Old Dominion White Out

Re: Old Dominion White Out

ODU is traveling by private plane to CF. Good thing for them since none of their players apparently know where Iowa is. One even thought we were somewhere near California. Interesting, considering they played Bradley just last year and that is only one state over.

Love the comment "hope there isn't snow" Nah, not much-western Iowa has had much more this winter.

Wow that is really really sad. I don't think they should be thanking their local sports guys for highlighting their stellar educational backgrounds...

Re: Old Dominion White Out

It was a joking around 30 second clip for a local sports roundup. He asked them if they know where Northern Iowa is. What are they supposed to say, yes? That wouldn't be very humorous.

Maybe they can point it out on a map and maybe they can't, but either way, it was a lighthearted bit, not intended to be a referendum on public education.

Besides, Gerald Lee is from Finland so he gets a pass on not knowing where Iowa is.

I know where Finland is....

Re: Old Dominion White Out

I doubt a majority of Northern Iowa players could point Finland out on a map.

I don't doubt that.


However, a European country should be harder to find on a map than another state within your country. Apparently Geography isn't taught out east. Do most of you realize that there is actully part of the US between the Appalachians and California?

How many players on Old Dominion besides Lee could?

I bet our 7-0 freshman (who is redshirting) from Denmark could.

Please tell me you derelicts are "man" enough to come back and have a nice slice of humble pie when the Panthers roll the Monarchs?

Are you man enough to honor your 14-point prediction?

Well, no one ever said basketball players are the smartest people on the earth.

I'll give Gerald Lee a bit of a pass since he's from Finland.

I personally believe that U.S. Americans are unable to do so because, uh, some people out there in our nation don't have maps and, uh, I believe that our, uh, education like such as, uh, South Africa and, uh, the Iraq, everywhere like such as, and, I believe that they should, our education over here in the U.S. should help the U.S., uh, or, uh, should help South Africa and should help the Iraq and the Asian countries, so we will be able to build up our future, for our children

Maybe ODU players should take this test...

How do you not know where a state is? And it looks like the one guy might NOT get his wish of no snow. Not too much though...

Trust me, I'm very good at geography.

It has no real reflection of ODU at all.

The basketball team is about basketball.

That's just how it is with sports that make money.
