You have to admit that's a little different than booing that CB last year on senior day when he was walking on the field with his family.
Edit: Shada, that was his name.
Would you trade places with Iowa fans?

My thought is, we justify our losses and our misery by the fact we run a clean program. By the same token, I have no doubt we would justify them if we were winning the big XII. I'm not so sure that the seasons Iowa has had, that I would be able to justify them. Winning the Big XII though and going to the BCS, there is no doubt in my mind I'd be able to justify what's going on at Iowa. Again, I'm not condoning it, merely giving the opinion that the arrests would be harder to swollow if you're winning big games.
I've never been to a Hawkeye board in my life. As I've said before in other posts. I couldn't care less about what goes on in Iowa City. Let me ask you this. If for some reason Iowa State was actually good in football, would people still be bringing up all of these issues in Iowa City? Or are some people so juvenile that it actually helps take the sting out of our own miserable program by piling on theirs. This obsesion with EIU is embarrasing.
I know I'm being labeled as a troll or a Hawk Fan, so be it. Unlike several people on here, I actually attended and graduated from ISU.

Let me be clear: Lenny25 is not a troll. He has picked up trolls in Campustown, but he is not a troll.
Additionally, I'll "talk positives" as you say, as soon as we see some W's. I'm not going to cheer moral victories game to game.
Would I love for ISU to have their record right now? Sure. Would I have a problem with multiple arrests if ISU were winning? Nope, I want to WIN. But I want ISU to win, not iowa. I wouldn't want to claim the idiot, dirtbag, lowlife segment (and it's NOT just a vocal minority) of their fanbase as fellow fans.
At least at ISU, we don't have to resort to looking down on other fans, universities and cities to make ourselves feel better. Our history allows us to be able to treat other fanbases with a little respect and not relate our self worth with athletic success.

Wait a minute.......because..............
Isn't that exactly what people are doing on these boards when they continually bring up all the issues surrounding the University of Iowa.
Kettle I'd like you to meet pot..........
Is this how low things have gotten for us that we try to rationalize our own miserable failings by saying "at least our guys don't get into trouble?" I guess if it makes you feel better go ahead and rationalize away everything. Not me....the guys should stay out of trouble regardless and respect their scholarship's which are a privelege to keep.
I wouldn't want to be a hawkeye fan but if all it took was to recruit some thugs and we could go to the alamo bowl a few times, the cap one bowl, and the orange bowl and knock off #3 penn state...yeah, I'd take the thugs in a second.
I used to be a hawk fan, born in IC. I found the light and wouldn't go back for all the W's in the world. Being a Cyclone fan is special and there is a different comradry with being in the Cyclone family than when I was a hawk. Everytime I am in the stands at JTS, I am with people who have gone through the same heartbreak that has come with being a State fan in the recent past. Cyclone fans are special and I wouldn't trade being one for having a team with 4 more wins even with or without having 20+ more arrests or w/e...

I remember the Jim Criner days when we cheated and STILL lost. At least we've gotten past that.
It's interesting; I thought the game was all about student athletes, but Kansas State fired Ron Prince even though he has the Big XII's top graduation rate and took the team to a bowl game. I guess it's more about winning there as well.
