You act like ISU has never won a conference championship, an NCAA tourney game, and UNI always beats ISU. If you do believe that, check your history.
***OFFICIAL: ISU @ UNI Post Game thread!***
- Thread starter Mr Janny
- Start date
Hi everyone, new here and hope to start posting regularly when time permits. Anyway, hate to make my first post on such a down note but hey, gotta start somewhere. I'll start with the game:
In all honesty, I haven't seen the Cyclone in action since tonight, and usually don't until about this time, as my work/school schedule does not allow me any time for tickets to games, and the Cyclones never play on TV, but what I saw tonight is what I guess I expected to start the year. I was shocked to find out they were 6-0 and playing really well, so I was excited to see them for the first time, but man we looked terrible. Diante looked like he hadn't changed much, though his first half had me a little excited, and we were just flat all around. I give UNI a lot of credit too, as their defense was probably the first real tough physical defense we played, and Iowa State wasn't sure what to do with it. Hopefully FH will get his guys to learn to play physical more as the year goes on, because we'll be in big trouble if we don't.
The broadcast of the game is what I really had a huge problem with. Holy cow man my eyes were hurting after the game because of the brightness of the camera. Really, is that the best you can do in today's age. I thought the football game was bad, but man this was 1000 times worse. The announcers were horrible too. I had to watch the Mich St. Duke game on ESPN just to restore my faith in TV again...
To the UNI fans holding up the stupid "I have more coaching experience than Hoiberg" sign: Really? for a fan base that claims to be classy, I don't expect to be signs like that ever. And it wasn't just one, because I saw it all over the place. Not only is that classless, but that has to be the dumbest form of trashtalk I've ever heard of since the famous "high school dropout" chant made by Nebraska's fans to Jamaal Tinsley. Newsflash guys, Hoiberg had 6 more game experience prior to this game than you'll ever have in your life, not to mention he was a big-8 star and made it to the NBA. Give me a break.
Though I did harp on those fans, I do want to say that I have respect for UNI's athletics succeed, and I always hope they succeed, heck I even have the UNI Kansas game dvr'd on my DTV and still watch it from time to time. I think the calling out of UNI's style of play though is a bit much on here. It's almost like some of you think it's illegal. The fact is it's not, and with what little UNI has to work with, Jacobsen does a wonderful job getting his team to play the only style of basketball that allows them to succeed. They definitely play harder defense then we do, and maybe that's why they got more calls than us. As boring as the style they play is, it's effictive and it wins ball games. Heck if we could win conference titles and 30 games a year playing ugly basketball than sign me up. Obviously our "legit" play don't give us any postseason play, period.
Anyway, that's my thoughts, hopefully I can become more of a regular so I don't have to write a book every time I post.

Not really a strong arguement on why ISU can't beat UNI. If memory serves, you have a 1 game winning streak against that crappy Div IAA team that statistically(including serveral untimely turnovers) moved up and down the field on your up and coming football team and has been "lucky" enough to win 4 of 6 on the court. Oh yeah, and my dad can beat up your dad
Its more like the ISU fans on here that are acting like this is the first time ISU has lost to UNI, or as if UNI is and has been an "inferior program"...and that winning conference championships dont matter, nor do tourney wins...just sayin.

Re: glad i didn't sip too much kool-aid
You were clear. I just wanted to use the caps lock. I like to work it in once after a loss. Your post was accurate and harmless, so I used that for the opportunity.

Trust me, I have watched and supported ISU basketball for many years, but some people on this board have a difficult time accepting the fact that you don't have to have "NBA Studs" to win basketball games(see above photo). By demeaning the kids and style of play at UNI, it not only makes them come across as sore losers but completely ignorant as well.
I'm going to be hoenst with you guys. The only reason i am really ****** is because i lost about all my credits. I can deal with this loss, but not the loss of my poor credits. Dags....please hook me up.
haha this made me laugh. If anybody loves their credits more than anything, its you. I just keep thinking of that time when your credits mysteriously disappeared for a little while and you had a heart attack over where they went and when you were getting them back. :biglaugh::wink:
Class A contracts = roughly $850/month
Class AA contracts = roughly $1250/month
So basically, not even close to "a few hundred" large.
Most people make more than that in a month. I make more than that and I get paid like crap.
Did Matt P just create a new user name?
IMO, Matt P. hates UNI more than most of the Cyclone fans having their freakish meltdowns tonight do. I remember before last season he was calling UNI completely overrated.

.........and continue to beat big 12 teams when given the opportunty......(sigh)...
BTW, who is that? He looks familiar. I think I saw him at the UNI game last year, but can't place him. Did he play? Boy I hope not, he looks reaaaaaly good! I wish we could get players like him
This made no sense and you wouldnt be on here if the refs werent so homosexual
sorry im drunk
This looked like the 6th real game with an almost entirely new team that is still learning to play together. UNI slowed it down, and I guess it's not terribly surprising that our guys struggled a bit.
Hopefully they can take some lessons from this one.
I don't think UNI is the better team by any means, but they've got a good coach, and knew what they needed to do, and how to do it to give themselves a chance to stay in the game.
We're going to have some of these this year, but I believe the players will learn from each and move on.

Learning Experience..
Despite the refs, you live by the three, and die by the three.
Tonight.. we died by it.

It's not like we should wake up and go "oh no....now we won't go undefeated"! This was our first true road test against a motivated(fired their Greg/beat their Greg) experienced foe......already thin roster and one stayed home.....early foul trouble.......couldn't throw it in the ocean.........and yet we were in it until the end?! Unless CFH turns the rest of the season into some Dr. Phil focus group like our previous coach.......we'll be fine.
THIS.....Plus, I'm pretty encouraged by the fact that absolutely nothing went our way last night and we still managed to make it a game. A loss is never fun....but this one wasn't as terrible as some here believe.
I'm concerned about the lack of a physical presence in the post. JVB is a nice option at the offensive end, shooting 3s and taking the other team's big out of the paint, but he is Charmin soft. ISU looks like a team that will live and die by the jump shot this season. If I had to guess at a win total, I suppose I'd put them at about 16 or 17. Tough to beat at home, but hopeless on the road if they don't bring their jumpers with them.
This game went about as expected
And i don't think that is a bad thing. Maybe a reality check. Shots just were not falling and some of the most bizarre officiating i have seen. The worst was the possession where Kujoa ghytmffdrwe obviously took 4 extra steps and at the same time, for reasons unknown, a Panther grabs the rim and hangs on it.
