    Way to generalize the whole fanbase like I was accused of. I KNOW the Hawkeyes are not relevant. I pm'ed another poster a couple weeks ago and stated "I am not a fan of my own delusional fan base. We are not some elite athletic program many pretend they are to ISU fans. Apparently, their...

    Perhaps you haven't read my posts then. Basically I asked a simple question and it led to this long discussion. A couple posters couldn't comprehend why they would buy season tickets to UI. One person admitted he didn't realize single game tickets had been offered. Funny on the sell outs. I...

    Nor did I. I just found the comment a little fairweatherish.

    Are you denying your fan base stated this? Because they did.

    I agree with you on what you are saying with the booing. The Shada incident was very embarrassing. I also agree most of the time people are booing Ferentz. When he doesn't attempt to score before half inside the 50 and stuff like that lead to fans booing him as he runs off the field. I know...

    My point is the number of tickets sold is somewhat indicative of the total attendance. Or did 20,000 ISU fans buy off the secondary market for the blue turf bowl in Boise?

    I have been to many stadiums as well. I agree with your assessment. It is a real treat to go to Madison.

    Speaking for myself, I don't appreciate when Iowa fans do inappropriate things. I don't appreciate the ones who make total fools of themselves by making up stuff on the forums, which was why I got accused of not being a Hawkeye fan when I did battle with JWR. He was an embarrassment and I called...

    Well I do have a clue. I was well aware Mac did not do well his final year. I thought maybe I was missing something that happened. He has probably been one of your best coaches since Bruce. Rhoads is energetic and personable, but has yet to turn the corner. With the schedule he has, not sure the...

    I am sorry I don't follow your teams so closely. Mac had winning records at ISU. He went to bowl games five times in six years. Didn't he do better than the majority of the coaches you have had?

    If they make the national championship games in FB, MBB and WBB, I will take you up.

    I think you are making my point. B1G seems to have more intense rivalry games and this is the stuff that is often experienced at B1G venues. I don't think ISU fans have that same experience at B12 venues because they don't have that one big rival, particularly since Neb and Mo left. Iowa and...

    Yes it is a problem that Iowa fans are not buying tickets. I never stated it wasn't. I also said that their marketing to try to get tickets sold is pathetic. They aren't selling out and I am surprised ISU fans didn't go after all the tickets. I used to be on the Rivals rivalry forum, putting...

    He did? How? Five bowl games in six years....seemed like he was doing alright to me. Maybe there is more to the story than I heard. Light years ahead of Mr. Ego Chizik.

    Do ISU fans tend not to travel much to away games? It doesn't seem like you have any big rivals in the B12 now that Nebraska is out. Many of the B1G stadiums are not friendly and you expect stuff thrown at you, things to be said and a few getting into a fight. I guess fan behavior has never...

    Davis should never been run out of town. I don't care for Ferentz's style and he is not a good game day coach. He is just over .500 in the B1G, a conference that has fallen tremendously, and doesn't even play the top teams many of the years. They have a soft OOC schedule and the B1G IMO has...

    Do you think Iowa had an allotment of 50,000 for the Orange Bowl?

    Fans, fan attitude, fan support help build the program. If you all go into one of your big time games thinking you will lose, I willing to bet the atmosphere will not be as exciting and electric. Some of your fan base is already questioning if ISU can beat Iowa and so they just figure why...
