Why are you ripping him? He certainly has more firsthand knowledge than I do, and I appreciate his perspective.

Is this guy for real? I apologized. Accept it and move on.

I didn't mean to start an argument for argument's sake. I felt that the tone of your initial post, wherein you repeatedly referred to our team in the past tense, indicated that you had written this season off. I simply felt that was a silly thing to do with regard to a team that is going to...

I answered your question twice. I'm done.

No, I don't. I already answered that question (you struggle with literal statements). But if we go to the Elite 8 and they lose in the second round I will prefer our season to theirs. This is getting circular and immature. Sorry you don't like me boat. Go hawks.

No, it's easy. If you wanted to phrase this in the present progressive tense, you'd have written: "...and their season is going the way most here would have hoped Iowa's would be." As written, you could be referring to any completed Iowa season ever. ...and I love how you are actually...

You understand that the above quote LITERALLY REFERS TO IOWA'S SEASON IN THE PAST TENSE?!?!

I think you need to read your op again. You a) don't point out that the season isn't over, and b) repeatedly refer to this Iowa team in the past tense indicating....you guessed it, the season IS over.

I don't recall telling other people to be optimistic. I'm more of a "make fun of them because they aren't" type of guy.

You can't have it both ways, 1hawkeye1. You call me out for being an optimist when we're down - I'll call you out for being a cynic when we're back up. That's the way it works.

Also - and I hate to belabor the point but hey, that's what I do - Tom Davis at Iowa 2.0 was one of the unluckiest runs for program that I can remember. If Street had lived we would have been title contenders in 1993. If Settles's back had held up, we would have made a run in 1997. Either of...

Funny.

I hear this a lot - that Mr. Davis had essentially BJ, Marble and Horton and then...10 years of mediocrity. The truth is that in Davis' final ten years we went to six NCAA tournaments, finished in the top 5 of the conference seven times, in the top-3 three times and had an above .500 tournament...

No. My point is that there is a lot of basketball yet to be played. Let's not rush any obituaries here.

I'm perfectly calm, dude. Calmer than you are.
