Repeating but I want Lunardi's or Mel Kiper's job.

Just speculate and spew out a bunch of crap and if you're wrong you still have a job.
Lunardi literally gets paid over $2 million a year to do Bracketology and make an occasional appearance on TV to discuss his picks. Its got to be the best job ever.

Easily. All he has to do is be loud and make sure he adds dramatic effect.

Maybe they shouldn’t have blown a lead to Texas and lost to uni.

I mean if your standards are the same, the mind numbing losses to teams they were better than should have dialed up your basketball brilliance
It’s funny that you accuse posters for having agendas non stop, but I see yours posted 100x a day. Find some new material.

You got me, my agenda is supporting the coach and the team. You should try it.

You know it’s funny how all of this was acceptable before we had a coach you decided you didn’t like.

Your posts are the same nauseum over and over. Plus I’ve defended our players quite often on here this year. You can’t seem to support Prohm without ripping on past Cyclone teams/players. You seem to have a deep liking for Coach Prohm more than anything else which I just find kinda odd and creepy.

I know we're 0-4 against Baylor and TCU but three of those losses we looked like the vastly more talented team that simply didn't care if we tracked down a loose ball in a close game.

TCU @HILTON we got curb stomped but the other 3 were coin flips with ISU giving a really laughable effort.

I love our B12T path to be honest, even when KSU was more healthy we played them close and killed them.

We shot 2-20 in one of them and lost by 4.

No doubt. Moving a single seed is huge when you’re in that 7 range. ****, I’d wish we could have watched that Royce team play a 2 seed in the second round (or just anyone other than that UK team).
I thought we had them until the KU curse caught UK and went automatic from 3 point range in the last 13 minutes.

You’re understanding of basketball is very much in line with your understanding of the rest of the world.

What was acceptable is not anymore?

Fred left, and was trying to leave the three years prior. The idea of trying to defend his legacy because of some ridiculous made up notion, is wrong.

I like prohm because he is the coach of my favorite team. When that is no longer the case I will not care. You and the rest of the groupthink seem to personally dislike him which is even more ridiculous. He’s the coach of what you say is your favorite team. To hope he fails so you can come here and feel like you belong, is pretty pathetically ridiculous

Oh and your reading comprehension is on par with the rest of your knowledge. Name one player that I have “ripped on?”

I hope Prohm succeeds. Coaching stability is extremely important for the long term. If he fails that would mean we start over like we did with McDermott. I really don’t get why you think everyone is cheering for him to fail or why you have to post the same thing about it daily. You really have some serious insecurity, anger, and depression issues that I hope you are getting taken care of.

He kind of just contradicts himself lol. I think most here are smart enough to understand winning the B12 tourney won't boost you 4 seedlines. I'd consider a 7 to a 5 a significant bump though.

It's been said countless times, but Lunardi is nowhere near as good at this Bracketology thing as ESPN likes to claim. Yes, he's fairly accurate about who gets into the tournament (ESPN's big selling point on the guy), but anybody that even pays just a little bit of attention during the season and uses nearly any ranking analysis will get most of the teams right. What Lunardi is particularly bad at is accurately seeding teams in his brackets, especially once he gets outside of his top two seed lines, because he uses flawed ESPN metrics and lets ESPN biases think for him.

Maybe you should be the one looking into getting help. Your lack of self awareness, and your pathological dishonesty, is staggering.

There are people who could help you. First step is reaching out.
