Not derail this beauty of a thread about another kid we had zero chance with, but... Did Barnes really do that? I knew there were a lot of ISU fans and McDermott, but did he he really invite Thompson, Geoffrey and the Band? I don't have a big issue with inviting individuals, but to invite the Band is another level.

I've seen a few variations of this story. Some have said he had the Ames High band in attendance, not ISU's. But I believe Thompson is a constant figure in all the stories.

I didn't have a problem until he brought Johnny Orr on stage and slapped him in the face, that seemed over the top.

I'm just wondering if anybody on CF matched Kentucky's bid by offering Nerlens their wife. If so, no way he doesn't choose us over Kentucky!

Anyone else curious on what this lady actually looked like?

They are from Kentucky, what do you think she looked like.

Like Anthony Davis?

If a person doesn't want to be slapped across the face, they shouldn't attend someone's announcement. Announcements are serious, dangerous business.

Through the whole HB saga, 3TrueFans has had HB's balls balanced on his/her chin. At least you are consistent.

Nerlens Noel tweets he's going to 'shock the world' could the cookies be working? :smile:

He's going to announce that he's going to play women's basketball at Baylor.

You heard it here first.

He's going up against Payton in the Oreo Double Stuf Racing League finals.

Going to go play for a German team... that's my prediction.

Only the best leave in the middle of a college basketball season, though, so he should do that!

not sure why your post made me think of this, but I just spent a few minutes imagining Fred with the flat top....

It looked way too much like Detlef Schrempf to be comfortable.

I had a detlef schrempf poster on my wall growing up, won it at a bball camp. People would be like who the hell is that lol. It hung next to my stacey augmon poster from the same camp, it was an addidas camp.

I have a poster autographed by the whole Blazers team from early 00s that lost in game 7 of the western conference finals to the Lakers. Pippen, Sabonis, Smith, Schrempf, Wallace, all of em. One of my favorite pieces of sports memorabilia.

If he invites Gary Thompson and the ISU band and President, and then picks someone else can we be mad without everyone calling us butthurt?

You brought back so much hate!

I am a bad person.

Not to be a typical CF debbie downer, but that is Eli

I was there that day. It was the Ames high band, the whole school got out early to go watch as well.

Probably invited all of them even though some were Iowa State fans. What an a-hole.

I hear that he invited Cyclone Alley, but they never showed up.

They did show up actually, but they weren't wearing their CA shirts so they couldn't get in.
