Time for a Real Discussion About Caitlin Clark

He’s he the guy that kept intentionally fouling one of bigs, maybe BRE?

I genuinely feel bad for Iowa fans who like basketball that Fran ball has them brainwashed into thinking Brock Harding is taking them to the promised land.

He might be a good bench piece in a year or two, maybe a serviceable starter as a junior/senior.

Maybe we're just spoiled from having some of the best point guards in the nation coming through here so often. (Tinsley, Stinson, Blalock, Morris, Tyrese, Lipsey...too many to mention)

Congrats on being a rational one.

Realize pretty much every negative comment about Purdy on X/Twitter is a Hawkeye troll though. Especially last year you should have been really embarassed since this CC thread bothers you. Your Iowa fans are exactly like the ISU fans you're crying about in this thread.

Likewise if you read this thread you can tell that half of the ISU fans are gigantic over the moon CC fans like you say you love Brock. So...no issue at all.
Peace!
 
Not true. I was defending the belittling you folks were giving Brock Harding for winning Illinois Mr. Basketball. And for the record, Omaha who? Does he play for you guys? Brock plays.

And as I stated in those previous threads I sent my two boys through Iowa State. While I’ve always been an Iowa fan at heart, I used to root for both teams. Threads like this and others have made that difficult in recent years. You guys need to concentrate on successes that you’ve had with Mens and women’s BB, a solid outlook for FB and improving wrestling, rather than constantly trying to put down Iowa. That’s why your only fans are ISU grads…you’ve successfully turned everyone else off to your programs.
Well you need to head right over to the Iowa forums and say the exact same thing then.....and if you dont like what you see here whether its this OP or whatever they may be just stay away from it.

Review the comments then cause people have focused 90% on the negatives. Was MJ childish? He was evicted from 11 games in his career due to double technicals. He got upset like all competitors of his level do. Was Angel Reese childish at the end of the championship game last year? Absolutely that was childish. Face it. If she was on ISU’s team this conversation wouldn’t even come up.
But CC acts childish nearly every single game. So you are telling me you are perfectly fine with CC's temper tantrum last night when her team was up 22 points with just over 13 minutes to play?

And no... if CC was on ISU I know many fans, including myself, would want CC to mature on the court. Many Timberwolves fans had the same sentiment with Karl Anthony Towns during the Memphis playoff series. Just because the star player is on the team you support doesn't mean they are immune to their own fans criticizing the player's behavior.
 
Here is an interesting chart posted by Brent Blum in 2018:

I'd like to see this map extended onto Illinois. My friend is adamant that more U of I grads are from Illinois than from Iowa. He also believes that most Illinois students were at Iowa because they couldn't get accepted into most of the Illinois schools. :)

Jay Cutler made a career out of it.

I mean, it's true. She gets hit and bumped constantly.

The women's game is terribly officiated as it is and then you get a player like Clark and they have absolutely no idea how to officiate her or any high skill level player.

That's actually concern with Audi Crooks going forward. As she gets stronger and quicker they're going to butcher the way she gets officiated.
She doesn't get hammered or bumped any more than any other player.

??? I’m not sure what you’re getting at but I belong to both the 247 and ON3 sites. Neither have threads like what are on here, I.e. this one, F**k Iowa, iowa FB Recruiting, etc. The 247 Site started one up a year or so ago that simply makes fun of all the things said on these types of threads. I honestly don’t see the hatred of all things ISU over there that I see here.

An insurance rep in my wife’s town openly admits to the last part. Said why he was there and several others he knew.

So your in-state rivals forums are all good discussion back and forth?
 
$280 highest sold on TM before fees. That was section 105 row A.
So I guess we'll have to see if the prices on those courtside verified resale tix come down at all, those are the ones with the sky high pricetags. Right now if I wanted a seat in the section/row you mentioned it's over $800 before fees.

Well, thank you for your opinion of ISU sports instate rivals threads. Coming from your position as an in state rival, there's clearly no possibility of bias in your opinion...
 
While I only frequent the paid sites, with a quick look Im not aware of any in-state rivals forums on the Iowa sites. Note that I only see yours because they’re intermixed with all of your forums.
Note: you can opt the **** out of ISR if it bothers you to see it intermixed with all of the forums.

Note: You can opt out of CF entirely if it hurts you.

Hopefully you can take something from these pro tips.

Imagine that, you say you don’t see this back and forth between Hawkeyes and cyclones in your sites, but fail to mention that Hawkeye sites don’t welcome any of it.
