He is a frickin idiot, reading the stupid crap that he posts is a waste of my time and must be embarrassing to know he associates as UI.
Tell me about ISU...
- Thread starter jwboiler
- Start date
The ISU posts are by far the most popular threads on this board.
Well, except for WBB, it seems.
Well, except for WBB, it seems.
They aren't that popular it's like 5 Iowa state fans Arguing with One hawkeye fan so the post count gets up there.. Go over to cyclones board it's that cytwins constantly talking about the Hawkeyes. I'm sure he knows more about the Hawkeyes then he does about the Cyclones.
Let's face it, Purdue is probably going to see Iona in the second round.
The list is as follows: Duke (2012, 2014), Georgetown (2010, 2013), Missouri (1990, 2012), South Carolina (1997, 1998), Arizona (1992, 1993) and Iowa State (2001 and 2015).
Past tournaments has no bearing on this year. Only results from this year play into seeding.
If you wanna bring past results into it, when is the last time the Big 10 had a team win it all?
When is the last time someone other than Kansas won the "ultra competitive" Big 12? What is it, 12 years in a row now? In fact the last time a non-Kansas Big 12 team won it all was Oklahoma State in 1946.
When was the last time the Big Ten sent 70 percent of it's league to the NCAA Tournament?
Great. So now we know that all of six teams out of the currently possible 352 have the dubious distinction of losing first round games as each a #2 and a #3 seed. Kinked, among others, should now be able to clearly see the rather 'elite' company that isu keeps in this regard.
(As has been stated, with the exception of South Carolina, isu has very little else in common with the others in terms of tournament participation, games won and championships.)
What else do you have for us, kinked?
What is so critically important about the percentage of teams in the tourney? Did not the Big Ten fare better than the mighty big xii just one year ago with a smaller 'percentage' of teams participating?
This sounds familiar... Didn't the big 12 brag about getting 7 teams in last year? Then 5 of them got beat in the first weekend, only 2 made it to the sweet 16, and 0 made it to the elite.
2 B1G teams played in the final four.
Great and just as the past 5-6 years have played out we will see that the Texas Ten will be over rated yet again. Conversely I also expect to see Big Ten teams play above their seeds just as they have the past several years.
When his occurs of course you will come back and proclaim to the world just how wrong you were, how myopic isu grads are and that next year you won't be fooled again correct?
Naw that is the beauty of isu grads. They fall for the same thing year after year after year after year and continue to cling to their SOS myth. Despite how often it is proven to be a fallacy. It doesn't even matter if we are talking football or basketball they trot out the same myth.
Yes it doesn't matter how teams from the Texas Ten do in the tourney all that matters is how many get in and what their seeds are. Do they teach this logic at isu?
That's strange. If past performance, including tournament history has no bearing, how exactly is it that all of these rating services/polls are able to produce preseason rankings for these very teams?
And, isn't it primarily based upon those preseason rankings that schedule strengths are developed early on even to the extreme of having one conference believed to be far superior to all others?
The last time the Big Ten won it 'all' was in 2000 when Michigan State beat Florida. Since then, Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio State, Illinois and Indiana have each lost in the championship game. How have all of those very good, if not great, teams from that uber-talented basketball big xii done in that time span?
The reason this sounds familiar is because it is the same argument isu grads repeat year after year. Same thing for football. They go on and on and on and on about how great the Texas Ten is and how awesome isu's SOS is and then when the post season rolls around and they pee down their leg they say the post season doesn't matter.
It is as predictable as he sun rising in the east.
I was just asking a question because I didn't know if it had been done before. I've stated on here before I don't care how anyone does outside of Iowa State in the tournament. Hopefully all three in state schools win their first game but if Iowa or UNI loses I'm not going lose sleep over it.
Iowa and Iowa State both got beat in the first weekend. If ISU sent 4 teams to the Final Four it wasn't going to make me feel any better after the UAB game.
I think Story Country Republican precincts voted primarily for Ted Cruz, if that tells you anything.
As stated, the fans seem to love short-timer jucos and transfers representing their school. The fan website has threads about potential transfers they should consider. Their FB program is rapidly going in the same direction, and dang near gives away game tickets so they can boast about their attendance and loyalty.
I'm not sure ISU has put an Iowa kid on the court in 6 years, but the fans like to make a big deal about how their student enrollment has higher % of Iowa kids than UI, which is located close to the illinois border. Their fans are amusingly and chronically peeved that UI helmets have ANF decals, because ISU is the official Ag school in the state. It also irritates them that Iowa has a significant number of lowly non-alum fans - something ISU has never been able to cultivate. They love to bash the B1G, but would have given their testicles to have been considered as a new member in the most recent conference reorganization.
ISU has a good basketball team which is capable of beating almost anybody on a given day, which can also be said of Purdue. Niang is unique in what he can do. You'd think he'd get more shots blocked, but finds a way to get the ball in the hole. Should be an interesting game.
Why sure... that explains entirely why you and your isu cohorts spend so much time on an Iowa message board.
Take your rather asinine questions over to all of the 'experts' on CR or CF. They no doubt have the information you so desperately need and if not, will make something up.
I'm on here because I follow all in state schools closely and I don't root against UNI or Iowa. I hope all three teams win their first round game. I want ISU to do the best of the three and think they will but I don't dislike Iowa
Wow. It never ceases with some.
The difference was/remains that only one of those teams lost embarrassingly in last years dance. The other team actually won a game in the tourney.
It is isu grads that love to tout now awesome the Texas Ten is. It is isu grads that also tout the fallacy of SOS. What is truly amazing is just how deep rooted this is with isu grads. You would think they would give up after a few years of poor post season results but by god no, isu grads stick to their myths. This has been going on for more than 5 years and it now appears isu grad will never give up their myths.
How much does YOUR TEAM, YOUR SCHOOL and YOUR PERSONAL LIFE have to suck to where you have the TIME to post so much on ANOTHER SCHOOL'S FAN SITE?
Care to answer how bad things must be for you?
- Iowa State University has reached a tipping point with more than 36,000 students currently enrolled. Since 2005, enrollment at Iowa State has increased by 40% making Iowa State the top choice for Iowans attending any institution in higher education. Enrollment for Iowa State's core disciplines - engineering, agriculture, and the biosciences - has increased by nearly 70% in the same time span. In fact, 50% of Iowa State's students earn degrees in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) related fields.
Based on this new enrollment reality, the partnership between Iowa State University and the Iowa General Assembly has never been more important. This year, Iowa State is requesting a 4.5% increase ($8.2 million) in recurring funds that will be used to bolster programs and initiatives related to student success. As more and more students - particularly Iowans - choose Iowa State, it's the university's responsibility to provide them a world class learning experience.
New state dollars will be used to address critical capacity needs associated with the increasing student demand, particularly for programs in high demand by students and employers. Specific examples include:- Increase academic advising, tutoring, and supplemental instruction
- Investments in learning analytics leveraging big data
- Expand personalized learning opportunities and real-world experiences focusing on STEM
- Enhance financial literacy and identify low cost paths to obtaining degrees
- Scale-up online learning matched with technology and flipped classroom spaces
- Strengthen the student/faculty ratio in effort to keep pace with the 7th consecutive year of record enrollment

So ISU is requesting $8 million, or 1/3 of what Iowa gets from the BTN to grow? Hell, give it to them. They need it.
isu is too poor to do things themselves. Nothing new there, what is next, Big Bro will be forced by law to help little bro out?
Iowa has what 31,000 students as of now.. I'm sure when enrollment at o
or we could just buy them 25 broken combines to fix over there at tractor tech..
I'm talking about NCAA seeding. You're talking about rating services/polls......but okay? Thanks for chiming in yippee?
I'm talking about titles won, you have to bring up runner ups to make yourself feel better.....ahh never change yippee...never change. Cheers!
and how have the Texas Ten seeds fared in the past 6 years? Or is it a goal of the Texas Ten to have losing records in the tourney each year?
Hiding behind your conference because your team has won a whopping 1 NCAA game in 15 years? ISU has won 5 in the last 5.....nah must ignore.
Not hiding behind the conference at all. Just showing how false the myths are that isu fans cling to. SOS is a isu grad favorite and the post season for both football and basketball has proven it false each of the past 6 years. Does that stop isu grad, nope and that is what is so entertaining.
So as of now Iowa and Isu have won the same amount of ncaa games in the past 2 years at 1 a piece..
Nope that doesn't count. The only people on the planet that can be selective in their time frame is isu grad. They and they alone get to determine the what is the appropriate time frame and if it is questioned they get pissy and say you are a bully.
If you need the memo I will be happy to get you another one.
