WE know that but...Not sure you understand how they view Iowa. I could have said hayseed, point is they view Iowa as a rural backwater. I should have stated that betterFarm kid?I assume you're leaning into the stereotype of the haters. Clark is a suburban private school student from a fairly well off family. Not sure she's ever even stepped foot on a farm.

I tried to point out how she is viewed by the haters. If you haven't traveled much not sure you understand how the country views anyone from Iowa. Half of them confuse us as being Utah.
Yes that was the ******* point. We are all hayseeds. Sorry that was lost on folks. I should have made it MORE clear.
Remember farmers.com Stanford students pranked is w years ago?
Half the country doesn't know the difference between Iowa and Utah.. or Missouri
So does stupid apparently
I don't remember the prank, but I'm afraid that is correct. Many view us that way, stereotypically. I believe that once the men's program under Ben gets to a Final Four or higher, we shall continue to be looked at in this light. And, in no way am I diminishing what the men have accomplished getting to the Elite Eight. That was huuuuuge! The bigger market schools (The dirty rats) will see us that way until we whip the dogs--t out of them!
I remember getting a FREE copy at the door of the hotel I would stay at each morning. Definitely would never pay for it.
People have lost their damn minds when it comes to CC. Just sad that things have gone this far, just because she's a really good player that captured the imagination of the country while at Iowa.
The press and society as a whole have a history of building you up only to tear you down.
Great comments and advice from President Obama too.
Then there shouldn't be any need for officiating conspiracy talk
I totally understand that's the view of non mid westerners. Even just moving one state south to Missouri, you get some of that crap, and Missouri isn't really much different then Iowa. Its crazy.....

It doesn't help when EVERY lead in to games on national broadcasts is them showing corn fields, (even in the winter).......
That had to be KILLING some of the other players in that picture. Nice photo op for the ex POTUS....
She's a nut case just like the majority of the media
WNBA players, leadership and writers citing anonymous online comments as a reason for their victimhood is ******** hilarious. I understand a majorty of WNBA players entire identiy and validation is pathetically from online followers but man, I feel absolutely zero sympathy for them when some faceless idiot makes a comment they could easily just have not read. So funny. Zero pity. These women are all ******* morons
Certainly many are but not ALL. I don't think Boston would be like that even on another team. I've heard Napheesa Collier speak several times. She's very well spoken and doesn't come across as a victim. Erica Wheeler is another. I'm sure there are others but they are drowned out by the vocal majority.
