    The Roses are Dead

    In retrospect, I want to apologize about saying that things like this are why Iowa fans laugh at us. I don't want to do the po' boy thing and act like we're always kicked around and made fun of. That's not the case. First year coach and we're going to a bowl! THAT'S what torques me off...

    The Roses are Dead

    Get over it. They win next week and they're in. Kind of sad that the day we only get ELIGIBLE for a bowl you are yukking it up because Iowa doesn't go to the Rose Bowl. This is why Iowa fans laugh at us.

    other coaches twit

    Seems like we're all a bit touchy. Now even the mods are freakin'. I wish HB luck. He's a classy kid despite the offense some took at his "show." He's a smart kid and isn't too bad on the court as well. Good luck to him. I mean really, can any of us blame him? No matter how much we...

    Robinson out for the year. Richardson 4-6 weeks.

    I also don't understand. Outside of a 40 mile radius of Ames, Iowa's fanbase is pretty well respected. They're passionate--maybe to a fault--and they show up through the good and the bad. And that's the fans. And the team? So, Iowa's team is the least deserving of an NC? Really? Of all 117 or...

    Iowa #1 in 4 of 6 computer polls

    I wish I could complain about being #4 in the country. Hey Hawk fan, enjoy it while it lasts.

    Haverhill on Spartan boards...

    That was a somewhat odd thread.

    Bernstine out for season per KCCI

    Wow...a kid's broken ankle leads to an argument about the Brian Ferentz thing. Meh. I agree with ericbj -- even though he went to Iowa, he was still a graduate of a DSM school and I always hope for the best for those kids. Plus, I had heard he was doing real well in practice. Good luck to...

    Iowa Returns Tickets

    And I was at that game. A lot more purple and gold than I wanted to see.

    Eddie Podolak in Tampa

    I saw this in the Des Moines Rag and thought I'd check out the photos. A bit disappointed, I must admit. Looks like everyone was having a good time -- sure, a few too many beers -- but let's be honest, these are not nearly as bad as the story insinuated; I was expecting some stuff that would...

    Team Recruiting Ranking on Rivals

    Iowa's best recruiting class under Ferentz was in 2005(?) IIRC -- all those 4 and 5* guys. Not many of those 4 and 5 stars from that year have paid dividends. But the rest of the years Iowa's classes have looked pretty pathetic. Yet, they have finished in the top ten 2 or 3 times, gone to...

    I'm betting KF leaves IF he gets the chance.

    And what will Rhoads be treated like if he hands us a few January bowl games? At this point, I'll take a mid-to-late-December bowl game. Sometimes people look pretty stupid trying to slam our rival's post-season games when we haven't won a game since September.

    Marty read this

    Seems like Marty's successfully burrowed under some thin skin around here. Yikes.

    Meh. All's fair in love and war.

    ISU vs. Iowa Post Game Thread

    But is this a good thing? :confused: In all seriousness, I do like Lickliter. Give it a few years, though. :smile:

    The ***OFFICIAL*** Chizik Situation Thread - Updated 2:05 p.m.

    Re: Keith Murphy just confirmed it's true! My one concern about Gene was that he seemed to jump pretty quick to different jobs. Couple of years at CFU, a couple at Auburn, a couple at Texas...hmmm...a couple at ISU?

    On to the Hawkeyes

    C'mon. I think we're all just in the dumps after Drake. I think we can hang with Iowa. I also think we'll win. I know it's not 2007, but we were terrible against Drake last year. What'd we do? Came right back and beat Iowa. Maybe...MAYBE...apples to oranges, but I suspect many of us saw a...

    Tom Brands

    If Brands were a former Cyclone, was now our coach, had just won a national title and had just beaten the hawks in a dual, hawkeye fans would be crying about what a DB he is and we'd be laughing all the way to our second consecutive title. I'm just sayin'.

    Iowa MBB vs FB

    So he doesn't count? Then I guess we can just assume Barnes is coming to ISU no matter what. Sure...sounds good. :wacko:
