Everyone keeps saying how there's all this buzz around the program...

15,000 people just showed up for a game against Texas Pan American.

12,600 people showed up to watch Michigan play Slippery Rock. They're ranked fifth. In the country.

Buzz, Iowa basketball be thy name.

and for the record I predicted a 6-6 record with losses to ISU, MSU, PSU, NW, Michigan and Nebbie and no bowl game

basketball teams go to bowls?

Our hype isn't anywhere near what people think it is. National media is in love with Aaron White and they're familiar with Marble and Basabe's potential. Throw in the two super-freshmen and they have us in the tourney. Nobody's throwing around reckless predictions like challenging Indiana, MSU, OSU and Michigan for the regular season conference title. We know what we are and so does the media: Young, improving, high-octane team that will likely finish 5th or 6th in the best conference in the country en route to a NCAA Tournament bid. That's the buzz, and since it's November we can finally put it on the floor. Either way, we're no secret.

GO HAWKS

Ummm, our hype isn't anywhere near where YOU think it is. I have not found one person picking Iowa 5th, and probably not many picking them 6th. "In love with Aaron White"?

Everyone in Colorado is talking about him. I get stopped on the street daily. Hell this lady nearly drove me off the road once she saw my iowa sticker. I heard her yelling "**** yeah, white boy". Had to be about him.

Marijuana's a hell of a drug.

So you quoted him and bolded a part that has nothing to do with the quote that you posted. Fantastic.
