Tough day for EIU hoops hopes

[Remo Gaggi]

My favorite Steven Segal movie Under Siege was the name of it. Erika Eleniak was her name. Tommy Lee Jones and Gary Busey also starred as in it. Blood, guts, explosions and a lot of firearms!

Still have the VCR tape of it,

when she popped out of the cake. Nice.

And plenty of wildeyed Gary Busey going crazy. What an actor.

Busey was his crazy best in that one. Probably because it was close to form.

Wasn't he also in the original Lethal Weapon movie as a hitman?

PER ratings to ponder this year...

Entire season:
Keegan Murray - 41.8 (insane # there)
Kris Murray - 30.7 (insane # for a 'bench' player)
Pat McCaffe - 18.1

Conference play only:
Keegan Murray - 36.7 (still absurdly efficient on offense)
Kris Murray - 29.4 (insane # for a 'bench' player)
Pat McCaffe - 13.9

Big Ten minutes:

Kris/McCaffe
11/32 (this weekend's breakdown which made me double take and look all of this up)
29/20
21/26
10/22
17/24
17/24
total: 105/148

ISU's best bench player PER in conference is Jaz at 13.7...although this metric really doesn't say much about defense, just shows how absurdly odd it is to have a player who is that efficient on offense riding pine for a middling team, and it's not like Pat McC is some defensive stopper. Keegan should have played a lot more last year and Kris should obviously be playing more this year.

And in Fran's mind it went like this:


I think your question was,

Should cheatin mfers be looked at?

And the answer is very definitely they should be.

I'm sorry but I was under the impression that the only thing you can do is play the schedule in front of you...

I’d love to have that schedule lol. From Dec. 10 - January 26 they’ve played one single Quad 1 team, that being Wisconsin.

Yeah, every male that watched that movie were enamored with her . . . . accent.

She had an accent???

That’s also the impression I was under. But if they get more weekend games will they lose the knitting demographic?

 

[jcyclonee]

So this explains their poor attendance.

 

[CascadeClone]

So this explains their poor attendance.

My thought was maybe they did this to max overall attendance for the league. Give the low enders as few weekend games as possible.

That said, it does blow - 3 weekends and 7 weeknights?. If it was ISU in that spot, I'd be sizzled about it..

If the first part is true, then Iowa and its fans have nobody to blame but themselves.

I feel like that happened to Iowa State a few years ago.

Yeah it sucks. Back in like the 19/20 season we only had like 4 conference home conference games but I don't remember it being a huge taking point.

 

[cycloner29]

Hmmm…. You don’t hear KKIrk complaining about not playing tOSU or Michigan on a regular basis. Why aren’t hawk fans complaining about that. I forgot Iowa has no say in that. How would this be any different.

What a difference a year makes. Didn’t here anyone complaining about scheduling last year. I guess Franny is trying to blame someone else for Iowa’s lack of talent this year.

I didn't realize that he was married to Kelly LeBrock. For some reason, I also thought that she starred in My Tutor but that was Caren Kaye. I guess my mind isn't pasting things together all that well since "the incident". Anyway, Caren Kaye also starred in 6 episodes of The Love Boat and was in a Happy Days spin-off that wasn't Luverne & Shirley or Joanie Loves Chachi.

I also initially read the one Under Siege post as Tommy Lee. He was a very prominent character in films in the 80's and 90's.


The incident is that I am over 50 and don't have a brain that functions very well.

Exactly where and what are you watching that has Tommy lee as a promenade movie individual?

 

[BCClone]

when she popped out of the cake. Nice.

That was Erica not Kelly.

 

[Rural]

So this explains their poor attendance.

I believe the answer to the scheduling question is no one gives a **** about Iowa and Northwestern.

 

[BCClone]

If Fran acted like a normal individual the Big Ten probably wouldn’t be embarrassed of him and schedule them for the weekends

 

[BillBrasky4Cy]

I believe the answer to the scheduling question is no one gives a **** about Iowa and Northwestern.

They can't have it both ways. Iowa gets every team in the bottom half of the league twice except NW and as it stands right now the only team in the top half of the league they play twice is Illinois. You literally can't draw up an easier B1G schedule.

They do get Purdue twice as well. But yeah not having to play Wisconsin and Michigan State twice is dumb.
