I'm curious, what's Iowa's record when you start the "Official" game thread?

Idk but it better be good. We've got a system in place.

Meathombre starts the home threads.
Anyone besides meathombre starts the away threads

Take a wild guess who didn't start the Wisconsin home game thread?
 
Minnesota money line currently at +155 for all those fans who think this bunch of choking chokesters might let another one get away.
 
Iowa is at an interesting crossroads to it's season. We aren't going to win the Big 10 Title. We are going to make the NCAA Tourney. The big question is where will this team be seeded? Its an interesting situation. A lot of fans seem to be pretty disappointed with the results from this team so far. There have been very high expectations from most posters on this board. If we lose tonight..is it a terrible thing? I would almost prefer a 6 seed over a 4 or 5 seed IMHO. We will most likely have to lose 2 more games to end up a 6 or worse.

It's interesting to see different reactions from our fan base as this season draws to it's grand finale. I don't want to lose ever..I will cheer for us to win out..but most people are really overreacting on this board over the loss to Wisconsin. This team is going to be a very hard out in the tournament on a neutral court and with neutral refs.

In other words. Please chill out! The real season begins in 3 weeks or so. We are dangerous no matter what happens these next few games
 
Thing that really frustrates me is how underrated winning on the road is vs middle of the pack in the B1G. If we win, it will just be considered just another game and win. If we lose then it'll be viewed as a bad loss and a game that we are 95% expected to win. Minnesota is a good team and "The Barn" is a tough venue to play. In my books it would good win vs. a good team. But to the tourney committee/the nation it's just another win or a bad loss.

Thanks Dr Tokalot. Put away the bong.
 
Gotta love the quickness of Gesell and his pretty reliable ability to finish at the rim.
