Del Orso is a *****.

I just did…a 10 mg.

30 here.

Jesus. You guys take it so personal. Why can’t they be happy too. They’ve had to talk professionally about ISU sweet 16s half a dozen times. Iowa has never gone in their entire careers.

Respectfully, not sure I've seen much of this.

 

[Hoggins]

WTF is Arizona doing?

Apparently they never faced a press all year because they are terrible at press break

They can be happy. I just dont want to listen to their ********. And they take unprovoked shots at ISU all the time. So go clutch your pearls and talk to them elsewhere.

 

[Sigmapolis]

Either Iowa or Nebraska will be in the Elite Eight.

I wanna vomit.

I mean… they haven’t talked glowingly about it, but they have had to cover it like a fat ugly bridesmaid thirsting for some D and a ring.

 

[CycloneVet]

This is a ******* nightmare. We make the Sweet 16, without our best all around player...and Nebraska as well as Iowa (after beating a #1 seed) make the Sweet 16 as well AND they play each other? The tri-state area will lose their minds for the next 4-5 days (struggling to remember that we made the same Sweet 16)........it just suits being a fan of Iowa State Athletics. You are ALWAYS the underdog and underappreciated....sigh.

You don’t think TJ won’t notice this?

 

[Jacktronic]

I'll be honest, why does anyone give a **** what the local sports radio talks about? Do you think it actually impacts anything in a meaningful way?

 

[FerShizzle]

Then don’t listen. There are so many options for what to listen to. But you may want to avoid all the national shows and talking heads tomorrow too.

Go Huskers!!! Go Hoibergs!!!

Iowa will bother me a lot more than Nebraska will. Granted I'm not around a lot of Nebraska fans and I like Hoiberg.

 

[cycloneworld]

As others said, may need to avoid Iowa Everywhere this week....not sure I can handle Andy and Downs.

When you go to one sweet 16 every 27 years, it will get talked about. Meanwhile, we’ll be playing in our third in 5 years.

 

[NENick]

Yeah Ben McCollum can't coach. He just gets lucky every year with every program he coaches then. Whatever makes you sleep better.

Don't start.

 

[NYCYFan]

Utah State has some real fight in them, great games late last night and today.

 

[GrayerClone]

Back in 1999 Iowa winning bothered me a lot. As I have gotten older now, 45, you realize there is enough bad things in the world outside of sports to care that much. The Hawks played a great game and deserved to win. So be it

 

[ISU_Guy]

Well…****
Arizona in trouble

 

[rosshm16]

Iowa will bother me a lot more than Nebraska will. Granted I'm not around a lot of Nebraska fans and I like Hoiberg.

They've been easy to cheer for in a "I don't really care that much" fashion this year.

 

[demoncore1031]

That's why any true Cyclone fan that was rooting for Iowa tonight... or was happy they won... can just go away and become a Hawkeye for all I care.

Trust me... you'll be regretting this Iowa win next weekend if Iowa goes to the Elite Eight and we don't. Iowa will end up finishing the year better than us.... .... and we'll have to hear it from all the Hawk lovers everywhere all offseason. At work, on the radio, on Iowa Everywhere, etc, etc. "Iowa had the better year!!".

You NEVER cheer for Iowa... or are happy for them when they win.... NEVER!!

66-62

 

[GoSTATE71]

I legit don’t get why people thinking Iowa pulling off an upset is taking away from our run? Going into the tourney every major news outlet was talking Iowa state as a complete final 4 team and then dominating Kentucky without Jefferson today took away any hesitation on ceiling moving forward. Iowa had a nice moment but nobody is going to really care about a Nebraska Iowa matchup next weekend besides those 2 schools.
