What a beautiful weekend so far! Nebraska's best ever season ends with a loss to Iowa. And this was Iowa State's dream season where they were supposed to contend for a national title - and Iowa ends up going further than they do. Sucks to be our rivals right now!

We might as well go out and win this whole damn thing now.
You think its great now?

Wait until we end Illinois's run tomorrow, when they have a team capable of winning it all too, while Iowa dances on into the Final4!!

I was really hoping for a rematch with ISU! Alas, won't happen....

On the one hand, I genuinely like seeing all the Iowa schools have success in the NCAA Tournament, including Iowa State.

We're a tight-knit enough state that I'm willing to put aside differences when those differences don't directly conflict with ours. 😉

Unfortunately, ISU fans choose not to see it that way and thus they have to bear the consequences............ :cool:

Another trip down memory lane. When Raveling coached Iowa (1986), we played NC State in Minneapolis. Iowa State played another team right before us. The arena was filled with Cyclones and Hawkeye fans. During the first game, we cheered for the Cyclones. During our game, the Cyclones cheered for NC State. We lost the game St by 2 points.
Some Cyclone fans are so pitiful.
I remember being up there for the games. Was a freshman in high school. Iowa St had Jeff Hornacek. Did they play Michigan, or was it someone else?

What the hell was that, and why would they let him near their facilities??
I was out walking around Chapel Hill by myself one fine spring morning around 10 years ago when I came across the football stadium. One of the gates was open so out of curiosity I walked in. There wasn't a soul to be seen anywhere, so I just kept walking under the concourse and out to the seating area. Still not a soul around so I figured what the hell and walked out onto the middle of the field and took in the view, walked back out and continued on my way. It was so weird. I or anyone else for that matter could have done whatever I wanted. It was as if the people in charge left the stadium after the last game and someone forgot to close the doors on the way out.

I was at the Dome that day. Huge crowd. ISU beat Miami of Ohio on a Hornecek shot at buzzer in OT. Ron Harper played for Miami. That night Iowa lost to NC St. Iowa shot Free throws like ISU.
Roy Marble missed 7 fts.
Most Hawk fans pulled for ISU. Hawks had less support from Clon̈e fans. Long before internet created the atmosphere there is now.

You must not work with or have any friends or family that are the obnoxious kind. Know plenty of their fans that make it so sweet to see them lose. They are insufferable when they do well.

Iowa State beat a 15 and 7 seed and lost to a 6 seed.

Iowa beat a 8, 1 and 4 seed

Iowa had an easier path is the logic I guess
Funny thing is with them being 0-5 in last sweet 16 games looking at paths they had very favorable setup in getting there or matchups against higher seeded teams that they blew.

14’ lost to 7 seed UConn in sweet 16
16’ had to beat a 12 & 13 seed to make it to 2nd weekend before losing to UVA
22’ lost to 10 seed Miami in sweet 16
24’ lost as 2 seed to 3 seed ILL
26’ lost to 6 seed Tenn

Most, if not all of us, have Iowa State friends.

Most that I know are decent and will pull for Iowa when not playing Iowa State. But, of course, there are always those select few who…ya know…have to say the dumbest, most obnoxious sh*t when the Preparation H has yet to alleviate the butthurt.

Here are a few texts I received:

F*ck Iowa. Florida was nowhere close to deserving a #1 seed.

Iowa doesn’t make it out of the first round without the refs.

Even the commentators admitted Iowa State would win the national championship with Jefferson playing. It was like losing Ronnie Lester.

Idiots act like they destroyed the Hawks when we played them. That was far from it.
That was one of our 5 ref tilt losses, refs just took over last 5 minutes. Lipsey traveled and got free throws, two Jefferson drives were offensive fouls that got free throws. Koch called for a ridiculous foul chasing a loose ball out of bounds.

I've been around awhile, but it never ceases to amaze me how clone fans constantly define themselves through and obsess over Iowa.

There have been years where Iowa's team (in whatever sport) wasn't real good and many more in which they were real good. But somehow Iowa always ends up with a great run, huge win or a feel good story that anyone who loves sport can appreciate.

That just kills clone fans.

Why would you go to their forum or care what they say? I haven't watched them play and only care about MooU when we play them.
Because it is interesting to see the butt hurt from their fan base. Even before last night's game was over they were dreading the possibility that Iowa could still go to the Final 4. They act like they aren't little brother when everything they say and do is little brother.
