PESSIMISTS NEED NOT READ

[okeefe4prez]

Guys, I got a feeling about this squad. That win over Purdue was convincing and they are peaking at the right time. I think we will get jobbed by the officials at Indiana, but aside from that, I don't see this squad losing again until maybe really late March. We will sweep through the BTT (really, who is not beatable in the conference right now on a neutral court?) and then I see us not losing again until probably March 28 or 29 in the Sweet 16 round likely to a slightly more athletic Big East team with marginally better guard play than us.

This team is gonna go on a major run right now. I'd guess we won't lose until April, but I have a feeling the NCAA will do everything in its power to stack the tournament against us as much as possible. I've seen too much NCAA anti-Iowa bias to expect us to get positioned where we need to be to make a deep run.

GO HAWKS

You Got a FEELING?

Dear Lord, this gets old.

Nobody is gonna bite this time, dude. Why do you expend the energy?

I don't get it either. A few years ago he said some clever things.

Agreed.

Huge pessimistic glass 1/2 empty guy here. Even I have to call this thread:

He's still good at football trolling, his basketball stuff is terrible though.

The first time I read it, I actually stopped reading at "win over Purdue was convincing." I agree that every team is beatable on neutral court, but we will have to do some things we haven't done to this point. We are 4-8 away from home, the wins being Western Kentucky by 8, UNI by 7, Penn St by 2 (and one convincing win over Northwestern). I think we're fully capable of that run, but we'll need to win 3 in a row against teams that are much better than those four aforementioned.

 

[hawkfan33]

Well he got one

 

[Seth53]

He does bring regular non-union Coors to our tailgates.

We'll keep him around.

 

[Billso]

I for one am shocked and pleasantly surprised he didn't pick the Evanston Dorks to sweep the BIG tourney.

 

[CHShawk]

Moar troleing!

CAN YA FEEL IT!?

 

[HawkDSM]

Anything can happen on any given Saturday.

You fellas all need to sign up for a little Lindamood-Bell -- perhaps you could get a group discount -- as you clearly have problems with reading comprehension. The thread title clearly states "PESSIMISTS NEED NOT READ". You obviously are pessimists; what part of the title did you not understand?

Now get out!

GO HAWKS!

Poor volhawk50 took the bait. There is a sucker born everyday.

I consider myself pessimistically optimistic.

Id rather be a pessimist than pre-blame a loss on the officials before a game has even happened. You sound like a husker fan.

There. What I said was every team is beatable, but not necessarily beatable by Iowa. I don't know if you read it differently.
