Is Iowa the new texas?
- Thread starter Charlie Marlow
- Start date
Here is the NCAA championship attendance for this past season. Not bad at all. Would love to see what they were if they held it in the south or the west. Midwest loves wrestling due to it mainly being indoors most likely in the winter time.
Over the course of three days and six sessions of wrestling, 111,454 tickets were sold at the Scottrade Center in downtown St. Louis, the third-highest total ever. In the finals, 19,657 fans were on hand, second only to 2015's NCAA tournament, also held in the Scottrade Center.

We are in Wrestling what you think you are in volleyball X 30.Only Iowa fans think this not the rest of the country.
CWS is way more popular than the NCAA Rassling tournament.
Besides you havent done shit in the past 5 years. Quit living in the past bro. Isn't that what you tell husker fans all the time.
And where did I say Women's Volleyball is one of the three Men's major sports..
Follow along and quite making you're own agenda.
How many SEC teams have wrestling
One Missouri
How many ACC teams have wrestling
6
How many teams in the Pac12 have wrestling
One Arizona St.
Big 12 now has only 4 members.
I rest my case Baseball is the third Major Men's sport not Rassling.

If this is true is Iowa wrestling in the black like Women's Volleyball is in Nebraska.
Comparing Iowa to Texas--really,there is no comparison...
Texas...
Iowa...
Texas...
Iowa...
He didn't turn down the dodgers.... he withdrew his name. The dodgers, with the highest payroll in the MLB, were not going to hire someone with no managerial experience and no meaningful accomplishments on their resume. He's right at the level he should be at NU and I hope he sticks around a long time.
Yes, I know the situation. I wasn't trying to imply that they were ready to hire him. My point was that if he was going to pull out of consideration for a major league job, he sure wasn't going to allow himself to be considered for Alabama. Of course this is all not really an issue anyway, because the Iowa poster made it appear that he was suggesting that Alabama was looking at Erstad when he intended to say it was their coach.

Is someone still arguing this with you? Or are you arguing with yourself? I think the poster that said wrestling is a top three sport at Iowa is correct. You are also correct in saying baseball is top three nationally.
I've looked through the thread and don't see what you're implying. I believe he is stating that wrestling is third biggest at Iowa. I don't see him saying wrestling is bigger nationally than baseball. Unless I missed something.
I remember when we were in the Big 12 and when Nebraska won the Big 12 Baseball tournaments the arrogant Longhorns fans said" we use the tournment trophy back home for our door stop it's the regular season trophy we cherish"
That is the difference between texass and Iowa in a nut shell.

UT uses national runner up trophies for door stops in the athletic offices iirc. Saw it on an interview with Augie a few years ago.
That's not a regular season championship is it? Nothing wrong, but a weekend tourney and 2 month season are a little different. Just like when Iowa fans give Iowa State grief for winning B12 Tourney in basketball. Not as illustrious as reg season title in most people's eyes. That is just my opinion.
But at the end of the day I hate arguing baseball this, wrestling that. We know football is what's king here and Iowa owns that of late. Just gotta hope Neb can turn it around vs. them.
I remember that. Dave Van Horn made a big deal about that when we won the regular season title in 2001-that they couldn't accuse us of just having "doorstop trophies" anymore. I agree somewhat with the sentiment-the tournament title is nice, but the regular season title is more of an achievement.
Carver is a great facility not sure what your criteria is to be a good basketball program but I will take our 25 years of NCAA tourney appearances which include 8 Sweet Sixteen appearances, 4 Elite Eight appearances, 3 Final Fours, and 1 National Championship Game appearance any day of the week.
Big Ten baseball goes West. Nebraska with the regular season title and Iowa wins the tournament.
I wonder if the conference gets five teams to regionals this year.

I hope they get 5 times, Iowa is playing well enough to make some noise in the tourney if they get in.
Only main difference (football wise) is Texas is usually full of 4 and 5 star talent and Iowa has a ton of 3 star guys with a sprinlke of 4 and 2 star guys. Id hate to see Iowa with Texas's star level talent. Hate to say it, Iowa would be beasts. I still dont get how Texas isnt in the runner yearly and at the same level as Bama and Clemson.
Ah yes, another Iowa fan spouting Debby. The creative writing curriculum at your institution could probably use a substantial boost in funding.
The whole history doesn't matter, live in the present mantra by hawk fan has zero logic to the rest of CFB. Entering the B1G in 2011 husker fan looked back at 35 years of history against the hawks and noticed the hawks had won 1 out of 6 against the huskers in football.
2011 - husker win now iowa is 1-7
2012 - husker win now iowa is 1-8
2013 - Iowa win now iowa is 2-9, against 3rd string walkon husker qb; my opinion about iowa did not change
2014- husker win now iowa is 2-10
2015 - Iowa win now iowa is 3-11, for one of the better iowa teams ever the huskers were statistically better except at QB. My opinion about iowa did not change.
2016 - Iowa beat down of huskers now iowa is 4-12, this is the first time my opinion about iowa wavered.
Until the 2016 there was absolutely no reason for husker fan to give Iowa football and fans a second thought , I think most of us respect the iowa team and how they play, but the majority of their fans i've come across are annoying at best. Why most of them feel they and their team are owed so much credit is beyond me.
Obviously moving forward the huskers need to show up against iowa in football and never let the 2016 result happen again, but I fully expect the huskers to continue to win at least 2/3 of the iowa v husker games in football.

I think the undefeated regular season team in 15' that had to win in Lincoln to cap it was a turning point of hate towards Iowa. Iowa fans understand that they dont have the history of Nebraska football but think that year/game cemented the fact that Iowa isnt going to be an easy game for Nebraska going forward. At the very least they will be a nuisance.
Hmm. I've always thought a 60-40 split is what should be expected in the husker's favor...I guess that isn't much different than 2 out of 3. History and tradition mean something in college sports. One is fantastic in this area, the other pretty darn strong and respectable.
However, the 'talking point' in reference to the 2015 game is weak, shallow, and ill-informed for anyone that understands the game..unless it is for banter and antagonizing purposes.
If one really takes the blinders off, the 2015 game went like this....one team proved early on that running against them wouldn't happen with any degree of threat, while the other realizes they cant run despite trying a bit. Making things worse, one team gets pressure on the QB rushing 4, the same front 4 that can't be run on, while the other has a QB chased and harassed all day. Thus, one team drops 7 in zone on the majority of passing downs, on a cold windy day, basically saying 'here kittty, kitty'...the other walks into the trap, takes 70-80 plays from scrimmage, had the ball once with a chance to take the lead in the second half(opening drive-3 and out). They proceed to throw the ball around between the 25s(unable to connect on many as there was NO ONE open)....Meanwhile the other runs less than 50 plays, hardly attempt passes, and has TD drives of 1, 2, and what, 4 plays. But, but, we out stat'd them and they were lucky...get real. The Ferentz we all like to poke fun of had that game won with scheme and personnel before kick off even occurred...and had his team in position to play low risk keep away for the last 25 minutes of the game.
There was little comparison between the teams in 2015....we should really stop...unless the objective is to get under Hawkeye trolls skin.
The Ferentz you like to poke fun of could easily have lost that game. The Armstrong you like to poke fun of won the game for you before kickoff occurred.
That's the truth no matter how else you want to put it. No sugarcoating, just reality. You won because our guy gifted it for you.

The score was 28-20, an eight point win shows the teams were comparable. Nebraska competed well with one of the better hawk teams in iowa history and TA definitely made some huge unforced errors while CJB played a very sound game. My point remains that the 2016 game was the first time that I was truly impressed with the iowa game against the huskers. IMO the huskers win more like a 70/30 split, but I choose 2/3 based on the history against KF.
'Our guy' was my guy. The apologists just can't see that one team wasn't stressed in the game, and one was desperate trying to stay in it...can't run against a 4 man front, in inclement weather, played right into their hands. Open eyes and mind people
And Iowa fan can't see that one guy was gifting turnovers, even on the goal line, and even with all of that, the huskers were one score away. How hard is it to see that?
So when we get turnovers, stifle the run, are never threatened to trail in a second half, is because of something we did, or something the opponent couldn't do?
Sure hawk D was decent, but several of the mistakes TA made were unforced, TA threw it to an Iowa player who caught the ball and walked into the end zone. The point remains that one of the better teams in hawk history was not that much better then one of the worse teams in nebs history. IMO, Hawks first quality win in the series since KF has been coach was 2016, both offenses were not playing great going into that game and Iowa found a way to score 40, kuddos. Unless that type of game becomes the norm, my feelings about the series and the hawks in general remain unchanged.
