I tend to agree that NFL players mean better players but I would throw a player like Troy Davis out there. One of the best all time college RBs but not an NFL RB. Jesse Smith was an All Big 12 LB but not a NFL LB. Jason Berryman was a great college DE but a tweener in the NFL. iSU gets a lot...

A response to being called a dbag

Who was lecturing? you guys are talking about transition baskets and totally ignoring the fact that iowa isn't getting defensive stops. How do you plan on getting transition baskets without stops? You never address that. You just think transition baskets will happen? You don't think iowa...

Never said ISU figured it out. I said that is how you beat them. It was the scouting report on iowa before ISU even played them. I read two scouting reports on iowa before the ISU game and both said the same thing. I would tend to say Villanova came up wit it not Wisconsin. Some teams just...

Wow. A little sensitive aren't we. How about having an adult discussion. Maybe state why you don't agree or come up with some logical explanation why the hoks have lost so many lately. But hey, the scouting report on iowa back when the clones played them was they couldn't stop dribble...

You guys realize you need stops on the defensive end in order to get transition buckets, right? No stops= no transition. The problem is **** poor defense. You can talk about running all day long but if you don't get steals and defensive boards you don't get transition baskets

It isn't peace and harmony that is the issue. That comes with winning. It is pathetic defense because they can't stop dribble penetration and then help defense sucks because everyone is shuffled in and out and has no clue when/who to help. Teams have figured out iowa can't defend dribble...

No defense= no transition game. You can't run effectively when teams make shots

i hope the iowa coaches realize that isn't the problem and have worked on help defense all week. Otherwise it will be more of the same. Tight game in the first half but once Tennessee realizes they can dribble penetrate they will pull away

Iowa Hawkeyes vs. Iowa State Cyclones - Play by Play - December 13, 2013 - ESPN Linked is the play by play from iowa vs ISU. Look in the second half at all the layups and assists. Illinois and NW would hold the ball, dribble penetrate then kick out to open shooters

And iowa's offense is better when scoring transitiion points which can't be had when the other team is scoring

Biggest problem Iowa has is they can't defend dribble penetration and their help defense is slow to help. Once teams figure that out iowa can't stop them. It is why iowa struggles late in games and it is why teams beat iowa later in the season when they played them the second time. It is why...

It is money spent that might not be spent. Ask you local bar owner if their bar does more business on the weekend of ISU/Iowa or on the weekend on iowa vs tOSU. How many people have parties the weekend of the ISU/iowa game that they do not otherwise have. It is the spedning of...

So should ISU reduce their ticket price and increase the discrepancy? And let's clarify that 2.3 million>1.5 million is over a four year period. On an anual basis it is about $200K. Now consider that during the first two years of that four year period, ISU was not charging $90 and the last...

Simple math 50K x $90 = $4,500,000 70K x $70 = $4,900,000 Difference is $400,000 total and $200K when split between schools. As an ISU fan, I am ****** that iowa does not charge $90/ticket since the market has proven that is the value. On the otherhand, ISU increased their prices and...

Doesn't iowa benefit as well since the gate is split? I always get a kick out of iowa fans that ***** about the $90 price and then ***** about the gate split. Looks like ISU is trying to help both schools

So many people seem to ignore this fact. The game brings in a tone of revenue to the state of Iowa and businesses.

Jack Trice Stadium capcity when built in 1975 was 42,500 bleachers were added in 1976 to increase the capacity to 46,000. Capacity with hillsides is 50K. Attendance numbers for Jack Trice with win loss record throughout the 70's 1975- 4-7 40,763 1976- 8-3 42,272 1977- 8-4 45,093 1978- 8-4...

First let me clarify that I don't think ISU overtakes iowa in fan counts. The population centers won't allow it and it would take a massive nosedive from iowa for decades. Which won't happen. However, the "we graduate more people from Iowa" has some merit when you consider that Iowa is...

No need to apologize. You were clear. It is the others that ran with it that are clueless
