The Official Old Chief Wooden Heads vs the Fighting Fran's Game Thread

[Seth53]

I was at that infamous game where Illinois fans clandestinely bought an entire section of tickets @ CHA, remained incognito until Illinois was announced, then shed their outer garments for orange.

(That event and dollar hot dog nights were my highlights attending Lickliter games).

Almost hanging a Benjamin on them today was sweet.

Didn't their "orange out' take place under Alford's watch?

My decrepit memory thinks it was TL since the attendance was so bogus Iowa was just glad a lot of tickets were sold.

But I was there....and was sober

I wouldn't think they'd waste on a trip against a Lick-coached team!

Great win!

I think that it was under licklighter's watch as well. I was supposed to be there but gave my tickets to my son. That was the last year I attended any games

I was at that game as well, but don't recall whether it was Alford or Lick. Does not matter. We are rid of both of them.

I think that game was in 2010 under Lick. About 150 of them showed up, their “Orange Crush”.

He drilled Garza with a vicious shot that wasnt even viewed at the monitor.

Actually it does matter and likely will continue to matter for decades as they effectively destroyed what Iowa had built during half-a-century of hard work before . . .

. . . arrived

Barta was probably in that mob reaching for his pink slip.

The true beginning of the end. Humiliating losses to Wisconsin and Minnesota would soon follow, followed by a quick and quiet exit in the BTT, followed by the inevitable. Iowa basketball had sunk to a level not seen since pre Lute, if then.

Iowa in the second half was still not to 1 and 1 with like 4 minutes left.

It was hammer time the whole game and pissed we only att 16 free throws.

Glad Biting Illini got Underwood, they can keep him.

This is a good, accurate post. Please remember it when a bunch of idiots on this board want Ferentz fired when he goes 5-7 or 4-8

Licks response was something along the lines of “at least they paid to get in”.

But, yeah, Barta was not happy.
