Worst weekend ever as a Cyclone fan?

I was like the calendar year 2003 for ISU sports except it all happened in one weekend

It hurts a ton because we had such hopes for these teams and because the teams are filled with such good people.

The current pain is something we feel as the programs are on the ascent. It is better than the numbness of not even being in the tournament and not even having high aspirations.

The pain is lessened a bit by knowing that we aren't going to come crashing down next year. There is plenty of good reason to be hopeful for next year in MBB, WBB, and Wrestling.

In the words of our fearless leader @ChrisMWilliams , "We aren't Cyclone fans because it's easy. We are Cyclone fans because it's Awesome!"

Go Cyclones!

My hope for the MBB team was to not get shut out in conference.

When we lost to Hampton, I was pissed off until May.

Of 2013.

My wife cried after that game saying: "No, No, No!" and still gets mad at me if I bring up that game or mention Hampton at all.

This weekend sucked and if there have been worse doesn't change that.

The higher the level of achievement, the harder the end.

Not even close. Sports can bring you to your knees.

Worst weekend so far.

I agree

Fall weekends during 2004-2005 were some doozies

Carr loss caps it for me.

Note: I'm not bagging on any athlete or team.

How can this be the worst weekend? Both teams in the NCAA. You must have only become a fan this year.

That’s life. Highs seem higher after lows. Lows seem lower after highs.

Eek. Putting it that way is depressing.

This weekend is a bummer for certain, but I'm not sure it's as bad as 2003 even as a condensed version.

I think 2015 was worse. We had a roster full of NBA players and lose to 14-seed UAB. The women also lost the first game of their tournament that year to Dayton.

This weekend and the weekend that Purdy was hurt come to mind…

 

[fsanford]

Seems like a lot of people missed this point. I'm not talking one basketball game. I'm talking a weekend of ****** results.

those single results were worse than this weekends multiple results, at least in the minds for many of us who have been around awhile

March 25, 2000 and it’s not even close.

 

[I-stateTheTruth]

I think to me, worse would be not having either MBB or WBB in the tournament. Plus, the men have a good recruiting class coming in.

Stop bringing perspective into this! You're ruining it for the rest of us!

Hey,even though his team,which is pretty good, lost - Hakeem looked good yesterday and the St. Louis roster abounds with Cyclones. Chin up.

The women’s gold team has an 18 stroke lead on the nearest competitor in their event this weekend. We are a school that only cares about women’s golf, right?

Tennis school too.

Yes! I was trying to remember the really bad weekend from earlier in the year, and that was it. R-O-C-K <> B-O-T-T-O-M on the Cyclones Emotions-Meter. I had already blocked that weekend out of my mind apparently.
