1/1/2010 - present, that is. Season started yesterday, we are 1-0. Carry it through tonight.

LET'S GO HAWKS!!!
 




You can make a case that this is the most important Iowa game since the MSU BTT Quarterfinal in March 2005. Hopefully history repeats itself tonight.
 


there's a game tonight? i thot we played on Saturday?

9) No Trolling on the sports forums. If you want to make sport of fooling the masses in the off topic of Pol/Con forum, have at it. On the main sports forums, I'm not interested in it. Doing so will result in the post being deleted and the user only being allowed to post in the OT or Pol/Con forum, if at all.

Bingo.
I've been saying this ad nauseum the past few weeks.

Eerily similar to 05.

Agreed - I was thinking maybe biggest game of past 10 years, but that MSU game specifically made me limit it to the current decade. If Fran wins this one and we get into the tourney, it would be pretty hard not to enshrine the guy in the Hawkeye Hall of Fame.
 


Think Carmendy get canned?

I really don't know. But I think if they can Carmody this year, given all the injuries they had, the timing is odd. I would have thought after last year's collapse, that would been a more logical time to make that decision. Or see how next year goes. But right now, I'd say give him another year.
 


biggest bodyslamming game and Tom Izzo is starting to worry about us

Yeah, kind of similar but we have a lot more young guys on this team. In 2005 it was clear we would have a good 2005-2006 season, but after that it got foggy. You look at the depth and down the bench right now and we have pieces for several more good teams and with Jok and Uthoff coming in, we are set for a long time.

Proles, for the love of God, do NOT run Fran out of town.

Thx,

Hey BTR.....why do people constantly use NW instead of NU to indicate Northwestern University?

I suggest you hold a seminar on the correct way to initial various basketball programs.

Thanks man. See you at Ron's this Fall.

Who is BTR? Anyway people use NW because they are idiots. I've tried to explain this to no avail.

Woah, let's hold up there. We need to have high standards for this. I need to see Fran at least match Alford's Iowa NCAA win totals before I'm willing to begin enshrining him in the HOF. Fran needs at least one NCAA wins in seven years before we should be even having this discussion.

Demonstrated repair of Lick's mess is sufficient to speak Fran's name in the same breath as Alford's, in my opinion. Please try to stay on topic here.
 






He said THIS DECADE, not this century. He is right - it is the biggest game of THIS DECADE.

The problem with OP is that you can never tell when he is serious. I'm assuming that he is serious on this one - and he happens to be correct.
