Re: Barta sez decision on in-state basketball games could come soon

they aren't flexing any muscles. uni has the same amount of power as Iowa or isu, it just takes two to tango in this case. If this series is so "good for the state" why am I one of about 5 iowa fans I know that wants to keep the current setup?

and don't tell me iowa is scared. iowa has performed fairly well vs drake and uni, even during a bad stretch.

First, I didn't really follow your post. Second, you are smarter than to say that UNI and Drake have just as much power in this case as either Iowa or ISU. Both schools are along for the ride and trying to make the best decision they can since UI and ISU are dictating the rules. Please don't insult the intelligence of everyone here or anywhere else by arguing the opposite. Third, I don't think that Iowa is "scared" of UNI at all. No matter how much we like to toot our horn for beating Iowa of late, they own the series and beating them is far from a gimme game for UNI. In fact, it is still a thrill because it doesn't happen all that often. But, I do believe that every time UNI gets a chance to play a BCS school in either football or basketball it helps legitimize UNI for many grads of UNI or casual fans in the state of Iowa.

iowa should force uni to play in carver then, so they are so powerful and all.

I am proud to be a uni grad. I love in Iowa city but always in uni gear and everyone its clear where I went to school. I agree that we should talk birth Iowa and isu where to put it. Screw them[/QUOTE]

Amen! I always wear UNI shirts and I feel that I am the unofficial ambassador to UNI in the QC. I often get compliments from others on it and wonder why they don't wear UNI gear if they are fans.

I wear UNI gear quite a bit, but I take it off for love. And I'm not having the talk about screwing, where to put it, and birth with Iowa or ISU, their parents can do that.

Isn't Oelwein Businessman an oxymoron?

Re: Barta sez decision on in-state basketball games could come soon

UNI fans have an identity crisis. We should be much prouder of our teams & university than we are. The media has it beat into our heads that you have to be an Iowa or Clown fan to be a real person. The hell with that. Be yourself & be proud of your university & how far it has come. Fight for it, represent it & be proud of it. There is nothing more that says something about someone's confidence than being a UNI grad that cheers for the other two teams & thumbs UNI.

This is actually a good post. Well said.

i said it before...fill the inboxes and phone lines with UNI talk. If they don't get the calls or emails they think people don't care. Prove them wrong

I was watching Intervention last week and the chick ran into a gas station and somebody was wearing a UNI shirt. No idea what they were in though.

I was at Mount Elbert in the Leadville area and had 13 UNI grads talk to me one day(I was wearing a UNI pullover). It was crazy

(cool story bro)

I was at Bahai Principe Sian Kaan resort near Tulum, Mexico a couple weeks ago and the first day there ran into another dude wearing a UNI shirt (I was also wearing one).

I feel the same at time in DSM. Sad when I see UNI grads I know wearing Hawgeye or Cyclone gear but never UNI.
