Would have loved to be a fly on the wall listening to this conversation.
Why is that lady flipping us off?
I noticed this and had the same reaction. I also tired about how he kept going on about Walton committing to Michigan before Monte could as if it was obvious a recruit would chose them over us. Is this even true about Monte? I don't think I ever heard it and he was committed to us for a long time before signing.
It's obvious from this thread that I'm in the minority, and the pub was overall great for ISU, so I guess it's all good.
Mad? I'm just warning you guys. He has praised Allen and taken pictures with fans on numerous occasions. He gave Nick Collison a standing ovation in one of his big games. I don't think he's evil or anything. Just know that after he leaves the building he goes back to his old, annoying habits. He only wants to hear himself talk, and the only thoughts running through his brain in most games are about two programs and goofy catch phrases.
Seems like Vitale liked what he saw. Put Iowa State @ 13 in his AP ballot, one spot above Michigan.

Good for Vitale. I was alittle surprised we weren't ranked higher in the AP. Or coaches for that matter. Doesn't mean much I guess. It just wasn't a flukey game were we hit crazy shots all night. Played them straight up and looked good doing it.
After reading Chris W's musings column I have officially "Buried The Hatchet" re Dickie V, I always held it against him because he wouldn't do a game at Hilton Coliseum because of some old grudge he had with Johnny Orr, which I thought was ridiculous.
I'm very happy that Dickie came to Hilton so we could have a 2 hour informercial..
Way to go Cyclones, beating number seven Michigan was a heck of a way to start the basketball season.

I've heard that he always wanted to play at Michigan and they were his first choice.
I think this may be the biggest thing to come out of his visit to Hilton. He now has seen first hand that Freddie and our program are legit, and he brings instant national credibility and attention. Stay on the bandwagon Dickie V! He can be over the top, but I'd love for him to come back and call the ISU-KU game on Big Monday!
I'd buy that. Top in-state prospect wanting to stay home where his name is more known. Glad he came here, though! Did Michigan not offer?
