Iowa fans talking smack again

[DancerHall Cat]

I cant seem to get the link on here so maybe someone else can help. Iowa has a new thread on the scout board: "Why UNI is not the best team in the state of Iowa."

The basic argument seems to be "Iowa is better because Iowa is better."

[JayJ79]

ah yes, beating ISU is soooo impressive.
they're only the THIRD team in this state to do it this year

[TheGrowl]

If you read through the thread, however, you'll see that there are several Iowa fans that do indeed say UNI is the best team. I'm guessing whoever started the thread was on a high after the ISU game, and of course now Iowa is back to being the best team in the state. We, however, know the truth...and the truth wears purple.

Most people over there know that UNI is the best team

Some Iowa fans crack me up. When I got back to my room after the game I had a bunch of instant messages from a girl I know who goes to Iowa saying something along the lines of "Id rather have a team that plays with class than win a close game because of the refs and have no sportsmanship while doing it". I didnt even respond to her because it was so rediculous.

[JayJ79]

the refs are always to "blame" for any close games, because there will always be plays that come down to judgement calls somewhere along the line. (and of course, it's ALWAYS the refs fault, can't blame the athletes...).

But I'm confused as to how the team didn't have class or sportsmanship. I never really saw anything on the court to indicate that. They're prolly just upset b/c their team got outplayed, and they got outfanned.

That's funny. Not only does UNI have the best team in the state I think UNI has some of the best sportsmanship. Seeing the UNI vs ISU game in the Dome was a good example.

The thread is getting large over there with the most common themes being

"Iowa lost because UNI has experience"
"Iowa would definitely win later in the year"
"Iowa dominated for 35 minutes of the game"
"UNI cant match Iowa's talent"

[joecooll6]

Yah, she said something about how Grant Stout fell and when someone tried to help him up he refused the help. That was pretty much what she based her entire "sportsmanship" rant on.

[pantherfan4ever]

UNI always has really good sportsmanship.. we can thank our coaches for that.. year in and year out..

It is funny because UNI was always seen as the "little brother" to ISU and Iowa.. where both ISU and Iowa fans cheered for us and our fans were always good about recognizing we werent the best team and were good sports. How quickly that has changed. Now that UNI is having just as good of recruiting classes and has beat Iowa and ISU many times over the last few years, all they do is talk trash. I was always an Iowa fan growing up but I am starting to have more respect for ISU and their fans these days..

You can't expect Iowa fans to have as much class as UNI fans. I'm a bit new to the UNI scene (< 3 years), but, IMO, you won't find classier fans. This shouldn't come as much of a surprise.

It's funny that you posted that info joecool as when I watched a reply of the game a could of days ago I believe I noticed what play that Iowa fan's are calling Grant as "classlass"....

The play was in the second half with about 4-7 mintues (I am just guessing right now) in the second half when we were starting our run. During the action Grant went out of bounds and fell to the floor off the court on the sideline with the Iowa cheerleaders and Hawks Nest. Grant was offered a hand to get up by one of the Iowa cheerleaders and he simply did not take his help/ignored him and got up on his own and went back to the court.

I do not have a copy of the game but I would guess this is the play that makes GS and the Cats a "classless" team.

Scoreboard!

Iowa Message Bds

I hadn't had a chance to go on hawkey nation until this a.m. to see what all the ranting was about, What a great day to look and see how many excuses and B.S. can be stated on three pages and how ugly it got even going into football problems at the u of I. The PANTHERS really stirred the pot and it is about time!!!! I can only imagine if someday the PANTHERS turn it on for 4 quarters in kinnick the hawkey nation will have to be put on suicide watch.

Yes, Iowa MIGHT get better this year. Would they like a rematch?

Of course, we would take it in the McLeod, Squwakeyes. You do remember you had the home court advantage last time, right??
