Great Job Cyclones!!

 

[CycloneErik]

Hot, hot take: TJ seems like a good hire.

Hope UNC fans look at Grill’s 3-pt stats before this game so they can feel like ISU fans do after we get torched by a 17% 3-pt shooter.

Too bad we had to suffer thru Prohm.

Are there any “Fire up the Grill” shirts left?

What an awesome win!! I knew this team would play tough as nails this year, and that will do a lot for you.

Also….. thank goodness Grill is back again next year!!!

 

[NWICY]

I'm still smiling , what a game!!

Let's admit one thing. They are not the best team in the country. They have a bunch of players, but they aren't a team yet.

Are you kidding me? They just returned a majority of their team from the national runner up 7 months ago. Get out of here with this "they aren't gelling as a team yet".

ISU Fan: "Iowa State men beat #1 team in the country, ISU women bury MSU, and Iowa football loses! Nothing can bring me down this weekend!"

ISU Football: "Hold my beer!"

I don't get it. Really, I don't. In what way does Iowa, in any context - win or lose - have a goddamn thing with how we feel about our Cyclones?

It's as if our happiness is linked in some way to Iowa's performance on the athletic fields. Linked in some way beyond how we relate to our conference rivals.

When I celebrate outstanding Cyclone victories, I'll be damned if I give one thought to how Iowa did that day. Considering Iowa in that circumstance gives it power over how we feel about ourselves.

Just f--king stop it. Please.

I'm still trying to process what happened the last 4 minutes. Cyclones down 7 points before ripping off a 17-5 run. Somehow, Cyclones' defense force UNC into 4 TOs, 3 fouls, 1-4 on FG attempts. Grill's heroics were amazing, but the extra burst of defensive intensity, after a long and taxing game, really seemed to win the day.

Actually, I think the point in the second half where they got away from us a little bit we were so consumed with fighting/grinding with them that everything else went to hell.

When we got a couple good outcomes in a row the dam broke.

Hot, hot take: TJ seems like a good hire.

How extensive was his process for hiring assistants like Green though?

 

[Jdk]

Cyclones win hawks lose I love it love it love it , ala jimmy zabel

Grill has a great Name Image and Likeness marketing vibe.

 

[cyclonehomer]

Robert Jones improvement from last year is amazing

Agreed. Lord knows I said plenty in the offseason about him, but he's grown a ton. I'd like to see him pick his spots a bit better against a guy like Bacot, but his game is night and day different from last year.

 

[ca4cy]

Assuming Sports Illustrated will say Brockington carried us??

 

[bosco]

UNC fans are such elitist bball snobs us beating them is exponentially more satisfying if you look at it from their point of view stylistically and brand wise it's equivalent to getting beat by the Clampents.

 

[t-noah]

Thanks for heads up. I figured it was 3 straight days.

LOL. You get the night off! See you Saturday at midnight, my friend!

 

[Malone]

Here’s to drawing the smug bastards again in the big dance and evening the all time record up 3-3
