LIVEHOOPYBLOG: WE'LL LEAD AS DUQUESNE

 

Emergency meeting of Parliament!

Parliament, I know this is fucked up, but Oops Pow Surprise can't be king anymore.  Dudes!  HE'S ENCROACHING ON MY DECREES!  Seriously, let's make him Duquesne.  He can be a kick-ass Duquesne...

I clearly don't know how to pronounce Duquesne.

Tonight, Iowa - Duquesne, 8:00 tip at Carver-Hawkeye Arena ("Not Exactly a Formidable Environment" Since 2007!) and live on ESPNU (Like ESPN, only not in HD!)  Winner goes to the semifinals in Kansas City next week.  Well, that is, if the winner is Iowa.  If Duquesne wins, Iowa still goes to the semifinals.  This tournament makes less sense than the BCS.

Comments below, whether they're about this debacle or something else.

Emprical data is worthless

But I, and everyone I would have considered a fan in the first place still watch all the games. I would still go to all the games if I wasn’t in law school with a 2 month old at home.

And we might have the worst team in the last 10 years of the big ten this year.

"Jack Trice Stadium - Easily one of the Top 10 Stadiums in Central Iowa"

by Not Marv Cook on Nov 17, 2009 9:14 PM CST up reply actions  

Not really fairweather...

just intelligent and we know we care. Therefore, when we see a season like this one coming, and we want to avoid the pain, then we find other things to do (watch the game at home, focus more on football or wrestling, take up coin collecting, etc.)

When Iowa is decent-to-good, and we have players we can be proud of (aka Not Pierre Pierce), then Carver is almost always full.

We are a bit more of a quiet fan base, not as loud as places like Duke, Mich St, Kansas. But, they might be a bit more rowdy than we want to be.

Finally, economics is a bit of an issue. The Athletic Department wants $20 to $25 to sit, and $12 to stand. If you are not within 5 miles, you pretty much have to drive. If you are like me, you are driving from 75 minutes away, and the gas adds up. Also, $5 to $15 to park. So, the cheapest you can get by is probably roughly $25 altogether. I still have a job, and I could afford that. Some people don’t.

I've sentenced boys younger than you to the gas chamber. Didn't want to do it. I felt I owed it to them.
