Maybe the Fran Fade made an early appearance this year Typically does not come till February. Since Conner didn't see his shadow does that mean 6 more weeks of poor defense?
Toe/squawks lose
- Thread starter Jdk
- Start date
LOL it's like a 45 minute drive or less for about half of their team.
Iowa dropped from #27 in the NET to #60. Yikes.
Likely they are not even that good. Especially without the Murray kid....only legit BB player on team.....and the lazy mad franny didn't even have to recruit him.....he jus showed up.
Probably.
But if you think about it EIU has Christmas holiday pretty much the same calendar day as the Hawkeyes.
So that's a bit like "We lost because of Wilson Brand basketballs" (which both teams are playing with.) Or their football loss in 1985 was because of rain - like it only rained on the players in Steeler look-a-like unis.
I’m going to get some “dumb” responses to this…and I can live with that.
Can someone explain to me how a thread created to revel in an Iowa loss…when they beat us by 20 (and it sadly probably wasn’t that close) doesn’t make them OUR Super Bowl (but when some are claiming we are theirs)? I’m just having a hard time understanding how we can make fun of them at this point.
In my mind in a real-life situation, an Iowa State fan’s presence would actually make an Iowa fan feel better, as they could just say “scoreboard” in relation to our game…and again they feel better and we feel worse. Again, seems like shaky ground to be standing on when making fun of another team.

1 We were having a pretty good season.
2 Then we lost badly to our hated in-state rival. We feel like ****.
3 They seemed to be doing good (not great, but good). They're feeling pretty good.
4 Then they lost to some nobody team, at home, after being favored by more than 30 points. As a former Eastern Iowan, putting up with hok fan superiority complex for 40 plus years, watching the pure agony their fan base is feeling after this is something I celebrate.
It's not so much an us versus them thing. More of a "Their agony in any sports outing is fun REGARDLESS of whether we're better or worse than them!"

Yeah I know I shouldn't like this because of quad 1 wins blah, blah, blah, but I did because it's funny. F*ck the Hawks!
Here is a photo a friend of mine took that was at the game, the clock reads. 7:45, not sure of the half. Looks like 3,000 at most.
Lizzo is going to have to put on some weight to play Ogundele.
Must be 9,000 grabbing a Hok Kone when this was taken...Here is a photo a friend of mine took that was at the game, the clock reads. 7:45, not sure of the half. Looks like 3,000 at most.
Actually looks closer to 300 than 3,000.Here is a photo a friend of mine took that was at the game, the clock reads. 7:45, not sure of the half. Looks like 3,000 at most.
Not even close to the 10,700 EIU reported as at the game. They have to be counting tickets sold, and they have a lot of older people that have tickets but just do not get out much in the winter.
It's a rivalry. You think Iowa fans didn't have a field day with 2002 ISU football's crater while they won a share of the B1G, or in '05 after ISU stomped them but ended up giving Baylor their first road B12 win? They should have.
FWIW it's pretty easy to point out that this year Iowa shot extremely well from all over, and actually defended ISU, which is uncharacteristic from any other game, while it was easy to see that ISU didn't defend and was bad on offense even for them.
I've read/heard some say 'well ISU did the same thing last year in Ames' but ISU shot at or below their season averages in the 2021 game, including terribly from the line and simply defended Iowa like normal.
I think it may be 7:45 before tip? Otherwise where are the players?Here is a photo a friend of mine took that was at the game, the clock reads. 7:45, not sure of the half. Looks like 3,000 at most.
Could be, he gives no clue of the time he took it, but let's say it was taken 8 minutes before the start of the game, are thousands of people working their way on the stairs to their seats, or hanging around up top, waiting to go down? Sure, does not look like it.
That's what a lot of folks were asking during the second half...
