    Could Iowa State be the next Boise St.??

    Personally, I hate BSU specifically for their turf, but no degree of personal hatred or talk of weak schedules changes the fact that Boise has legitimate football players that get drafted by NFL teams. They consistently have talent.

    Gazette: Insight Bowl not opposed to ISU-Iowa rematch

    As a Hawk fan, I'd take a rematch mostly because I was at a wedding that day and missed a three overtime thriller. It would probably be really close again (even though ISU's defense is the only legit unit between both schools). And even an Iowa victory wouldn't make me claim that Iowa had a...

    What game are you watching tonight?

    Indeed!

    J. Lattimer fully reinstated

    Kinda. As I already mentioned, Hubbard got 4 years because sentencing guidelines consider the things that can happen when a firearm is involved. The courts penalize people for the likelihood that the gun will be used whether it is fired or not. I know why, but it's a little sad that...

    J. Lattimer fully reinstated

    There is simply no comparison between the possibility of dying in a tragic accident and death that can result from an unprovoked beating. A more apt comparison is with someone that was actually injured in a violent crash. I'm dealing with actual injuries and concluding that it was an extremely...

    Are you really taking issue with my belief that striking someone who isn't fighting you 20+ times including bodyslamming them while breaking their jaw in multiple places doesn't carry a very real risk of death? That's hardly an exaggeration.

    Please tell me what reality I'm ignoring. You'll fail, but you can try. And the probative value of a sound argument will always depend on the willingness of the audience to hear it, as opposed to pretending that the argument ignores facts.

    Yes they do. The whole point of a hypothetical is that it didn't actually happen. If it had, we wouldn't need a hypothetical. What fact ate you convinced I'm ignoring?

    Hpyothetical question aren't some sort of gimmick and I accepted all the facts. Other than those mistakes, you made a fine rebuttal.

    Part of you problem stems from misunderstanding what constitutes assault in Iowa. You can beat some unconscious in Iowa without being guilty of assault. You can also not touch a person and be found guilty.

    You're bad at arguing.

    And the previous poster is right about what could have happened mattering. Hubbard got 4 years because of the gun his partner in crime carried. That penalty is stiff exactly because of what can happen.

    J. Lattimer fully reinstated

    That's a terrible argument. What actually happened was a felony because it involved a serious bodily injury. You don't get to pretend that felony assault is anything close to misdemeanor assault because it's not. Hubbard got a stiffer sentence because firearms require it. Lattimer got a...

    No. It was a hypo. And one that probably nobody here will answer honestly.

    J. Lattimer fully reinstated

    Absolutely. You're simply not giving credit to Lattimer for intentional acts that could easily have killed the victim and did result in serious injury.

    Cyclone fans would be applauding Fran if his convicted felon was put back on the team (assuming Latt and Hubbard switched places for this criminal activity) with no meaningful, institutional punishment. At least we can all agree on that.

    Hulu Plus

    Hulu Plus has junk for movies, but some decent docs. It has an incredible library of terrible tv shows too. It is nice for catching up on shows you've missed for a while and there are certainly a handful of old shows (new to you) to keep ot for a few months.

    Fran McCafferey

    Sounds about right from a fan. But Iowa fans could just as legitimately claim that Scotty and DG are the only guys Iowa could use.

    these refs need to lose their jobs

    The video proves he took four steps and they blew the whistle after the third. That call was really a shame because there was plenty to complain about from the refs, but many Clone fans are left complaining about an obvious travel.

    these refs need to lose their jobs

    Yep. He clearly does it on purpose. I commented on it in the game thread on one occassion where he saw the guy jump and hurried under him to box him out while he was in the air. Dirty, dirty basketball.
