Down goes Iowa

[Trice]

After the insane amount of hype this week - without pausing for a second to consider Iowa's tournament history - this one is particularly delicious. Is there any coach that does less with more than Fran?

It was so predicable, I thought they would get by this game but all the people putting them in the final 4 was madness. This team was never making that run, and this coach was not making that run.

Enough said. Hawkeye tears are delicious.

Almost feels exactly how our season went a few years ago

How many days and counting now?

It's been 8,400 days since their last Sweet Sixteen game which was against Uconn on March 18, 1999.

Bohannon came back for another year to go 2-8 for 6 points in 33 minutes in a first round loss to Richmond. Lol

Ya hate to see it.

How are things over on the Hawk rivals board? Chad Lestikow is crying I bet. For real.

 

[dafarmer]

wonder how long we will have to hear how the refs cost them this game?

It started 2 hours ago. The only way they could lose is if the refree’s ###### them.

Blast from the past.

This post made me think of one from 6 years ago when Jordan Bohannon was still a young pup.

Look, who's bringing up the ball.
Black and gold, and not that tall.
Now he's dribbling off his shoe.
As the folks in Carver boo.

Jorbo the spider
Jorbo the spider

Now he shoots it toward the hoop
up it goes in arching loop
Now it comes down. watch it fall
Doesn't touch the rim at all

Jorbo the spider
Jorbo the spider

Floppy, fouly
Floppy, fouly
Floppy, floppy, fouly, fouly
Floppy, floppy, fouly, fouly
Floppy, floppy, fouly, fouly
Floppy, floppy, fouly, fouly

Now he's getting back on D
His man goes by his outstretched knee.
On the sideline, Fran's jaw is clenched.
And very soon he will be benched.

Jorbo the spider
Jorbo the spider

Floppy, fouly
Floppy, fouly
Floppy, floppy, fouly, fouly
Floppy, floppy, fouly, fouly
Floppy, floppy, fouly, fouly
Floppy, floppy, fouly, fouly

His playing time's come to an end
He sits by Dale who's on the mend.
Sitting there he questions why
He didn't go to UNI...

They'll still slobber over Iowa. I'd bet little Fran takes some digs at refs or Richmond or something. Red meat for the Hok fans.

Maybe. But it won’t matter.

Better yet he didn’t get the NCAA record for 3 pts as he was two shy according to the commentators.

Waiting for the trolls to comment on the foul on Murray that wasn’t called.

Zero ah ah ah! Zero Sweet Sixteens

Also you all realize our quality of life in central iowa has improved greatly. The local media has been slobbering over Iowa. I might listen to Keith murphy now.

Local and national talking heads actually thought TOE could win a few in the tourney.

"They have an AA!! They shoot the three!!!! They are an elite scoring team!!!! They're hot!!!! And my favorite--- They have a great coach since they improve as the season goes on!!!!!"

They forgot we beat these darlings by 20.

Did Bobo even bring a suitcase this time?

 

[Althetuna]

Speaking from experience. Having high expectations and losing earlier ruins the entire tourney

 

[BigJCy]

HA! Derek from New Sharon just called into KXNO signing "Itsy bitsy spider". I chuckled.

 

[ISUAlum2002]

Fan called into KXNO, calling for Iowa to replace Fran with Bruce Pearl. ******' lawls.

 

[dafarmer]

Is he mathematically out of years?

AARP year yet.

 

[Mr Janny]

Now this is pure comedy:
