Farley gives up 900k

Re: Farley gives up 900k

It would be like a 1A team playing a 4A team, Valley vs. Southern Cal, Lake City. I don't think the Southern Cal, Lake City coach would want to play Valley, and I do think that there would be a lot of injuries on the SC side. Valley obviously has more students, more money, better equipment and facilities, resulting in bigger and more athletic football players overall. Sorry, but if UNI played Michigan and Iowa in the same year, some of us might have to suit up to finish the season.

Re: Farley gives up 900k

Ryan19, you sir are ignorant.

Again, before you take that as a huge slap in the face I ask you to find the definition of the term "ignorant."

I am not going to come on here and say "anybody anytime" but the fact of the matter is we got just as roughed up playing South Dakota last year as we did BYU. There is absolutely no comparison to be made. It is not like they are fighting and its a light weight vs a heavy weight.

Does ISU have a better chance of getting hurt when they play UNI instead of Baylor? UNI is bigger? Well?

The 1A high school vs a 4A high school is also a poor argument. What you run into more there is freshman and sophomores being thrown into the mix more against Juniors and Seniors. The correlation to IA to IAA is not that significant. The same amount of Freshman-Seniors play at both levels. A very poor argument.

You ever suit up versus an FBS team? And high school ain't college, Mort.




Sorry, son, you're completely and utterly wrong. You're assuming your little hiney off, 'specially nowadays with the tremendous parity running through the upper divisions of CFB.

From my own experience, though it's only a little more credible than your suppositions because it's only one data point, I started and played about 90 plays against Kansas State back in the day, yet was much more physically sore after losing to Drake the week before.

Show us your data, Skippy.

Re: Farley gives up 900k

I don't buy the "we'll get beat up by FBS teams" arguement either. It's not totally apples to apples, but the same is true in rugby. You can get hit just as hard playing a small town Iowa team as you can an upper level Premier League squad. I've played plenty of both, and know of what I speak. In fact, some of the less experienced players are more likely to "head hunt" than guys in the upper levels.

Where did you see Coach Farley turn down the game from Michigan? I haven't seen anything on it in the papers or here on the net.

It did happen. It isn't internet myth, I can assure you that. If we didn't have Iowa already on the slate for this year, it would have happened.

So, that doesn't make it not true. Like you said, if we weren't already playing Iowa it would have happened.

Exactly. It was turned down because we already had Iowa.

I like the Iowa/ISU series, but it does beg the question: why schedule so far a head like this? We can get bigger name schools who would pay more to have us. Oh well.

You just stated before that the fact that Farley turned down michigan was an internet myth. But now you said he turned it down because of Iowa. So which one is it?

We continue the in state series because travel is much easier and cheaper and it is great for the state and the fans. And we still get a decent payday.

Re: Farley gives up 900k

The Iowa/Iowa St game has more benefits than money. Less travel(which helps net profit), recruiting(especially when we win), etc

Wrong. I will quote my post for you.

If you read slowly you can see that I said, UNI turning Michigan down did indeed happen, and it isn't an internet myth. I go on to say, assuming you are still with me here, that had Iowa not already been on the schedule for this coming season UNI would be making a trip to Ann Arbor this coming year.


I typed that slowly, so maybe this time it can be understood.

It was a very interesting class. I learned a lot of tricks. It helps to be taught by the master a-hole though.

It's not something that would be in the press....someone inside the athletic department leaked the info.
