Good, because your post was already a waste of time.
Yeah, it may be a waste of time, but your buddy Sean sucks. FACT.

Guys, he's the stinkin' founder of HawkeyeNation.com. That doesn't exactly make him beholden to ISU. And he's not doing a newscast, so he's not obligated to be "fair and balanced," whatever that's worth these days.
It seems like you expected him to come on the radio and say, "You know what? Screw Iowa. I'm an ISU fan now!" just because we won the basketball game.
I'll repeat what I said before: If you were an Iowa fan and had a radio show where you could talk about pretty much whatever you want, why would you NOT talk a bunch about your wrestling team beating the number one team in the country--who also happens to be your in-state rival--in their own building?
And if they had beaten us in the basketball game, of course he would have talked more about it. It would have been a pretty damn good weekend for Iowa.
Frankly, I'm amazed he gets as much attention on these boards as he does. You guys keep bringing him up, and that only feeds the fire.

First off, use your spell checker genius. Secondly, feel free to go cheer for Iowa, where you belong.

I hate the Hawkeyes and everything they stand for.
Thanks

You seem to share allot of personality traits with them though.
Bottom line is, someone making a personal attack like that on one of our players in a public forum is NOT a true ISU fan, and that is a FACT.
Just a friendly reminder, we are all clone fans. Play nice.
Jon, you will never convince me that more people, even in Iowa, care more about ISU vs. Iowa in wrestling than ISU vs Iowa in Basketball. It isn't even close. We could not compare the support for the two because it is like comparing apples and oranges. Even in wrestlings best state, it is still second fiddle to basketball. The SECOND biggest sporting event in Iowa every year is ISU vs Iowa basketball.
That is why ISU beating the hawkeyes should have been your lead story.

How is calling him a poor excuse for a D1 player a personal attack. It has everything to do with his preformance on the court, which anyone who has watched any ISU hoops this year at all would see.
I am sure that he is a nice guy, he did go to ISU, but he is not a Division 1 basketball talent.
In most years, I don't disagree with you. This year, and I am on the message boards for both teams every single day, and I talk to fans from both schools every single day, and I take calls and get emails from fans every single day, this year, the Iowa-ISU dual meet was much more discussed and talked about.
Go back here on the boards leading up to the Iowa-ISU MBB game Saturday, and see for yourself. It was the same everywhere.
Sorry, I just hate seeing personal attacks against our players. I am the first to point out weaknesses in our guys' games, but taking to a personal level really aggravates me.
Agree 100%...Haluska is busting his butt out there and all we here is "He sucks". Only hawk schills turn on their own players like that. Personal attacks on anyone who puts on a Cyclone uniform isn't cool......:realmad:
Exactly. The effort is there from all the players so far, and if it weren't, Mac would bench them. I don't get it when people turn on their own players. I am realistic, and want them to get better, but won't bash them. They are doing their best for the coaches, fans, team, and themselves. Does anyone think they go out there and say, "I am gonna stink this court up tonight. That'll get me some attention on CF."
Yes, players could play better. No, bashing them won't help.
Turning on players and making an honest comment is not the same. To comment that a player isn't d-1 talent is not a personal attack, it's an observation. If he said his girl friend is ugly, he has zits or he's a rear end, that's over the top. I agree everyone is working hard, we need to support Iowa State. But his comment was followed by personal attacks in my view. I don't think anyone can argue the talent level is not where it needs to be.
Just my 2 cents worth. Dont worry be happy.
