Is it me or is this board more active...

[RobHowe]

after losses than wins?

 

[tksirius]

Idk, it seemed pretty active after the ISU win.

 

[HawkeyeWalker]

Ask Caddy, Homerchampless, Playmaker, CJHawkeye. They may be able to weigh in on this.

 

[HawkeyeWalker]

Idk, it seemed pretty active after the ISU win.

Wouldn't that make sense though, with a lot of the posters living in Iowa, and it being a rivalry game?

 

[NCHawker]

I duno. I never post here

 

[RobHowe]

I wasn’t trying to be a smartass. I honestly was wondering. It’s hard for me to gauge on game days because I’m working.

Like Walker said, I would expect it to pretty active after an overtime win at Iowa State.

 

[Playmaker]

I would say the answer is YES....with good cause. Every shiny rock seems to be followed by a large turd....that's Iowa football under the Multi Multi Millionaire Huckster.

The answer is yes. But if you look across all social media, negative storys and controversy is more popular than positive ones, specifically in open forum comment sections.

 

[hawkinn3]

Yes, and I guarantee Jon has numbers on this.

I think we notice problems when we win, but are not compelled to write about them until we lose. My case anyway. It is a way to vent.

That makes sense

 

[ArvadaHawk]

I hadn't notice that. after a win, we're usually game planning for the next win. after a loss, we're discussing the loss.

I am on social media a lot for my job and see a lot of negative. More on Twitter than on our HN FB page.

Of course, the anonymity on here and Twitter as opposed to FB probably plays into it as well.

 

[hawkeyes87]

Depends on the quality of the win.

Beating Michigan , etc.

Theoretically winning a bowl game. My memory isn't good enough to confirm that, however.

Anonymity plays a pretty big part. I take great effort to not say here what I wouldn't say face to face.

 

[deanvogs]

Yes. There are certain posters who will only post negative things, and they have tons of ammo when the team loses.

 

[Seth53]

As being in direct patient healthcare for 35 years....if a person is happy , they tell one other person. When they're unhappy they tell the world.

Is it a road vs. home thing? Home games take 70,000 away from their computers.



Also, the whole complaining after a loss thing is part of it, too I'm sure.

 

[1977Hawkeye]

I think people tend to write more (vent) after a loss than they do after a win.

Depends on the season, though, too. I'm betting this board was busy two years ago when the Hawks were 12-0. A win over someone like Northwestern in a 7-5 type of season, probably not so much.

 

[HawkeyeWalker]

Im guilty as well, i post more in the game thread and afterward, after a loss. especially when its a heartbreaker or poor performance.

It's therapy for me, and probably unhealthy therapy.
