Insider Information Weekly Mailbag 12-04-2019
Presented by…Flex Seal-If it can stop a boat with a screen door from sinking, it can Surly stop the run. Apply liberally to defensive line, set it, and forget it!
@Sigmapolis asked last Wednesday: You guys still think the starting lineup is not going to change after today?
Pants: It depends on Jake. He’s been a disappointment this season so far. If he can’t get back into his groove, I could see Prohm going back to a 4/1 lineup with Solo being the starting big.
GTO: I bet we still see the same starting lineup for the next game, but will start working more of that four guard lineup as the season goes on. Prohm is about as likely to change lineups as he is to go from chapstick to carmex. I would actually like to see Solo and Conditt on the floor together at times and see how that works as opposed to Solo and Jacobson.
@BCClone asked: If you were a pron star what would have been your screen name?
GTO: Let me just start by stating that the most creative male pornstar name I’ve seen is Michael J. Cox. Which one would I be? Probably D*ck Dastardly.
Pants: Isn’t it the name of your first pet and the street you grew up on?Chester East.
@CyArob asks: Side note, why is this the first time I've opened one of these threads?
Pants: Taking applications for guest speakers.
GTO: Mama, life has just begun.
@cmjh10 with his usual obsession: Are we back to ending the football program?
GTO: Burn it down and then, from the ashes, build up a futbol powerhouse. The real football.
Pants: Burn it all down. I mean, we almost lost to Drake and UNI. Total disaster and embarrassment to the university.
@BCClone asks: If you could hang with Bill and Ted for a day and bring back one person to our current time to give a speech, presentation or what have you, who would that person be?
Pants: Probably the easy answer, which is MLK Jr.
GTO: John F Kennedy’s speech about filming the moon landing in a Hollywood Studio because it was easy, not because it was hard. Or something like that.
@BCClone again: Please give us quick run down on the upcoming cyclone swimming and diving team and season?
GTO: They’re going to get wet and and go deep.
Pants: Swimming and diving was actually the first sport I covered when I wrote for the Daily. Women’s swimming and diving, then softball, then I did some feature pieces for football and eventually became a weekly sports columnist alongside Brent Blum, who made me look absolutely awful because he was really, REALLY good at it.
@cmjh10 asks a question which would make @jsb proud: Strictly from a fan experience, which teams did/do you enjoy watching more, Hoiberg or Prohm?
Pants: Hoiberg. Not that I don’t like Prohm or his teams. I just loved the combinations of the style and the personalities we had at the time. I still find myself thinking “Fred would have been so pissed” when I see someone take a jump shot from just inside the three point line (Shayok did that quite a bit last year).
GTO: I think the Hoiberg teams were more exciting. The offense was so explosive that you could never count them out in any games. Also, the lack of defense made for some tight, stressful finishes. Prohm is better at maintaining a lead, but also less likely to make a huge comeback in a game.
