Tj, unlike fran, did change his defense considerably. He preaches it and expects it. If you don't do it, you don't play. Omaha would still be playing significant minutes for fran because of his lack of high expectations on defense.
You can have 1 Sandfort on a team and be really successful.
Yup. That's the point.
Speaking of Omaha Biliew, I looked at his stats at Wake and it's 5.3 PPG and 2.3 RPG in 13.7 mpg in 3 games. No one mentioned Xavier Foster, but he's tearing up with 2 PPG at Radford in 3 games. I remember thinking losing both was going to sting...
If you had been to either, the answer would be obvious. Winter weather slightly better in Pella, plus Pella is much closer to Des Moines metro than is Ames.
You apparently have never been there? Is has a very nice downtown area. Also, Pella is near Lake Red Rock which has a very nice bike trail. I don’t live there, but it’s also home to Central College…if you want to watch some D3 sporting events.
You’re talking to the wrong person, as I’ve been a lifetime hater of all things Moo U. I hope their sports teams eventually languish in ambivalence in the Little 12 conference.
I've been to both towns. You're splitting hairs about the weather. It's exactly the same.
If you've been in both towns you'd know any comparison is not a good one outside each having a d3 school.
Hey, I’m also a fellow BVer, so I know all about Storm Lake and D3 sports. 😉. I’m just saying, if I lived in a smaller town, I would prefer one with a college as it offers more opportunities for things to attend…sports, plays, concerts, etc vs a town with no college. Regarding weather patterns in Iowa…it may be “splitting hairs” but there is some difference in weather (gets slightly warmer/less snow) from Highway 20…to Highway 30…to Interstate 80. I recall several times last couple winters where Ames had more snow/ice vs Des Moines area.
I was comparing Pella to Ames (which was the earlier/original comparison), b4 another poster brought up Storm Lake. Anyway, by most measures Pella is a superior town vs Ames. It’s cleaner, closer to Des Moines metro, better weather (albeit slightly), great bakeries/meat markets/restaurants, and near a nice lake/bike trails/recreational area. And best of all, not as many iswho fans! 😜
We have good places to eat. If the Hickory place or whatever you call it is the best restaurant you have then that’s laughable. It sucks compared to other Smoked BBQ places that I have eaten at.
I was simply talking about those coaches and the way they are much more caustic in their demeanor with the refs than McCaffery is, but he gets the reputation for being a hot head and they others are just coaching their team hard.
And that Iowa has pretty much split the last ten games with the all-mighty clowns and they would have to win 18 in a row to even the overall series.
Hell of a lot smaller too, homeslice. It's actually an apples to tacos comparison. Makes no sense really. Just funny to me that someone living in Pella would thumb their nose at Ames. It's actually pretty f ckin hilarious.
It is pretty hilarious that a shithole city like Ames can’t stack up to a small city like Pella. Maybe you grew up there and still like it. And I don’t care. Shitty people live in shithole cities.
