    I agree. I think you could argue that they have more talent than the 2000-2001 team that won 25 games and the Big 12 regular season title.

    Garrett < Tinsley
    Christopherson = Sullivan (Fr)
    Gilstrap > Horton
    Brackins > Rancik
    Hamilton = Shirley

    In terms of talent, this year's team is at least equal to that 2000-01 team. The difference must be all of the intangibles (decision-making, toughness, etc.).

    I don't like the logic though, the more I donate the more GMAC gets paid. I should just put all donation funds toward the CGC. That all goes to football right?

    Is my donation level directly proportional to my fanhood? I must have skipped that part of the manual.

    I agree with you for the most part. Sure it's debatable but the key I think is at PG and in your little (parentheses).

    Do you really think LE would have got fired if it wasnt for boosters pulling the strings? They were mad because he didnt talk to them and shake their hand at Cyclone events.

    Do you really think Morgan would have got fired if it wasnt for boosters pulling the strings? They were mad because of the street ball being played and type of players he was bringing to Ames.

    The amount you dontate or dont donate doesnt affect how good of fan you are but it does affect if your voice is listened to.

    If you think Mac is getting a raise or extension after this season you are crazy.

    Tinsley was worth three of our guards today. He was fast, he passed, he was resilient, he stole the ball, he rebounded, he shot layups, he shot short shots, he pumped up the team.
    Looking forward to CFH magic for the next bball season, Georges style.

    You can't be serious!

    1. Obviously a HUGE difference between Garrett and Tinsley.

    2. Sullivan was a much better offensive player than Christopherson. Defensively, Christopherson has the edge. But overall, Jake's three point shooting ability makes him the better player.

    3. I could certainly argue that Horton was better than Gilstrap. Horton was very savvy and made a lot of smart plays. Having him out there was like having a second point guard that would have been good enough to start for most other teams in the Big 12. Gilstrap is a better scorer, but I'd take Kantrail on my team over Gilstrap any day.

    4. Yes, Brackins is better than Rancik, although Martin could certainly hold his own. At least Rancik didn't put up ****** shots every time he touched the ball.

    5. Ham is a good player and has made great strides this year. However, I'm not sure that he provides all of the intangibles that Shirley did.

    Re: 2010 ISU MBB Wins

    Has anyone thought for a second that perhaps the talent that we have isn't great all-around talent. I don't know of many NBA players that go 3-17 from the field. I realize Craig is getting double but his shot selection at this point is terrible. MG needs another year of college to gain some offensive consistency. Furthermore this team does not play defense with a purpose. Unfortunately there are far too many players on this team that have learned to lose. They are looking for ways things can go wrong at the end of a gem. Individual talent (or can I simply score) doesn't win games.
