Weekly Insider Information Mailbag 11-20-2019
Brought to you by ESPN+. ESPN+, putting CyclonesTV out of its misery since 2019. You can thank us later.
@cyclones500 asks: Since you asked. Each co-host chooses an all-decade team for Iowa State MBB, 2010-11 thru 2018-19. You get 5 starters and 3 off the bench, plus one most-underrated player of the decade, who cannot be included in your top 8.
You do not have to adhere to position. For example, if you want five guards in the starting lineup, go ahead. Want five centers in the top 5? (We didn't have enough significant, pure centers, so that's a bad example)
Pants: Georges at the 5, Royce at the 4, Ejim at the 3, Kane at the 2 and Monte at the 1. Bench: Tyrus McGee, Matt Thomas, Dustin Hogue. Underrated: Nader (can an NBA guy be underrated?)
GTO: Starting 5: Melvin Ejim, Royce White, Georges Niang, Monte Morris, DeAndre Kane. Bench: Matt Thomas, Tyrese Haliburton, Marial Shayok. Underrated: Tyrus McGee. This was very hard, as I really wanted Dustin Hogue or Naz Long in there. Maybe in place of Shayok?.
GTO: Same exact starting five?
Pants: I almost put something else, because that’s almost just the starting lineup of the 2013 team, but it was hard for me to justify any other starters.
@Sigmapolis asks: Which five movies describe your work life the best and why those five?
GTO: Why??? Okay, The Fast and the Furious when doing our usual month-end procedures. Office Space whenever dealing with printer issues. Glengarry Glenn Ross whenever I sell one of my clients on something. The Producers for those times when we overcommit. And finally, Friday for the arrival of our favorite day of the work week.
Pants: Okay. This is way harder than it should be, so I’m just going to pick 5 movies from my DVDs that are in front of me and I’m only doing it based on how the title and/or general premise of the movie describes it..
Pants: I’m going Herman. While I dislike Rhule, I think a large part of my hatred for him is the team he coaches for and the history with that, as well as that he’s been good enough to bring an underserving program to prominence again. So only probably about 40% of my hatred of Rhule is from his actions alone. Herman is just a massive tool and deserves nothing but to fail everywhere he goes.
GTO: Damn, this one is hard. To be clear, I hate both of them. However, I think everyone knows that Herman is a douche. Rhule, on the other hand, I think tries to give this “nice guy” appearance while being a huge ***hole. I think that bothers me more. Winner - Rhule.
@CloniesForLife wants to know: Having seen our bball team play a few games now do you think we make it to the NCAA tourney? If so what seed?
GTO: I think our team could finish around .500 in the conference and make the tournament. I would guess 7-10 seed, but we need everything to go right for us.
Pants: Yes, we’ll make the tournament. Anywhere between an 8-10 seed. We’ll be sweating it more than we have in the past, but we’ll still make it.

- “I Love You, Man”-Because I genuinely love what I do and enjoy going to work (almost) every day.
- “Life of Pi”-Because I work in mathematics.
- “Big Fish”-Because I’m the boss.
- “HappyThankYouMorePlease”-Because again, I really enjoy what I do and am happy to be doing it.
- “Bite Me”-Okay, that one was just for Sig for asking this question.

Black Friday-What are you buying?
I'm waiting to see what Home Depot has for tool chests. I'm looking for something like this or a little bit bigger.
I've done a little bit of research and it's probably going to come down to Husky or Milwaukee. I was surprised by two brands, the first being one by Harbor Freight, which ended up being just as nice as the Husky and Milwaukee. The second was Craftsman, which I expected to be great but seemed like junk.
What's on your list?
