Good chance we're well and truly tied with them on Saturday, too.

Never, ever chant overrated and tear down your team's accomplishment. It's just stupid, y'all.

That's one of those things that will always stick with the college kids that are there to enjoy the game for the atmosphere, but really don't follow sports too closely.

In their defense, it sounded like a very small minority with the chant that figured out pretty quickly that it wasn't the time for that one.

The over-rated chant is almost as stupid as our fans flashing ‘horns down’ when we’re beating Tech by 20 Saturday.
I would get a ‘guns down’ flash…but horns down?! What are we doing Cyclone fans? Let ‘em go- we already beat them and they are irrelevant. Completely irrelevant- keep them that way.

There is a time for the over rated chant. This game was not it. This game was two heavyweights throwing right hooks. Over rated chant works when a team beats a bunch of softies and gets ranked, then get destroyed by a real team. This wasn’t it

Dear Houston,

Huggins would be proud. You are allowed to push off, assault our players and all with out fouling. Simply amazing. What I really mean is eat **** and **** Houston. Your town is a ******** and so is your cheater coach.

That was a grown add man basketball game. Shead is a stud. We hung though. The overrated chant by their fans at the end was strange. We are 1-1 against them this year and they are one game up on us. That made no sense
It's fans being fans.

This game early felt like it was going to BYU 2.0, this team has grown a lot.

Felt a bit more like Cincinnati 2.0, just with a much better team on the other side so we could never get over the hump after a rough offensive start that could have been worse if not for our defense both times.

Like Iowa Football vs Penn State. Thought I'd give an example.

Definitely. We have managed to control Cryer, but Shead is just so quick for his size that once he gets you on his hip, you are done. Not many dudes that are both strong enough and quick enough to neutralize him. Maybe Tamin when he's 100%.
Shead is much bulkier than Tamin, and he knows how to use that bulk
