Peak Iowa Fan

- Start date
Iowa fans are utterly convinced it's still the 80s. I honestly doubt most of them have any idea Rhoads has gone to three bowls at Iowa State. They don't have any idea how good any of their competition is in present day. Probably still think Michigan and Penn State are the toughest games on their schedule.
Noticed this in a thread linked from the LOL thread and felt that it deserved its own thread. This is it. This is peak Iowa fan. Their whole fanbase summed up in a single sentence.
Their contention is that it's just coaching and nothing to do with talent on the field.
If KF would play Beathard and the WRs on the bench they would score 35 points a game.
It's not all coaching hawk fans.
Do we really want to open Pandora's box by trying to figure out what is going on inside the mind of a hawk fan? What little brain activity there is will certainly be focused on screaming "Go hawks!", sexual thoughts about Hayden Fry, and remembering to ask "do you want fries with that?" so they don't lose another fast food job.
Is this Aaron White's alter ego? Why do we even bother playing the games? Just put them down at 13-0 and the playoffs. They can turn Kinnick into a parking lot.
Great Post.....this post is at least "Thee Post of this Year".......thee ioa squawks are real great at overachieving at underachieving...lol
I think you just tapped into the mind of Jon Miller... was it scary in there?

douglasbader is an idiot. I've followed that board for a long time, primarily the basketball board. He is clueless about basketball.

The thought process that it must have taken to get to the point that you actually believe that statement must be entertaining. Really don't get the "We are the better team at the end of the day" argument. At the end of the day you lost the head-to-head match-up, aka your one chance to prove you are actually better.
Something I also want to discuss is the "Congrats, you won your super bowl" comments. I have grown up in other rivalries (Texas vs Texas A&M, South Carolina vs Clemson...Dad an A&M alum and brother a Clemson alum), and this is by far the stupidest response to a loss I have ever witnessed. And the weird thing is I hear it over and over again. It’s not just some subset of stupid Iowa fans, it’s practically systemic. Is there some original source for this remark, and why did anyone who heard this remark think "Yup, that'll show 'em!" Really digs me to the core every time I hear it, mostly because I utterly despise stupid people.
TBH - I only hear the superbowl comment when one side is talking about what the other side is saying.
We think the other side thinks this so we perpetuate it.

The Super Bowl thing is hilarious, they just can't come up with any other reason that they would lose. You know, maybe like:
Coaching
Talent
Heart
Effort
