You got me there Herky. I was actually having some productive and interesting discussions with some of your fellow Hawkeye fans. I really am out now. I have some stuff to do that I've been procrastinating all day.. and I have no interest in any type of interaction with you.
I am sorry to burst you bubble but Ames does in fact suck as a college town, especially for a male (not many ladies up in the ag and engineering field my friend). To compare it to Iowa City which is nationally renowned as one of the top college cities in the nation is just unfair, not to mention the campus is known as one of the top 3 party campuses in the nation. Ames has it's charms do not get me wrong, but for a college student cmon lets be real. I heard the water is good though
Well no, of course not. But I'm sure any coach over a 17 year career would have tough losses. What I think is strange is that you are over here trying to convince us that ISU is suddenly relevant. Campbell has a tough road to hoe, good luck to him. He's going to need it.
Sorry, but now I've heard it all. "Des Moines, which is being complemented nationally fur bring a surprisingly hip and cultured place." That is hysterical..
Always interesting to hear the folks from Ames claim that their nice little town hardly differs at all from Iowa City. What a joke. The two are as different as the universities they house, and that's not a knock on either, just an acknowledgement that their core missions and fundamental purposes differ. Ames is certainly a nice, clean college town with a beautiful campus. But the comparisons pretty much end right there. While Iowa City is certainly Iowa at its core--the state's first capital city, after all--it has a very different feel from Ames, which is very "Iowa rural." Iowa City has a much more cosmopolitan feel, thanks in part to its extraordinary literary heritage and the liberal arts/humanities focus of its its university. Ames, besides being literally smaller (quite a bit smaller when you factor in Iowa City's growing and hefty contiguous neighbors, Coralville and North Liberty), Ames oozes a cozy smallness that some people love but others find confining and short on sophisticated appeal. We could go on and on about the differences but maybe the fact that ISU students find it necessary to drive an hour to Des Moines for a good time says something about the appeal of Ames?
Ok so it's easier to find a book club meeting at a coffee shop then. Cool. Also it's not necessary for students to drive down to DM for a good time but it's a very convenient option that many take advantage of. It's a 43 minute drive tops.
I already admitted that the drugs are better in Iowa City. That's not a point of dispute. Also there are plenty of nice young ladies in Ames. As a matter of fact there may be more female students now than in IC considering the enrollment is higher.
lololololol
Yes, Iowa City is such a sophisticated city. It's basically New York..
Are you people even listening to yourselves?
It might not be New York City (thank god) but according to Forbes Magazine it is the 3rd best College Town in the United States....the bigger question should be why the hell are you listening to us you troll
Google it (both Forbes article and definition of Troll)
Son! Do you live in a snow globe? Four birds will be sacrificed in yer dang honour and two buckeye stickers will be removed from yer tinfoil helmet.
Your jims appear quite rustled, eh?
3rd best college town...in the middle of Iowa?
I haven't laughed this hard in a long time...when I visit, both Kinnick and IC come off as a bit dumpy (but maybe I'm used to my stadium & city up north).
I am just reporting facts from a credible source- funny I do not see your city up north on the list nor do I see Lincoln....if you do not believe me I have provided a link here for you....if you have anything more to say please provide some objectivity to your argument....
Forbes Top 10 College Towns December 2015
Another funny thing about your stadium your used to up north is that its max capacity (the most it could possibly seat) is smaller than Kinnicks lowest attended game since 1974....how pathetic is that!

I'm sitting here trying to decide which is funnier:
A.) a Hawkeye just used their stadium's "max capacity" to justify it's rank vs TCF Bank Stadium (TCF is superior to dumpy Kinnick in several ways), all the while the Hawk fanbase can't even sell out their SENIOR DAY at the end of an undefeated regular season..?!
-or-
B.) the constant reference to all things Nebraska on this board... Here we are referencing IC & Minneapolis, and ol milehighchickenhawk adds Lincoln to the discussion for good measure, like anyone gives a shvt about where the Nubs play. The butthurt penis envy over Debby looms large on this board..they are the new ISU over here it seems.
I have sat back and listened to your drivel. On a day when we has 10" of snow up to game time and 20 mph winds from the Northwest, many fans couldn't make the drive. Iowa still had 55,000, which I believe is TCF's capacity. Go back in your hole, like a good little varmint.
I only add in Lincoln because some of are unsure if you are in fact a Minny Troll or a Nebby Troll in disguise due to your constant references to Nebby...either way a Troll is a Troll and either way there is not much either university/program/or city can say to objectively make an argument that their University, campus, athletic program, or what ever is superior to Iowa's. All I constantly see from you is laughable dribble about things such as Minneapolis and TCF Bank, so I insert credible and factual information and you comeback with "TCF is superior to dumpy Kinnick in several ways" and fail to list a single one...for what is is worth Iowa is consistently in the 25 for average attendance annually (another fact you can google).
Here is an interesting article from your very own Minnesota StarTribune:
Why is TCF Bank Stadium a Failure
Sounds wonderful! Move on my friend, just move on
For your point B I find it ironic coming from a fan base who chants "who hates Iowa? We hate Iowa" when they aren't even playing Iowa. Obsessed much
By the way talking about dumps your bball arena is one which I hope you are enjoying a great bball season with little dick Pitino. Sure you guys have that Rutgers game circled on the schedule battle for 13th place.
Downtown Des Moines is a dump and about the last place I'd want to be late at night or early morning, and the short drive back to Ames with a few under the belt, well......
Downtown des moines isn't the dump it used to be. The past 10-15 years they have done a great job fixing it up... but for an iowa state fan to use down town as a reason why Ames is better is weak.. "hey come to iowa state, our bar scene sucks here in Ames, but just a 40 minute drive you can go some decent bars...
More coeds in Ames than IC??? Surely you jest!
The only coeds in Ames <200lbs are on the WBB team.
Over on halo they r very confident, mr hawk says Jackson to Iowa is a done deal
Who cares? Do they have any confirmation on whether Ames or Iowa City is a better college town?
Seriously though, that is great and expected news.
For those of you who put stock in such things, Jackson just started following Tim Drevno, OC and OL Coach at Michigan.
In the matters that people on this board seem to consider important, the two towns could hardly be less similar.
