Iowa State Football Bashing Thread

[Thrawn II]

State funding of any athletic departments at this point is dumb.

 

[newsbreaker]

State funding Iowa is absolutely NOT critical. Not slightly critical, not a little critical. We have a giant budget hole and the actual schools are wildly under-funded.

If ISU can’t survive in that world, then it needs to find a level where it can.

"Quick check showed the state of Iowa brings in 300 million in gambling taxes. If we could get the legislature to peel 100 million of that off and split it 50 ISU 30 Iowa (using their TV rev to justify the differential) and 20 to UNI to keep all 3 universities on better athletic footing.

Wouldn't be perfect but it would be pretty good. IMO."

Yes, let's subsidize/over subsidize the players at a school that's in a dying conference that the market has indicated no interest in. And take it from the general fund which primarily supports education and health care.

Except that’s not what would happen. Iowa has already in some ways subsidized isu. That’s likely what’ll happen

 

[Hawk&Balls]

If we're basing off tv revenue, shouldn't it be 100 to uni

 

[KitKatApples]

That's a band aid on a bullet wound. It only staves of the inevitable a few more years. Complete waste of money.

No, he did, but that was still the conclusion.

Can’t he use all his Under Armour money to save ISU?

I love this. Single stock risk for market return to hopefully pay for a bloated outdoor mall that’ll cost hundreds of millions of dollars and appreciate at a rate under inflation.

Fiscal conservatives used to get all worked up over throwing good money after bad. Wonder what happened to that?

 

[Hawk&Balls]

Can they be more delusional?


So excited to see what Rogers can do. Haven’t been this excited for ISU football in a loooong time.

I just looked back at the 2021 Hawkeyes and saw Spencer Petras led us to a 10-4 season. That gave me positive thoughts

 

[newsbreaker]

They seem to think Campbell won because of Iowa State, when every indication is he won despite Iowa State.

Now they have a G5 goober with a G5 roster.

 

[6deuce]

A mobile QB does worry me though mainly because Kirk's track record of being a dumbfuck against ISU.

[KitKatApples]

Remember when they threw three times at the goal line instead of giving the ball to Kaleb Johnson and it would up being the difference in the game? Those people are all still here

Brandon Walker is a twat

 

[Renegade_ofFunk]

Having his team lose to a Kirk’s son, Brian Ferentz coached offense left that guy with some kind of TBI. It’s really sad to watch.

 

[The Full Monte]

This nerd might be the epitome of Cyclone Fan

 

[Wanderer]

I never thought I'd se a Hey Guys want of be, but here we are.

 

[douglasbader]

Ferentz should be choked to death if he loses to these fucking dorks ever again.

 

[Mr. Hawk]
