And don't think for a second that there wouldn't be a couple of nut-jobs around here who would do the same thing to Conner or Patrick. Hope Fran's ready for this.

The bottom half of the B1G being so atrocious is something they were looking at.

I'm no ISU fan but apparently Dakich doesn't pay that close of attention. Didn't ISU do pretty well the few years prior to last year in the NCAAs? Last year, I made the mistake of listening to him when I did my brackets and they sucked. Not this year.

50/50 between a 6 and a 7.

Didn't seem like their coach gave ICW the best chance to win. Didn't seem to change their game plan vs. the zone for instance though I only saw the second half. C.M. didn't stand out to me at all but he's only a JR. and it's the only half I've seen him play. You could find a half that Lebron...

Does your expectations include being in the top 10 at some point during the season, as Iowa has been two out of the last three years? Because that success and the come-back-to-earth fall is what's fueling a lot of the vitriol right now.

I'd even take looking at that mug constantly if we won as much as Bo did.

They are not slow compared to the average Joe. They are slow-footed compared to Yogi, Melo and a lot of other points out there.

[/B] I think too many people think Tyler Cook is going to be our savior. Judging by his highlight reels he still needs to develop some post moves and a 10 foot and in shot. A lot of dunks on the video but there is more development needed. Of course, I admit, I've only seen a few minutes of...

There's a pattern on this website. A crushing loss happens and the chicken-littles come out with the "Fire Fran", "Fire Kirk","our receivers suck" and "Gesell sucks" kind of posts for the first 24 hours after the defeat. Then, there's a voice of reason thread created which gives us a proper...

I'm sure Harbs already has the popcorn, DVDs and his pajamas picked out for the sleepover.

Fran's yelling and demeanor during and after games indicates he is tight about things. He's the leader of the team so it's only logical to assume that the players are emulating his tightness. I like Fran but just once I'd like to see him fall on his sword and tell the press the loss was his...

Yep and the only game in the last 7 or 8 that we covered the three line even decently was the Michigan game. Not coincidentally, we won that game.

I look at it differently than most people I guess. We have only two consistent offensive threats on this team. We have a center who is good on defensive and gets rebounds but is underwhelming as an offensive threat thereby giving us nobody who is good around the basket. We have guards who are...

That this thread has garnered six pages of takes, many in agreement, really makes me think Steve Deace was actually right in that there does exist a Jihadic wing of Hawkeye Nation. HIS SURVIVAL IS ON THE LINE???!! What a joke!

[/B] "disgraceful" and "they have no pride"? Really? They played poorly but to call it a disgrace or that they have no pride is absurd. Disgraceful play is when players quit on their coach or punch players on the other team. And I believe their pride was hurt pretty badly yesterday.

C. Williams may have a higher ceiling that MG but he is not at this moment better than him.

I did my usual self-pity-party for a couple of hours after the loss yesterday but I'm resetting and going to think positively that this team can win at least a game in the NCAAs. We all know the limitations of certain players but I'm rooting for the seniors to go out somewhat on top and they...

I am really looking forward to seeing if these seniors can win a game or two in the tournament next week and truly hope they do. I am also really looking forward to have a fresh start with mostly new players next year.

If this were mid-season I would agree with you. But not going into what might be their last game of the season.
