Iowa fan will always shift away from any talk about football. It’s no wonder they have a reputation for being a bunch of whiny babies on the national boards.
I already acknowledged the 90's. I said I'd rather be in Iowa's position with top two sports than dry humping the 90's.
What has Ioway done in Football? 3 Major bowl wins in it’s history..
Iowa hasn’t or never will have the Football sucess of Nebraska.
Looks like total NCAA team titles is tied at 32 for Nebraska and Iowa (I fully trust Wikipedia 
). We are more alike than different, the only thing that separates us is that the Iowa message board fan base is nationally known as the worst fan base ever. It’s science.

You complain about how small we make the seats then imply that we only care about the sellout streak, fan experience be damned. If NU only cared about maintaining the sellout streak, wouldn't we make the seats bigger and not smaller?
Iowa could replace all the seats at Kinnick with recliners and still wouldn't sell out that pathetic high school stadium of yours. Some of us are actually trying to compete with the other big boys when it comes to little things like facilities and coaches. And then, some of us are Iowa.
I never claimed that. Just that Iowa's football has light years the success as Nebrasketball. Iowa's basketball, out of 300 some odd teams, is a top 25 program all time. Nebraska not even top 100.

Comparing the 4 programs, one pair beats the other & the winner does not reside in lincoln.
Nebraska: 7 football NR basketball
Iowa: 25 football 23 basketball
You all lose!
Like I said, I'd rather be Iowa in top two than UN-L.
This will be pinned & seen many times to set the record straight.
Good day, now get back to work!

29-17-3. Congrats on being average in two sports. We know our hoops history and own it.
What’s funny is weeks ago you laughed at the idea of Nebraska landing Hoiberg and said “know your place.”
Whoops. I’m glad Nebraska does not find comfort in mediocrity like Iowa does.

You do realize that the Football only considers being in the AP and how they’ve been ranked since 1936.....which is fine ..
But some other football facts:
Iowa
All Time wins 40th
All Time winning pct 70th
Conference Titles, Tied for 48 with 13 titles.
Nebraska
All time Wins 5th
All time Winning pct 8th
Conference Titles, 46, 2nd behind Oklahoma.
Guy made a sweet 16. Was fired from.the Bulls. I'll wait a few years to pass judgement. Good hire all things considered.
We know all this. Quit regurgitating.
Combined sports, one is better than the other.
I take it winning a conference tournament or two doesn’t mean anything to the Herky’s?
Yeah, because he wouldn’t be a good hire at anyplace else right?
If Arkansas goes after Mcaffrey and he jumps ship. Iowa won’t be coming close to hiring a coach like Hoiberg. “Know your place.”
Haha. That's what's great. They didn't think we had a chance of landing Hoiberg, so they tried to laugh off the idea in hopes that the early reports were false. Now the unthinkable actually happened and they're quickly backtracking to make him seem undesirable.
The funny thing is, when we normally talk football only, you guys tell us we're living in the past and try to act like history doesn't matter (aside from the date ranges you carefully select, of course).
Now the subject has changed to basketball and you guys are all history, history, history. Which is it, Iowa troll community?
Show me where we specifically pointed out our success from the 90s in this thread. That response is as tired as the N is for knowledge joke.
That's too many hypotheticals there, bub. Bet they would be in the thick of it with any hot young coach. Prove me wrong, or hypothetical stands.
Funny how Nebraska fans own our poor hoops history and the Iowa fan response to that is “Avoids” the discussion. Just the worst fan base. Iowa fan is quite literally too stupid to insult.
We know about out Basketball history, you don’t need to come over here and thump your chest and telling us so.
And quite putting Iowa football success like they have been a top 25 program in college football history when Ioway only has a .537 winning pct and our Basketball program is at .520.
Congrats on his split decision. He evaluated NBA jobs first, nothing caught his eye. He was on the fence 4 days ago; flip of a coin. Yeah, Iowa fans were right that it may not happen - it was closer than the slam dunkdunk writers and national claimed 10 days ago. Fred said contrary to what was written, I hadn't decided. Nothing in his interview screamed all-in.
5 years, he gone to Phoenix or Dallas.

You like history, thought I'd help. 4 tournaments in past 6 seasons. That any better?
Good gravy, Iowa troll wrong with nearly all predictions and then doubles down with another one. Based on the Iowa troll track record, Fred will retire as a 70 year old b-ball coach at Nebraska.
To paraphrase Fred yesterday, my wife and I wanted our next move to be our last.

Such sour grapes. This hire clearly got under your skin and it shows.
I guess? I really don't care about Iowa. I root for own team, not against others.
I wouldn't trade Fred for Fran......enjoy Fran ( I feel somewhat sorry for you guys as he is a complete jerk....but then again having to read your constant rants doesn't make me feel too sorry ) and we will enjoy our good fortune : )
How? I didnt even bring it up until another 'just you guys wait' poster showed up.
Just being on here, not contributing anything useful to the conversation and going full iowugh fan.
Try to understand, read carefully, left to right, top to bottom and slowly if necessary, most of us respect what Iowa is in athletics, it’s iowa message board fans we cannot stand, you belong to a despicable fan base.
Speaking of hypotheticals......
Yeah, he may be gone in 5 years. And if so, Nebraska basketball is likely still way better off and will be even more so prepared to hire the next great coach.
Chirp chirp chirp, in an Iowa thread, I'll bring to light any topic concerning Iowa athletics. If you don't like it, don't click the thread, or hit ignore. It's real simple.
My god you're full of ****, but I'll play along. Re-read your post, holmes. You used every jilted lover argument in the book.
He wanted an NBA job instead.
********. He could have easily waited another week for more openings.
He "flipped a coin."
Yeah, that sounds like him.
Iowa fans were right that it "may not happen."
Umm, congrats?
Nothing in his interview screamed all-in.
"This is a special place and a second home for us. We hope this is our last stop."
He's leaving in five years for the NBA.
So you hope.
We fully acknowledge the mediocre history of Iowa football and b-ball. We fully acknowledge Nebraska’s blueblood history in football and Nebraska’s poor history in b-ball. There, now you don’t have to regale us with any more of your stories.
I don’t remember Hoiberg going 4-8. Jesus dude, this hire really has ruffled your feathers.
