Wrestling fans...what say you about ISU - UI?

Iowa does not bring more fans to Hilton. I was there the last time we wrestled the pukes to the east at Hilton and there was no way there was more Iowa fans at the meet. I bet it was 60-40 in favor of the good guys. However I was at the meet last year in Iowa City and there was probably 400-500 Iowa State fans out of 15,995 total. Yes, Iowa travels way better but they do not outnumber the good guys at Hilton.
P.S. Handsanitzer I will take that bet on my first post but I have no credits so we may have to work out some kind of deal.

Two years ago we had the curtain so there wasn't very many seats for them to buy. They filled the upper decks and the corners though. Guarantee they will outnumber Cyclone fans this year.

P.S. - Hopefully this pisses some people off and gets Cyclone butts in seats.

It probably was 60-40 in favor of ISU fans the last time at Hilton but that was because of the curtain being up. With that down another 5,000 people can now go and it will be 50/50 at minimum. I like that KJ doesn't want that thing up and he is embracing this like he should and it doesn't matter how many people are for or against you in the arena, it is still you against the other guy.

So my original point was to simply encourage Cyclone fans to attend the meet, not actually debate who brings more to Hilton.

So everybody just go to the meet Sunday, and bring your friends and family, and everything will work out swimmingly.

GO CYCLONES!!

Good point with the curtain. There is going to be more hawks this year than two years ago. Hopefully we can fill the extra seets to drown out the whining and complaining that seems to echo from the hawkeye sections year in and year out.
