Tough day for EIU hoops hopes

[jcyclonee]

It’s a twitter meme going around where you post something that’s very obviously not something and then say you’re going to tell your kids it’s that thing.

That's informative. However, you are sort of, kind of justifying a dumb tweet by Iowa Basketball.

How DARE you!

No. That’s the point of a joke.

That said, this was a really lame attempt at it.

How DARE you!

You caught yourself pretty quickly. Nice job.

If North Florida had any big man with size, that game would've been a dog fight to the end. North Florida just didn't have the size to compete.

Lol he predicted him to average 10 and 5!

"12 and 6 seems more realistic if JBo is out"

I have nothing against people with beards, but Jorbo looks extra specially douchey with his.

Can't wait for the Christmas album!

Good God!! Cubic zirconia earring and both ears pierced? Guy is a shoe in to win any ugly contest around!!

Looked like he had 3 different colors in it last night.

If you hadn't mentioned it, I wouldn't have even noticed the earrings. I just can't take my eyes off of those caterpillars. So amazing.

Think about how many points Garza could have had if they would have called all the fouls Jess Settles wanted called. Every replay he'd say "and might have gotten fouled"

That is because his own teammates were giving him crap about coloring it for the media day so he is trying to hide coloring it by putting random colors in it.

"12 and 6 seems more realistic if JBo is out"

Lol he couldn't even go that at a mid major. Seriously does Iowa have anyone cover for them that isn't a huge homer?

 

[cycloner29]

I saw Channel 13 interview him post game and was like "good god, you one ugly mother#ucker! Must be a "brow-(J)-bo" thing.

Settles and Mike Hall has to be the worst commentator duo possible, I'm not sure how Hall has stuck around after his reality show 15 minutes of fame. I know I shouldn't pick on Jess, he was well in to his 30's during his playing days so he's got to be like 70 now, he's doin alright for someone his age.

By the looks of those caterpillars, its going to be a long, cold winter.

I'm a glass half full type of guy.

There are actually 4 types:

Optimist - Glass half full
Pessimist - Glass half empty
Victim - Who has been drinking out of my glass?
6 Sigma - You have twice as much infrastructure you need for the job at hand.

That was definitely a crazy stat. If you look at the season averages this year: ISU averages 13 FTA vs Opponent's 6 FTA per game. Iowa? 22 to (just under) 9 per game. If you take out that Southern Miss "outlier," Iowa State had 44 total FTA vs 41 for its opponents (basically a wash).
Again, kudos for Iowa in utilizing the "getting to the FT line" strategy to enhance its offense. I think that is part of Iowa's large number of FT attempts. But, I also get annoyed by Fran or any Hawkeye fan when they complain about NOT getting the calls, or griping about the opponent shooting more FTs than them. Sometimes it is poor officiating, sometimes the strategy of "selling the foul" does NOT work, and is NOT due to the officials being a bunch of cheatin' M*****f******. (BTW, this is NOT implying that you are in that camp).

This. This is also why I thought it was hilarious to watch Aaron White play. His only skill was hurling his huge pale gangly gingery body at the defense hoping to draw a foul. When he needed to actually make a basketball play Iowa was SOL.

I wonder if the Farmer's Almanac could use those suckers to predict the severity of the upcoming winter.

I really hope Jess Settles played forever jokes never go away. Kind of like dirty limericks.
