Note to students tonight (especially Griff)

Re: Note to students tonight (especially Griff)

I didn't do the BS chant, but really wanted too. Why can't the painted fans yell at the Hawk cheerleaders. Why did they have to go stand right infront of them?

lenz...i dont know who exactly was doing it, but i guess they were throwing some very inappropriate sexual orientation insults, telling them to move, being rude, and what not...this is after our own cheerleaders told most of us in the first couple rows to treat them with respect and class...the painted peeps did not obey.

Re: Note to students tonight (especially Griff)

what conference were they from?

I wasnt cheering for iowa or UNI tonight, and I didnt see them favoring any one team. a couple of those calls on Tate were phantom...but that is nothing new to Tate. he is a whiner and is always on the refs' bad side. i was confused on the foul in the open court and i also thought gorney's intentional was a little weak.

really, tell us who u were really going for....we can't tell.

How bout the time when Josten was tackled to the floor and called for an intentional foul...that was classic

Did you watch the game on tv? Josten was not tackled. The ball was deflected by the Iowa guard with the long gangly arms and then josten flew over and put his arm right into that guys chest as he was about to break for the lay up. Quit *****ing. Gorney was going for the ball more than josten was in that situation. Josten lost his balance and ended on the ground. We got handled on our court by Iowa. Johnson, Freeman, and that freshman are all good shooters it's not like a 3 point shooter just showed up out of nowhere. Getting beat happens. Learn from defeats and change course from the setback suffered tonight. Hopefully a downward trend does not continue. I just get frustrated with people complaining, you get beat you get beat, the free throw shooting killed us end of story.

I'm not trying to defend what they said, but I'm trying to figure out why they got put infront of the student section. Does that happen a lot. I really have no idea. This, honestly, was my time in Mc Center.

"Gorney's intentional foul was a little weak"

are you serious? That may have been an unsportsmanlike tackle if this game was played next door in the dome(football)....

uh, what? the refs were terrible all the way around. on tv, which you likely didnt see, gorney got JJ with the body first and he went flying. i thought it was a little weak. Gorney has 100 pounds on him.

i didnt care who won. probably UNI, since it hurt uni more than it helped iowa. but it was good to get freeman back. i gave away my tickets to UNI fans.

Re: Note to students tonight (especially Griff)

The way Gorney swung down at him, and didn't go for the ball made it intentional

Re: Note to students tonight (especially Griff)

i just watched the DVR and agree with you. it was the right call.

Re: Note to students tonight (especially Griff)

Just got back to West Des Moines. Had to ride back with 2 Hawkeye fans. First off, if we win the game against Iowa - let the students rush the court. You want to know why? Because Iowa will only be here twice during the time that they are students - and per Lickliter - it may not be even twice in the future. Don't take away their dream of celebrating a victory at home versus Iowa or Iowa State when they're a student.
For those of us who are no longer students, it's easy to poo-poo (yes, I just said that) the antics of these kids, but remember - these students are the ones who make up Jake's Jungle - these students create much of the Dome magic we've seen. We need the rowdiness and the antics and the enthusiasm so that when opposing teams come in they are struck with how loud that half of the court is and how hard it is to hear the snap count. I understand that it makes some people uneasy and that it seems demeaning to our school at times; but as long as we keep the energy going and nudge it towards the positive I think the UNI fan base will stick around through the lean years as well as the championship years.
PS - 2 of the refs tonight were good. But there was one ref who looked like he definitely had money riding on this one. Congrats to the Hawks - we're coming to your house next year to pluck the dirty birds.

The one that looked like he had a wig on? I was sitting by my two roomates and one of them said something about Tim Donahey but I didn't catch it right away, but when I had time to think about it I found it funny as hell. He def could have had money hiding under that "hair style"

That would be the one - the guy wearing the hair-hat.

Re: Note to students tonight (especially Griff)

yeah, the refs made some bad calls.
but they made bad calls going both ways.
and even if the refs called the game perfectly, we wouldn't have won.
UNI just didn't play very well tonight. Period.

That would be the grey haired mullet wearing dolt of a ref.

Re: Note to students tonight (especially Griff)

Good game stripes...good game.

It wasn't the quanity of the fouls that they called, because Iowa had more called...it was the quality of the noncalls/bad calls they made.

But if we convert even half our free throws we win.

Also where the hell did this 3 point shooting come from for Iowa

Are you really blaming the referees?

You really annoy the hell out me! Not rooting for either team
give me a f$$$ing break.
