And WVU banks in a 3. You manifested this.

Everything bad that has ever happened to the Cyclones is my fault. The refs calling Seneca out? That was me. All the missed game-winning field goals? Me. The collapse against Michigan State in Auburn Hills? Me. And most of all, all the losses in the last 90 seconds of games? Me. I apologize profusely.

Seed line is plummeting quickly the last 2 or 3 weeks, we need to start stacking some wins fast.

I guess Des Moines is out of play now, they aren't sending a 5 seed for some home cooking.

Meh, the experts always get caught up in the momentum regardless of strength of schedule, so teams that are cruising along against mediocre competition are passing teams that are playing .500 ball against an elite schedule. We just need to finish out strong at home and maybe steal one on the road, and committee will see that with a fresh set of eyes.

I still haven't forgiven you for Loren Meyer's train accident.

Do you ever strive for anything better in life or you are alwasy satisfied with the status quo?
When it's others that are putting in the long hours and hard work, personally I try to respect their effort and do my best to support them in any way I can.

When you grow up and get a significant other, and possibly kids, I'm confident that you'll catch on.

Are you saying our guys are satisfied? lol
Players are never going to be satisfied.

From a fan perspective though I dont see a problem with wanting more. It's been 22 years since we won the Big 12.

I'm not going to complain about Ncaa tourney appearances but it would be nice to actually compete for the title once. We've had some really good teams since then but aren't really close either.

Plummeting? Right now they would likely be a 4 seed. Eve if they end up a 5 seed that is a very good season.

JFC because if I were working my way up the ladder to being a billionaire it would be related to how I feel about the success of a largely overachieving college basketball team.
You squash the lines of reality enough with your meltdowns over something you have no control over and maybe it's time to really step back for a while.

I'm saying ISU will have a hard time getting to 11-7 and that is quite a task.

FWIW, yes I do feel that it's OK to be content with a team I cheer for making the NCAA tourney especially in a rebuild year.

Stop ******* whining.

I ended up settling the civil suit with the railroad for the damage done to the train.

Being angry a team projected in the 8-9-10 range before the season being tied for second in the conference and cruising to the NCAA tournament is, to be blunt, incredibly ******* unreasonable.

I want to win too but goodness me be reasonable. TJ is in his second year. If you keep putting expectations like this on him and the program you're going to end up hating him like you did Prohm.

This is a thread for the computer geeks to talk about nerdy things. If you want to complain yet again this is unacceptable to you, then there are a thousand other threads for exactly that purpose.

Just relax. Last night was frustrating, but I'm looking forward to watching them play live on Saturday. I have a ticket behind the ISU bench for the matchup with OSU -- never sat around there before.

:D

Purdue and Xavier were both projected 6th or 7th in their conferences. I bet their fans are just hoping for a 6 seed at this point?

Purdue has the front runner for player of the year in CBB. No one expected Edey to turn into a 7'4 Shaq.
how do we know Xavier fans wouldn't be happy with a 6 seed. Right now they are like 25th in the NET rankings.
