I Come in Peace

[GTO]

Hi Everyone! I'm a Pitt/Miss St fan and wanted to come here and talk about our upcoming matchup. Our fan base is really excited to be in the tournament and think we can go very far this year. Our coach Chris Jans/Jeff Capel has done an incredible job with the team this year and have installed an offense/defense that most teams are not used to facing.

We also have (insert player X name here) who is one of the most dominant matchup problems in the (insert conference here). Additionally, (insert player Y name here) is projected as a lottery pick and is a deadly 3-point shooter. Our point guard (insert player Z here) is also one of the best freshmen in the (insert conference name here) and can handle defensive pressure easily.

I don't think you've ever faced anything like what we have. I don't know anything (at all) about Iowa State other than you are very good offensively under coach Hoiberg, but bad defensively and rebounding. Unfortunately, that won't fare well against our top (insert Kenpom, NET, RPI, BPI, Sagarin - whatever favors their team).

Thanks for welcoming me and looking forward to the great banter with Iowa State fans!

Some people this week. Probably.

What other kind of things do we always hear from opposing fans when they come here? I tried to mention as many as I could remember So many of the same things year after year.

I had to do a double take after reading the first sentence and seeing the post count...

"What's Hickory Park like?"

I also love how they'll always brag about some random 7-footer who only plays like 3 minutes per game.

Love it!

I will say, occasionally an opposing fan will swoop in for a major matchup, and engage in meaningful, knowledgeable, respectable discussion.

What do you guys think about *insert something that I could easily google*?

They always start out friendly until we don't stroke their ego a bit. But, I said NO OFFENSE!

The worst case of this was when we played Nevada. They were a 12 seed supposedly loaded with unguardable future NBA lottery picks. We beat them fairly comfortably and I don't think a single player from that roster ever played an NBA game.

Yes, I remember their fans looking ahead past ISU. That was fun.

@geewago, I think, is an example of that.

That MF was awkward AF. I hope Abdelmassih didn't pay too much for that one.
