    *** Official #25 Washington State vs #4 IOWA STATE Game(Day) Thread ***

    Totally forgot about the crowd assembled outside the building last night with signs proclaiming God hates your idols, God hates enablers, etc. I texted wife and told her that was not on my NCAA tourney bingo card. She looked it up and quickly found their site and with their upcoming hate tour...

    *** Official #25 Washington State vs #4 IOWA STATE Game(Day) Thread ***

    I felt super comfy with a 10 point-ish lead with 5 minutes to go tonight. Like really in the "they got this" zone. Back in the Hoiball days I would have been waiting for an offensive drought to show up. Solid ISU crowd turnout. Illinois filled up the arena right after halftime, so I was a...

    Unfortunately we could have rounded up 5 guys from the stands and they would have done slightly worse than Duquesne tonight.

    This kinda belongs in one of those "heard in the stands of the game" thread. :prohm:

    An honest discussion: what happened to Greg McDermott at ISU?

    Chizik was an incredibly important hire for ISU. In the fall of 2006 ISU sends out a letter to season ticket holders saying, we're gonna need a lot of heavy lifting from you going forward if ISU has any chance to compete. 2006 FB team proceeds to lose a ton of blowouts with a bare cupboard...

    An honest discussion: what happened to Greg McDermott at ISU?

    I seem to recall one year that ISU had Big 12 preseason (1st team voted in guys?) Brackins and Gilstrap but were picked like 8th within the Big 12. That's a weird contradiction, but I don't think those teams had any depth really. I don't remember a lot about the McDermott years. I'm curious...

    Current mood. Gonna miss most of the games tonight while watching the Clones in Omaha but that's OK.

    ***Official 2024 NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament Thread***

    Goods grief! I knew KU had a great record in the opening round, but that is insane. I'll give the beakers this... it seems that they generally stomp the piss out of whatever low seed they face in the round of 64. Basically been a team I never looked at as a possible high seed upset victim in...

    No doubt that basically gave KU the game there. KU is in big trouble if the call wasn't blown... but Samford can't control that.

    ***Official 2024 NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament Thread***

    Im pissed about the blown call on the block vs KU, but Samford kept letting a Jayhawk free way down court on like 3 straight trips when they had the possession arrow. They blew it on defense late in that game over and over.

    I figured it would be Illinois and UD before ISU/WSU.

    Omaha Roll Call

    I took a shot and purchased a Saturday ticket before the bracket was announced. Hopefully I'll also get to see an ISU win AND a Duquesne upset while in the building.

    I remember another time where a team from the state of Iowa played a lowly 9 seed who basically played a home game. :D

    It's a great feeling when you can peel away from the ISU game(with a 20 some point lead) to watch Oakland take down UK! I though SDSU had a nice stretch where they settled in late 1st half against ISU's defensive pressure, but they were still a bit timid with passes, and perhaps feeling...

    The Trev Alberts Trophy?

    Part of me can believe that some of the match-ups and story lines could really come across as fabricated, but I also try to remember that the committee members can't just rattle off where Otz coached before ISU and his ties to SDSU for example. Plus OTZ was last there in 2019. Thats kind of a...

    Iowa State vs SDSU Thursday at 6:35pm TruTV

    Considering this will be in Omaha with a high ISU turnout I don't feel that it would be a bad thing. Should be plenty of juice in the arena to get the team hyped up even if it was a noon tip on Thursday. The first couple times Hoiberg got ISU in the tourney, the late Friday games were perfect...

    *** Official Selection Sunday Thread ***

    For anyone wringing their hands over the teams in ISU's bracket... the tourney is unpredictable as hell. Take a breath. Hopefully ISU rolls next weekend. I can guarantee you that NOBODY will be excited to play ISU in this tourney. Side note, when your team gets through the round of 64 and...

    Sorry for jinxing the whole tourney, but I bought the Saturday session this morning before prices went to the moon.

    2024 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame nominees (and now, inductees) announced (on page 3):

    Ugh. Some of the rock groups on this list come across as OK in my book. Lenny Kravitz for wrote horrible rhymes and cliché lyrics for a lot of his hits. I like Janes addiction, but what are they doing on this list? Oasis were a big deal for a couple albums, but I don't recall them...
