Re: The Tale Of The Tape?

I was waiting for someone to bring that up...why in the hell didn't Jordan stay in that game? Jacobsen may have just got and extension and increase in pay, but he screwed the pooch against MSU.

Upon further review, there is no basis for the ban folks, which is what I argued.

Posting something controversial or unpopular should never be the basis for banning a poster. And, yes, I still say they took poor shots all game long. The statistics bear that out.

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

I thought you said you were leaving last week?

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!

You know what I think....

we played loose and very good in the first half. In the second half you could almost feel the tension from both teams. The Panthers did play tight and played not to lose. Forced some bad shots. IZZO made some nice adjustments at half as well. MSU and Lucious got lucky and made a few doozies. We had a few free throws and threes barely rim out. This game came down to inches. Win some you lose some. Panthers have no reason to feel anything but pride about the MSU game. They played their hearts out.

I for one am not going to be in the least bit critical of this team. They played tight for 1/4 of one half and still almost won. I am very impressed at how fearless they played for 2 and 3/4 games.

Personally I could not be that fearless for 1/8 of one game.

Very proud and very impressed.

Congrats panthers you deserve it!!!!

Ban...

Where exactly are these "statistics" that show we took a lot of bad shots? I would like to see MSU's statistics showing their good shots. Just because we shot poorly doesn't mean that they were necessarily bad shots. I agree that we had some, but that isn't the reason we lost. The reason we lost is because we couldn't make any of them. The MSU defense was doing it's job and forcing us to take bad shots. Do you really think Kwadzo likes to shoot off balance while falling away from the hoop? I'm sure he would rather shoot another way.

Also, you talk about Jacobsen telling them to stop taking bad shots. So if he had mentioned that somewhere in the huddle, you would be completely fine with how he coached the game? I'm just trying to get this down. You weren't in the huddle. You weren't there during timeouts. You weren't even in St. Louis. How do you know what Jacobsen told them and what he didn't? You have no idea.

Go back to watching wrestling. You and 25 other people are the only ones who can watch the pathetic display that Penrith keeps putting out on the mat.

As for bringing in a million dollars......I would like to know where you get this information. My fiance is a Special Events Coordinator and Supervisor for the UNIDome and McLeod Center. I will let you know that there is not a single event that brings in anywhere close to that. I will try to get some actual numbers from her so I can put you in your place.

Keep on being a d-bag Ban....

If Penrith was half the coach Jacobsen is, we wouldn't be talking about firing him every single week. We wouldn't finish 40 something at nationals. We wouldn't lose our conference. We wouldn't have a bad recruiting class. We wouldn't lose by 30-40 against every real opponet out there.

Agree, and I already stated that banning you was stupid. The minority opinion has a right to be heard on a message board no matter how ridiculous it might be. You were not personally attacking the team or coach.

Now those people who openly call for dropping wrestling, and call the wrestlers names such as crotch grabbers or whatever, they deserve to be banned.

This place does tend to exercise oppression by the majority from time to time.

I'm with you on that. I thought the banning of the UNLV idiots was silly too. No they weren't adding anything of "value" to the conversation but 90% of message board talk is non-value conversation. Time to lighten up folks.

As I said before, to the Cedar Valley, not to mention the ticket sales. There's a reason why UNI keeps bidding on keeping the national duals here.

Well, I basically am, but I was specifically referring to the forum where we "discuss" wrestling. Aside from there, I really don't post on here.

No need for worry, I'll be out soon...

Are you basically saying that you will be gone when Penrith is fired?

I can agree with taking action against calling wrestlers names.
But I don't see how discussing the option of dropping wrestling should lead to a ban. If that is the case, then anyone who rants about Title IX should also get banned.

You know and I know that there are a lot of people associated with UNI wrestling that will do everything in their power to keep the program alive.

But, in the case of this poster, the only arguments are that we lose because of the facilities (which will never change), the fact that we can't beat Iowa and Iowa State for recruits (which will never change), the budget (which will never change), and my personal favorite, that we have always sucked so we should just expect to suck and be OK with it.

If that is the case, then we are throwing a lot of money at a program that will do nothing to enhance the reputation of the university. In a time where we need every available penny, and of course Title IX, there can be no denying that wrestling is in a tenuous position at best.

I am sure that the toothless extension that Dannen gave Penrith was to not have to undertake another coaching search. Because of that, I really think that the Athletic Department is looking at a scenario of a UNI Athletic Program without wrestling.
