It's a week before I'm off for 10 days, I need something to argue until then while working.
Well since wins and losses is all that matters in your argument then it's true. Are you saying that who you play actually does matter?
I can feel tuco's collar getting hotter ever since we burned down IC. Could Lawrence be next?
Some of us didn't get to put our logo in the middle of the court either... Neutral site.
I though heading into the season that they might be a decent team. Now that I have seen them play a few times I can see that they are not. And now that I have seen most of the Big 10 teams play, I can see that they are going to get pounded on in the month of January. It's called reevaluating opinions based on new information.
You have to separate what Clone fans says from what the rest of the nation thinks. Of course we all think Iowa is NIT or CIB bound. However, the rest of the nation looks at the North Carolina win and many still consider Iowa to be a decent team. In the eyes of the sports media, it was a good win for us. For us fans, the Hoks can go **** themselves and we'll always say they are no better than intramural competition. That doesn't change the sports analysts perceptions.
Sure. 1) If team ranked #1 beats team ranked #2 by 30 points, it doesn't automatically mean that team #2 isn't still the second best team in the country. It just means that team #1 was 30 points better than them that day and should still be ranked #1. Since you are all spending so much time trying to convince me that the results of an individual game are less important than the weight of an overall resume, I would argue that KU's overall resume deserves to have them ranked higher than they are since it is much more impressive than some of the teams ranked above them. 2) ISU's overall resume, given the limited sample size at this point in the season, is marginally better than Maryland's overall. I would understand why a voter would vote ISU higher than Maryland despite the head to head win. I would also certainly not think it is ridiculous for a person to say that the head to head win means more to them when they voted and put Maryland ahead of ISU. There simply isn't enough of a difference in the resumes for it to be ridiculous considering that they did actually beat them.
i think cyclone fans have done a great job maintaining our reputation as the most hypersensitive fanbase.
if I were in the national media i'd troll cyclone fans all day long. we're low hanging fruit.

No student section and no banners = no home game. That was a seriously tame crowd in KC for the KU-Utah game. On the flip side, it took my voice more than a week to recover from the Florida game and I get a headache just thinking about how loud it was down the stretch. Easily the loudest game end to end I have ever been to.
I actually agree with this, but I am one who wouldn't have a problem if Maryland was ranked higher. But what Tuco says here also supports that it isn't crazy for ISU to be ranked higher than Maryland, either and that is what this particular Seth appears to be saying.
Cliffnotes: It isn't crazy for Maryland to be higher or ISU to be higher. I know ISU has been on the other side of that many times. It is good to be the king (Hoiberg).
Why, did somebody say something? Please post link. Something bad about ISU? Was it ESPN? CBS Sports? Who's been talking smack about us?
Oh, I know. But I look at what Iowa has coming up soon and they are going to have some serious problems. Their next 8 games are Northern Iowa, North Florida, @Ohio State, vs. Nebraska, vs. Michigan State, @Minnesota, vs. Ohio State and @Wisconsin. Outside of the North Florida game, none of those are gimmies. They might feel decent about the home game against Nebraska given their recent struggles but even that could blow up in their faces. I don't see more than about 3 wins max in that stretch. Woof.
Good work, I agree. I can understand Maryland being ranked above ISU or ISU above Maryland though I think ISU's resume is a little better at this point. I just got snippy with the KU UK post.
