Hey Jon -

Any way to move a portion of this thread to the football board so those of us who are interested in discussing basketball don't have to worry about it? Don't get me wrong .. I'm a Hawkeye football fan as much as basketball, there's a reason for having separate football and basketball threads.

Thanx!!

GO HAWKS!!!

Hey Jon can you move this post to the Site Feedback board? I enjoy reading about Hawkeye sports but don't want to have to read posts regarding how the forum is run. There is a reason there's a Site Feedback Fourm.

TIA.

Love how this got turned into a football thread. No arguments about basketball left in the chamber?

Agreed, the 70th best team argument is not only completely inaccurate but also very stale.

Wow. In the past few years the team you're boasting has lost twice to Minnesota. A humiliating loss to Indiana with 500 people in the stands. A loss in your own stadium to...is it...Central Michigan? I've never heard of them. Not to mention back-to-back losses to the team you are discussing above including a loss this year in your home stadium. That is embarassing. Go back and look at the past few years of ISU football point out the awful losses like that to me.

You mention the bowl game loss above to C-USA champ Tulsa. Buddy at least we're making bowl games. What did the Hawks finish last year with that joke of a schedule again? 4 wins and sitting at home during bowl season. I'm sure Iowa fans would be ecstatic this year with a bowl game. Any bowl game!

This is a BB thread, so STFU about football.

There is no way to take auch idocy seriously..... Niang will Avg 18-20 PPG......Clowns will finish 4th or above, and make the NCAA......hahahahaha.

I really wish you would back up your BS with bets. I'm still willing to bet whatever you'd liken that Niang wont avg 18 PPG or more like you claim.

What team am I boasting? My post contained statements about a single team, ISU. Iowa is on a downward slide, but that does nothing to change the fact that ISU is not improving. This is not some zero sum game where as Iowa declines ISU improves. The are unrelated which is why as Iowa has gotten worse the last few years so has ISU's place in the B12 standings.

But if you do want to compare, Iowa is on a rough three year stretch that has many Iowa fans calling for Kurt's head, the Hawks have won 19 games and went 1-1 in bowl games over this stretch. ISU fans are talking about all the momentum Rhodes is building in Ames, but during the same three years you've won 17 games, haven't had a single winning season and went 0-2 in bowl games. But congrats on the juggernaut he's building there.

Ha ha congrats you had a better three year span. Iowa State has had the better two year span. Iowa State had the better year last year. What's your point? After this year ISU will probably have the better three year span including 3-0 vs. Iowa. You know what had me crying and laughing at the same time? At least ISU fans weren't prediciting a national title three years ago only to go 7-5 including a loss to the Gophers. Now that's hilarious! I mean Hawk fans honestly thought they were national title bound!

Yeah we thought there was a chance we could win it all coming off an 11 win season. You guys predict championships coming off 6 win seasons.

Sarcasm directed at those who insist on posting football posts in the basketball forum. Sorry if I offended you.

GO HAWKS!!!

Could be because ISU fan's don't know what a national championship is, while as Hawkeye fans some of us forget what seperates reality from the world of make believe. Although there's no logical response to why your argument about fans thinking Iowa would be national championship contenders, that 7-5 record at the end of the year would be a record that no ISU fan would ever be disappointed in. Amazing how expectations and reality works isn't it. One fan base see's 7-5 as inexcusable (as many fans did) and one fan base uses 7-5 to measure a successful year. By no means do are Hawkeye fans happy about where we currently are, but at the same time we can say we know what it feels like to be in a BCS game and have high (if not unrealistic) expectations. ISU fans don't know that feeling. Now lets get back to basketball.
