Heads22

Here's a fun one on this from an Insight Bowl person:

QUOTE (Jimbo's Drinker @ Dec 2, 2009 -> 10:29 PM) Throwing cabbages at you, ISU sucks we all know this. Did you just play ring around the perimeter shooting 3's again. We do lead the nation in 3 pt percentage, but I want to say we shot like 14 of them. UNI took it to Brackins and Gilstrap and dominated. I thought McDermott was supposed to be an awesome big man coach?

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Dec 3, 2009 -> 10:11 AM) Well, really, they are kinda right. ISU should not be selected to a higher level bowl game than Mizzou, this season. That would be absurd. I mean, I'd love it for ISU, but its not really very fair. Iowa State is often an afterthought to the conference (in football) anyway, given the school's history of just not being very good, and not having the type of fan draw that some of the other schools have. Plus, ISU has more stringent academic standards than most if not all of the conference, which tends to handicap them, and the conference may not like that ISU is "different" that way. They're right and you're right. However, they took a ton of fans last time. The point being is why does the commish of the conference say anything at all? There's no obligation in the Big 12 bowl agreements according to record. All the conference schools split up bowl revenue anyways. It should matter one iota to Beebe who the Insight takes. His job should be marketing the conference on a national scale, not marketing one school over another. Why does he not mention that an A&M team that is also 6-6 would also be selected to the Independence Bowl over Mizzou? Or that a 7 win OU team would get selected 3 spots ahead? Too bad the Big 10 would never take ISU.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Dec 3, 2009 -> 08:23 AM) Nebraska gets to play in two bowl games? Must be nice. Ha one was supposed to be Oklahoma. Gotta love the Big 12 though, where the commish publicly says that Mizzou should be picked over ISU. Gotta love how the Big 12 doesn't give a s*** about us, whether its right or not.

QUOTE (Brian @ Dec 2, 2009 -> 09:01 PM) How's Chris Colvin been playing? Like a freshman. A little out of control, lightning quick.

And Northern Iowa wins 63-60 at Hilton. What a joke. McDermott outcoached again.

Greg McDermott getting outcoached again...ISU fans starting to get very critical of him.

Haha, reports that the Big 12 bowls will go like this: NC: Texas Cotton: Oklahoma State Holiday: Nebraska Alamo: Tech Sun: Nebraska Insight: Iowa State Independence: Texas A&M Texas: Mizzou Some Mizzou rep was interviewed in the KC Star and apparently the Insight committee is "suddenly enamored" with ISU. Might be a good sign for Iowa to the Fiesta as well, as I would imagine they'd try and get fans of both teams to stay for a week in Az.

Mangino just has to be fired after this latest, "second degree burns" story.

I'm 22, been employed through various state agencies and held other jobs and I've never been tested.

Apparently NW is semi decent.

Sounds like Georgia to the Indy Bowl. Wouldn't mind Shreveport now, that'd be a fun opponent that would probably destroy us.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Nov 30, 2009 -> 01:03 PM) Iowa/PSU are going to the Orange Bowl. I believe that is the first bowl that will be picking this year and they want one of the Big 10 schools. You think they'll take either school over TCU?

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Nov 28, 2009 -> 10:29 PM) Finally killed my 1st deer on Thursday. Been hunting for 5 years now and I got big doe. The venison will never taste better. Really? I thought you had gotten one by now. Congrats. Post pictures. I may not be able to hunt this year.

QUOTE (danman31 @ Nov 28, 2009 -> 10:34 PM) Layers and hand warmers though cold in 50s means you were probably just under dressed. Booze helps. Dressing in layers, a good hat and GOOD GLOVES make all the difference, though in the 50's a jacket with pockets for your hands should be all you need.

QUOTE (Jimbo's Drinker @ Nov 28, 2009 -> 09:05 PM) well that is the last we will hear from Heads from awhile Gilstrap and Brackins just disappeared from sight for a while.

straight up outplayed and outcoached.

QUOTE (Jimbo's Drinker @ Nov 28, 2009 -> 08:23 PM) I cant tell whats funnier: the fact you are in a close game with NW or the fact you are complaining about calls against a cruddy team like NW. We can't buy a basket. Calls have evened out. Officials were bad last night as well.

QUOTE (Jimbo's Drinker @ Nov 28, 2009 -> 07:53 PM) The game looks like a high school girls game. All the teams can do is shoot 3's. They call more fouls in a high school girls game. I think they called two fouls on Northwestern the entire half.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Nov 28, 2009 -> 07:48 PM) What a garbage first half. The players, coaching and officiating were all complete trash in that half. What a suck fest. Why are you watching ISU-NW?

Guess I can't be too disappointed with a 39-34 halftime lead with Shurna going off for 17 of Northwestern's first 22.

John Shurna, how the f***?

All sorts of hate in this matchup.
