Yeah, that's definitely what I said. You still mad about that fee that made it so you couldn't buy your Vespa?

I think it would be more like "Confessions of ISU Geezers Who Can Barely Remember College" in the off seasons.
This Poll just re-iterates that there is no love for getting screwed by referees....Kansas cultivates a culture of referee favoritism and it benefits. Does anyone voting in this remember the games they stole in regular season with "subjective" calls? Butthurt? maybe. But you are butt-stupid if you keep up the mantra that "Oh well, the calls go both ways" or " Aw shucks, we'll get a break next time" or "referees are really trying to call a fair game and are professional above suspicion or even infallibility".
You think McDonalds (future employee) All Americans ask coach Self about their record and ranking not being truly reflective of the fact that referees handed them two games last year?
Long forgotten until the next time we get screwed by referees...........or you can get made and make the consequences for losing a game--and that is what they did--similarly painful to the referees who have that whistle and in a split second decide which call in the last few seconds will be least damaging to their career.

Hey, I'm a Geezer and my butt hurts something fierce! Wish I hadn't eaten all those jalapenos.
And you know what they say, If you can clearly remember your college years, you didn't do it right.
any poll that weighs heavily on tournament results is bogus. It's freaking tournament, the best teams do not always advance. The proof a a good team that deserves high rankings are ones that can win consistently over a 2 month period in conference play. This means playing teams that know you well, know your personnel, know your weakness yet you are still able to beat them. This mean winning on the road in hostile environments. Ranking teams on how they advance in a tournament is somewhat ignorant. I do understand that some teams get hot and are actually better teams at the end of the year, but a teams body of work throughout the season should have a lot of merit as well. I mean, obviously Louisville and Michigan are great teams, but not because the went to the finals, that is part of it, but because they won big games all year, they did it consistently.
Think about this. What if Iowa State had beaten OSU? I bet they would have showed up way higher in this freaking poll. ISU didn't, but ISU is still the same team. So you are going to tell me that Iowa State drops back in this poll because they didn't advance to the sweet 16, and the team that beat them needed a home court, a key injury to one of ISU best players, and then bad calls to help pull it out means now all of the sudden ISU is not worthy of being ranked higher? Anyone with eyeballs could see ISU was a top 25 team at the end of the year. ISU's body of work was pretty good. They got blown out just once and lost 5 games on one possession.

"Aggressing" one's own fan base is so much fun . . . so sophisticated . . . .but then again, we can't gauge the mentality or maturity of posters can we? :yes: Love your grade school language too!

You are so correct! Also, mark this one down . . . the pattern of disrespect will continue. The local media has already focused its attention on its basketball darling . . Iowa. KXNO/WHO will be pimping Iowa incessantly. Not to mention, we have our own CF fan base chiding that we are too sensitive about "lack of respect." True Clone fans know we will rebound quickly and pull a lot of "surprises" this next year . . . respect or no respect . . . ISU will keep moving forward.
