Jay Bilas and his Duke/ACC bias. What is the Over/Under on how many times Jay Bilas will he bring up Cooper Flagg during the game on Wednesday?

Bilas doing our game Wednesday

Is there anything we don’t whine and complain about?
We are such a needy, bitchy fan base.
It’s getting old when we’re really good and everyone raves about us all the time.

Often when Iowa State is ranked in the top ten, I know it is a little bit of fools gold. Basketball or football. We have likely over achieved our talent level and it is a matter of time until we drop outside the top ten. This year is different in that I legitimately believe we are a top 5 team in the country. Our talent is so good. As good as we have played, I know we still have more. I refuse to look too far ahead. I just want to enjoy beating Kansas in Hilton with someone like Bilias calling our game. I don’t like his bias, but him coming to Ames in January means we are relevant. What a great time to be a Cyclone.
100% agree, only other team I've felt like this about is 1999-2000. Even with them it took a while to realize, the "we can beat anyone in the country" confidence wasn't there for me until near the end of the regular season. E.g. that team wasn't ranked until early February after beating #12 KU at home, and prior to that didn't really have any super-impressive wins. They beat Arkansas on a neutral floor early on (eventually a 19-win team) and beat Colorado at home early in the Big 12 slate (eventually a 18-win team), meh.
Larry said he realized we were really good after we played #1 Cincinnati in a Thanksgiving tournament and played well. I don't remember much about that game but we lost by 15 points, couldn't have played that well.
I thought Fran said during the broadcast that he and the play by play guy were going to be at our Kansas game
He said in the overtime period that they will be on the couch watching the ISU/KU game on Wed
This game is set up to be fascinating. I suspect Bill is going to pull out all the stops to win this one - patented technical when in trouble, will declare TJ the second coming of Wooden in pre-game comments, extra tape on the toupe.
I love these winning streaks where every game gets bigger regardless of who you are playing but is amplified when a blue blood is the opposition.

I’d like to see Bilas show up when it’s not Kansas or Houston.
I like Bilas...I like listening to his thoughts about the game and college athletics. That said I enjoy Fran F much more! The reason: Fran F knows every player in our league! He studies the Big 12 and promotes our league more than anyone. That is the only disappointment I feel about Bilas coming here Wednesday. It should be Fran's assignment!
Give me Fran (or Raftery on CBS) or give me death.
You know how to really tell that we are Legit good? Look at the absence of Hok trolls in these threads...the chicken little cyclone fans have stepped up to fill the void though!
He’s fair, but is pretty dry for a color commentator. He’s the anti Bill Walton.
In the destroy Ku thread someone linked Ku forum, they were complaining about Fran announcing our games and that we play FB style defense.
