*** Official #3 IOWA STATE vs Iowa Game(Day) Thread ***
- Thread starter CycloneRulzzz
- Start date
I'm not a betting man, but I'd bet my house that this thread was a complete **** show for about an hour and 45 minutes.
Big 10 had or has 10 teams that are either ranked or are receiving votes. It's just deep enough and just above average enough to make the hoks go under .500 in league play. They needed a signature win against us last night in the worst way which makes it even better. I think they just miss the tourney again this year.
If you told me 2 years ago that Otz was building an OFFENSIVE powerhouse I would have slapped you.
That's some magic right there.
The fact that he's tweeting people about this game affirms why he's my fave clone ever.
Is he the greatest coach of all time at adapting to the skillset(s) of his players?
He knew it was a bunch of local kids chucking 3s in a their Super Bowl vs a loaded ISU team.
The problem I have with NCSOS and even how NET uses 4 quads is that we are saying that a win over the #150 team is significantly better than a win win over the #300 team and that's just simply not true. They are both bad teams that anyone in the tournament discussion should handle easily. For NET quads 3 and 4 should be combined and weighted the same.
Reading the Iowa message boards was a nice dose of tears. My thirst has now been quenched.
Yeah, I think we are saying the same thing different ways.
I could get behind that, or maybe way wins the same but penalize quad 4 losses more
Not going to check the whole thread if somebody else posted this:
If this doesn't go down in 4 hours do I call a Dr or Hine's mom?
The only unfortunate thing about last night was we didn't get a Fran blowup. He gives the appearance of a guy that's just punching the clock this year and he's gone after this.On the last foul on CuJo, Fran’s angry gesticulation is timed so perfectly with the fam yelling “BOO!” that it almost seems like Fran is booing
Completely disagree.
Not saying that top teams shouldn't beat them but there is a huge budget and talent difference between a mid-level A10, Valley, MW team (approx 150) and a SWAC or MEAC team (300+). If there wasn't a difference, buy games wouldn't cost drastically different amounts and Power League schools wouldn't be bailing out of MTEs where there are teams from the true mid-major conferences.
Looking at the NET and you were a bubble team that absolutely had to have a win would you rather play Illinois State (147, $4M budget) or Colorado State (149, $6M budget) or would you rather play Florida A&M (301, $1.1M budget) or Western Illinois (307, $990k budget)?
Quads are set appropriately and to the level of competition they provide.
Unsure if TJ is trying to flirt or is incredulous.
TJ really knows how to work the refs. He calmly gets explanations and then calmly discusses concerns. It reflects in his team when they get called with a foul his guy rarely question. When a guy like Sandfort gets called he complains almost every time. Interesting
