Any good sights or sounds today from the game? Or even the DSM games?

My favorite personal ones from today...

Two guys behind us were Colorado State fans just there to enjoy a day of good basketball. They were... interesting.

-Early in the game one of the guys asks the other "Iowa State travels pretty well. Do they sell out their games?" The other guy "Do you even watch college basketball?"
-At one point during the game one of the guys touches my shoulder and asks "So Hilton Coliseum is named after the Hotel Chain right? That must be good money, wish we had that."
-Towards the end of the game they ask me how the Cardinal and the Cyclone are related. I tell the story about beating Northwestern long ago when we were the Cardinals and blah blah blah. The other guy didnt hear me and asked the guy I told to tell him the story again, and he told him "Something about other teams called the Cardinals complaining and making them change their team". to which he replied "Oh, that would have probably been Louisville. Damn they always get their way"
-They were very complimentary of ISU overall and talked about how they loved watching Eustachy at ISU and like him now

Good times. Good times. Tournaments are always great to get different perspectives.

Were you close enough to hear what English said? How could he be mean to your avatar?

I got a little ****** at Washington scoring at one point, and the CU fan next to me reminded me that we were still bigger and stronger than Iona. She was right.

I never know whether to believe anything I read in these types of threads.

There was these three guys like in their late 40's wearing KU stuff cheering against us . They were dang annoying .... Even my 6 year old son turned and gave them a look. I was shocked to see a few people wearing Hawkeye stuff at the game too.

The latter probably picked tickets up at a shelter or soup kitchen.

“People were talking trash the whole game,” English said. “Somebody told me to shut up, I just told him to shut up back, you know me. People were saying worse things than that throughout the whole game. It was just a fun atmosphere. I just don’t understand you wait until the last second to call the tech. I probably got one technical foul when I was a freshman. I don’t get technical fouls.”

Zero chance Prohm has that reaction to "shut up".

They had given double T's earlier in the game for that, so a senior should know better. Not sure I agree with the call at that time, but he shouldn't have taken the chance.
 
Was probably closer to stfu but ok.

While I was working yesterday the wife was getting hammed in downtown Des Moines, and she said her group of friends were drinking at a bar with some Nebraska basketball fans they met that were from one of the Dakotas. Yeah you read that correctly. Nebraska basketball has fans, I'm shocked too. Anyway, my wife, who can't resist any chance to poke fun at Iowa, Nebraska, or Kansas fans, asked them if they were lost, since Nebraska didn't even sniff the tourney this year. They were good sports about it, though, and said they were in town because they just like to watch good basketball (which doesn't make sense coming from Nebrasketball fan but okay fine). The Dakotans said Des Moines is an underrated venue for the tourney and paid for a few of their drinks. I guess the moral of the story is, Dakota people are nice, and ask for vacation time before everyone else in your office takes it off so you can also join in on the shenanigans.

I swear Musberger thinks this too. On his calls he always says "the Hilton", bugs me a lot more than it probably should!
