Iowa State sucks. I can't believe how terrible they are.

That Evansville game scares me a little more after beating WSU, then sending the game to OT tonight at Wichita

Wyoming was blown out at New Mexico, and Northern Illinois lost.

Re: Games of interest 2/17/10

i am starting to think that Mac might get fired. they ahve mailed it in, and there is little hope on the horizon. remember that huge thread we had back in fall when I said that Iowa wasnt that much worse than ISU? i got blasted for it from every direction, but I stand by my statement. Theres no way ISU could have won in iowa city this year.

ISU was better in the fall. Iowa was horrible. Iowa has gotten a little better and ISU has gotten worse.

ISU>UI fall UI>ISU 2010

UNI way > ISU/UI whole year.

I can't say I would blame ISU for cutting ties with Mac at this point. This team can't even see the bubble from where they are at, and things are only going to get worse.

When Brackins leaves, its almost impossible to imagine Mac having a more talented team than he had this year, and he only has a couple of conference wins to show for it.

Re: Games of interest 2/17/10

I will be the only one defending Mac, he is going through a tough year. They lost 3 "Key" players due to injuries (2starters) I do believe. They also had to dismiss one player for several reasons. And they lost another player because he wanted to go back home and play professionally.

that will cause any team to breakdown and have a rough year. They have had a lot of issues, but they are still playing decent basketball. In their last 4 games their losses have been by a combine 12pts. They are playing good basketball, just have not been able to get over the hump. IF brackins stays and they get vanderbeeken, boozer, and some of their other players healthy, they will be VERY tough. I think ISU is a good PG away from being very good this year.

And no matter what, ISU would still KILL iowa no matte what. Iowa only scored 40pts vs purdue the other day. Iowa is not getting better, they are just getting lucky some games down the stretch. If anyone watched the Michigan the other night, you would know, Iowa will not win another game this year. Lick is gonna have to go, the players are having no fun and i believe several of them might transfer at years end.

you are blind if you think iowa isnt getting better. they scored 70 on tuesday. purdue is one of the best defensive teams in the country, of course they are gonna struggle to score on the road. i also think it is awesome how you can read the minds of the players. i agree that lick will end up getting canned in a year or two, but you are way off base.

ISU was better than iowa last year and Iowa pasted them in iowa city. it wasnt even close.

Re: Games of interest 2/17/10

Can we at least agree that it doesn't do UNI a damned bit of good to have both these programs as bad as they are?

Re: Games of interest 2/17/10

What the **** is going on with Texas? Talk about the wheels falling off the bus. One or two more losses and they are seriously on the bubble.

Re: Games of interest 2/17/10

yeah I would definitely say that having the other in-state schools suck hurts UNI. we arent going to head to head for many recruits so i would rather have the RPI boost. although the current situation is likely helping UNI win over some fans.

Re: Games of interest 2/17/10

On paper you would like to think the Iowa/ISU games every year are two chances for quality wins. Sure hasn't been the case lately.

Well Iowa has improven over the course of the year. Now if you look at the 3yr program, we are getting worse. I don't care about individual years, I care how the program as a whole is doing. Iowa is on a downward spiral and will continue while lickliter is there. At least UNI is guaranteed one win every year, Iowa!
