My thoughts exactly...

If ISU had the ANF sticker on their helmets, would anyone outside of Iowa get the message?

I mean, you're never on tv.

It sounds to me that some Cyclones are a little jealous of Iowa's good marketing skills. Iowa used the sticker to raise awareness of the struggling farmers during the 1980's. Now the tables are turned and Iowa's using the stickers to raise money for the university which is having budget cuts. I don't have a problem with it because farmers are in no way obligated to give money to them, its purely voluntary. If you think Iowa farmers are stupid enough to be duped into giving money to Iowa because of a sticker on their helmit than I'm afraid your the stupid one.

Nope, just two of them. I'm guessing that the majority of people here either don't have an opinion one way or another, or have feelings that are similar to yours.

Does that mean that if Iowa hadn't trademarked you'd be cool with it?

I would still find it to be painfully disingenuous, but it wouldn't bother me nearly as much.

A low move? Last time I checked, Iowa City was still in Iowa. There's thousands of farmers that are Hawk fans. Why shouldn't Iowa be able to give a "shout out" to the farmers? Quit crying about it.

Yup, and the typical response that I heard from uofi fan is that ISU should drop to MAC / C-USA or Division II. Ames (or L'Ames as your counterparts like to call it) is in Iowa too and I see the type of respect that the typical uofi fan has for fellow Iowans that don't believe as they do.

In my experience, most uofi fans like the farmer to be successful only if that farmer is a uofi fan. They actually hate the university in the state who most supports that business and would rather it just fold up and die. If HF really wanted to support farmers, why didn't he fund some scholastic opportunities for agriculture students at ISU?

Get a life. That goes for the author of that article as well.

Right on par w/a "your mom" joke. I bow to your intellectual superiority.

Enough to write what amounts to be the temper tantrum of a four-year old?

For two reasons. 1. He had a football team to coach. 2. That isn't his job.

I like you, Al. But you and that blog post are way off base here.

Besides, you're a law student at Drake, and you live in Beaverdale, so I'm guessing that your direct involvement in agriculture on any level is limited to buying sweet corn at the stand.

And I'm guessing this is the extent of your involvement in agriculture?

That's a cute family photo, I see your wife has lost some weight.

She's your wife? You're cool with that arrangement?

I don't think that's HiltonMagic in that pic. Those whales are Cub fans. Hilton is a Red Sox fan.

But nice try.

Homeboy's hat says "Las Vegas."

Nope, My Whaling days are over. But you have fun with that one.

Correct. And I try to stay as far away from Cubs/whales as possible.

That's funny, I can't read what it says. You must have some inside info...

 

[CyCrazy]

So what your saying is YOUR hat says Las Vegas? And when did you become a "Homeboy" ?

It looks like Vegas is the second word. It clearly doesn't say Cubs.
