Can't say I hate Brady Heslip. He's annoying, yes, but his best games usually don't (or at least haven't yet *knock on wood*) come against ISU.

We need to do that cf bracket for big 8 big 12 someone mentioned. I take it no one made a list and then seeded them yet?

Iowa isn't much of a consistent national player, but if they're were, they'd fill a bracket

Jaacks
Jeff Moe
McCabe
Reggie Evans
Ray Thompson
Steve Carfino
Todd Berkanpas
Adam Haluska..

In the final Big 8 Tournament ISU beat Missouri in the semifinals. On the last possession of the game and IIRC there was a shot and ISU rebounded the ball with just a second or two left in the game and in charges Sutherland... grabbing the ISU player with the ball attempting to rip it away from him. The horn sounds and the game is over but there is that little ***** Sutherland still tied up with the ISU player fighting over the basketball. Both benches spilled onto the floor, heated words were exchanged along with some pushing and shoving because Sutherland was being a little ***** like usual. In all of the years I have been a Cyclone fan that was the closest that the Cyclones had ever come to a bench clearing brawl that I have ever seen and all because of that little d-bag Sutherland. ISU went on to beat Kansas the next day and win the Big 8 Tournament title.

Indeed. Sutherland was a d bag. F - Missouri.

I think between Cato, Pratt, and Bankhead we would have taken care of business.

It's a good thing we don't pay you to think.

I'll bet in 4 years Niang will make the most hated opponents list for fans of every other Big 12 school. He's really good, he'll seem like he'll have been here forever, and he talks major *&^%. And we'll have won lots of games in his tenure.

1. Jason Sutherland (hands down the biggest d-bag I've seen on the court. Someone else mentioned this earlier, but there were MU fans that didn't even like him)

After him, I have Clarence Gilbert, Eduardo Najera, Jacque Vaughn, Adam Haluska

Has nobody mentioned Ryan &%$@# Minor yet? I hated that guy!

Also, got very sick of hearing about Iowa-born Hinrich and Collison going to KU for 4 flipping years....every game.

Mateen Cleaves and his muppet mouth has his own special place on this list for me.

Nobody mentioned Derek Grimm yet, but he always reminded me of some shaved ape in a MU uniform.
