Gottlieb gives ISU an A for 2011-12

[AlleyAddict]

Giving out 2011-12 grades to every Big 12, Big Ten and Big East team - NCB - ESPN

Nothing new or particularly exciting, just thought I'd pass along the nice words from DG.

 

[CyBer]

I give Gottlieb an F for overall effort/accuracy in predicting things.

 

[Bret44]

No.. I hate Doug Gottlieb, don't I? Wasn't I told to hate him??

 

[Bewilderme]

Ugh, he should have given us an A++

 

[CLONECONES]

DG is such a good analyst

 

[ISUCubswin]

Hey guys, be nice. We all put our shorts on one leg at a time.

 

[jaretac]

What!!! That Gottlieb should be fired. I'm sick and tired of this anti-ISU garbage. We did much better than...than...

well he sure did put a lot of effort into that now didn't he. I could of wrote that in 5 minutes with my hands tied behind my back. ESPN needs to fire Gottlieb. I hate Gottlieb, I hate Gottlieb, I hate...

 

[isulive2train]

I gave the pep band drummer an A. That...is a story! Not Gottlieb!!!!

Give credit where credit it due. Just when I thought Gottlieb couldn't get any dumber he picked us over UCONN...and totally redeemed himself!!!!!!

Nice to see some respect, we had a darn good team by the end of the season.

That UConn prediction redeemed him from any hesitance to call ISU a lock when Cyclones were probably a lock already.

In fairness, if I were an analyst I might not have been 100 percent sold at that point, either ... he must have put a high bar on ISU and once the team cleared it, he wasn't bandwagoning UConn over Iowa State, because he saw ISU was a better team at that point.

 

[CtownCyclone]

So...just so I'm clear...we like Gottlieb now? Or do we still hate him? I'm good with whatever.

Rules are:
1. If analyst says good things about ISU, we like him/her.
2. If not, we don't.

Facts or unbiased assessments do not apply.

Hey guys, be nice. We all put our shorts on one leg at a time.

I actually run and jump into my shorts so that both feet go in at the same time, just so I can argue when people make this statement.

 

[CYlent Bob]

I'm all for praising/criticizing media figures on a case by case basis. When they say something dumb, ridicule them. When they say something smart, praise them. When they say something dumb that gives ISU too much credit, smile and say "Thank You". When they say something smart that punctures our bubble before a fall, nod your head and say "Hmmmmm, yes. He might be correct".

It ain't rocket surgery. Or even brain science.

Well... The day of the ISU UConn game he actually changed his prediction and went with UConn. Just so we're clear.

Hey guys, be nice. We all put our shorts on one leg at a time.

Do people actually put their pants/shorts on one leg at a time? Do they have a giant zipper that connects the two legs together and runs from front to back or are people just that much more flexible than me? I find I have to pull both pant legs up at the same time.

I actually like the giant zipper idea for my wife. It would make some things a lot easier.:wink:

No ****. Do u guys live under a rock? He totally changed his mind and picked Uconn. It felt like he was doing it just because every other ESPN talking head picked Uconn and he didn't want to be the only one who got it wrong.

Oh come on, we all know your wife way too well for you to expect any of us to believe that things could be easier.
