    Emotional Hyberbole

    It's fun after a big win or great season (Best....., Most Incredible....) and we wallow in it after a disappointing loss/season (Worst......, Most Painful). Questions I have- Do you really believe what you're typing. Do you feel better/vindicated after a disappointing loss to rip one of the...

    A&M has egg on face.....

    I was wondering if they weren't posturing given no word from SEC up until now. Longhorns are LTAO and Aggies tails are between their legs.

    Pat with a subtle dig at Kirk/Iowa?

    He talked about team health and they're healthier than they've ever been since he's been there. Said during the off season it's sometimes smarter to rest and shut players down some than work them too hard.

    What game(s) are you looking forward to tonight?

    Mine are Wisconsin v Butler and Florida v Fredette (BYU). Wisconsin and Butler are both pretty efficient on offense. For most teams Wisconsin's pace (or lack there of) is frustrating. Butler should not be affected by the pace. Wisconsin leads NCAA (or is that last) in fewest...

    How's your tourney pool run and why (scoring)

    I've always done mine with upset points, as in you get bonus points equal to the difference in seeds. You would also get one point for a first round victory with the points doubling each round. So basically in the first round if you correctly picked a 12 over a 5 you got one point for the 1st...

    Jake Odum - (Indiana State)

    What a nice player. He's similar to Jake Kelly, but with a little more flair to his game. When he's in the game you notice him. Jake Kelly seems like the same player when he was here. Too bad he didn't stay healthy. Indiana State looks like a nice team with a tough matchup.

    Curious- Did Fran really want Larson and Brust?

    I find it interesting that of our 4 '10 recruits that of the two that stayed on board one was an Iowa prep while the other was 'legacy'. The other two seemingly, from the instant of meeting Fran, wanted their release. I find it more than a little coincidental that the two that stayed on...

    Changes I would make to college BB....

    Eliminate 2 FT after 10 fouls or raise the limit to 12 or 13 fouls. More 1 and 1's would be better, especially late in a close game. Eliminate alternating possession. I'm torn on this, but I'm tired of refs using the jump ball as a bailout. They are too quick with the whistle and not letting...

    Jarryd Cole last 10 games......

    He really picked up his production. Double figures scoring in 7 of the 10 and 6 of the last 7 (including last 5) In the prior 19 games he reached double figures only 6 times with two scoreless games. In those last 10 games he's also had ~1/2 of his total assists for the year. It just so...

    Iowa beat #4 MSU in year one of Lick....

    That game didn't get into the 40's for either team. I think we may have had 36, but not sure. That win happened earlier in the season and I hoped it was to portend good things to come, but it didn't. I really do believe this win is different, maybe it's the fact it's the last game.

    Why after nearly every game people want......

    To get rid of or rips one or more players out of- Gatens (he's new this year to abuse, used to be he could do no wrong) May (see Gatens) Marble (soon he way move into Basabe and Cartwright territory) Brommer (favorite whipping boy) Archie (whatever he plays is either too much or not enough)...

    How many were upset/disappointed in ND's reaction and ...

    subsequent explanation of the student's death? I'm guessing quite a few were wanting and expecting more from ND, including a head or two on a platter. I count me in that group that thought ND's public reaction seemed hollow and insincere. Right now I feel a measure of disappointment in...

    Rule they should reinstate for Bowl Games....

    Let RS FR participate in the games. Whole game, part of the game, any and all quarters, just let them play as much as coaches decide. Is there a downside in allowing schools to do this? I would hope that if a player isn't physically ready to play the player is kept out of harms way.

    UNI- Winners of 8 of last 9

    That loss to OUR Iowa Hawkeyes. South Dakota State played Minny tough. Don't know what the conference season holds, but I'm optimistic we'll represent well.

    Why do Bowl packages cost so little?

    I show up at the airport and I know I have a flight. I know the flight will leave on time. I know my flight won't be oversold. I know when the plane lands I'll go from plane/Tarmac/to bus. When I get off the bus I'll walk to my room w/out hassle. I know my room won't be oversold. My...

    I thought ISU lost to Nebraska

    Either that or they celebrate losses. Their fans took the field to congratulate the players. From Rashawn Parker in the DSM Register- "There were a lot of people down there congratulating us, one wasn't. He was saying some pretty bad things, things that disrespected our team and the players."...

    Beneficial results from other games

    AZ v Stan is good for us either way. Stanford is cruising. A&M destroying OK right now. Bama v LSU is good for us either way. LSU won TT is up 7 on Missouri in the 3rd. TCU v Utah is good for us either way. Having one get crushed (Utah) helped a lot. Hate to admit it, but wanted ISU to seal...

    What's your opinion of Stanzi's play?

    I thought this game epitomized what I love about Ricky and some things that leave a little to be desired. First and most importantly the kid knows how to win. I have to admit after close losses to Wisconsin and Arizona I thought Ricky looked lost with the game on the line. This time with the...
