Hawkeyes' perspective on their losses to ISU

JJ4ISU · 12-12-2007, 07:58 PM

Freeman's the one with the broken foot...don't be calling the Simpson player clumsy! Maybe Lickliter will think twice before scheduling the mighty Storm again...that game is apparently why they're not winning more games...whatever!!!

you know, we should just rub in this whole "super bowl" bit....cause I'm really tired of it. Any ideas? Super bowl rings?

My answer is I don't know.

My questions is, why is a hawkeye fan such an avid poster on a Cyclone fan website? Do you think you might be the one to change the ways of a fan base?

As for the rest of it (Iowa State vs Iowa debate)... this year the "home" team won the Cy-Hawk series, just like the year before, and the year before that. Honestly, I think it's cool and good for the rivalry if the home teams can hold their own each year. I typed that and puked in my mouth a little. It will be more cool when Iowa State can get some away wins.

Go Cyclones!

Barta: I need you to write some good clips on why our sports are better than the Rag says.
Brownlee: Yes, sir. Do you mean put us in a favorable light despite what we saw?.
Barta: Like the sunshine. Stretch the rubber band. Add women's baskeball to deflect some of the alumni gripes against our boys. No mention of criminal time though.
Brownle: How about football?
Barta: Blame Scooby Doo. Football is gone - really blame the football team.
Brownlee: And men's bball? Use the injury routine just like last year.
Barta: Yeah. And blame Simpson. They deliberately stepped on our stars' feet to keep him from jumpng. Turkeys.
Brownlee: I should have the draft into you in a jif for sending to the IC Piker.

Where do I sign up to get a Superbowl ring? As long as Kirk is their coach, I should be able to amass plenty of rings.

Iowa played my Storm? How the hell did I miss that?

THey should feel bad only beating a D3 team by that margin.

Oh I hate them...I hate them in evil and unhealthy ways. They make me want to hurt them.

1. ISU has had the better womens team for the last 10 years no question. ISU women's team is in a way different league than Iowa's. ISU was expected to win that game.

2. A healthy Wes would school Freeman anyday. Well a 50% Wes would do the same. What if Lucca could play and Juri was 100% what would the outcome be then. What if Brackins hit 5 more give me's. That game wasn't as close as the score. What if What if What if. Its like the if Tate would have finished the game 3 years ago.

3. Do they realize the Iowa FB team wasnt that good. What if ISU scores TDs instead of FGs, game over at half.

Iowa has bigger budget than ISU, they pay their coaches more (I think their WBB coach even makes more than Coach F), yet ISU has the better athletic dept, and they think Pollard is the devil. Go figure

At this point it should be abundantly clear to everyone at ISU that Pollard is running ISU into the ground, and it's quite possible we will never recover as an athletic department. I mean, we've got off the field problems galore, a completely disinterested, and possibly hostile, fanbase that boos it's players off the field on senior day, a gym that's got fewer people in it for home men's basketball games than a 4A high school, not to mention the women's program across the state, an apathetic and underachieving football program losing to lower tier MAC teams. At least we've got a decent wrestling program.

oh wait. s/ISU/Iowa.

Hawk fans need to rethink the FB game: Just think how badly you got outplayed to give a guy as shakey as Culbertson 6 FG attempts. I know the ISU didn't try any 50 yarders. A couple of them were almost extra point range. Face it Hawk fans, ISU played a bad game and still won.

The University of Iowa School of Journalism is really putting out top students. What a joke.

Even Jon Miller said EIU wouldn't have won with Freeman. Also said Brackins has amazing upside and if he made 50 of his bunnies, it would have been a blowout.

...... Seriously?

I know Alex, and he's the biggest Iowa homer I've ever met. Before the football game this fall, he sent me a message that read "I almost feel sorry for Iowa State about the beat down that coming this Saturday. Almost" An hour after the game, I got another one that said "I guess NIU and Syracuse weren't as good as I thought."

You should have fired back an immediate text to him that said "you think?" Then again, thinking and Iowa homers actually don't mix...
