Nice mis-direction. I look forward to hearing about this game for the next 50 years. Why not bring up the countless times since fans turned out in droves to watch really terrible football?

How's ISU attendance been for football games? You can say I'm misdirecting but you mentioning basketball is the same attempt at changing the subject. ISU's football attendance is terrible and this year Iowa's men's basketball attendance is terrible, case closed.
Just stop it. You are making youself look like a fool. Comparing Iowa's mbb attendance to ISU football? Wow...I'm seriously speechless.
Terrible for ISU football? :biglaugh:
Compared to Iowa, yes, our attendance is lower, but when you have 1/2 the fans, it's going to be. When your stadium is smaller, it's going to be.
Comparing ISU's football attendance to Iowa's MBB attendance the past few seasons is terrible. Iowa's MBB attendance is the hot dog thrown down the hallway of ISU's football attendance that's how pathetic Iowa's MBB attendance is. Iowa State's WOMEN compete in attendance with the Iowa men, and people have to actually pay to see the Twister Sisters. We don't just let students in to push attendance over 13 people.
As I've stated before, Iowa's basketball attendance is horrible, but to say that Iowa as a fanbase is terrible is just a joke. Iowa's fanbase is a reason they'll be in The Fiesta Bowl on Sunday when the BCS bowls come out.
Iowa's football fanbase. You're missing the point here. We never criticized the football fans that show up on fall Saturdays at Kinnick and bowl games, we're saying Iowa fans suck for everything else. A fanbase supports all programs, not just football and wrestling to a lesser extent. Iowa State has fans (see: Volleyball, MBB, WBB, Football, etc.). Last year when the Twister Sisters played in Iowa City, ISU put as many ***** in seats as Iowa did. Iowa's football fans show up in numbers. Iowa's fan base sucks.
- Isn't the argument about supporting a team when it is down?
- There is a difference in football and basketball
- What were the attendance numbers like for Iowa when they had bad years?
55,000 is Jack Trice's capacity correct? 70,585 is Iowa's. So we have 15,000 more seats, yet still find a way to fill them? Nice try though.
Yeah, you have to support ALL sports to be a great fanbase. EIU....does not do this. Hence, you suck and always will suck because you can only root for 'em when they are winning.
These are MAJOR reasons why we (ALUMNI) hate Iowa Athletics and it's so-called great supporters.

If ISU was experiencing a possible BCS bowl this Sunday, the "fanbase" for ISU would be huge right now. I expect the bandwagon will be so full of fans for the basketball program by mid December I'm not sure if the 5 or 6 of you "loyal fans" will have anywhere to sit.
closer to 53,000 counting hillsides...about 45,000 actual seats. Iowa's fan base = double Iowa State's would be my guess. What part of this aren't you understanding? Iowa's football fans show up, now where the **** are those 70,000 in Carver-Hawkeye? Hell, how about 5,000? Do they count the vendors in the attendance so they can double it to 36 instead of 18? They're having to PAY their fans to show up to games.
Couldn't tell you, I support Iowa athletics whenever I can. Listen, Iowa State has loyal fans, Iowa has loyal fans, it's an argument we can have for pages and pages of garbage but let's just agree that right now Tiger Woods is in some deep ****.

Where the hell are these loyal fans for Iowa at? It sure as hell ain't Carver-Hawkeye. So loyal the students won't even pay for tickets! They have to let them in!

Are we just proving that none of us have very many loyal fans??
Iowa gave FREE admission (I'll repeat, FREE admission) to all students last night for a game against an ACC opponent.....and they still couldn't fill 1/2 their seats.
Pathetic.
Pathetic.
