isu butthurt with Kelvin Bell

Honestly, people need to get a life.

From Jamie Pollard tweets to the Omaha rag to this.

Nice to know Iowa fans, radio guys, and assistant coaches live rent -free in so many rival fans' heads.

Next thing you know, Iowa message boards will be breeding grounds for threads about Nebraska and Iowa State. Oh wait...;)

More faux outrage from ISU. At the end of the day, who really cares one way or the other. I want our recruiting coordinator recruiting good football players. Could care less about his feelings on whether or not farmers have college degrees. He shouldn't have responded and that is all.
 
Just tell them it is their Super Bowl and call them little brother and say hawks going for 4 in a row! 4 in a row will send them back into self doubt and excuse making.

No, you really don't need an ag degree to be a farmer. I worked on my grandpa and now uncles farm as a kid and to this day would love to still do it. Maybe you need a degree to get in on the corporate farm, but just a small farm farmer, it's not necessary. The corn, beans, cows, pigs, sheep still grow the same regardless of having that degree

I grew up in farming community and my brother in-law is a farmer. I know several dudes who farm. Not 1 of them went to college.

This article reminds me of the dumbass argument stay at home moms make. Stay at home moms are drivers, chefs, housekeepers, etc.. Please. Making mac n cheese from a box doesnt make her a chef.

Applying fertilizer and pesticides doesn't make u a chemist.

Some people wouldn't feel right or know what to do with themselves if they didn't find something to get outraged about. ISU fans on anything that relates to Iowa pretty much applies to this.

Iowa and ISU help farmers, ISU more than Iowa due to it being an ag school. Deal with it, get over it, and move on.

I've got black and gold running thru my veins, But I'm very much an Iowa St fan. I'm an Iowan! I think a lot of Hawk fans would be thrilled if ISU won the Big12. I swear they have a course at ISU called Hate the Hawkeyes 101 though. I get it to a certain degree. This article was opinionated crap and a poor attempt to discredit U of Iowa. Pulling another down to gain elevation is never attractive and typically a sign of desperation.

I have not lived in Iowa since graduating over 30 years ago. As a 3 year lettermen I too bleed black and gold. I still consider myself an “Iowan” and always rooted for the Clones when not playing the Hawks. It has become harder and harder. Some years ago I was in a local bar in St. Louis watching Iowa vs ISU basketball with friends. A group of my friends told me “hey, you should meet our friend sitting over here he’s from Iowa too”. They walked me over to his table, I introduced myself and he told me he was a Cyclone fan and I said I was a Hawkeye but rooted for the Clones when not playing the Hawks. This little wimp stood up from the table, came towards me pointing his finger and said “you’re a ****in liar! No Hawkeye fan would EVER root for the Cyclones”. This is an attitude I find pretty common among ISU fans.

The large majority of farmers that I know, both sides of the rivalry, have degrees. Even as an Iowa fan I found the quote to be short-sighted.

Well, I hate to sound like an Internet toughguy. I don't even remember what my reply was but he certainly got the idea I was having none of being called a "****in liar". Iowa State won the game and he never cheered or said a word when the game was over. He kind of just slunk (or is it slinked) out of the bar. Really though, we could have had a good time, wager a beer, some friendly bantering. But instead one of the friends told him he better shut his mouth or he would get his head ripped off by me. Of course I was not happy the Hawkeyes lost but he really didn't look like he enjoyed the Cyclone win either.

So someone that calls him or herself CyHusker (who graduated from ISU undergrad and is at UNL for grad school) wrote this? SHOCKING! And if you’re going to write an article that you want to be taken seriously, at least have the nut sack to include your real name. If there is any credit I can give to Randy Peterson or Chris Williams - it is that they will actually put their names behind the stupid shit they pump out.

It seems to me that the Clowns have as much beef as Hawkeye fans had when Cowherd declared Iowa the "fake ID" of college football. The only thing agricultural about the U of I is the state it resides in. Does the U of I support farmers? Yes. Does the U of I have an agricultural department? No. Cyclowns fans can be upset about a coach misrepresentating things just like Iowa fans were upset with Campbell offering every kid he watches play high school ball.

Wow WRNL likes to take comments out of context. Bell said those words, but he was being asked about whether Iowa not offering an ag degree hurts in recruiting guys who would like to major in that. And his response went to farmers not needing a degree to be a farmer. He's trying to put the best face on it and doesn't want to be put in a position to say "yeah not offering an Ag degree makes us less desirable than land-grant universities."

We Iowa fans likely overreact as well to every perceived slight from Pollard. It's part of what makes up a rivalry, caring about what an opponent thinks of you. The entire reason ANF became a "thing" is that Iowa football was really, really good at the time that Hayden put the ANF sticker on the helmet. Like No. 1 in the country good and going to the Rose Bowl. Iowa State could have been the first to put ANF on its helmet and no one would have given a crap because they sucked and were never on TV. People outside the state have no idea that Iowa State offers ag degrees and Iowa doesn't. They see the state as one big cornfield. So ANF caught on, and Iowa got credit for it. Too bad ISU. Next time, be better.

Yes, but ISU is a thousand times more about the government subsidizing mega corporate agribusiness than helping individual farmers.

And the ANF promotion is more about publicizing the plight of small family farmers to a larger national audience than about telling real farmers how they should be doing their jobs. The UI football program is obviously the most appropriate for that.

That's anecdotal.

The article even stated that 3/4ths don't.
