***OFFICIAL: ISU vs. UNI game(day) thread***

So because I am basically a child and couldn't deal with losing to stupid UNI without the aide of vodka, please tell me who did good and why we won. Who should I love? Who should I hate? And you should probably tell me why I should not take the UNI game so seriously.

And what the hell channel is the Florida State/Duke game on?

Love Hoiberg. Hate Iowa. F UNI. ABC.
 
Thank god we came back in this one. Losing to UNI is unacceptable this year. We just about got blown out by a bad team. We didn't give up and we fought back hard to win this one. Honestly, I can't say that last years team would have even pulled this one close, let alone win it in OT after that lucky bank shot(Sound familiar?). This team is much better then last years at this point for sure.

I love Fred. I hate UNI. Thanks for the ABC note, I swear to go, I went through the channel guide 5 times, but no lie, have been drinking heavily since halftime.

Seriously, I need to get perspective. But I was freaking sure they were going to lose to UNI again. Why does this bother me? I am to the point where I probably need to make an honest assessment of my life.

UNI is the devil. I don't know why but losing to UNI in basketball makes me behave like a child. Hell being behind UNI makes me behave like a child. It kills me.
 
Did anyone else notice that during the run that after UNI had made a basket, we in-bounded the ball to a big (can't remember if it was Ejim or Niang) instead of Kane just to keep pushing. I love it, how many teams in the country are capable of that?
 
Simple..everything. Even Fred is getting out coached.
This I knew even without looking would be one of the most comical threads I have ever read. I just want to thank so many meltdowns for the comic value they gave me tonight. It helps me wind down from a close game.
 
so that's the first game I've actually been able to watch any part of this year.......I hope they figure out how to win when I am watching, cause I'm not spending the season sitting in the bathroom :realmad:

Anyone that is suppose to be a "professional" ESPN writer should NOT use that many BUT(s) in one article let alone describing a transition in how a basketball game progressed. My lord my 3 year old niece could figure out a better way of describing this basketball game then what I just read.

You mean the AP game story?
 
Outside of KU, UNI gets my blood boiling like few other teams. I think it's the way they stall out the clock. Thrilled to get this one. Thought it was a 60/40 type game and figured a loss at half.

Hopefully this starts a trend of just beating the snot out of UNI and Drake, especially if we're done with real road games against them.
For some reason that felt like a real road game to me.

I'll buy you a golden toilet if you don't watch any of the games and Iowa State wins a national title this year.
 
If you get a chance, read this ESPN recap of the game before the editor sees it. It's seems like it was written by a high school newspaper writer rather than someone who writes for ESPN. Read carefully.

Iowa State Cyclones vs. Northern Iowa Panthers - Recap - December 07, 2013 - ESPN

I could have done better, but from a recap standpoint, it was OK. I'll accept a semi-sloppy game summary over a loss to Iowa-Cedar Falls any day.

:smile:

For balance, it did include a notable pre-edit gaffe: "... the Cyclones rallied behind their Ejim..."
