very true. I don't think i can survive if the squaks go further than our cyclones this year.
I really can’t deal with Iowa making it farther than isu. Nebraska was what we were. Typical hoiball. Live and die by the three and zero defense
Watching The Titanic would be a way to make the day seem like a month. Barely made it through one time in the theater.
Just got a nice nap in thanks to having to be up at 4:30 this morning. Should be good now to stay up past midnight.
On another note. Climbed over a fence panel this morning feeding calves and stepped on a dirt clod wrong. Would have sprained my ankle like Jefferson but thankfully my Muck boots saved it from rolling over. Think I'll send TJ an email and let him know our guys should really be wearing Muck boots instead of sneakers. Not sure why he hasn't thought of that yet.

Titanic would be way better if they cut off the first 2.5 hours of the movie. Even better, just leave out everything to do with the 2 main characters.
Nebraska’s team defensive efficiency was top 20 this year and second to Michigan with a DRtg of 98.3.
I lived in South Africa for four years. The miners developed the gumboot dance and it is a whole cultural thing.
You've got to be joking! The only good scene in the movie happens in the first 2 hours!
I myself always thought they kind of gave away the ending when that guy said the ship was unsinkable.
Kate Winslet's sweater puppets were worth the price of the movie.
Play our game and we will be fine, have to turn the over, shoot the ball from distance and we will be moving on. Tennessee does not have one area that is a strength over ISU.
That's really not true - they have exactly one area (offensive rebounding) that is a strength over everybody.
Yes, and also need to force mega-turnovers on this very turnover prone team: Turnovers = no FG attempts = no ORebs
Ament is long and talented but is a lightweight. Need to bully him around and hope the refs inhale their whistles.
I’m not going to lie, I probably only watched them a couple times but watching last night they definitely didn’t play defense
One play that Tenn likes to run a lot is a pick-and-roll at the top of the key with one of the guards (usually Gillispe) and one of the two bigs. After the pick, the big only rolls to about the FT line and the other big posts up down low. The guard, if doubled, can dump it to the roller at the FT line, who then either can shoot or drive, if open, or dump it down to the other big who usually has great positioning under the basket. In the games I watched, they got some easy baskets from this.
it's an interesting setup to see how ISU defends the bigs, especially if Jefferson isn't in the game. I would guess that it will involve 4 guys in the paint - and one guarding Gillispe. Basically double the big at the FT line, and then collapse from the wings to the big in the paint. Make the big at the FT pass over a double team to someone on the wing - and then make them make the 3.
It will be an interesting data point for how we are planning on defending their size.

Prediction: Buchanan will hit an open 3 tonight.
