Wow, the Oakland coach didn't pull any punches in the presser after the game:
Makes me feel good that we're building a dedicated BB practice facility.

Wow. I wonder what some teams REALLY think when they play us.
I used to bag on Carver for attendance, but won't do so anymore. Ive been to every game in Hilton the past 3 years. We dont have much to be pounding our chests for.
Iowa doesnt have a BB practice facality, wow. I figured they would have a great one. I guess they just spend their money of FB. When Alford said Iowa is a FB school he was correct I guess. If they have to practice in a dump good luck keeping Lick IF he wins at Iowa. I wonder if their practice gym has those extra out of bounds lines on the court. State gym or wherever our team practices now sounds great compaired to Iowa's.
I'm glad Iowa is building one too. It's embarrassing to share the title of "no practice facility" with Northwestern in the Big Ten.
Here ya go - to be completed in a few years.
Regents approve Carver-Hawkeye Arena $47 million revitalization project
And Iowa probably has devoted an entire college or at least a major at the university to inventive ticket counting.

Brackins beats them down, the Lucca delivers the dagger.... eik just chills at the 3 point line kicking them in the nuts everytime they try and put up a fight
So you can use the "tickets sold" claim but ISU can't? The attendance at the ISU/Mizzou game this year was 46,000+. Which is just slightly less than the average for the year. With a horrible team, we are still filling our stadium to 90% capacity.
Same goes for basketball. While Iowa is announcing crowds of 9,000 which is ~58% of capacity. You guys can beat your football "sellout" drum but its pretty sad you are drawing 30-40% capacity actual crowds and just over 50% announced for men's basketball games.
So my point still stands...
Iowa fans support their team when they win. Prove to me that I'm wrong.
Actually, that was exactly my point. That the exact same thing is happening at ISU.

Even so, that's not the point of this convo. Somebody said that Iowa fans don't show up when the teams are losing, and I proved with numbers that that's not the case. Even last year, when Iowa played decent teams, CHA had a good 12,000 fans there (MSU, PSU, Purdue, and OSU for sure).
Anyone notice that the ISU women started out outdrawing even a possible bogus count for the IOWA men's games?
Over 10,000 for the ISU womens game last Sunday and just over 8,000 for the Iowa men's game on Monday or yesterdays Iowa men's game. Looks like last yr.
So there were more ISU fans there for the WBB game than there were for the football game two weeks ago?
I'm not sure I believe any numbers that come out from EIU. Apparently your definition of sold out is not what sold out really means.
