Yes but it also means Rima and Miller have no credibility. Walters doesn't spit nonsense about other teams ISU doesn't play all the time so people think of him as a grown up and not a punch line.
UNI - Gary Rima
- Thread starter Cyclonesince78
- Start date

Troll on Gary Rima, troll on. Maybe he should help UNI focus on selling tickets to their little gym first.
UNI will likely play 4 teams (3 to date) in the RPI Top 50 for the entire season. ISU has played 10 to date and will play 15 before the conference tournament. I guess its pretty easy when you have to play well and get up for 1 game every 8 compared to one game every 2.

Maybe, but to be fair ISU *could* beat Kentucky on any given night.
In a vacuum UNI may be able to compete with a B12 team here and there, and maybe get some wins on the road but could they do it against a full B12 slate? Have Tuttle get the crap pounded out of him by Spangler, Gathers, Gipson, and Goggles and then try to bounce back and match up against skill sets like Ellis or Nash. Let their guards match up with Staten, Mason, or Foster one day then bounce back and figure out how to keep Hield or Forte from dropping 25 on them.
UNI is flying high and I get that this is a homer drinking the cool aid. That said, an objective person should be able to step back and realize that the venues are tougher, the scouting is more difficult and the talent and physicality are a step above the world they're living in. I just don't think Rima or anybody else that says something like this appreciates the grind of a B12 season. Am I too sensitive to crap like this? Probably, but when you realize that most of these UNI fans that are crawling out of the woodwork are Iowa fans that dug out their pullovers from when they were an undergrad at UNI, you should be able to understand why.
KU has lost 9 times in Phog Allen over the last decade so it makes perfect sense that UNI would win there. I mean, Bill Self has more conference championships than home losses, so like, duh.
As a UNI alum, I love Gary Rima. He's passionate about the University and UNI is fortunate to have him. As a Cyclone fan, I think he's over stepping his bounds, but that is also the business he's in. Rima's trying to get clicks and tweets about UNI which is great.
He's like a little old dog that chewed your pillow.. Pat him on the head and tell him to go to his kennel..

We see how UNI does in the Big12, remember when we hired McDoormat - that is what UNI would look like if they played KU or OU.
To be fair, I never even said John Walters. Two posters put that name in my mouth.
But to show that "the voice" makes bold predictions...well, please read. This was in an interview with CW May 20th, 2013.

Sorry, but I don't see how that's in the same realm as what Rima is saying. He's saying he felt good about the job PR and Wally were doing with player development. The wheels have come off since but at that time being optimistic about our football program wasn't that out of vogue. Did I miss a quote in there somewhere where JW said we would go to Alabama or LSU and win?
Walters is a pro. Rima uses the word Kaboom on a regular basis and is just stirring the pot here. I'm sure his mission of getting some clicks and maybe some airtime on the Iowa radio airwaves has been successful. Good for him.
This thread is like the oldest child throwing a tantrum that his parents are giving the little brother more attention.
UNI is another school in Iowa (surprise) and they are playing good basketball. They are going to make the tourney and represent out state in doing so. Enough of this butthurt wah-wah nonsense. Enjoy OUR team, and let them enjoy theirs.

Dave Z does a great impression, but it was obviously Dave. The only reason I knew it was not Rima is because Heather asked him to do an impression a few weeks ago, and it was very lack luster.
