Iowa State Daily

The student newspaper at ISU is a little upset with the Maniacs.​
I'm surprised Iowa State even knows this is the 3 point era. We might have too much fun to be a rival of Iowa State, they seem to be real sticks in the mud. I expect the fans to be reading their bibles at halftime on the 26th.

It seems that the players really like to do their customized things when they are introduced. How about Hogue doing a flying kick when he comes out?

Terry Henderson is out with Mono. Also glanced at some publication claiming it might keep him out the rest of the season, but can't cite where. Either way, he's out for this one and was probably their most consistent #3 scoring option throughout the year.

A consistent number 3 scoring option and commitment on the defensive end is what holding this WVU team back, per Coach Huggins himself in his last two pressers. Huggins basically admits they can't make enough stops to win unless three people are on offensively.

P.S. Check out my earlier post on how the Daily Athenaeum introduced the Mountaineer Maniacs to our players in print prior to our first game w/ WVU.

Furthermore, the Bob Huggins Baylor postgame video is just a good watch in its own right. His style is so different from what we are used to, but you definitely get a sense that this guy knows what he's talking about and has seen it all!

He doesn't really say anything at all about ISU, but I thought it gave me really good insight into where WVU is at this point in the season from their own point of view. It makes it easier as an ISU fan to get a feel for how WVU's play as a whole has relatively average in the last 2-3+ weeks despite the blowout win in Morgantown.

Apparently by "real sticks in the mud" he must be referring to the fact that ISU doesn't post a target list in the Daily of which players to boo, topics to be used in heckling opposing players, lighting objects on fire after the game regardless of outcome, assaulting visiting fans before/during/after the game, and in general being d-bags.

Yeah, but then you'll have the sky is falling posters coming out and saying how bad we are because we barely beat a team that's just over .500. Because for whatever reason, a win isn't a win for a select number around here.

As long as none of those posters are on the selection committee, I can look over their posts and I would recommend doing so also

Hogue deserved the foul call last game. Was it a flagrant foul? Probably not considering they didn't call it at all until Harris' flagrant 2. But they should have called it.

Harris was ejected for essentially targeting another player. That's who he is. He deserves whatever the alley dishes out tonight.

I am thinking Harris or whatever his name is will get a ton of crap from students. Someone posted the video on ticket trader and I've seen it a coupe of other places. It is really the first time I've seen people saying anywhere we need to target someone. I think the biggest key is to just let people know and I think they will know.

Hopefully, we can do something more creative than another f-ing version of "Over-rated!"

Maybe go with "kung-fu-fight-ing."
