Cliff Notes on Iowa’s OLine: it’s bad

How is Oregon?

I bet pretty, pretty good.

Top 8 in every category

Lame

 

[Stu Beagle]

Is Barta retarded or did Iowa Corn write a big check?

Probably both.

It is what the people want.

Not the message board people, but the vast majority of both fanbases. "Just drop South Dakota State if you want to add an SEC team" would be the most common response.

It is never going away without the decision being forced. Essentially, the new money gap would have to really matter and be seen on the field that makes it more like a UNI to Iowa talent disparity level before this would stop being a home and home.

 

[Renegade_ofFunk]

Unfortunately there are large swaths of drooling morons that absolutely love this game.

It’s the same assclowns that say “I love all the chirping at work with the Cyclone fans on CyHawk week.” And “oh I cheer for Iowa State as long as they aren’t playing Iowa.”

Fuck those people. They can take a flying fuck into the sun.

 

[mac50702]

Iowa sports are just a fundraising avenue and opportunity to host alumni events. Nothing more. Iowa really isn't interested in winning, just making sure the spigot doesn't turn off. If Iowa played the big ooc games, the BOR, and administration wouldn't care, but the Iowa state game? Oohhh, buddy, that's their event to rub elbows with the state policy makers.

 

[IowaWigman]

The bar owners in Iowa City are a powerful lobby.

 

[Shawneemicks]

This isn’t difficult. Gary is just a dumbfuck. Two years ON/Two years OFF.

Everyone is mostly happy.

 

[KitKatApples]

Ten Conference games will kill it. Make it happen Kevin

Fuck you. Who gives a shit what the vast majority wants. The vast majority is how you get Late Night with Jimmy Fallon.

The vast majority is comprised of fucking morons.

The vast majority is comprised of fucking morons.

And by extension, @L. Wade Childress .

And yes - the vast majority want Jimmy Fallon. And that's how we got Jimmy Fallon. And that's why we still have Jimmy Fallon. Don't shoot the messenger, Douglas.

Why would ten conference games kill it?

 

[WCFHawkeye]

Why would ten conference games kill it?

7 home games, so assuming 12 game schedule, would never play a non-conference game away again. With 9 games, Iowa plays in Ames the years we have 5 home conference games already, and in Iowa City the years we have 4.

 

[Stu Beagle]

Why would ten conference games kill it?

He assumes we keep a 12 game schedule which won’t happen. Will get bumped up to 14 games

 

[Shawneemicks]

14 games by 2030.

It’s never going away. May as well get to work on painting a tiger hawk on the water tower.

Hypothetically, were that task to be completed, would the game go away immediately?

FYI...it's in the UI's 10-year campus/facilities plan to tear down that watertower.

Well, fuck you!

So is this a workaround to cancel the game?

Engie is much more aggressive with this stuff and it’ll be happening in the next year and a half to 2 years. They’re basically waiting on approval for size.

 

[HawkBall23]

This game provides just about ZERO actual benefit to Iowa's SOS, in either CFB or MBB, most seasons. None.

I’m indifferent to the series continuing, but this isn’t true for how Iowa schedules.

 

[HawkBall23]

You're actually right, I just want this game to be played - if needs to be at all - every few years. Not every.single.damn.year.

Key illustration; that the Hawks lost in Iowa City this season to that truly shit team will be a burr in the saddle for a while. Yes, it was more about Iowa shit-tastic offense more than opponent, but the point remains.

 

[Hawkstrat]

I want it to end because I don't like Iowa State and I think it hurts them more than it hurts Iowa.

Lots of changes coming to the UIHC/Kinnick/Athletics areas.

Where will the water come from?

Where will the water come from?

Your mom

 

[Kamala]

Your mom

It seems unlikely because she doesn’t live in Iowa City and doesn’t like to drive there

 

[BngHawk]

Fair point.

 

[The Dad]

Coker Pace about to go for 250 in a how in the everloving fuck did we lose that game against MN on BTN.

 

[cloudhawk]

Tanner Miller alert

 

[The Dad]

Tanner fucking Miller, that’s how.

 

[L. Wade Childress]

Ames

Hooray!
