Is nobody else excited for ISU tomorrow, or what?!?

[Victory_For_UNI]

How many good story lines do we have here? Let's see....

1. Return of Mac
2. Mac's 1st visit to the Mac
3. ISU has a decent team (relatively speaking), as do we.
4. IT'S IOWA STATE!!

I think this will be a measuring stick game, as Iowa State will probably finish mid to upper-mid pack in the Big 12 this year. They have some decent shooters, and an okay big man game, and I'm excited to see how our guys stack up TOMORROW NIGHT!!

I agree that this is a measuring stick game for sure.

What does everybody think the reaction for coach Mac will be tommorrow night?

You had me until you got to the bold part. Otherwise, good points. Let's take it to these guys.

I don't think this is going to happen.

I know a lot of other people don't agree with me, but Coach Mac should get a good reception from us. He is who built our program to what it is we need to appreciate that fact and welcome him back even though he didn't leave us the best way and went to another in state school.

I do think this should be a good game. And this should show us where we stand as I think Iowa State is on the same level as some of the upper echelon valley teams this year.

let's not be the first MVC team to lose to Mac at ISU. He's currently 0-6 isn't he?

Based on ticket sales from what I can tell online...

There are a couple seatbacks available (they weren't last week), and there are some lower level bleacher seats. That's not a good sign that there will be anything close to a sellout. I can't expect alot of walk-ups for $40/ticket. Let's hope the students show up in large numbers and can fill the bleachers.

A real tough battle and big measuring stick. If Jake has the kids sold on owning the home court, we should see it tomorrow. I worry about ISUs 3 point shooting. You know someone always gets hot against us and lights it up.

Ali...I hope you are still feeling it...

Won't happen... More like lower and very slight chance at middle of the big 12. If we finish upper-mid, I would be shocked.

The same thing happens to us.

Yes.

Exactly. He showed a real lack of respect for his alma mater, and I don't feel like we owe him anything.

I think it will be a good game...not because both teams are good but quite the opposite...both teams seem like they are young and not very good...we just barely beat UC-Davis and had a meltdown in Hawaii... If i was a betting man, id put my money on the panthers.

Hopefully i'm wrong,

I hate getting drawn back into this argument but I can tell you if someone offered to triple (or was it quadruple) my salary and still stay close to my family, it would be an easy decision. Oh and also have access to better facilities and have more tv exposure and a bigger budget.
