Interesting thread on the Iowa board...

I agree - I didn't mean to hi-jack the thread, it just gets to me when people take pleasure in things like this.

Nobody seeks pleasure in the guys actions.

BUT

We do seek pleasure in the fact that Hawk fans who constantly gave it to us about Jason Berryman for years have to shut their faces.

They show up for much less than this. Just saying..........

Exactly. If this were a big name program like Ohio State or USC, ESPN would be all over it.

Thus the Catch 22 for Iowa fans: They'd rather not get nationwide attention for this, but if they did it would at least mean somebody outside of the state of Iowa gives a crap about them.

And before somebody shoots back with a glass-houses reference, I know that nobody outside of the state gives a crap about us either. The difference is that most of us know that about ISU whereas many Iowa fans have delusions of grandeur.
