Go ahead and get the NIT signs ready for the floor, hell, just make NIT permanent for this garbage program!
- Thread starter Roy L Fuchs
- Start date
The best would be if they lost in the NCAA finals on a last second shot and Roy comes back and says "SEE!! I told you this team sucked but no one would listen to me!!"
In all seriousness, any barbs and insults leveled @Roy L Fuchs for his "contributions" here are likely very well deserved. He'd rather be a troll than a dedicated Hawkeye fan, so eff him. His OP sure has aged well.
Actually, great program and it has been for years.
Please go home to Ames AND WATCH THAT OFFENSIVE JUGGERNAUT
Everything you said, including the part about Roy still whining, has been factual. Well done.
Meh. The people that head hunt for those days just to finally get their chance to say "see I told you so" need to get a pie shoved in their face at a random time of the day every day for the rest of their lives.
Then and only then will I tolerate them continuing to complain and cry with their daily pessimistic outlooks.
Well, like I said, that knife cuts both ways. Whenever Iowa wins a game, the other side is out there calling people out, too. See it all the time. I can find more constructive ways to celebrate a victory than stirring the pot. I'm a "the truth is somewhere in the middle" kind of guy. Things are rarely ever as good (or as bad) as they may seem in the moment.
I don't disagree that there are some people who are never happy, though. It gets kind of ridiculous.
Mmm.....our offense in football was very bad last year. There's no gray area around that.
P.S. Also, I still like the idea of pessimists getting a pie to the face every day for the rest of their lives. It would make me feel better at least.
I am a pessimist by nature. Do I get to dictate the manner by which said pie is introduced to my face?
And of course, being a pessimist, I strongly expect your answer to that question to be “no”…
I'm glad I personally motivated the team to get their shit together. However, this team hasn't won a game yet in the NCAA tourney this year, so let's hold off on the celebration. We haven't made the second weekend of the NCAA tourney in about 100 years, so I'm not overly optimistic. History would suggest we piss down our leg in the first game against someone like Loyola, Chicago.
Yeah, great program. What do we have, about 2 NCAA victories in the past 10 years....that is the definition of great. It's the definition of SHIT! This year exceeded my expectations but lets see if we can make it out of the first weekend for the first time in 100 years before we go overboard in celebrating our greatness.
WELL, DAMMIT, GET THESE DAMN BICYCLISTS OFF THE ROAD TOO! DRESSED UP LIKE THEY'RE IN THE DAMN TOUR DE FRANCE, NOT FOLLOWING TRAFFIC LAWS! F THEM! I TAP THEIR REAR WHEEL WITH MY BUMPER AND SEND THOSE BIKE RIDING BASTARDS INTO THE DITCH!
Let's make it out of the first weekend for the first time since Moses parted the sea, then we'll see who chokes down a crow. Odds are our weak 3point defense magically arrives just in time for the first game and some dorky white kid from Winthrop, who has only made two 3-pointers all year, goes 8-9 sending us packing.
I thought Iowa wasn't making the NCAA tournament?
You seem very angry and unhappy. Have you considered edibles washed down with a nice cabernet or perhaps a Guinness if that's your preference?
If you are actually an Iowa Fan you must be a miserable person to watch a game with lol.
I think most Iowa fans understand this team has limitations and making it to the second weekend is a tall order, especially because we will likely be a 6/7 seed.
However, the fun of cheering for a team like Iowa is to have hope when things are going well.
Being a “realist” when it comes to Iowa sports makes for miserable sports watching experience because chances are you will be correct and Iowa will not make it to the second weekend.
Even a blind squirrel finds an acorn once in a while.Everything you said, including the part about Roy still whining, has been factual. Well done.
Unfortunately, it really has become true with the joke about, "When _____ cheats, Directional U pays the price".
In Roy's defense, my group text crew and I were saying a nice NIT run could be a good springboard for next season. We were saying when the Hawks were 5-0. So this late season run has been a pleasant surprise.
But, like someone said elsewhere, to get out of first weekend of NCAA, Hawks need a bigger "favor" than a "good matchup". We need to be a 5/6/7 seed playing a 13/11/10 who has pulled the first round upset instead of the buzzsaw 4/3/2 seed who comes in motivated as heel because they're under-seeded.

Damn - You raise the bar faster than my wife does. So we go from not a top 10 team in the B1G and an NIT team to not your threshold is now making the 2nd week in the tournament. Holy crap. Just admit your initial post was idiocy.
Roy just being Roy! I come hear for entertainment and one thing Roy is good at is wild observations about are basketball program and making me lol.
Roy keep doing you!
Roy keep doing you!
If only there was a way to castrate the Fran haters and record it and air on tv during commercial breaks during games.
Tark said it best:
The NCAA is so mad at Kentucky they're going to give Cleveland State another year of probation
