What is the freaking deal here? I might be alone in this, and I 100% agree she is a stud on the court, but good lord, I cant get a couple scrolls down in ANY social media platform without seeing some sort of post from B1G network, NCAA, ESPN, whatever. If it was possible, I would feel a little bad for Iowa's team because no one knows anything about them. They could have a prodigy 13 year old brain surgeon on the team who reanimated Walt Disney's corpse and programmed him to cure cancer, but no one would know because....Caitlin. Cant wait for football season.
OT: B1G and Caitlin Clark

If I want to ***** and moan about having to see Iowa in my feeds all day, ill ***** and moan. I added the little "OT" to appease
the men's side has seen 17 teams come & go from the Dance with nary an elite 8 over the last 2 years
wrestling season is over
other than this girls' basketball team, the only thing the league has to celebrate are the pending media checks

Yeah, I get it. Only game in town. Its just hard for me to stomach much more. I'm sure it will be back to endless Ohio State and Michigan football highlights again before too long.
I am glad you clarified a little bit who the heck she even is. I agree with your sentiment. Lets say from now on, unless the chick banged a dude in the Metrodome bathroom or has a great vodka nickname, lets not have threads on this site about anything Iowa until black Friday weekend. I would rather read sunshine stories about the new waterboy on the team or how great the tunnel walk song is going to be this season. Literally anything else NOT iowa.
Iowa and Caitlin Clark are on every news feed because they are insanely popular. The Elite Eight game drew 2.5 million viewers - as many as all other major sports that day COMBINED! Women's Final Four tickets cost more than the Men's Final Four tickets.
It's so slow right now. The highlight of the week was drafting my fantasy baseball team.

Re: Ticketmaster this morning:
Men's Final Four - Semi-Finals lowest ticket price: $99
Women's Final Four - Semi-Finals lowest ticket price: $323
Any random fan that would pay 300 dollars to watch 2 woman’s BB game is warped or someone with no life.
women's final four location capacity - 20,000
men's final four location capacity - 72,220
the iowa fan left out this context with regards to ticket prices
Uh, yeah. That's because the Women's Final Four is being played in a 20,000 seat basketball arena and the Men's Final Four is in a football stadium that seats more than 72,000 people - some of whom won't be sitting in the same zip code as the court.
I'm not anti-women's athletics, but trying to sell the idea that interest in the women's Final Four is higher based on the lowest available ticket price is some of the most idiotic dipshittery I've read in a long time.
head to head, just a simple "each category" league. I waste too much time already and we don't even put money on it.
Iowa fan also forgot to mention the main reason the ticket price difference is because of the teams playing in the men's final 4.......if you had big name teams it wouldn't be the same price....... UCONN, San Diego St, Florida Atlantic and Miami aren't moving the needle....
well, i'm certainly not an iowa fan by an stretch of the imagination. but i will be curious to see tv ratings between the men's and women's tournament come this weekend.
being k-state, i remember when wbb was great here, the kendra wecker clubs, the gym would be full for the gals, then empty when the men played afterwards.

The men and women don’t play back to back in college this ain’t HS. I don’t believe the woman
Final will outdraw the men’s in TV ratings.
This topic has a stench so foul it brought in the Ksuck douche too.
Carrion to a kill.
Iowa Sucks
KSU Sucks.

k-state always has a couple doubles. k-state actually beat iowa's wbb earlier this year in a double dip matchup.
Again why are you here. Does the KSU board just suck that much? Clowna lot misogyny on this board, it seems. are you boys threatened by women's sports, women generally, or just being tired *** turds today?
can you quote the misogyny?a lot misogyny on this board, it seems. are you boys threatened by women's sports, women generally, or just being tired *** turds today?
please keep in mind you are talking to fans of a school that prides itself on girls volleyball prowess
thanks.
You are saying that woman’s basketball is more popular than mens this weekend and you think yi won the argument. Holy **** pal you have a problem.
Let me make a different sort of rebuttal to the remarkably idiotic notion that the price of the cheapest ticket means the women's Final Four is more popular than the men's version.
If you want to see Garth Brooks at a football stadium, you can probably get in the gate for around $100. If you want to see him at the 2,500-seat Moody Theater in Austin, it will probably run you about $1,000. Same guy, same songs, much smaller venue.
Is that comparison okay, or will it too cause you to whimper?
I mean, look at his name "BetaHusker"
Oh wait, that is not it but it should be.
Look, no woman's game got 2.5 million viewers unless one of the girls on the team had a family of 2.4 million, because they would be forced to watch by their parents.
And Norman Bates thinks it would be weird to pay 150 dollars for a woman's ticket.
did someone write that the price of the cheapest ticket means the women's Final Four is more popular than the men's version?
