Congratulations to all of the Iowa NCAA basketball teams.

*points at door. crowd murmurs in unison, growing in intensity and volume*

Out. Out. OUT. OUT. OUT. OUT.
 
A friendly congratulations ends up with comments like this is not surprising I guess.

Ignore those morons. I like the visibility to the state when all 3 schools make the NCAA tourney. I loved that graphic early on when CBS showed "State of Iowa is 3-0" or something to that effect early in this year's tourney.

It would be great if Drake + the other three in one year to make it but unlikely UNI and Drake would make it in the same year.

I always wish UNI and ISU the best.

Well, civility has not been at an all time high lately from either fan base. I'm not sure what response you were expecting?

Football season is a long way away and in truth you are the first Cyclone poster on here who has ever mentioned looking forward to football that I recall.

FWIW, thank you for the sentiment and the attempt at peace.
 
We have a new coach this year so everything will be on a clean slate.....until we lose to UNI and the wheels fall off lol. I am looking forward to football this year. A new coach and hopefully a few more wins to get us to a bowl game this year.

Good luck. You never know. Stranger things have happened.
 
You know, it's hard to know which of the three Iowa teams was best, all things considered. No one team looked all that much better than the others. Frankly, I think UNI, despite the odd collapse in its final game, might have been best "team" at year's end. Looked pretty darned good until the final 44 seconds. ISU probably second best but not by much over Iowa, which at times looked awesome but ended up with a whimper. Whatever ... I agree .. a great year for all three Iowa collegiate BB teams!

Yup agree, I like it when the state of Iowa is all represented in the dance. This year was a great year for the state of Iowa hoops and if not for a "no-show" and a collapse, Iowa could of had 3 teams in the sweet 16. Well I am hopeful that all 3 teams will be back there next year, but the biggest question marks are Iowa & UNI as they lose a lot.

Message boards are hostile to opposing fans, particularly rival schools. I've received similar responses if I post something on an isu board.

As a clone fan, I usually look forward to the end of football season. Just being honest.
 
Amen. Basketball "season" is officially over as far as I'm concerned. Not going to watch the rest of the tournament, bring on baseball / college football.
