be fine with getting 325k for a game.

Except it wasn't. Sure, the stats make it look sort of that way, but it wasn't. I remember so many ass kickings ISU took that the stats looked even because the other team could coast and use the second half as a scrimmage for their subs. Same here.

 

[Cyrocks]

I honestly don’t understand why this is considered such a disrespectful comment on here.

Can anyone imagine CMC saying, Credit them, maybe they were better than I thought, in public? Farley is just a little Hawk.

The BOLDED part Acylum.

It is like saying, "Maybe your sister isn't as ugly as I thought." or "Maybe your son isn't as fat as I thought." or "Maybe you're not as dumb as I thought." It's a backhanded compliment. The "better than I thought" comment was a jab and unnecessary.

 

[Marcelason78]

……I know Mark struggles in public with expressing things but when you get him in a calmer situation, he's very appreciative…

So you’re saying he’s only a part-time jerk?

 

[JP4CY]

I understand the sentiment and opinions here. Whether true or not, Farley did speak well about "ISU, the opportunity for the game, etc" last week on the morning Rush. Now that could just be being fake but he was complimentary.

 

[CycloneVet]

I want us to quit playing UNI. He acts like a total douche canoe and shows no respect so we should just drop them.

We can play them, they are cheap, don’t demand a home game and draw a crowd. We just need the games to go like yesterday

Except he’s saying the exact opposite of your examples.

I’m guessing the BoR kind of pushes the athletic department’s hand on us playing them. Just weird that it seems like we play them every other year when iowa plays them every 3-4 years

It's pretty much the same as saying "I didn't think they were that good, but maybe they are.". That seems a little disrespectful to me.

The first words out of his mouth should have been something like the following:

"Congratulations to Iowa State on a hard fought win. While I'm disappointed in our team's performance, I'm sure some of our issues had to do with quality of our opponent today."

That's a lot more classy than "Maybe they were a little better than I thought."

Yeah, after you exclude their turnovers and our big plays it was an "even" game because their 1's played against our 2's and 3's the majority of the game. Heck we played 35 guys on defense alone!

Funny how Farley forgot to acknowledge that.

 

[ripvdub]

So the tv networks care who we play? Uni vs whatever? I assume if we get the same tv revenue the ath dept will get whomever they can bet on the cheap. The real atrocity is play road games at Mac schools abs loading ou t on home games.

He has to sell it to the news and his fan base. Every coach has to. Anyone that watched it knows it wasn't that close.

 

[isufbcurt]

Maybe that's how other schools use it but UNI takes that check from Iowa State, or whoever, and it all goes to the athletic budget. Mark doesn't get a dime of it for football. UNI gets nothing from Iowa State for transportation or anything else.

Next time we will make sure to reserve a camping section for poor UNI since they can't afford to pay their hotel bill.

I’m starting to side with the posters who say we’re the most thin-skinned fan base in college sports.

 

[Pope]

Not thin skinned, just shaking my head at the lack of class Farley displays year after year.

When you get beat, the first thing you always do is congratulate and acknowledge your opponent. You learn that in 3rd grade.

Yes. Because if it’s mandated it’s obviously genuine and heartfelt.

Not mandated but preferred over being a tool and a prick like Farley always is.
