Are you cheering for or against iowa mbb this season?

[cyclones500]

I never actively root for Iowa, vs. anyone.

On rare occasions, I might be OK with UI winning a specific game vs. someone I despise in general, for whatever reason (it can vary by sport) or maybe if it somehow has measurable benefit for ISU.

I root against iowa every time even if it’s against my best interests

 

[dirtyninety]

I'm cheering for entertainment. Chair throwing and chest bumping aren't boring.

 

[MeanDean]

I remember rooting for the USSR team in a televised pre-season exhibition game at IC in the 80's. I'm yelling, "Go you ******* Commies!"

Beat that!

"I cheer for iowa when they aren't playing Iowa State" is always on my list things people say that make me never want to talk to them again.

 

[67CY]

I hope they lose every game forever. I hope that loss on our schedule looks like the worst loss in the history of basketball come March.

Agree 100% but they are so ******* lucky not only will they make the tourney, they will somehow end up in DM

 

[isufbcurt]

If they suck it hurts ISU for potential tourney seeding
if they are good it helps ISU for potential tourney seeding (but that hurts the soul)

this is the first season I have considered rooting for Iowa in the name of helping ISU. I'm conflicted. normally i am squarely on the **** iowa at any and all costs. maybe it is because that iowa loss was so lopsided it wasn't even really painful like a close loss would have been.

**** Iowa.

If we have to rely on them winning games to get in the tournament then we don't deserve to be in the tournament.

I cheer against Iowa, always. It's in my DNA.

Wtf is this poll necessary?

Tomorrows poll:
Do you prefer a $100 bill handed to you by JLH, or do you prefer a swift kick in the nuts from last years winner of the Ray Guy award?

We are finding out just how good the hawks can be when Fran doesn't have the option of playing more than one of his family members 30 mpg. The guys are playing a lot more loosely and freely.

Get better soon, Patrick.

 

[Gunnerclone]

I just don’t see that game moving the seed needle at all at this point. It’s good to be in the Big 12 in basketball.

 

[Cyinthenorth]

If Ferentz and McCaffery were both drowning, what kind of sandwich would you make?

Make a quick pb & j, then toss Fran a life ring

 

[BCClone]

I don't pay attention. I have no idea what they have done since.

Interesting dynamic, kid has a lot of sympathy for his cancer ordeal and appearing to be the only "good" McCaffery.

Something tells me this story expands.

 

[WooBadger18]

I won’t cheer for Iowa. However I will get some joy out of teams like Michigan losing.

 

[Frak]

I won't ever root for them, but I guess if they win, at least there's a little bit of a silver lining. I'd rather not have a Q2 loss.

 

[1961Cylones]

I can't really cheer for EIU but realistically, if they're middle of the road I doubt it would have much effect either way. However, if they can knock down a couple/three of the top dogs and we stay in the upper tier for the entire regular season and conference tourneys, it could help us grab a better seed closer to home, (can you say Wells Fargo in DM?).

Otherwise, I couldn't give a **** if they get out of bed in the morning...

 

[inCyteful]

My dream season for Hok MBB is to make it to the tourney only to lose in the first weekend.

Bonus points if the mascot of the team they lose to an insect or arachnid.

 

[Cydkar]

We don't need Iowa's help in any way, shape, or form.

 

[cyfan92]

I cheer for Iowa just enough for them to keep extending Fran. NIT to 8/9 seed is IDEAL
