    Depth Chart

    Here's what jumps out at me. We've got 12 men on offense. We should be really, REALLY good if the referee's aren't too observant. :D

    Nova with the Beatdown

    Maybe we weren't as bad as it appeared.

    Why Gessell?

    'If properly executed' is the operative with ANY sports play I suppose. It bolsters my point in that it's a lot harder to execute a play 'properly' than the casual fan realizes. Were that not the case, teams would be scoring well over 50% of their offensive possessions...and to my knowledge...

    Thoughts on Nova Game

    My thoughts on this game are that I'm gonna sit back, enjoy every second, not go ballistic if we happen to lose, and relish the opportunity to make some waves on the national stage should we win. Just flat looking forward to the game... and let the chips fall where they may. GOOOO HAWKS!!

    Why Gessell?

    And we all know that opposing players never fight over or thru screens and continue to guard a player. I forgot. :rolleyes:

    Fran VS Uthoff

    This is pretty good!! :D

    Why Gessell?

    [/U] This sums it up pretty well imo. This and the fact that every team scout on the planet knows Iowa would LIKE to have Uthoff or Jok take the last shot. Sometimes you just have to give credit to the opposing team for taking those two away at the end of a game. Often it's not as easy as we...

    Everyone referencing the Woody "foul"...

    MAYBE the refs were feeling a bit sheepish about calling Clemmons for the foul at the end of regulation and decided to let the players determine the outcome after that. No opinion on if it was or wasn't, but it didn't seem to affect the shot imo. This reminds me of the old tale about the...

    How fitting the 2 teams in title game Iowa is 4-0 against

    It does make the disappointment a bit harder to swallow. We kicked the ever lovin' crap out of both of them...not only on our floor but on their home courts! Also having a bit of a hard time with Purdue and Wisconsin playing in Des Moines. We had it right there...damn it!

    So What are the expectations of the Iowa Program?

    This seems to be pretty much spot on imo.

    Fran, this must never, EVER happen again

    Oh yeah, I'd like a 3rd shot at 'em too. (Wisky also :mad: )

    Fran, this must never, EVER happen again

    All teams do it. Hopefully we'll have the chance to do the same (or a resemblance of) someplace in a year or two.

    No happy ending for Bo Ryan

    Money & power must be INCREDIBLE! If that's the girl in imported ankle's post. I mean...look at BO. Sorry, but he looks like the Grinch. Who could find that affair worthy if they were under 60??? Bo must be pretty smooth!

    Big Ten Tournament Seeding

    This morning Palm has Iowa at a 6 seed and Purdue at a 4. Anyone else having a problem with that besides me? Either we're too low or Purdue is too high imo. PU's only 4-3 in their last 7 games. Not exactly tearing it up.

    You are assuming Purdue automatically wins their 5 12/13 match up I guess.
