The wheels
- Thread starter Skidoosh
- Start date
At halftime, we asked the five year old girl that sits in front of us if the Cyclones were going to win, and SHE said "You bet!". I think maybe we could learn something from that.
I didn't stop chewing my knuckles until the last possession...but damned if they didn't come through for us!
Proud of our Cyclones tonight...they didn't quit.
I did a quick scan of posters, and admittedly there are a few I don't know in here, but I believe I'm the only female who posted in here. I may have missed someone, if so...apologies!
I read this thread after coming home from the game on Monday night, and made the post above. I don't really think it qualifies for "internet tough girl" posturing, does it?
There also is (not seems) a lot of immature overreaction to anything related to MBB that is not perfect. ISU has 16 mother ******* wins over ranked teams in the last 2 seasons, more than anyone else in the nation. Some great road wins over ranked teams - numbers that ISU MBB has never put up in their history.
A team that has been one of the most consistent in the nation over the last few years too - as far as being a very good/competitive team.
And yet, when one or two games don't go ISU's way (or even if they win but it's not by enough) - we have babies claiming the wheels have fallen off, Fred has lost the team, no leadership, no heart, etc.
That is ******* pathetic. There is no better fan than you stating that - it's just fact. It's one thing to be disappointed by a loss. It's another to quit on the team/program, pronounce their death this season and claim Fred is losing the program.
Good grief.
Ok, here is Skidoosh's intial post

Come on, those posts are tame, especially in the light of the Cyclone's first half performance.
And here was Rochclone's response:

[FONT=&]Explain to me what is so terrible in Skidoosh's posts that Rochclone would call Skidoosh a "bandwagon" fan and demand he "get the **** out of here."
Rochclone is saying, "You gave up on the team tonight therefore, I believe, you don't deserve to be a Cyclone fan ever again."
ISUfan22, do you agree with Rochclone?

Not impressed with this thread, but to be fair, there were many more, some worse, wheels off posts in the game thread. Too busy to go back and find them, or find out which posters they were from.
I'm not gunna bash too hard, because sitting in Hilton on Monday, there were many negative thoughts going thru my head in that first 25 minutes. Difference is, I didn't publicly publish them.

You should have thrown your food and drinks at them. Would have been hilarious. Not popcorn though, you need that to read this thread.

Well, even if he didn't, Fred always comes out okay...he can ride his bike. We already know Fred's got pedalling mechanics as pretty as his free throw stroke:

I guess I kind of treat game threads as a place for people to ***** about how the game is going, and get it all out. Just people reacting emotionally and not always seeing things logically.
In my book, once you think you have something important or useful enough to say in its own thread you open yourself up to more criticism.

I don't know if you were trying to be cute, but this is a dumb post. Nearly every fan base has a fringe group that thinks this way.
