Re: The Tale Of The Tape?

Panther fans,

As soon as you stop giving this guy the attention he is so desperately seeking, he'll stop posting.

AGAIN, DON'T FEED THE TROLL!

Re: The Tale Of The Tape?

Due to his poor post selection, ban will be taking a break.

Go Panthers! -all Panther teams.

Re: The Tale Of The Tape?

Preposterous. The mark of a good defense is to deny "good shots." MSU has a very good defense. There, too, is a thing called a "shot clock," that is a good defenses best buddy. Good defense+shot clock= inevitable "bad shots." Any respectable analyst would agree. That's how MSU has won more Tourney games than any other University for the past decade plus. Northern played a very respectable game tonight and a few bounces of the ball this way, or a few bounces that way...maybe they win. You should put as much effort into congratulating your team on their success as you do in errantly analyzing them. It's over your head.
NI did amazing things in the Tourney this year. They shocked the world. They're not just a flash in the pan or another Cinderella, but truly a good, well coached team. You should sit back and enjoy your success, because bball analysis isn't in your future.
Also, as a side note, "half a million dollars a year" for a consistent sweet sixteen coach is a bargain by any stretch of the imagination. Do you have any idea what your opponents coach (Izzo) is getting paid per year???
Lets let USA today tell it...
"State's Tom Izzo is pulling down more than $1.7 million. Izzo, for example, will pocket a $4 million bonus if he stays on as the Spartans' coach through April 2010. That's on top of the $5.8 million in bonuses he received in 2006, when his take for the season exceeded $7 million — the highest single-season payout in the study."

Your coach brought you to the big leagues this year...why not follow him and the rest of your fellow fans? They deserve it.

Re: The Tale Of The Tape?

Does it need to? In fact, tell me the athletic program that does. It is for the community, which is FAR more than any other single athletic even brings in.

So where were you at tonight???? I was the one that offered to come to you to watch the game. I offered to buy the first pitcher. YOU didn't even have the courage to tell me where to come meet you.

Now you are talking about Jake??? YOU are NOT a UNI fan, Brad, you are PATHETIC.

Go away. You have proven that you don't care about UNI. YOU are wrong, and should be BANNED.

I am still willing to sit and have a beer with you and explain this to you. I am sure that you will consider this a "threat" because you are spineless loser.

Re: The Tale Of The Tape?

People you are just falling into ban's trap. He is trying to make a point here, as obnoxious and dispicable timing wise as his method may be. He has posted over and over again regarding the wrestling team that the poor performance cannot all be blamed on the coach as so many of the posters on here do. Now he puts the blame on the coach for a bb loss and gets all of you to defend the coach and say he's not to blame.

It's nonsense of course because the two team situations are not at all comparable, but in his mind he's pulled a fast one on you. Jake has just taken the bb team to their greatest season in the history of the program, Penrith has taken the wrestling team to about the lowest point in the history of the program. For Brad to do a comparable job of coaching UNI wrestling would have to win the national championship running away.

Now it looks like TP has given ban a timeout, which is equally stupid to his posting. As someone has said the best response is to not feed the troll and he will go away.

ban is certainly a unique individual. As an adult non UNI alumni he is a huge fan of the wrestling program. In college somewhere in MN he played football. Now we learn basketball was his game in hs. None of it adds up.

Re: The Tale Of The Tape?

GOOD SHOTS! Trust me, as a former basketball player, it is EASY to coach and it wasn't coached tonight.

As a former basketball player and successful coach now myself...you are by far the most idiotic person on this board.

When someone baits the entire fan base with something as absurd as this, a lot of people jump all over it (as you can see). Many of this tirades have needed to be removed. The Mods don't have time to continually read this thread to edit responses. Yes, people should just ignore him, but they don't. I think it's safe to say that ban has contributed very little to nothing of substance on this board.

Re: The Tale Of The Tape?

Actually, a million dollars is what wrestling brings in. Heard of the national duals before, boy?

Love to burst your bubble here, wrestling actually spends more money than it brings in, Those 30 fans at wrestling meets just brings in a whopping ton of money you know. All hail those crotch grabbers! Penrith is a horrible coach and the biggest prick on campus, well after you now, you topped him. We got more fans to UNI baseball games than we do to wrestling meets!

Re: The Tale Of The Tape?

We aren't talking about wrestling. We're talking about a half milliondollar man that should have demanded good shots. That's easy to do.

You are pathetic!

Re: The Tale Of The Tape?

Worth a half a million bucks to not tell them to slow down and take good shots? Well I could do that, and I'm not even worth a half a mllion dollars... We're talking about a half milliondollar man that should have demanded good shots. That's easy to do...Trust me, as a former basketball player, it is EASY to coach and it wasn't coached tonight.

ESPN reported earlier today that Ban is likely to be Gary Barta's choice to replace Todd Lickliter. Barta refused comment but the story said that sources close to Barta said Ban was being hired because after having to pay off Lickliter Iowa feels lucky to find a coach who will work for far less than what any Big 10 coach is being paid and be able to create a high scoring offense that will bring back fans. The source also said that Barta is hoping Ban can do for the Iowa basketball program what he's done for UNI wrestling.

Re: The Tale Of The Tape?

We shoulda fed the big beast more in the 2nd half. Shoulda won that game, even with as poor as our offense was in the 2nd half. Now those yahoos are going to another final four. bastards!
