Has cyclone#1 posted in this thread?

No.

So quit bring him up, unless he contacted you - asking you do to do on his behalf - which I doubt.

Back to the postgame discussion...

I am just passing along my observations/opinions.

Regarding keeping the discussion to the game, when I commented about the defense from CB in this game I got negged by yourself so I figured I'd better switch directions..:biggrin:

Here's the thing...I didn't view Cyclone's #1 posts as negative.

And that's fine. I don't know which particular post you're referring to. My point was that when the vast majority of what an individual posts is negative, the good posts with fair criticisms and numbers to back up your opinions (like you say was in the post) get nullified because you've already discredited yourself because of your reputation.

Look at it this way. When Jose Canseco said Roger Clemens wasn't at his party, did you believe him?

 

[isuno1fan]

I don't want to belabor the point. Just request that we allow posters to be critical as long as they do it fairly and that hasn't been shown to be the case in my observations and experiences.

Water under the bridge.

I'm sticking to my opinion I posted that I think we have one more victory in us against KSU at home. Mizzou lost today at Baylor, but they led a good portion of that game. It will be difficult in Columbia although we have played well there recently.

You're not going to get a whole lot of positive thoughts about a team that has won two of its last 11 games and will more than likely finish on the short end of its next 3, finish 14-18 (4-12). Just not going to happen.

I am sorry, but I don't know how your are going get a win from this ISU team the rest of the year. I think right now the team has no confidence on the floor anymore. Just watching a team go through the motions till the end of the season.

Four wins in the BIG 12 this year at this point in the season is really hard to sallow. I am surprised there are not more people complaining about this team. I don't think anybody was expecting a miracle season but what I saw today makes it really hard when you don't see the effort from a fundemental stand point out on the floor.

The team

I first of all support Coach McDermmot in is coaching ability and recruiting ability.

I did expect this year to be alot better then what has occured and I believe that Coach MCD will do better when his recruiting class comes in

I would like to know from everyone out there what there thoughts are on the new recruiting class coming in and what there expecatations are for next year. Seeing todays Colorado game I saw - I have no idea what I saw. I hope this will get straightened out next year with his class coming in.


PLEASE STAY OUT OF THE KOOL-AID

After watching this game and if the new recruits for next year watched they have like there chances for playing right away. It looks to me like pretty much every position is up for grabs next year. Just depends on a healthy WJ and were what position he will play.

ISU will be sorely lacking in the post next year, and the kid recruited for the post...well, let's just say that there have been some rather unflattering things posted here about his abilities.

 

[jbhtexas]

Regurgitating the same vomit all over the forum, day after day - does get old and likely won't yield positive responses.

Maybe when the team starts playing differently there will be different things to talk about...

Well, counting Lucca, here's what we've got.

PG Dominique Buckley 6'2"
SG Wes Eikmeier 6'3"
SG/SF Lucca Staiger 6'5"
PF Clinton Mann 6'7"
C Justin Hamilton 6'11"

We're basically bringing in another lineup next year. I'm more excited about the backcourt than the frontcourt, as by far our biggest need is a shooter right now. If Eik and Staiger are the sharpshooters they've been rumored to be, it's a step in the right direction. I'd be surprised if Hamilton has much more than a Vette role next year. We can really use Mann to be the stud rebounder that he's been in high school, because we're losing a lot there this year. I honestly think we're looking at another 16-ish win season next year unless Mann/Hamilton/Brackins/Thompson/CoJo step up big time.

In retrospect, should we have redshirted Wesley?

I vote yes.

This is good ol' hindsight talking, but, yes, it sure looks that way.

Speed has been one thing we lack. Everyone seems like they are moving in slow motion and Im sure thats why we never get good looks at the basket. Motion just isnt crisp. Doesnt help that we usually suck at CU anyway. I was happy to see Roby didnt score in the last 30 seconds when he easily could have. Classy act I thought. While this loss stung a bit, I expected it going in. We have alot of work to do.

Cyclone #1, Cyclone #1, Cyclone #1, Cyclone #1, Cyclone #1

Sorry, couldn't help myself. I got a little excited.

Plus, I was fouled by Bryan Peterson:yes:

Not having Clark really hurt on defense, but there were signs of life. With Rashon and Jiri gone after this season getting points in the paint may be difficult. I think the coaching staff will get Mr. Brackins in the weight room and others like Alex Thompson and the new comers.

As for shooting guards Petey, Garrett, Haluska are back with experience. Wes will be healthy and can not wait to see what Lucca and Boozer can do. The future in my eyes is bright, just taking some lumps this season. Be patient cyclone fans it will come around.:wink:

Nothing wrong with people calling things as they see them as long as they are respectful in the way it is shared. Cyclones #1 was absolutely railed this week in his thread and he was very respectful with his posts, shared actual facts to support his opinion, and was never argumentative. I support that.

You see things one way...others see them another. Surely not everyone agrees with everything you say in every aspect of your daily life?

I have nothing wrong with 95% of the negative posts and posters. Most of them are correct in what they say. What I hate is when people come here and do noting but rip on ISU and the program. Saying we suck and it will never get better isnt doing any good but to get ohters upset. These players and coaches have friends and families (the players themselves even come here) that read these boards, why do they need to see a post that says we suck. The players and coaches are working their butts off to get better, we as fans could cut them a little slack now and then. Everyone knows all the pieces are not in place yet.
There are a few some posts here about players the posters have never saw play. There are some posts about the team that are nothing but negative and question the coaches every move. Sure you can question it but at some point the coach has to be right about something. I think there are some fans that want to see the team fail so they can say I told you so. Some fans find a negative in anything and dwell on the bad not the good. There are some that cannot see the big picture. There are some fans that take ISU winning and losing way to seriously. We all know there are problems with this team but the way some people post there comments just strike a nerve with others at times.
