Well when you have Ohio State and Iowa together, you are definitely going to get an Iowa State reference at some point.
They have messed up UNI and Northern Illinois several times.
I remember once during the Dr. Tom era, Iowa was borderline about making the NCAA tournament. When they showed one of the regional brackets on the selection show I was thrilled....Iowa was there! Except on closer examination it was actually Iona.
I used to tell people it was a far western suburb of Chicago.Ol' Doodle had a friend in Hillcrest who was from the Chicago area (shocking!) and when he told his elderly grandmother that he was going to college, she asked where. He said University of Iowa and she said, "Oh, that's nice. What state is that in?" She. Lived. In. Chicago.
City hicks are the worst!Ol' Doodle had a friend in Hillcrest who was from the Chicago area (shocking!) and when he told his elderly grandmother that he was going to college, she asked where. He said University of Iowa and she said, "Oh, that's nice. What state is that in?" She. Lived. In. Chicago.
Had the very same thing happen to me in Chicago. This guy asked me where I was from. He had no clue where the state of Iowa was.Ol' Doodle had a friend in Hillcrest who was from the Chicago area (shocking!) and when he told his elderly grandmother that he was going to college, she asked where.

Got one for you.....a very attractive girl who I was going to ask out on a date and who lived in Chicago, asked me where I was from.....testing her geography and sense of direction, I told her I was from a small town about 20 miles northeast of Chicago. She said "wow we are fairly close to each other". I guess she forgot about the lake.Ol' Doodle had a friend in Hillcrest who was from the Chicago area (shocking!) and when he told his elderly grandmother that he was going to college, she asked where.

It isn’t just ESecPN, I’ve read multiple articles where the University of Iowa has been put in Ames.
Just like most journalism, facts don't really matter.
I think it's because you notice it when it's your team. It can happen to other teams, but you don't get offended by it and it's not that big of a deal and is quickly forgotten.
I assume at this point it has to be intentional from those in production. Either from Iowa/ISU grads ribbing each other, or even a bitter UNI grad or grad of a rival school...........
Yep. This has happened before when we play OSU. Like they can't help but put STATE behind both schools. Still not excuseable.....
Really? Not a big deal you say? Playing a the biggest game of the year on national TV, the most watched regular season womens game, and they put your cross state rivals logo in there. Okay then. I mean if your Iowa State, I can see not being offended if they said you were Iowa, (The States flagship University), i mean it IS the Hawkeye State, but the other way, NO thank you.....
Sure, but there's a BIG difference between a slip of the tongue in the moment during the game, as Sara did, and a pre prepared production where people look over that stuff before its in. Thats why they have editors...

I don't think you understood my post. This is a big deal to us as Iowa and Iowa State fans. A really big deal. If you were a Tennessee fan you wouldn't have thought much of it.
Maybe so. Still this team led by THIS young woman has raised the profile of womens basketball on a national level. EVERY major network drooled all season as to who would get their games. FOX themselves moved several of Iowa's games from affiliates to their main network to reap from this abundance, and THEN they do something so stupid as post the WRONG team. Totally ridiculous......
