***Official Big 12/SEC Challenge vs Auburn Gameday Thread***

I'm guessing this is just kind of the way the schedule came together. I would like to think it was planned this way to give the team more time to gel, but I'm guessing it is not that easy to manipulate a schedule that way.

We were originally going to play BYU sometime in December but it got moved up.

Try missing 5 years worth of games in Hilton. I need to make it back for some, but bball games are hard to swing for me living in Chi.

Try getting home for games when you live in Johannesburg, South Africa. Thank goodness for internet feeds, but I can't tell you how many times my wife asked what in the heck I was doing up in the middle of the night with my headphones on with my computer!!

ah...so, no Auburn preview from CW?

 

[mattmckillip]

Kane limping in warm ups. Looks like he was grabbing his groin. Hopefully he's fine

That will be "Shame on me, Chapter 2."

Yeah, in the 15 minutes of warmup I watched Kane was stretching the whole time. Went to the lockerroom with the trainers and had a limp.

[mattmckillip]

Kane came out of the locker room. Jogging with a limp and wincing

Not good.

Damn! Hopefully it is nothing serious!

Kane is looking better. He no longer has a limp. Hopefully he just tweaked it

A link would be much appreciated!

Might have had a cramp? But yea a groin strain or pull can mess with you for weeks and weeks. Let's hope it's just nothing. Might have come out and over stretched it being cold.

 

[Cincyclone]

Kane looked fine on that dribble drive. Nice dish to Hogue for the layup

I think it just seems a lot different this year because last year the team played in the Las Vegas thing right around Thanksgiving, but this year doesn't play in anything like that until around Christmas.

There was a big break last year though too. Between the last game before Christmas on December 19th, and the first conference game with Kansas on January 9th, ISU only played one game....against Yale on the 1st.

It does seem like it has been a long time between games though. Plus, ISU has only played 5, and other teams have played 7, 8 or more. ISU has played the fewest games of any ranked team. It will all even out in the end though.

Also, ISU has 12 non-conference games this season, instead of 13 ... with 13, one of these 1-game weeks would have 2 games, so it might not seem to crawl along so slowly.

I see we have the Gold Jerseys on again...not sure if this is good or bad?

 

[CoKane]

I guess Houge belongs in jail now too.

 

[cyrevkah]

more details? I decided just me and baby wouldn't go over well. Score?
