*** Official #10 Illinois vs #4 IOWA STATE Game(Day) Thread ***

[Kettes]

I hate the late start! As an old guy (who has to work tomorrow), I won't know the outcome until 5am tomorrow when I get up for work. Sucks. Just why? Don't get it.

We're at 10 hours, people!

I get up at 4. I'm staying up.
You can do this!

Forsaking my state of birth today.

Go State, lets make 'em hate playing basketball.

I was born about a mile from Illinois, so just dodged that bullet.

Anyone else hoping to take a nap today?

Game's probably going to tip off at 10:30pm local time for me (I know it's scheduled for 10:09 or whatever but these late games always get pushed back), hoping to get to sleep around 8:00 then wake up and catch the second half.

I love the late start! My kids are in bed around 9, so I can watch it in real time (instead of on delay) in peace!

We average 90 points per game this year against Big 10 defenses.

Who needs sleep

Well you're never gonna get it
(Who needs sleep)
Tell me what's that for
(Who needs sleep)
Be happy with what you're gettin'
There's a guy whose been awake since the second world war
(Who needs sleep)
Well you're never gonna get it
(Who needs sleep)
Tell me what's that for
(Who needs sleep)
Be happy with what you're gettin'
There's a guy whose been awake since the second world war

Love that song and BNL in general

It’s going to feel weird watching on TV and not being in the stands tonight.

You have the whole rest of your life to sleep

Illinois will be crying tonight..... not tears of joy. Iowa State wins by 9

 

[carvers4math]

ISU will win by 9. Andy Katz will cry that another one of his Big 10 teams lost.

BTW, Fuk all of the national pundits out there for doubting ISU.

Was thinking if it wasn’t for him, we wouldn’t have to sync tv to Walters and Heft.

Can’t decide if it will be harder to fall asleep afterwards if we win or lose.

Go Cyclones!

I've followed Brad Underwood's career and feel strongly that if the game is close and comes down to coaching, we've got them dead to rights.

Following Brad Underwood's career sounds even more boring than my hobbies.

Exactly. How far up into Wisconsin do you have to go, to not have suburban Chicago people all around you on vacation? I haven't found out yet.

Having grown up just outside Chicagoland and vacationed often in Wisconsin and the UP...northern Canada, basically.

 

[Cyclones8824]

Big advantage for the Cyclones is we fear no player. I predict a win today!

Took PTO for tomorrow morning for the culture

I don't think it will happen, but can you imagine San Diego State upsetting UCONN ahead of our tipoff? Both ISU and ILL would know UCONN is out of their paths. Would amp things up so much more.
