Me, being a piece of sh*t, waiting for someone to post this. Was not disappointed.

First thing I thought of when he said that.

Is this a trick question? Are you using your mirror ? That is the point….constantly up in arms about sports and your rival is crazy stuff. Sure I’ll accept the label on both our parts !

Now what ?!

No. A simple no would have sufficed.

So, you’re going to ignore Jefferson getting hurt and us still getting to the sweet 16? We were a top 7 team and playing like it in March

He’s just pushing buttons. Responding just boost the ego. No response, idiotic post go away.

You can get into The Elite 8 in Chicago for $88

The Iowa State effect.

Last time I couldn’t unload my ticket and chose to sit through Bill Self cutting down the nets as a lesson on the perils of brownout buying.

So that handle isn’t a Dedric Willoughby reference?

this road to the final four show is terrible. these guys are only tolerable on opening thursday/friday when everyone is jacked and there are other basketball games to filp to. when they have a captive audience like today and yesterday with no other games going on, it sucks.

I've never been to Storrs but it's hard to overstate how remote PSU / State College, PA is, it's absolutely in the middle of nowhere, 2.5 hours to the nearest substantial city.

It’s sad and depressing just watching this Tenn/Mich pregame. I wanted this moment badly for the team and program. I know it was unlikely to make it to the FF without JJ, but feel like we deserved having this Sunday game spotlight against Michigan. **** sucks.

It does suck. I’m torn for this game. Part of me wants a Michigan blowout. Then it’s easier to stomach the “what if”. Part of me wants Tennessee because I think Barnes is a really good coach and I would enjoy seeing a big 10 team lose

You’re gonna get a close game to start that Michigan wins by double digits.

Still have Zona winning the whole thing but Michigan had the easiest path that was made much eaiser with ISU’s injury issues

 

[danvillecyclone]

I’ve listened to my Iowa friends and my Purdue friends crying about getting beat after winning the 1st halves.

Then I tell them, at least you had your full complement of players…..Iowa State went toe to toe with Arizona. We could play with anyone.

Apparently We got so badly abused by Tennessee, they seem to think JJ wouldn’t have made a difference.

I need better friends.

Mara getting 2 fouls this early makes this game much more interesting, always in foul trouble but this is extra early

Sour grapes incoming:

I don’t think Tennessee is that impressive. We would have beat them with J-Jeff.

You would have and they never were

We certainly could have had a bad game and lost with him, but we probably win it 8/10 times.

They're a team that wants to make the game a slog. If Michigan falls into that trap, they have a chance. Still think Michigan wins by double digits.

Go blue today for sure.

The ref who high steps when he runs is doing this game.

GO Tenn. I don't want more Big 10 teams in.

Plus I want easier games for Zona!
