Best game I've ever been to! (I don't go to a lot of games) I'm expecting big things from this team this winter!
I am late to this, but I don't post while I am watching, and I watched the game on ESPN. For once they had the whole game without stupid interruptions. Can't say enough about Ejim. It was a happy day when he put on an ISU uniform. Besides that, the team looked really outstanding, that was a very good team. It was sure nice to have the game in Hilton.
Just found this on youtube. Check out the about the 9 second mark. A Michigan player pretty much decks a fan. Don't wanna point a finger too early, cause the fan may have been being a tool, but either way, it's crazy...

i think we would have just switched/ alternated with **** the refs then... you arent gonna stop 2500+ determined people when they put their mind to something
Crowds can only be assessed a technical foul if the safety of either team is in danger (throwing stuff on the court or rushing it) I think. They cannot be called for cheering
I don't think they would do that. What's to stop one of our students from throwing on a Michigan shirt and yelling obscenities at the ref? Would they call a technical on Michigan?
Probably the ******* that controls the twitter account said it to try to stop people. No way a ref would actually say that.
Not to damper a great win, but there are 2 annoying observations that I feel the need to comment upon. First, what's up with no giant Niang cut-out this year?
Second, As I feverishly cheered on our team from the balcony, with the rest of the great fans in our section, I found myself sharing the isle with many ISU student athletes in the adjacent section. Almost all of the student athletes passionately cheered on their fellow student athletes, almost all of them, except for the members of the football team. With the exception of the occasional dull golf clap, they all remained seated looking like zombies. It's as if Mr. Brackens syphoned all of their enthusiasm for himself! I know some probably don't see this as a topic of discussion, but come next Saturday when anyone besides Brackens pumps their arms in the air in an attempt to rile the crowd, this will come to my mind.

My baseline comparison for being comfortable is the largest lead I've ever seen lost in the final minute. So long as we have more of a lead than that, my blood pressure is only double that of a normal man.
Didn't want to start a new thread, but had heard this story awhile ago and forgot...but pretty amazing...to survive two plane crashes? Wow... Michigan Wolverines recruit Austin Hatch speaks publicly for first time since second plane crash - ESPN
