    Just speaking for myself, I didn't register for this site to tell ISU they didn't matter to me. I have been on several message boards over the years. I like to switch around to get different views and perspectives. Used to be on Scout, was on 24/7 for a while, was on Nation but tired of that one...

    Oh, so we base who the top rival is based on the number of Beat whomever shirts. Okay. I suppose when you have two teams in a state who play each other, wearing a Beat State shirt might get under the skin of their fans. I wonder how many Wisconsin fans live in Iowa who get ticked off when...

    Talk about dumb - where did I ever mention those schools? Do we even play those schools? No. It's not about worthy. If you don't think there is bad blood between Iowa and Wisky, then you are the clueless one. Even dumber is someone arguing that a school has to be the biggest rival based on...

    So therefore, just because Iowa fans post on here doesn't automatically make ISU their biggest rival.

    Thanks for letting me know nation and report exist. Not sure how it is relevant. There are Hawkeye fans on various sites of other teams. What does that prove? A ton of Hawkeye fans flooded the New Mexico boards during Hairdo's reign there. Does that mean N.M. was a big rival?

    Really? It has nothing to do with fans being arrogant. It's a border state war. It's a conference game that has implications in conference standings. Former UI coaches and athletes being coaches at Wisky amped it up. Recruiting wars with Wisky rubbing in the coupe of recruits like Bohannon and...

    Just sifting thru the Wisky posts. I would say Wisky is a bigger rival. Especially with the perception of some fans that BB and ol' Bo stole some of our recruits. Plus games against Wisky are conference games. I don't have any link to any debate on the topic, but I do look forward to your links...

    You are right. I can't wrap my head around not wanting to go support your team when given a chance. I never complained about ISU not buying the tickets. I assumed once tickets were available to the general public, the ISU fans would have jumped at it and the game would have sold out that day...

    Do you realize many fans drive from DM to IC for home games? So I suppose many of them would try to get tickets. I have no idea if the majority comes from DM, because it depends on the # of tickets available and if there are other tickets available besides Iowa's allotment. But I do know people...

    Why wouldn't they come from Iowa City? I go to the games when they are in Ames and a many who attend the game in Ames are regular season ticket holders and some are even further away than Iowa City, including other states. Iowa fans drive to other B1G schools to games, why wouldn't they drive to...

    What does it have to do with Iowa State? It has to do with there were at one point a few thousand tickets available for their game with Iowa and they had a chance to buy the tickets. As for the unsold tickets, Iowa allotted 10,000 for students and I believe when they started the free tuition...

    Yes, I expect to win every game. But it doesn't mean they will and Ferentz has a history of losing games to some crap school.

    Because we are playing Little Sisters of the Poor and Cupcake U. Ferentz will play it close to the vest and will probably end up losing to one of them because that is his M.O. We run a boring offense as it is. Combine it with the schedule....then when it starts getting cold... Quite frankly...

    Actually, the fact is that in the end most of the tickets will be sold. The fact that Iowa has sold almost to capacity for its games actually does show and reflect support by the fanbase. And Iowa fans do travel well. Just the whole controversy about me asking why ISU fans weren't buying up...

    There have been jabs made at Iowa's inability to sell out. One person called if failure of the Hawkeye fan base. Considering by the time the games roll around most games will be at least 98% capacity, not sure I call it a failure and if I was an ISU fan, I definitely wouldn't be calling it a...

    Listen up, I don't give a rip how you lump me. I am just pointing out the irony. Now you have made it even more ironic. I am going to assume there are tickets left for ISU games. Perhaps I am wrong, but doubtful. So ISU fans are mocking Iowa for having a thousand or so tickets left for games yet...

    A geography lesson for you...the east coast states are not contiguous to Iowa. That is where Ferentz likes to recruit. Looks like about 23 on the roster are from contiguous states. Oh the irony of your post, since some fans wonder why Ferentz doesn't get more kids from Illinois.

    The fact they are over 90% capacity for all games minimum is not negative. In the end most tickets will be sold. But yes, their marketing to get tickets sold have been very lame. It deserves to be mocked. But let's face it, ISU is in no position to mock the fact that there are still a couple...
