*** Official Eastern Illinois vs #4 IOWA STATE Game(Day) Thread ***

This thread reminds me of last year when we blew a huge lead against Auburn and so many fans were so happy because we only lost by a little bit, teams blow 19-point leads all the time, Auburn's really good, blah blah blah. Loser mentality.
This is one of the dumbest posts I've seen this season. Well done!
 
When your boss steps in to say that no PTO will be given for Friday January 2nd, but those who will be at the office will get a pizza party:

I genuinely think the level of discourse and dialogue is higher on there then it is here, and I do realize that may come off as elitist.

It's not perfect, and there's the occasional display of absurdity there, but I don't think there is the same level of histrionics that is found on the free board, and that we are indeed finding on this very thread.

Attendance was sad today by both the general public and the students. Students drew more to WBB today then MBB.
There were some dandy assists in today's game. Glad for the W and be back in Hilton next Sunday.

Made my post then went back to page 13, lot of people whining about a easy W. Survive and advance. For everybody whining remember it was a mediocre KSU team that came to Hilton and stopped the win streak. We got out with the W and no apparent injuries. Take the W and move on to the next game.

Sunday noon games against bad opponents are so stupid. Fan attendance is always horrible and it's not hard to figure out why. Of course the womens basketball game was better attended. It was at 5 and it was an in state opponent.

You win and TJ has plenty of cause to have their attention this week. Those are both good things

It looked fine on TV, but you cannot see the upper deck because it's too dark. It's a couple weeks before Christmas playing a horrible team, noon start and on a Sunday. You have to be a hard core fan or just bored as hell to go out of the house when it's that cold to see us play an EIU team. Students have already dismissed for Christmas break I believe, so that does not help either. We passed on the women's game, wife did not want to make the walk from the parking lot to the arena, she does not do well at her age getting the cold air in her lungs. So we watched it on TV.
You take the tune up win and move on, complaining about the attendance does not one any good, crowds will be fine when we get into the new year and into conference play.
