~I love Jamie and he meant well, but please don't feed the hawkeye trolls out there with the 'lil brother' reference--ever

It just plays into their delusional narrative.

That term should never show up in his vocabulary

But isn't it fun when as a little brother you grow up getting tormented by big bro, then grow stronger and smarter than him and punch him in the face?

It feeds into their "we were awesome 25 years ago" narrative, which is fine with me. Let them remain stuck in their glory days.

To be fair he admits fully "tongue in cheek"

I didn't see anything wrong with that comment. Just my opinion.

 

[stateofmind]

Some of us that are little brothers don't really mind the comments. :wink: Of course I'm 3 inches taller than my older brother. Sounds familiar.

Couldn't agree more. I cringed when I heard that last night.

 

[cyclonedave25]

I laughed.
I hope he hangs another billboard over there too, after we beat them in football and again in basketball.

Maybe just a simple: "little brother has grown up and now kicks the **** out of older brother."

 

[surly]

Self-deprecation is befitting land grant folks. I thought it showed strength in humor not weakness.

 

[bos]

**** Iowa. Those tools will make lil bro comments regardless of what we say/do. Find humor in it and take away that power. Settle the talk on the field/court.

At the AD level, I agree. I would have much rather had him say--"We now have the best facilites in the state". The message would have been the same.

It's really this simple. I embrace it, anyway we ARE younger brother (1847 vs. 1858). Fords been around longer than Porsche too...

I love the look of the SEZ, but I don't think they wrote 'Sukup' on it enough.

 

[Mtowncyclone13]

Why does the inside of the club not look very refined? It looks very "warehouse" to me. I was picturing higher-end finishes

It's the modern look.

Most Hawk fans in eastern Iowa define Jamie from a couple billboards from 2007. They are idiots and have no idea what Pollard has accomplished @ISU

Then again, I equate that era to the hiring of Gmac and ChizzzzzDick. so no more billboards please

lots of wasted space and trimmed out in grain bin accents. Why do we always have to feed our corncob image? It's ok to be modernized, current, classy, and upscale....

Just a question: are either of you getting Endzone Club tickets?

 

[TXCyclones]

Interesting. "We're no longer underfunded." "We're no longer understaffed." I'm not sure I'd ever heard a narrative previously state that were were underfunded or understaffed.

The galvanized steel is because of Sukup, not the state of Iowa. They are paying the bill, so they get to advertise with the decor as much as they want.

Re: Little Brother comment by Pollard

Lets let Hawk trolls be Hawk trolls. It takes a person pretty confident in themself and the position they are in to make a comment like that in jest. Hawk trolls, not exactly a beacon of confident people.
