Re: Badger fans

Which papers had the "Both State Teams Win" headline?

DMR had something to that extent, at least on their website. Two gigantic identical features side by side at the top of the page, detailing every last bit of both the ISU/Iowa games. I went there Sunday looking for some coverage of our game, and it was like looking for Waldo trying to find the UNI coverage.

For instance, just take a look at their web page right at this moment. Its almost laughable how much Iowa/ISU stuff they have on there. Literally every headline on the top of the page is Iowa/ISU. They have have "hawk central", and "cyclone insider" sections. None for UNI or Drake, and friggin Drake is the hometown school.

Re: Badger fans

"something to that extent", huh?

Re: Badger fans

Yes, that's what I said. If I had known that TH wanted the verbatim headline from that day, I would have taken a screenshot. I guess I dropped the ball on that one.

If you were so panty-twisted poutraged about it, you should have. That way you'd have some proof that it actually happened.

Re: Badger fans

Ok, you are right. It didn't happen.

I know you'd never exaggerate anything like this to make yourself feel like a victim.

BTW, here's a link to the Register's UNI section:

If you scroll down the main sports page, just below the "Hawk Central" and "Cyclone Insider" links they have UNI and Drake. Seems like you have a hard time navigating the internet tubes. Bookmark that.

Wrong. I described exactly what was there.

Give me a break, the UNI/Drake sections are just links to categorize the articles that they actually put out. It is not a separate "section" or "feature" like they are for Iowa and ISU. You can't honestly compare this with this.

Listen, I don't even care about this. I expect this, and I most certainly expect it from the DMR. I never go their for UNI content, because they never have UNI content. I only went there on Sunday because I thought they might actually have some good stuff on our game considering who we played and what not. Someone made the claim about the "both teams win" headline, and I was just backing up that claim with what I saw on the DMR, because as usual, you decided dispute it like your normal douchey self.

True here is just a few from the page
Big Game: Iowa State at Iowa on Saturday (2:30 p.m.)

IOWA vs IOWA STATE FOOTBALL: What started as a feud among siblings turned into an all-out family rivalry.

What's your opinion on who has edge -- Iowa offense or ISU defense?

Download Iowa/Iowa State themes for your Facebook page

to be fair below the hawk central and Cyclone page they do have UNI and Drake news, but again the media is just like allot of people in the state they assume that everyone has to be a hawk or Clone fan first then like UNI orn others after and that's just not the case, I could care less about Iowa or ISU much for that matter all though I can stomach ISU more as at least their fans seem to not be totally arrogant like allot of IA fans i have came across that think all shall bow and worship the Hawks

Re: Badger fans

this week I would expect tons of Iowa and ISU coverage, since they are playing each other. Especially given the game that UNi has scheduled.

Right, but you get so butthurt right away about everything and are the least rational and most biased poster this side of mudafan. My point never was that the DM Register doesn't give equal coverage or even an appropriate amount of coverage, or that their coverage is easy to find. What I said was improbable (and I believe to be made up) was that they printed a "Both State Teams Win" headline. That's ridiculous and hasn't been proven. Feel free to prove me wrong, though. It'd be a first.

Re: Badger fans

It's also hard to believe that they're "Doing everything they can to hold UNI down".

Who's butthurt? You asked the question--I gave the answer. Plain and simple.

You then preceded to call me a liar, for answering your question with what I saw.

I totally agree. Problem is, you would think that same logic would apply when UNI is playing #12 ranked Wisconsin instead of Northern Illinois or Tulsa.

But your "Something to that effect" answer is dubious, given your lack of credibility. What, exactly, did it say?

Quad Cities sports talk is HORRIBLE. They don't even mention UNI at all. :-(
