Being at the game can be soooooo annoying...

If you dont count 2010 and 2011 as bad seasons than you are a loser(Not just because of the amount of wins but the way they played as if they wanted to lose. Back to back losses to Minny....give me a break pal). You know who would agree with you that those are good seasons?........ISU. Even though ISU is taking care of KF Id rather not grade the team on an ISU scale.

Sounds like it may be beneficial for you to step away for a little bit, gain some perspective and stop the name calling. "Loser"? Good grief.

You were the person that claimed we have had 3 bad seasons in a row. I provided details that refuted that. 2010 was not a "bad" season. I would say it didn't live up to expectations and was average. We did badly beat ISU, PSU and MSU. We won at Michigan but lost by 3 to OSU and by 1 to Wisconsin. Those two close losses really took their toll on a team that was expected to contend for the Big Ten title.

Even if you count 2010 and 2011 as "bad" seasons, where is your 3rd bad season? Are you saying you are psychic and have already written this season off as a "bad" season after only 25% of the games have been played?

Any season in which Iowa fails to beat both Northwestern and Iowa State is a bad season to those of us over a certain age. By that metric, every Ferentz season has been a bad season.

No, Minnesota is a large school that is the only BCS school in the state. They have some degree of history. Losing to them sucks, but save for the past two seasons, it is understandable for them to beat us.
 
Northwestern should rarely beat Iowa. Egghead schools, with egghead student athletes should not be able to regularly beat a state school that has low entrance acceptance guidelines. Plus, the northwestern cheerleaders are ugly too.

I hate when our entire crowd starts yelling at the officials, and student section chants "Bull-Spit" when it's obvious that the Iowa guy committed the foul or it was a good call on the review. Our fans have to be top 10 dumbest in the nation.

Didn't realize this only applied to our fans. Guess I was way off for thinking this happens at 90% of the other stadiums around the country. I much better knowing now that it only Iowa fans and only happens at Iowa games.
 
My advice...Enjoy your Saturday, make friends with those around you that your most likely sitting on due to lack of bleacher space, but never feel sorry for the guy in the red hat that makes us wait so they can run the same commercials over and over every 5 minutes. That's the guy that ruins the experience everywhere.

Sports fans are generally idiots (actually anyone who isn't me is generally an idiot but I digress) I just put up with them because I happen to share the same interest as most of them.

That 2010 season was bad. They lost to one of the worst teams in the country. Hey if you were happy with that then good for you pal. The world cant go round without people that settle in life.

Yes I am counting this year as a bad year. I havent been shown a reason not to yet.

Last I checked there were a lot of people over the offseason that got rejected for new season ticket apps. Plenty of people would love to take your seats if you "no longer enjoy" watching from the stands.

Y'know... I almost said that same exact thought to a "Debbie Downer" at the UNI game this past Saturday.

At the games, let's support our Hawks... b!tch and moan about it later on the boards. OK? :)
