If you cheer for Iowa State, you are not an Iowa fan.I cheer for iowa st when they’re not playing the hawks. Anyone else with me? Great game today!

I hate ISU. And they are better than Iowa in basketball. We can hope they lose, but it's as valuable as hoping Fran wins.
I cheer all Iowa teams, but Iowa is my #1 and has been for over 70 years.
I don't mind if ISU goes on a run. Just proves winning at an elite level in the State of Iowa is not as hard as it is made out to be.
THIS.
I don’t hate the actual ISU teams themselves- BUT there fans are so horrible - I never want them to win at anything.
I’m not a Fran fan and not defending him, but Iowa State is bank rolled by a guy with A LOT of money. Iowa has no NIL money for basketball.
I've tried to watch isu with indifference a few times recently but i always find myself rooting for the other team.
Hell no, I cheer for whoever they play.I cheer for iowa st when they’re not playing the hawks. Anyone else with me? Great game today!

LOL. Can you provide a shred of evidence for that inane statement?
Spend 3 minutes on CF fanatic and you’ll realize they absolutely hate Iowa. It’s an obsession really. They can’t give Iowa credit for anything, there’s 3k plus thread mostly disparaging Caitlin for anything they can. They can’t be the least bit objective.
Huh? You literally have to “opt in” to a separate forum to talk about Iowa on Cyclone Fanatic. The vast majority of posters there don’t even see those threads.
Denny Albaugh from Ankeny? He’s a billionaire. His son-in-law is a big ISU basketball fan. Have seen him sitting courtside quite a bit. I think Denny’s an ISU fan too. Wouldn’t surprise me if they’re the ones giving a lot for NIL.
They expect real results and are willing to take a risk on hiring coaches. You don’t get 14 years there to do something. Novel idea.
I don't get all of the ISU hate when that vitriol could be directed at Nebraska.
Guessing Fran would be gone by now if he had an 0-20 conference season (SteveP.) or if he was out drinking with college coeds of rival schools after road losses (Larry E.) or a coach filling his roster with thugs and drugs. (Tim F.)
What do you mean? Just because TJO has made more Sweet 16s in three years (on the heels of a 2-20 shit show) than Fran has made in his whole entire life doesn't mean that was the right move!
I would, however, like for Fran to move on or get pushed out the door.
It at least shows our pathetic program is OUT OF EXCUSES!I cheer for iowa st when they’re not playing the hawks. Anyone else with me? Great game today!

Well I guess enough of them opted in. It’s actually up to 5,000+ posts.
Time for a Real Discussion About Caitlin Clark
OMG!! Intentional? Queen Caitlin getting the home cooking at home today.

Well considering neither team has made a final 4 in 500 years suggest it actually IS hard. Some of you folks are masters @ compartmentalizing things.
Gonzaga, another team I’ve been a fan of for many many years. Who someone above says has made nine straight Sweet 16s and yet still hasn’t won a national championship and Marc isn’t just “a coach“ he’s one of the best in the country, again without a national championship, and one of the what 50 best 60, 70 best of all time…
When you can get Mark Few as coach I’ll listen.
ISU supposedly has a men's BB NIL payout of 1.2 million this year.
So you know for a fact that albaugh and family have not contributed to this funding?
According to the who? That absolute flies in the face of everything I’ve heard directly from Blum on their podcast.
Who is getting what?
Nope…I never cheer of the clones in anything. Hopefully, Illinois takes them out of tourney.I cheer for iowa st when they’re not playing the hawks. Anyone else with me? Great game today!

It’s been mentioned in several articles that Iowa’s only billionaire (per a simple google search it’s apparently Harry Stine) is a cyclone hoops booster. I don’t doubt that he helps bank roll the isu roster. What other reason is there for several of their players to end up in Ames, Iowa?

What do you mean that someone has to “opt in” to read Cyclone Fanatic? I occasionally skim that site (particularly b4/after Iowa plays them in football and basketball). It is just a simple google to get to that site. The Iowa hate that drips from many threads on that site is quite comical. They are a very insecure bunch. 😜
According to the internet, that's who!
It's never wrong.
Take Omaha..he was highly sought by blue bloods who we know pay..
He got nothing from ISU?
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Do you have ANY?
Or are you simply making things up and tossing out childish assumptions?
I’m sure he got something. But that 1.2 million is a huge sum especially considering the overall Iowa State NIL budget.
Why not hate both?🤣
Every fan base believes they are far superior with much more tact and class than their rivals. The truth is, most fan bases are generally the same; there are some great, welcoming fans who are respectful and fun to be around and then there are the ones you find on Twitter and on message boards who are absolute miserable ass4holes.
I'm definitely the latter 😉
Nothing to see here. Just the head coach of a men's basketball program hanging out with a billionaire fan of the team at the Kentucky Derby. Also of note: Albaugh owns a racehorse named "cyclone mischief". Probably nothing though.
And before you say: "so what?" - how many coaches of mediocre programs do you see hanging out with billionaires in their free time (i.e. non-booster events)? Name one. I don't see Fran hanging out with billionaires and, not coincidentally, his NIL fund is dogshit.
And lastly - to say a billionaire fan is donating huge amounts to recruiting is not an "extraordinary claim". It happens literally in every big time program. Saying the King of England was caught punching midgets in a bar alley would be an extraordinary claim.
