It's been a minute but Madison out of state was ******* bonkers when I looked. I'm sure smaller UW schools were better.
I'm guessing because he's about to play the best team in the country on their home turf with a rabid fanbase and a psycho coach. Sounds like fun as a neutral observer.
Pearl has always been a snake
How does that have anything to with ISU fan interactions though? Agree they are gonna get crushed by uconn
I went to UIUC for grad school (biology/genetics) and honestly didn't know much about the university overall before showing up on campus. I was surprised at the size of their ag program, and most of the statistics courses most relevant to my field were taught through Crop Sciences, Animal Science, or the Natural Resources program. My department was (partially) housed in their Morrill Hall.
Still a ton of Chicago influence, though. Most of the undergrad students were from Chicago or its suburbs. I was one of several TAs for a 600+ person intro biology course, and attended the lectures during the first week of class. The instructor once asked how many students considered themselves to be from Chicago, and nearly every person in the room raised their hand.
Back when I was at ISU it seemed every other person you met was from Illinois. Not sure if it's true, but they said out of state tuition at ISU was cheaper than Illinois an the time. Anyway, Illinois is full of ISU alum. What fanbase wouldn't like us if they knew anything about ISU?
Some states, or at least some state universities in some states, have what are called "reciprocity agreements" where out-of-state students get in-state tuition with those institutions. Not sure if there is any of that between Iowa/ISU and Illinois though.
There is not (at least not 05 to 10) but tuition was comparable enough and at least in my case, ISU was offering more in financial aid and the Dy Sci program was better.
All good. Just means I'll have to go to one of your tailgates this year! Need to get some We Will Pizza anyway
I don't really care who wins today but I find it hard to root for a guy like Shannon
Huh. I knew they hated Pearl, but I figured it was just because he's a putz.
I enjoyed them at the tournament in the Destin era (Niang-Monte-Naz-McKay year). Sat with a guy who really knew - and loved - his hoops. Of course, it's easier to like another team's fans when you are dusting them like we did.
On the other hand, I found UAB fans to be some of the worst humans I've come in contact with. I still root against them b/c of their obnoxious fans.

I was impressed with Coleman Hawkins post game interview on TV Thurs. He was intelligent, focused and humble. I thought he might be a reflection on the coach, Underwood, and maybe I misjudged Underwood some.
I still don't think I like Underwood though.
Pearl got into it with Johnny Orr at the ‘87 CyHawk game. In Hilton Coliseum. How dumb do you have to be? He’s been terrible for a long time, never changed, and he’s proud of it.
