Nationally ranked? In what? Suckiest offense? Anti-clutch defense? Consistently inconsistent "special" teams?

Sorry. I've got better uses for a few large.

It's a shame that this site is free. If it weren't maybe you'd find something better to do with your time than bit*h about a team and coaching staff that you clearly despise at this point.

I think somebody in the athletics office was making an assumption prior to the weekend. You know what happens when we "assume".

I think there has been alot of assuming going on in around IC the last few months.

Careful, dude. You're trampling on Jon's "holiday bonus."

"Despise" is such a strong word.

"Despise" is such a strong word.

Well your posts have been strong, in a negative manner, for the better part of two months. "Despise" fits pretty well.

It is what it is.

Thunderhawk is simply pointing out that the athletics office put the cart before the horse on the bowl game letter.

How? We're GOING to a bowl game (though I'm sure Thunderhawk would rather turn down any invite). They aren't saying: get your tickets for the Outback Bowl! There are other games that they list, games that we may be playing in (which is stated in the letter). Hardly putting the cart before the horse.

 

[hawkforlife9]

We are ranked. Probably about 31st or 32nd. So it is a true statement.

Much like the 1997 season (a season with sky high expectations that fell way short), a disappointed fan base will not travel well to a bowl game this year. Hawk fan attendence in El Paso for the 97 Sun Bowl was limited.

As was the Hawkeye effort in that game (a listless blowout loss to Arizona State.)

All indications are that we'll be treated to the same, uh, effort in this bowl game.

 

[southobrien24]

You can't fix stupid. But I'm sure there are plenty of Hawk fans that will be going to the bowl game as they should. Have fun at home, though. LOL

It's simple, they want people to reserve their bowl game tickets so they can go to the bowl reps. That way they can say, we have 15,000 tickets already reserved, how many does Penn State, Michigan, ect. have?

It is smart on Iowa's part and they are just trying to do their job so we get the best bowl possible. If our fans have more applicants than Penn State, it might help us go to the outback bowl.

Didn't happen in 2006. That team was right up there for disappointment, and they played the way they were capable of against Texas.

To be fair, this team hasn't really given the fans much to be positive about.

How many days are you going to post the same garbage? Yes, we lost. Yes, it was a disappointing season. Yes, we are all frustrated. But what good is it to CONSTANTLY b*tch about it 24/7? It is over. I am starting to look forward to the bowl game!

 

[racerhawk]

I received that email for bowl tickets, too. I'll pass. Tucson, Evanston, and Minneapolis MORE than fufilled my appetite for the 2010 hawkeye football team.

 

[clicheusername3]

That's kind of a weird line to put in there. Don't really see a reason for it.

 

[tm3308]

True, but that doesn't warrant lashing out at the players. They aren't above criticism, but the garbage that ThunderHawk has been posting goes beyond that. They don't deserve to be crucified and bashed. Coaches are fair game for that sort of thing, but the players aren't.
