Look out...Dakich calling the ohio st. michigan game

[Hawkeye101]

My favorite part was when he said "I have a man-crush on Aaron Craft, or that's what people say".

I'll take direct credit for that 'cause it was me.

His logic failed him on that argument. I didn't hear the whole discussion, but to argue OSU was better than Iowa because OSU beat them in IC then fail to mention Iowa won at OSU is ridiculous. I also got the feeling he was downplaying the throttling Michigan took at IC.

I like Dakich but I think part of his schtick is to say things that are bizarre. He even mentioned Iowa fans giving him a hard time for putting OSU ahead of the Hawks. He is toying with the fan base.

I don't really care one way or another about Dakich ... but he explained that his "index" is supposed to convey how teams are playing RIGHT NOW. So, since OSU was coming off road wins at Wisconsin and against us, I can see how he put them ahead of us this week. We had a big win, but they had two -- on the road.

Of course, I'm sure he knows very well that our fanbase will go nuts whenever we feel we're slighted -- so slighting us is an efficient way to draw attention/twitter buzz.

One thing -- he seemed to turn on Craft down the stretch (Craft deserved it -- weird foul and air ball three. whoops).

Everybody knows bashing Iowa is ALWAYS a winning strategy. Iowa fans will freak out and make you trend and everyone else loves making fun of little self-important Iowa. We really are the most ironic fan base in America. In trying to argue that we should be taken seriously, it just becomes more comical and further establishes our irrelevance to everyone else.

I think he needs at least 1 more year of college ball...and a lot of work on his outside shot. I certainly hope he opts for the NBA. Get rid of him before he decides to get serious about basketball.

His stock has definitely slipped the last month or so but I would not mind see both GR3 and Stauskas declaring for the draft. Not sure I care to watch them for another year in the BIG.

He appears to love to irritate people. He gets off on it. I do believe that he knows that many Iowa fans despise him.....

His schtick is awful; I hope people that 'like' him really paid attention to what he was saying last night since it wasn't an Iowa game. When he sticks to the game, he knows his stuff, when he wavers, which is 90% of the time, he is awful.

They didn't let him continue the commentary about Iowa fans, it got cut off. I also didn't understand his commentary how rivalries in the BIG turned into a discussion on KU-KSU. Can someone help me on that because I am still trying to understand the connection. He said when I was playing and coaching it was IU/PU, but now it is MSU/OSU, how did he jump to KU/KSU?

It is easy for a fanbase to despise him when he supports the Gellyman.

Let me clarify; I don't care he supports the Gellyman, I despise that he makes it a point to remind the Iowa fans.
