    Atmosphere…horrible

    It’s not just ISU fans of course. I was an Iowa season ticket holder for a couple of decades. It just isn’t worth it anymore. I can watch at home.

    Cy-Hawk Game Discussion

    No idea how it would have turned out if he hadnt fallen, but he was flat out beaten either way. He would have been open by 10 yards instead of 15.

    Iowa Football Recruiting

    How does that work for ISU making money though? Doesn’t traveling to Kent State remove a home game? I guess what I’m asking is if ISU always has 7 home games.

    Should ISU Subsidize Iowa Athletics?

    Do you think that the extra money Iowa makes them have a competitive advantage in the major sports? For the sake of discussion let’s call that football and men’s basketball. Does the extra Iowa revenue give them an advantage in those sports? I don’t see it. Certainly in the non-revenue sports...

    Nebraska sux

    ND is a middle of the road FCS team. It says a lot about Nebraska football when they have to schedule the 2nd best team in North Dakota to get a win.

    Nebraska sux

    I’m not going through this thread post by post, but even as an Iowa fan I wonder why any established coach would consider that a great job. I guess the money but those fans are nuts. It’s not just that they want to win it’s that they feel entitled to the win. That national championships 25 years...

    At different points in the thread all were discussed.

    Iowa not a top 32 team?

    Let’s try this. The totality of the debate is close. Nebraska is the name brand. Iowa is close. Iowa is a lands better football program right now. In total, iowa is a better catch for top 30 than Nebraska. Perhaps inelegant, but that’s what I was shooting for.

    Iowa not a top 32 team?

    I don’t understand where the reading comprehension issues come from. I’ve said the debate with Nebraska is close. Iowa is head and shoulders a better football program. Nebraska has a bigger name.

    Iowa not a top 32 team?

    I didn’t say that. At any point. Nebraska is a tough one. Iowa is a better football school right now. Nebraska has a better name and brand. Wisconsin is obviously a better brand and a better football school than iowa. I think I’ve said that more than once in this thread.

    Iowa not a top 32 team?

    I’d argue with significantly on Michigan State but at that point it’s moving periods. I can’t necessarily disagree with anything else.

    Iowa not a top 32 team?

    We are talking brand. My point is that Iowa has the name. You mentioned Minnesota. More people follow Iowa than Minnesota. That state is a hockey state, a Vikings state, and a twins state, in that order. Iowa has some order of iowa and iowa state. Not really much else. For name brand, Iowa is...

    100 isn’t bad. I paid 150 at Illinois for a spot parked on the street one night.

    You mean $40.00. There was an extra . So I was making sure not 400. I was afraid I’d be kept up until 3 am by drunken college kids. We have solar panels with lithium ion batterit’s. Should be good. We boondock quite a bit. if you allow visiting Iowa fans I’d buy a beer for anyone in here.

    Iowa not a top 32 team?

    Disagree. Perhaps our definition of "brands" is different. Iowa is ahead of Rutgers. Iowa is ahead of northwestern. Illinois. Maryland, although this one is close as they have the under armor thing. Iowa is ahead of Purdue, although they can’t beat them. Obviously Indiana. As a current brand...

    VetMed Camping

    I thought I’d jump into this. I’ve been gifted pretty good seats to the Kansas State game and I was thinking of doing the rv thing as well. Thing is we aren’t much of tailgaters and would probably do well staying out of the immediate stadium area. Is there a campground fairly close that we could...

    Iowa not a top 32 team?

    Great post. If your intent is to get the best football programs in place, it’s hard to exclude the current version of the Iowa football team. If you’re trying to build the biggest "brand", there’s a bunch of teams that would jump them

    Im not a lawyer but hypothetically where are the damages here? When you sue you have to show you were injured. An anonymous internet message board poster saying you broke the rules damages the player how? I don’t get it but whatever.

    There will be ISU fans in every section. The official seats are sort of spread out.
