On to the Hawkeyes

[GoState]

C'mon. I think we're all just in the dumps after Drake. I think we can hang with Iowa. I also think we'll win. I know it's not 2007, but we were terrible against Drake last year. What'd we do? Came right back and beat Iowa. Maybe...MAYBE...apples to oranges, but I suspect many of us saw a loss coming to Iowa after that game at Drake. Iowa is poor in the rebounding department. They live and die by the three. If they are not hitting, anything's possible. But remember this: Iowa is definitely not North Carolina and we are not Ames Jr. High -- the difference between these two teams is not what many are making this out to be.

I will take umbrage over those that question Iowa's "program" and its integrity. Say what you want about football, but what has Lickleiter done to show he isn't running a clean operation? I don't like Iowa, but I do think he's a class act.

Between Iowa's defense and our offensive droughts, we may be lucky to score 40 points. I don't see us winning this one.

Wanted to start a Look-A-Like thread, but looking at that roster their players are not standing out as celebs.
Any help?

I don't know how to post pics, but it looks like a bunch of goofy white guys (kind of like us). David Palmer (in his pic on your link) looks kind of like Tiger Woods.

Please stop being an embarrassment to our fan base. Iowa didn't flood the field unless they can have it rain 3 or 4 inches on a Thursday and Friday before the game. Also Tucker won't play, I don't think Lick is like that.

Those pumps weren't clogged with sand on accident......Jon knows the truth, hence the no response.

were going to lose by 10+ we have absoulutely no chance for a win at iowa, but after this i say we win out the rest of the non-conference knock on wood

If only you could begin to get your facts straight. You're embarassing us. The pumps weren't clogged, the pipes under the field were. I suppose they just dug them up, stuffed them full of sand, and reburied them, with no corresponding damage to the turf, right?

CyShame, with that kind of turf, the pipes are set in sand to facilitate quick drainage. When there is constant rain for days, oh, say, when there is a FLOOD, the rain seeps into the pipes.

If Iowa blow us out it is going to be a longgggggggggggggggggggggggggggg season. It will be a close game.

 

[cyclonedave25]

I think it'll be a close game, at least until the end when one team has to start fouling the other. That is, if we can make our FT's. I see us losing a close game though... 31-27

I would sign up for that today. That would mean a win at Houston. Ill take that. I dont see us winning either. BUT I think at the end of the year we will have a better record than last year and be a much better team.

This team WILL get better as the season goes on.

 

[Aclone]

And, of course, the game is on the BTN. I hope that both teams get better so we can get a little better national coverage than that.

I would have to agree with most of you that our chances of winning friday aren't very good, but if we accomplish these aspects I don't see why we can't we this game.

1. Offensive production, (Garrett, Brackins, Lucca, bench scoring, and second chance points)
2. Defense, (Force turnovers, win the rebound battle)
3. FOUL TROUBLE, just can't have it.
4. Hustle, after loose balls and get back on D. Just heard last night on the radio that we looked sluggish you can correct me if I'm wrong those who watched the game.

If we did all of that, I don't see us losing many games at all! :wink:

I don't know, SDSU is giving Minnesota all they want right now, 53-48 Minny with 10:30 left on the Stupid Televen Network.

I may have went a little overboard, and will it all happen in one game, probably not, but I would as well as most of you guys, would just like to see us go into Iowa City and beat the crap out of the Hawkeyes!:wink:

Amen! .......... and yeah, it will happen, just not all at once for an entire game. :daydreaming:

 

[Wesley]

Hope we win, but DSagarin ratings tell us that our football team played at a higher level than our bball team is currently doing. just saying. We need a Lafester Rhodes type of game from CB.

Nevermind, 68-54 Minnesota with 3:30 left. Hmmm, Minnesota started to blow a double-digit halftime lead to a mid-major team, but then righted the ship and got back to a comfortable lead and is now no doubt going to win. I wonder what that's like?

 

[MontyBurns]

Winning before honor . . he actually might play. Nothing surprises me anymore with IC and your program.

It looks like they played better with Kelly getting most of Tucker's minutes. So maybe he is now expendable.....oops, I mean he can now be disciplined. We'll see. Had UNI won, Tucker would have been reinstated by Thursday at the latest.
