Yes sir your there grand pappy sure does have a lot to be proud of. Those there hawkeyes had some great teams in the 70s.
Says the guy who just posted this.....
You don't put Iowa anywhere close to North Carolina??? What?!! What is it? The fact that you haven't won a tournament game in close to 15 years? Or is it the 35 year drought without a Big ten championship? Maybe it's because you haven't had a better year than them in over two decades. Thank you captain obvious!
Lets compare Iowa and ISU over those 35 years that you think it is fair to compare them on. I mean you compared Iowa to UNC over 35 years, so that must be relevant to you. So from 1979/80 - 2013/14, 35 years of BB.
IOWA
19 NCAA appearances, 14 round of 32 appearances, 5 sweet 16's, 1 Elite 8, and 1 final 4
673 wins
60% winning %
VS
Clowns
15 NCAA appearances, 10 round of 32 appearances, 4 Sweet 16's 1 Elite 8
615 wins
56% winning %
Clown fans are such *ucking idiots. It is funny how close the two teams have actually been over the last 30 years. If you go back 35 years, ISU sucks ballz in those additional 5 years, while Lute had Iowa as a national program, and Iowa is EASILY the better program over the last 35 years.
From 1985 to 2005 the teams were very similar in success. Iowa being better in the late 80's and ISU in the late 90's/early 00's. They both hit the tank in '06, and ISU recovered a whopping 2 years earlier. Yet Clowns think they are some national freaking program that is better than UNC, 1,000,000 better than Iowa, and that they actually invented the game of basketball. The only problem is 10, 20, 25, 30, and 35 years of facts stand in direct contrast to that delusion.
