Pretty cocky for a bunch of mid major fans. I doubt your university equals at Toledo would be so over the top.

You guys have had a very nice season. That said, please remember you are a fan of Iowa State. Not exactly oozing success over there... Hold your conference above us, but that's it.

I think you are cutting them a bit short. They also have Iowan Potatoes.

Actually those potatoes are pretty good. I use them in stews and such where taste doesn't matter much and I don't feel like ponying up Maine potatoes.

This is is the best tidbit I've seen on their forum.

"Why are people acting like u conn is an Ivy league school with trust fund babies? It is a mid/low tier public university that has a rather poor academic reputation. They have been snubbed by the acc, big 10 and big 12 for academics while a commuter school like Louisville got in the ACC and West Virginia the Big 12. ISU as an AAU member has a better reputation and is a much better school than uconn."

So says the #47th ranked public school to the 19th ranked public school.

Quite frankly, we may be dealing with the dumbest people in America.

Honest question. When the ice melts, will you be noodling for catfish and making a run to the General Store for Mountain Dew and Little Debbie's?

Nailed it. There is literally nothing better than catching a catfish with your forearm and then knocking back a honey bun. Yeeeee-Haw!

Yeah that will really rile up the fan base on the basketball board....:confused:

I know, because wrestling isn't an important sport to Iowans.

Careful if you come by here after a loss. It's as miserable as any place. But we do like to laugh.

Yeah, wait till conference realignment tears our league up and then tell us we are a bunch of mid-major fans. Good job. A school like Gonzaga is a mid-major. They haven't won anything. We have been in the power conference. We have won multiple national titles in multiple sports while in that power conference.

Sure, call us a mid-major. Call us a low-major. Call us a high school team. But we still have hardware and plenty of it. What does Iowa State have? Cael Sanderson and a mascot with a broken arm? Who's the real mid-major?

A majority of Iowans could care less about wrestling. Just because it is one of the top wrestling states, doesn't mean people get riled up over wrestling or even care about wrestling. Hell, Women's basketball is a bigger draw in the state of Iowa than wrestling

Mascot it about to have another broken arm too, so there's that.

Yeah, I've heard what I stated from multiple midwest folks, so I'm gonna go ahead and call BS on your "never heard" comment. Des Moines doesn't have anything going on, and Omaha doesn't have a lot of crime. I've been there. Nice town.

Iowa's got nothing going on. Sorry. Like I said, I live in New York City, so I've got a pretty good sense of what a city or region offers in terms of food, nightlife, etc.
Expand ...
Yep, still don't know a lot of people from Des Moines that go to Omaha for a big city feel. Most I know go to K.C., Minny, or Chicago. If it is a guys weekend or a girls weekend, Minny, chicago, and KC all have much more to offer and that is where "folks" go. I guess" heard from multiple Midwest folks" is probably more reliable than having lived somewhere for 30 years. And I wonder if you have "heard" about Des Moines or have been there. Because your"hear" information isn't very reliable. Personally, I have been to all five of the above multiple times. Know people that have lived in all the above for decades. So yea, I call BS.

I know nothing is like New York. That is a given and a fact. Des Moines is a very nice town that has plenty of entertainment and plenty of good food. where Des Moines is compared to where it was 10 years ago is a lot different. My Omaha crime comment came from the 90's when they had the thrid highest gang violence in the US and it was the drug trafficing center of the Midwest. In all fairness, Omaha has done a good job with crime but you better be damn careful on the North and Northeast side.

I like both Cities and have never had an issue having a good time in either.

I very strongly suggest that you take a wander over to the "Judge Speaks" thread posted at the top of the forum. Some brilliant stuff in there.

About 10 years ago 4 of us went for a guys weekend to Chicago to catch a Red Sox game at new Comiskey. When we checked in to the hotel a bachelorette party was checking in at the same time. Of course we asked where they would be partying later and we said we would join them. When we eventually made it to the club ... the bride lost her engagement ring on the dance floor! They shut down the DJ and everyone got down on their hands and knees to look for the ring. My buddies and I helped too ... but we asked ourselves "Would they ever do this at the Russian Lady???" ....... "NO WAY!"
