Re: Future Schedules

Can I just say... after reading all of these crazy posts all morning... I'm so glad football season is back.

Re: Future Schedules

i address most of the iowa in the manner i do because they DO bother me. not in the grand scheme of life or anything, but worth addressing in my web browser. during the course of my life UNI has gone from a school with a nice little regional following to a legitimate threat to the "big 2" schools in the state of iowa. yet, i feel as though many of the posters here have begun to sound like little brother ISU fans have all these years. it just bugs me a little. it used to be that UNI appreciated the support from fans of other schools but at least on this board that is certainly not the case.

So, is ISU one of the "big 2" or are they little brother? Is UNI now a legitimate threat or a nice little regional brother of a little brother? Support who you want but don't be surprised and/or upset if your almighty "fictional 18th century woodsman" get criticized on another schools' fan board.

Re: Future Schedules

If you didn't care, you wouldn't respond. Plain and simple...

And thanks by the way for whomever removed the post, I owe you one. Don't be afraid to remind me of that every once in a while either...

Either you didn't read or you can't read. Since I can't be sure which, I won't be mean to you.

The predictable News response, "I'm so much smarter than you that I don't even have to dignify your post with an actual response".

As Jeg and others have pointed out, if none of this bothered you whatsoever, you would not respond. And you have been responding for 7 years.

Let's assume that at any point it bothered me (which is untrue). That would not prove that it currently bothers me. That was one of the many obvious things you assumed your way right past. I'd blame me for your failings if I were you as well.

Let's use an example. I dated a girl many years ago who showed her snatch to anyone with access to a Coors light over the course of several nights. At one time that bothered me. If someone mentions dumb girls who flash their snatch at people, I could well find it interesting enough to respond. That does not mean her former snatch flashing ways currently bother me, however.

See how that works?

I'll go ahead and make one more thing clear, since the obvious appears illusive in this thread: I have never been bothered on this board by anything anyone has posted. This place just isn't that, or very, important. I'm confident there are a small number of things one of you could do which would "bother” me, but to date that has not happened. Trust me, if it happens it will be quite clear.

Re: Future Schedules

I have no problem with dual fans and 9yr typically adds good things to the conversation. But I also don't think you should be surprised that Panthernation has a high percentage of fans that only cheer for UNI and will have anti-Iowa talk.

I apilogize for the back-to-back posts, but this is true. That said, anyone who has spent more than nine seconds in the state should expect dual-fans when it comes to UNI, and if we want the largest UNI fan base possible (which we all do, I believe) then we should be happy to accept anyone interested in joining in, regardless of their relative passions.

I'd rather have 17,000 partly or mostly committed fans in the dome than 4,000 totally committed fans. So would our bottom line and our future viability at the Divison I level, IMO.

Re: Future Schedules

Its exactly that "be happy with what you get, and be content where you are" attitude from you dual fans that rubs all of us UNI-only fans the wrong way.

Did she do it at the wedding?

Re: Future Schedules

Lol at Mad.

"Save us the stories, but here is mine."

Next time try and tell a believable story. Lol. You do get credit for creativity, however.

Wisconsin is infamous. I'm sure the "everything said by anyone who doesn't hate the hawks is wrong" contingent around here has it figured out, however.

There isn't a group of people anywhere on earth who are more irrationally obsessed with Iowa than some of you. They have nothing to do with this game or subject, but of course that angle has to be added. You people are a stitch.

Per usual, NB misses the point. And by doing so, showcases how moronic Hawkeye fans think.

It did happen. Stuff like that happens all the time. You think its "creative" that "invented" someone stealing a hat?? Wow. Dude, if I wanted to be creative I would share the story of getting piss thrown on me in the Iowa student section wearing UNI clothes years ago -- but I'll give the creativity to the Iowa students on that one, not me (yes, it was a frequent occurance in the old student section set up -- why do you think they finally gave them their own endzone??).

My point was -- learn to effing deal with it or get out of the kitchen.

And if you think somehow Iowa fans are above the fray, you're wrong. I've been to every Big 10 stadium, most multiple times, always wearing the opposition's colors and you'll never get treated worse than in Iowa City. Hands down. But, again, I still go back. Those of us with thicker skin can actually appreciate it as a part of the game and have fun with it (piss aside, of course. ).

But you know what, curmudgeons like you and 9YR are welcome to NOT show up in Madison any time. You're right... no one will want to help you clean up your glass house when it shatters.

First, it's not "you." I know some of the people on this board get a special kick out of feeling like they are in an extra exclusive club.

Second, if you don't want the largest UNI fanbase possible, and the income and status that comes with it, that's fine. I think you are in a tiny minority, however (even if it is the majority on this board), and your opinion is not shared by the University or the Athletic Program. It doesn't bother me, but it's too bad that you might alienate potential UNI fans by this "with us or against us" attitude, but hopefully this is a message-board-only phenomenon.

LOL. So your story happened, but none of the other stories in Madison did.

Got it.

The only one who missed the point here was you. I laughed at your story. I think you are trumping it up to try and make a point because you dislike Iowa from two directions, and I know you missed the overriding point of that post, but I digress.

I also know the only anecdotal evidence that counts is your own (there is that point you missed...I'll bold it next time for the reading impaired), but here goes anyway...

First, D-Cell batteries > "piss".


I haven't said Iowa fans are perfect angels. I'd love for you to link to where that was said. I doubt a sweet old lady who was just minding her own business was the victim of a crime, but I wasn't there, didn't see what happened, and haven't said Iowa fans are perfect. I have been to a number of Iowa games in Iowa City, including Wisconsin games with Wisconsin fans, and have never witnessed an instance of battery. I have been to multiple Big Ten venues (and been a visitor at Kinnick) and never witnessed a single problem, nor a single instance of violence, other than at Wisconsin (and not to me). Then again, I don't go into someplace - even Wisconsin - acting combative or like I'm anything other than a guest in someone else's house, but that's just me. I'm not sure how else to account for the discrepancy. Maybe Iowa fans are hiding their jerky nature from me.

Hell, my uncle is a life-long Wisconsin season ticket holder. We saw him this past weekend. My wife said something about going to that game. His response: "Madison isn't Iowa City. You might want to rethink going in there in somebody else's shirt.:

Those are my anecdotes though, so they probably don't cout.

Re: Future Schedules

NB - you're truly amazing.

So my assessment -- having been to ALL B10 stadiums and spending countless hours in the tailgate lots, going to the bars and generally soaking in as much atmosphere as possible at the suggestion of locals is an opinion to be disregarded, but because you've gone to a few places and only seen one negative instance in one place -- Wisconsin -- you're opinion that Madison is an unsafe, unhospitable place to go for a visiting fan should be trusted? Classic.

The ironic thing about all of this discussion is that Kinnick/IC is still one of my favorite venues to visit as an opposing fan. Its the passion that makes it fun and some of us can handle the loud vocal minority of idiots without getting our undies twisted (and such a great place to walk away victorious).

And for my Hawkeye fan friends there isn't a place they like to visit more than Madison. Then again, they aren't boring and carry the same chip on their shoulder like the Hawkeye fan you appear to be.

Seriously, you come up to Madison wearing purple and gold all weekend and I'll show you and 9YR the time of your lives.

Got it.

Where did I say nothing ever happens in Madison? I didnt. (Though its not like you provided any bit of proof.)

My point all along is that Hawkeye fans are always quick to talk about out how awful other fanbases are -- especially their big rivals -- because in general the Iowa fanbase has a very macho personality that, again, is nothing more than an inferiority complex that shows itself through and through the moment they start receiving any crap back.

Its like that bully you knew in elementary school -- he pushes you, pushes you and pushes you, until the one day you actually fight back. Then what does he do? Runs and tells his mom.

you're probably right, at least with the direction the discussion has gone.

I'd say unsticky this one, but PttB should post a new version with the information contained in the top post, and sticky that one.

if people wanted to continue the topics that this thread has (d)evolved into, this thread will still be available, and if people want to discuss actual future schedules, there will be the new (stickied) post.

This is my last post on this point; it's grown quite long in the tooth.

I've been making fun of you. I can't believe this isn't obvious. Specifically that you were the one who chose to discount the experiences of others while simultaneously standing exclusively on your own story. You now want "proof" while providing none of your own, other then your own anecdotal evidence which is of the same kind and quality as that which has been provided (and dismissed) by others.

Now, if you would like to make one last unfounded "chip on your shoulder" dig, the floor is yours. Enjoy the last word on this one.
