% of crowd at Carver vs Iowa St.

This is what apathy looks like.
4k tickets available for a top 5 IN STATE opponent.
A lot of people are no longer upset about Fran ball. They just don't care.

The apathy didn't start with or get bigger with Fran
While mostly true, that doesn't change the fact that the overall level of apathy is soaring once again.


Depending how tonight's game goes, people watching the upcoming Sunday afternoon game on TV could be left thinking that the BTN crew forgot to turn on the crowd noise pickup mics.

I'd rather they mute Jess Settles and let the ASMR of squeaky shoes/pitter patter of basketball dribbling lull me to sleep.

I’m really surprised ISU fans in Eastern Iowa havent bought up all the available tickets. Not too often do you get a chance to watch your favorite team being ranked in the top 5 with a very good chance to beat your biggest rival on their home court.

I wouldn’t have missed the 2021 football game in Ames for anything; no better feeling than seeing your team take the soul from your in-state rival on their turf.

Missed opportunity for cyclone fans.

Maybe.
But they might not care that much because unlike the football game having a potentially significant impact on the most important event of the season (CFP), the bball game has virtually no impact on isu legitimate Final Four hopes. Beating a team that is borderline to even make the field won't do anything for their seed. A loss won't mean much against the multiple high level opponents they'll face in the bigxii as they will have many opportunities to climb back up the seed ladder.

What is an Eastern Iowa ISU fan??....something akin to Bigfoot I would guess...

The program is incredibly stale and it amazes me that there are people out there that still can’t figure that out. Same coach forever and he’s basically Alford level “success.” Meanwhile Iowa State hires a new coach in what seems like every half decade and goes to a sweet 16 with about every one of them. Last time Iowa was in a sweet 16, I was in high school. Showing my age. It also shows how much mediocrity has been accepted with this program.

After a generation with same coach you know exactly who you are and where you are going.

Crazy how long you can make monopoly at power school and just bring mediocre.
 
Watching those clown fans celebrating at the end was nauseating. Need some new energy around the program.
 
both ISU football and basketball have coaches truly coaching to win not just keep collecting paychecks like the hawks
Don’t you know there is no way Iowa could ever hope to get a better coach than Fran? Can’t risk replacing him because….Lickliter.

They didn't sell out their football stadium for a night home game playing for a spot in the conference championship game. They don't have much to shout about.
And the turnout at the Big 12 Championship game in Texas was described as "embarrassing".
That being said, Fran has the Iowa program on life support and no one really cares.
 
Eastern Iowa fans blow for b-ball.

Been saying that for the last decade.

Specifically talking about these cities & the surrounding areas when I say sucky Eastern Iowa fans: Iowa City (obviously), Cedar Rapids (double obviously), Dubuque, Waterloo, Muscatine, Bettendorf, Clinton, Cedar Falls, Ottumwa, & Davenport.

Hats off to Hawkeye fans in Des Moines & Sioux City though.
Double this!
 
I could have watched the curly haired girl w/ the cutoff ISU sweatshirt and diamond belly ring celebrate a little longer...
However, that must be a unicorn for female ISU fans as most that I saw at that game did Moo U proud with their girth. 😳
