Here's something from one of the DMJuice Hawkeye bloggers. I called him out after he talked a bunch of smack last week then barely said a word today about the game and moved right on to talking about Wisconsin.
What's Their Excuse??
- Thread starter isucyfan
- Start date
Actually, my office (maybe 2/3rds hawk fans) is eerily quiet today.
The hawk fan who sits next to me, and has played the "means more to you than it does to us" card in the past, hasn't said a word to me yet.

Re: Favorite Hawkeye Excuse Thread
Does Murph post on this board? If so, that deserves some serious rep!:notworthy:
The reason they're on TV is because the teams they play are from large population centers. And for some crazy reason ratings drive programming. I guess that's just too hard to understand for hawkfan.
Just heard a new excuse on Jon Miller's show:
"ISU always has a non-conference game after the Iowa-ISU game, and we always have a Big Ten game that were looking forward to".
"ISU always has a non-conference game after the Iowa-ISU game, and we always have a Big Ten game that were looking forward to".
Ok. Just wanted to have that cleared up. I didn't think Jon was that dumb. :wink:
The newest excuse.
The newest excuse that I have heard from more than one person this week:
"Since Iowa's 99 January Bowl games in 4 years, they have been able to recruit from areas all over the country. This has messed up the chemistry of the team. Iowa needs to get back to recuriting Iowa boys only."

Re: The newest excuse.
Not so much an excuse than a sudden realization. The Hawks really have gone downhill ever since their few great seasons, and oddly enough, they seem to do better with home-grown players.

Let's make a bet.
How many more of these threads can we expect to see?
I am willing to bet I've seen more anti-Hawkeye threads than pro-Cyclone threads over the course of the past 2 weeks.
I understand last week, and I understand the couple days after the game. But now, it's closer to the Toledo game than the Iowa game, and every other thread is "Squawk fans say this" or "What's their excuse now?"

Re: The newest excuse.
Exactly. I mean, the Iowa win was a huge pick up for the ISU fan base. But, there comes a time to move on.
Yes, Iowa fans are making excuses. We will be for a while. As long as your definition for an excuse is trying to explain an inexplicable loss, then it'll probably last until next year.

Re: The newest excuse.
I never understood people who do things that pertain to things they don't like.
For instance, put anti-George Bush bumper stickers on their car. Or, say, post as often as you do on the message board of a team you don't even cheer for.

Or, talk obsessively about an opponent that you claim doesn't get under your skin as much as they say.
