SIAP: Travis Hines with a great article

[CyBobby]

The fans took over, but that doesn't mean there aren't too many ******** in our fanbase. Hell, everyone in the national media talked about how intense and angry the Iowa State fanbase was. I would hate to see what the fans would have done to the team had they lost to Texas.

Travis is nothing if not fair. If he wrote about fans being a bit too intense and a bit too stupid, then it is fair to say that some of our fans are out of control.

We just need to act like adults.

Just think how outta control those fans will be after another bad football season....lol

UAB did not play lights out to beat us. They shot under 35%. They made three 3pointers as a team, and only made 9 ft's.

They just completely out worked us. You don't give up 19 offensive boards to an inferior opponent by 'giving too much
effort'. The players themselves talked about getting lackadaisical, and how they should've played harder.

The reality is we will not outwork the other team every game. Almost every game? Yes, and we do that. Could our effort have been better? Sure, but it was not unacceptable imo.

Effort is little without good play, and effort does not guarantee good play, not when you are a shot-making dependent team. We miss shots and our effort becomes ineffective, albeit good imo. UAB capitalized on their advantage more than we capitalized on our advantage. If we do not shoot well, Georges in particular, we simply are not that significantly more talented than UAB. Imo if we had a rematch and shot just as poorly, it would be a close game again.

People are using way too much of Naz using lackadaisical. Any loss and this team starts alluding to effort, whether true or not.

You don't get 'good play' without good effort. There is not a coach in the country that would call a game in which their team gave up 19 offensive boards a good effort.

Spin it any way you want, yesterday was not just an 'off day' for us. UAB completely out worked us. You would think it would take a lights out performance from a 19-15 conference usa team to beat us but it didn't..

In CW's "day after" writing he mentioned how this group of cyclones consistently had trouble creating their own energy. In Hines writing he mentions how the weight of expectations buckled this group. So we have a team that has trouble both creating energy and dealing with high expectations? Are we dealing with college age men or junior high girls?

Well there was the hair dye....

The same question would be more validly asked of some posters...
