What school? Isn't THE University Of Iowa known as Iowa State University?

Hey, if the name fits the fans.........

90% of EIU fans are arrogant A$$bags who think they're all that and a bag of chips. They think they are the holy grail(sp) of all college Universities and among the elite in athletic programs when in actuality, you throw out a couple of lucky years and/or their allegiance to the Big 10 conference and their bowl affiliations and you have mediocrity. Now I have never met you so I don't know if you suffer from the same bird flu that the 90% spoke about above are, but you must not since the the majority of the 90% couldn't go to a college let alone the best one in the state(ISU), and the fact that you spend your time on this site shows you must have some thread of common sense.

And the comments earlier about the "blind hatred". I totally agree about the hatred, since I have hated them since I was a kid, but I have jusifiable reasons so I would not classify it as "blind".

And, just in case you are one of the 90%, "justifiable reasons" in previous paragraph does not equate to me being jealous of the success of the EIU top 5 elite athletic collegiate program, it is because of paragraph one.

But, Carver still had 4 sell-outs this year, and given, the UNI game was terrible (attendance wise and playing as well), that wasn't a true representation of the fan base.

Actually, ISU had higher attendance this year than UI did.

Actually, I think it's a reflection on society's concern about the Social Security system being on the verge of collapse and iowa catering to it's base.
