No, this post does not relate to your male chauvinist, sexist pink visitors' locker room but rather to the general state of both the Hawkeye sports program and the Iowa Law School. While the law school is taking steps to cleanse itself of its good ole boy reputation, there are some fighting the waves of change (probably the same jerks who think that pink is a color that signifies women and would therefore intimidate such rugged athletes as the football players of other fine big ten schools like michigan state or ohio state). However, the sports program is clearly on an unstoppable downward spiral. Now I know some crazy hawkeye is gonna say, "but spartacusmaximus, what about Luke Recker and the glory days of Iowa basketball?"-- Not since the days of one Acie Earl have the Hawkeyes come close to putting a decent product on the court. A player like Drew Neitzel could beat the Hawkeyes by himself (albeit not with Ed Hightower calling the game in the state of Iowa). And football...don't even get me started.

Acie Earl and Erek Hansen both had more shots blocked in ONE season than Naymick (Sparty's all-time leader) had in a career.
Football - see scoreboard. Ken O'Keefe dialed in a helluva game and Jake Christensen led the Hawks in a dominating performance over sparty.
Basketball - how many points did the assclowns from East Lansing score the last time they came to Iowa City? 36? Shit, Indiana's football team scored more than that against our football team.
MSU SUCKS ASS.
BTW - for those who don't know, spartacusmaximus is a Michigan football, Michigan State basketball fan. Though this year he is leaning MSU in both sports. He will decide in mid-October.

Dude's from Michigan. He pulls for whichever state school is doing best. I've seen a thousand guys like him. Nebraska football, Kansas basketball, Notre Dame football, Duke basketball, etc.

Look here, I am all green to the bone. Rooting for Michigan in football would be like a Hawkeye fan rooting for Iowa State in football (or maybe they should because last time I checked ISU beats the Hawks every year). As for basketball, let's not take some obscure statistic like blocked shots into account, how about we look at national success (like I don't know maybe just as an example a national title and several final fours in the last ten years). But wait, let's talk about what the Hawkeyes are good at and have won national championships in. First and foremost, wrestling. I won't even make a quip about why guys from Iowa are so good at holding each other on the ground while sweating and wearing tight outfits. Second, men's gymnastics. Well, I suppose that's like being good at men's figure skating, ie. when boys are good at girls' sports, I tend not to give them any credit. Here's a newsflash, I could be the Michael Jordan of the WNBA but just have to much respect to discredit my sex by participating in something as laughable as women's basketball or men's gymnastics. Guys who can do the splits should be participating in the above mentioned sport of wrestling. Finally, that brings me to women's field hockey. Congrats to the Hawks on this one, although do us all a favor and tell your hefty, corn-fed women to have the decency not to wear those little skirts that the whole ten guys in the world who watch field hockey are looking for.

Hmmmm... you seem to have some definite latency issues there. You don't need to convince any of us you're not gay (because we don't care), you just need to continue trying to convince yourself, apparently. Good luck with that.

Hey asshat, great for you. Why don't you come to Iowa City and take Norm Parker back?
If we could get Magic Johnson to go to Flint and such to illegally grease players to come to Iowa, we'd have a bunch of Final Fours in the past 10 years, too, but we have upstanding, non-greasy, non-cheating coaches like Steve Alford who don't buy into the cheat to win mentality.

Upstanding players like Pierre "No, isn't really no until she files charges" Pierce or Mike "It's mine if it ain't bolted down" Henderson and Tyler "Too bad I'm not as good at stealing a basketball as I am at stealing others' shit" Smith. Please, not since Mateen Cleaves' small incident with stealing a 40 ounce beer in 200 has a Sparty been in trouble.

At least our guys are smart enough to know that if they're going to get caught, make it worthwhile.
Not helping, am I?

MSU has a better compliance department than Iowa. When I become the compliance director, the rug under which matters will be swept will be very large and thick, like MSU's. Last I remember, Sparty had a few guys awaiting felony indictments on the travelling squad in football. Didn't help too much though.

I'd give sparty about 15 seconds (maximus) on the mat with one of the Iowa wrestlers* before he:
-Sports a wood & gets mutilated
-Openly cries
-Wonders what genetic lottery he lost, to make him be a MSU fan.
*-or the MSU wrestlers for that matter, as they too have a wrestling team.
While we welcome interlopers, we would prefer that they not be completely ignorant.
Take for example the phrase: "hefty, corn-fed women"...
Now I've been all over Michigan, and Lansing. There are, in fact, hefty, corn-fed women throughout Michigan. (And with the mega corporation ADM's High Fructose Corn Syrup, technically everyone in the US is becoming hefty and corn-fed).
...Back to my point. The big difference is that our hefty, corn-fed women wear a more concealing "black", while yours look more like giant heads of lettuce.
In the end, I can't fault your flailing anger. As I too would be a bit upset that my team could never become the "Michigan" of Michigan.

I will assume that socal got an education at Iowa since he must be mildly retarded to suggest that Michigan State has anything but the hottest women in the big ten (with the exception of possibly Ohio State but that's because anyone from the state of Ohio can go there). The difference is that in Michigan, we send all the hefty, corn-fed looking women to places like Iowa to marry farmers who can satisfy their hefty appetite with all the corn casserole they can eat. Speaking of ignorance, I will point out my dear Socal or should it be SUCKAL, that Michigan State is in East Lansing not Lansing (shows how much you know) and there is a pretty big difference between the two. The difference is equal to the difference between Iowa City and...oh wait, that's right nobody can even name two towns or villages, let alone cities, in the great state of Iowa. And last time I checked, Iowa couldn't hold Michigan's jock strap in their cute little murses (that's man-purses for all the Iowa grads on here).
