You realize we are talking about BASKETBALL right? You know that thing where you shoot something the color of an orange into a basket? Also averaging 49k per home game for a 3-9 team aint bad. At least we don't boo our seniors on their last game ever (yes that was a low blow but so was your statement

).

Also...... ISU:15 EIU:13 (No touchdowns ftw?)

Also also...... We beat you in basketball and won the Hy-Vee trophy.

I'm just getting this all out there because I'm sure I'll be inclined to say it in the future.

I'm half joking/half serious with this question, I'd actually like to know. I graduated from ISU in 06 and I don't recall too many sellouts.

Toldeo, Kent State, and UNLV were all pretty packed. Same with Oklahoma this year.

Oh the memories of Iowa falls....Went to ECC for a part of a semester. I have to tell you, it was hell. The townies against the college students is funny though, they hated us.

"Pretty packed" does not = sold out. What is the max capacity at JT anyway? Has there ever been a definite number?

Just ignore him, he is obviously nothing more then a troll. Says he graduated from ISU but his interest in ISU is nothing more then academic, which really explains why he lurks around on the Cyclone Academic(I mean Athletic) website all the time taking pot shots all the time. SoHawk is at least respectable even though he is a spinmiester, but DJK is only here to flame. Could candidate for ignore list.

Go through all of my 17 posts on this site and try to find a flame. I've made a few jokes at ISU's expense but besides that I've been polite. And I'm not a troll, the only reason I started posting here is because this is the best ISU site on the net that doesn't cost money.

Iowa averaged nearly 60K during a 1-10 season

Iowa is 18-7 in the last 25 games

Nobody cares about the Cy-Hawk series (oh yes, I went there).

How else can I spin things in my favor? I'll think of something. :)

1. I think it's well known that Hawks have a large fan base, wasn't arguing that. ???

2. In the last year the Hawks are 0-1

3. You would if you won it. (Agree it isn't that big of a deal, but I think it should get more attention so other sports actually mean something to fans).

4. Idk, but I like playing tug of war?

There are a TON of Wisconsin sports fans in Minnesota, most annoying thing ever. Believe it has to do with Wisconsin not having nerely enough high paying jobs to keep their college grads in state, but still, they should stay where they belong. (Everyone one of them is also "that guy" that makes it their lifes ambition to let you know they're packer/badger fans).

Be careful, Hawkeye Renewables has relocated their corporate offices to Ames. And Rastetter has donate $1M (I think) to ISU's Ag Entreprenuerism program.

Wow, rough crowd today...

Though I can't talk much. This morning I noticed a penant form another cubicle had been "relocated" to behind the toliet in the office... reminded me of this that and the other thing and gave me a brilliant idea - decals for toliets! I now want to put a tiger-hawk in the basin of my toliet where all of my **** passes right over top of it! (Kinda like how in Amsterdam they painted a fly in the urinal where you should pee... because studies have shown that guys will aim for things in the toliet)

I want to expand this idea and have a tiger-hawk or a 'N' or whatever other logo painted on all of the toliets in the locker rooms at Jack Trice. Spend the whole year showing contempt for the other team so that when they show up, we're ready to crap all over them in person!

Slow day what can I say?

SouthernHawk · 04-18-2008, 11:09 AM

Honestly, I think everybody who attends or has attneded ISU loves the school. It's a great place to be. But growing up in Iowa, if you are a fan of a team for 17 years before college, it's going to be hard to make the change.

Some can, some can't, some won't, and some split the difference. When I was at Iowa, I knew of a few ISU fans. Didn't know them well, but they lived on my floor. I also knew an MSU fan. That was kinda strange.

I know he donated some money to ISU and that is great. My comments about him were based on working with him on in contract situations and seeing how good his word is.........Nuff said.

Yep they opened up their office at the beginning of 2007

Wasn't hard for me, and I grew up in eastern Iowa.
