The fact that Iowa is ranked makes the current ranking laughable.

This guy gets it!

Short answer, No.

Longer answer, Maybe.

Those answers are the same length

 

[cyclones500]

Not ranked, but ISU looked like a top 25 team for most of that tournament.

 

[Ficklone02]

I used to think rankings this time of year didn't matter but lets face it, recruits see that number behind our logo and the exposure builds our brand. Its important to be ranked as much as possible.

 

[bozclone]

I say yes. This is a new era of Iowa State athletics. The glass is half full.

Not sure about that. They look pretty good. From what I’ve seen this is Fran’s best team.

I still like is in that matchup but we will have to earn it if we win.

The tallest midget is still a midget.

 

[Cat Stevens]

Receiving votes but not ranked. Far cry from all the people that said we would lose to Mizzou and go 0-3 in Maui when Wigginton went out and blamed Prohm for suspending Lard and Talley

Where did Jessie go?

 

[Cyclonepride]

They play 2 top 25 teams before they play the clones

That early Big 10 schedule is just odd.

I dislike Iowa as much as anybody, more than most, but unfortunately they seem to be playing pretty good ball right now. From what I have seen, they look better than anybody we have played yet.
That aside, we are playing outstanding BB right now. Should a a good game.

TOE looks good now, they have a whole season to implode. Our coaches in both FB &BB strive for learning, improving, and the end of the season. TOE has those same goals but fail to achieve them usually. I'm predicting a less than 10 pt spread in the game at IC. Hawks look pretty good but we're not bad ourselves.

Fran just hasn’t had the opportunity to crush their spirit yet.

 

[Gunnerclone]

They beat a wildly overrated Oregon team without two of their best players and UConn who pulled the upset. UConn is a nice name but they aren’t vintage right now.

 

[Cydkar]

I know nothing about how Iowa looks. Won’t watch them.

 

[RedlineSi]

Nope, and who cares.

All of us should care. I don’t get this mentality.

 

[BoxsterCy]

#32 and that goes against my understanding of the universe and everything.

 

[CyCrazy]

All of us should care. I don’t get this mentality.

Its November.

 

[RedlineSi]

Its November.

Doesn’t matter. It’s good for exposure and recruiting.

Yeah, it’s a fair ranking...at this point in time.

 

[CyCloned]

I will say no way. Just have not shown quite enough yet. If they would have held on against Zona and given the Zaggs a good game, then yes. Still have lots of opportunities for proving themselves.

As for the TOE, they have looked good so far, but they always seem to start out well, and then when everyone has them figured out, they flame out. It is almost like they have a couple months of illegal practices, so they play well together, but once everyone plays them or sees them the lack of athletes dooms them. I like the Clones in this game if they can get Lard back with his head straight.
