Apparently one of them didn't like my "football school" joke.

I did enjoy the one that said their best chance is to try to run in the game. Of course I always love it when people think they'll beat us that way. Isn't that right, Arkansas?

Out of fear they could probably round up 22 guys on campus and beat us, let's not.

Hey-O!

After reading a few different threads on that forum, I really think that would be a fun school to hit up a pep rally/ or pre game bar with!

I love the comment "ISU is an elite team but not an elite athletic team". That is someone that hasn't seen ISU play. You simply can't play at the tempo the Cyclones do without having a very athletic team. I can't wait for them to see BDJ and McKay throwing down showtime dunks on their boys.

I just hope they don't push us out of our walk-up-the-court mentality, or we could be in trouble.

If Texas, Oklahoma, and Kansas can't wake us up for the beginning of the game, I think we'll see the sleepwalking Cyclones for another consecutive game. Just hope we can keep the 2nd half magic adjustments going.

Just needs to swap out "athletic" for "defensive" and he will sound pretty knowledgable.

UAB's only shot here is to play very efficient offense and just hope that we can't click on the other end.

I imagine they will really try to slow the game down and limit possessions. I guess they won't crash the boards so they can get us in half-court offense, if they respect our transition game, so they'll have a lot of one-shot possessions. If they want to keep it close, they'll need to convert a lot of those.

The majority of high seeded teams will always be excited and think they can match up. It's the excitement of making the tournament . That's what makes this time of the year great. Anything can happen on a given day. I am sure there are message boards with 15 seeds liking their draw. All part of the greatest month in sports

UAB isn't Texas, Oklahoma and Kansas. If UAB puts together the first halves those teams did; cap tip to them but I think ISU will be razor focused.

UAB fans are saying the same things this year that NCC fans said last year and Iowa State was ready and ran NCC out of the building. Fred is the guy leading the charge about "hanging a banner" and UAB thinks ISU is going to overlook them? Child Please.

This should be true, but ISU has had more "wake up calls" this year than a Holiday Inn Express.

The ability of this fan base to detect trolling is pathetic. Been like that for years, especially this site.... Unless BBHMagic is doing a double troll, in which case well done (golf clap)...

I don't know anything about trolling, but did you see the last post?! They think we sing to it in Des Moines! And our alma mater is called "I Owe Io-way"!!!

From what I can tell, their forum has no "like" button.

Also, I have a buddy who's an athlete over there (until they dismantle their program as well) who has told me their two friends on the team have come out and said they have no chance and aren't even going to their film sessions or practices and the coach is fine with it.

Remember when people on here were worried about NCC last year? Remember how that turned out?

This will be a blowout, not even close.

"Io-way" is actually the correct original Native American pronunciation, it means "This is the place" or "the beautiful land."
