Hello friends, I am from Iowa, and, like most Iowans, do not like Iowa St.
You see, Iowa St. can hide behind the veneer of their pretty boy coach Fred "Father Flannigan" Hoiberg, but although Flannigan is a pretty good guy, the rest of the team and fanbase is complete dreck.
Need more reasons to hate Iowa State? Allow me to help!
1. Their AD Jamie "Pullhard" Pollard is a grade A tool. Among his many lowlights as an AD include getting thrown out of his kid's HS basketball game for razzing the refs, trolling rival Iowa through highway billboards and Twitter, blaming BYU when his player, Melvin Ejim, flipped off their crowd, and many, many more.
2. Iowa Sate has a bad habit of kicking players off the team, err, I mean, players transfer away from the program at an alarming rate. 32% of the players under scholarship during the Hoiberg era have transferred away, and not one of those players was a big minute player. In fact, while transfer shopping this past winter, they kicked off former walk-on guard Bubu Palo after he was cleared of sexual assault by the courts, but ISU refused to allow him on the team. The state board of regents finally forced ISU to honor their scholarship.
3. Iowa State fans are very ignorant. They have a terrible victim complex, and if you have ever watched their home games on TV, you'll notice the loudly boo any call against them. They legitimately believe that their are forces out to get them, as they blame their loss in the NCAA tournament last year to the officials. Last season, after a close loss at home to Kansas, not only did a 50 year old booster run on the court after the game and try to attack coach Bill Self, but ISU students took to twitter with racial comments towards KU players, as well as threats to shoot their team bus.
4. Watch out for dirty play. Deandrea Kane once eye raked a player. Dustin Houge karate kicked a WVU player in the chest during a 20 point blow out.
5. Their assistant coaches are tool bags too. When they were recruiting top 10 prospect Rashad Vaughn, the ISU assistant recruiting Vaughn threw a fit on Twitter before Vaughn's announcement to ISU and leaked his announcement before he did so publicly. Being the class act they are, he called out the kid's character while snaking his announcement.
6. Again, Iowa State fans are serious idiots. If you happen to be in Manhattan for the game tonight, you'll notice them by their elastic waist pants, probably standing in line outside of the Times Square Red Lobster, taking pictures of Taxi cabs. These people consider wearing an ISU jersey "dressing up", and will complain that a beer in the Garden costs $12.
Thanks for letting me vent. Go Huskies!!!
