Iowa State tix
- Thread starter ClarindaA's
- Start date
Based on all of the big talkers… who is willing to follow through? I will pay $40 for two tickets and cheer my a$$ off for the Hawks! DM me and will will figure it out.
Parking passes going for north of $250 not even near the stadium. Good luck getting into this game for under 100 bucks a pop.
I’ll watch, just not sure if I’ll be Iowa city
Stay the f home then. Season tickets and I will be at every damn one win or lose.
Nice try, what? I owe the team that represents our state, my alma mater, my city. They are working hard no matter how talented they are. Yes, it is awesome they are talented enough to get to play football in college, something we couldn't do. We have guys from all over to play for this university and represent us, the fans, for a variety of reasons. In the meantime they are sacrificing to be the best version of themselves they can be. If it isn't up to par, it isn't because they aren't working.
I am still critical of the coaches, angry about the performance, embarassed by the perception but I am not going to boo or stop attending.
csb. Enjoy the game and the boo birds. I'm gonna spend the $350 I just got back from StubHub on something worth while.
I’d buy 4. $20 for the hand full. Would take my kids that don’t care about sports at all. Maybe they’d change their mind after a game this.
Then turned around and had 67 total yards the next game. Iowa was 4-5 in the conference that year largely because of shit offense, I'm so sick of hearing about that complete outlier game. Such a loser move
It seems early in the year for such a high volume of snowflakes.
5 years ago..... next your going to talk about how the offense looked with Brad banks.
I dropped 3k to go watch them put up 3 points at half in Indy. Ill watch on TV but I'm done with spending the whole day in kinnick to watch 1 game when I can watch 10 with less time investment. I'm voting with my pocket book. Nepotism is the word you are looking for to describe the Iowa football program and frankly Barta is feckless, KF runs the ship and everyone knows it.
So who from the portal could come in and make the whole oline block/work together ss a team better? Specific names, please, since you seem to know that this player exists and wants to transfer to Iowa.
How long are people going to bring up this one game as ”proof” of something?
I dislike that as much as “Remember when Brad Banks ran out of bounds short of the first down on that third down play against Michigan?” whenever fans say that he should have played more that year.
We have a new one now with Spencer sliding four yards short of the first down in Saturday’s game on the 3rd down play. I couldn’t believe he didn’t try to go for it but he has been destroyed on similar plays in the past.
Nebraska brought in like 18 transfers/jucos. You don’t think some of those guys were offensive and would rather go to Iowa than Nebraska??? Are they all going to start? Nope. When you bring in two transfer qbs one will not start by default. At least they went for it. Michigan State did the same thing the year before. Defense and special teams don’t need any help.

To be honest, given his lead feet I was surprised he got as far as he did.
Oh I know. I was just trying to bait the people whining about an ugly win over a very good team to see if they actually are willing to just give away their tickets. I knew they wouldn’t.
Your question is dumb. Very rarely do you get a transfer that you know is going to start and be a home run (unless it’s quarterback like Williams or Rattler). You win in the portal by bringing in numbers and hope some of them work out. Maybe bring in four offensive lineman and hope two make it. Alabama and a couple others can get the elite portal guys. Everyone else takes numbers and lets things play out.
You do realize that there is a scholarship limit, right? Jesus, some people think that this is now like the pros. Even they have salary caps.
Take your example of Nebby. Do you know how many players they have lost to transfer since the portal started? The quality of those players? I think you'd be surprised. Lack of loyalty has a price and they are paying it. Their record is the result.
If Iowa can get a Van Valkenberg or a Heflin or a Stilianos, yes, but if the kid in the portal is just looking for the highest bidder, he won't fit in anyway.
I think what it comes down to is development and attitude. To miss on one OL recruit may seem inconvenient, to miss on a bunch seems to scream who the hell is coaching these guys and supposedly developing them ?
We used to pride ourselves on OL play and by the 4th quarter we were OWNING the LOS.
The OL yesterday was blown off the ball consistently! That was as bad as I’ve ever seen an Iowa OL get whipped. It starts right there to try and fix this offense. SP isn’t very good to start, but without a line he’s flat out awful. His already negative traits are magnified once the protection breaks down. FIX THE OL!!
It’s become more like the pros, that’s why you are lost. There is no salary cap on NIL! Free agency has begun! We lost four scholarship receivers from last fall to the end of spring. There are open scholarships, that could have been used. The defense doesn’t need any help. Three years ago you probably don’t lose Charlie Jones, because he doesn’t want to have to sit out a year. Now we lose him. Things change. It’s hard for me to blame the players. They just go out and do their best

I remember, and here's what happened:
A talented Iowa team took UNI lightly and won a game it had every reason to lose. The Hawkeyes went on to build a perfect 9-0 record highlighted by Stanzi to McNutt -- "7 got 6" -- on the last play of the game to win @ MSU, perhaps the most physical football game I have ever seen.
And then NW came to Iowa City. Stanzi ran a bootleg out of the end zone and was knocked out of the game early with Iowa leading. James Vandenberg entered at QB, and he was totally unprepared and performed like a deer in headlights. Iowa lost. Perfect season gone.
Was that the QB's fault? Or was it an abject failure on the part of KF and staff to have the backup QB ready to play by the TENTH game of the season?
And in 2009 Iowa had offensive talent, led by the gunslinger Ricky Stanzi under center. There is no comparison between Stanzi and the current starting QB.
I hope this answers your question.
You repeated what I said that differentiated between the pros and NIL, namely that the pros do have a salary cap. So we agree there.
What I don't like is that Charlie was able to transfer again with no penalty. That was wrong.
ClarindA - just wanted to let you know we are all set with tickets. My SIl did end up having two extra. Thanks though for the offer and will let ya know if something changes

Well he doesn't have DJK, McNutt and Moeaki as his receivers and I don't recall who the OL was back then but I bet they had a lot more experience than these guys do. Yet by all rights little ol UNI should have knocked us off that day. Imagine that firestorm!
I will be there screaming my lungs out like this past Saturday.
They don’t get paid in tax dollars, it’s money fans/boosters come up with
Me too. I might be mad as all get out at the end of the first quarter when we have 3 yards but I will be there supporting the players.
