Re: O'Rear out for the season

I feel really bad for Lucas. This really bites to have this happen now, in the middle of your senior year. It's disappointing for us fans, but he's gotta be feeling pretty low.

Thanks for the amazing memories, kid, and best of luck to you in the future.

Re: O'Rear out for the season

Just my two cents.........but I don't like this idea. Give Luke a standing ovation at a time that is appropriate (senior night, and maybe others).

That said, if one of our kids makes a great hustle play, cheer that kid.

Agreed.

He'll be there on Senior Night vs InSU -- which could now possibly be for a share of the title, at the very least a huge game -- and I guarantee it will be one of the loudest, most memorable, emotional, teery-eyed moments in Mcleod Center history.

Don't fabricate moments beyond that. Things are only cool/touching when they're organic.

We need to create an Interluke dance. One of the steps could be "Combing the mullet."

Re: O'Rear out for the season

This just really sucks.. but, I think last night goes to show that we have the people to crash the boards (AJ) and we can have some "abrasive" players (Sonnen). I think this is something that we can over come.. it'll just be difficult to replace the experience that he has on the floor.

Re: O'Rear out for the season

Huh? How is yelling Luuuuuuuuuuuke! any different than yelling yaaah! You are still cheering the guy who makes the play.

Because its lame. And I 100% guarantee Lucas would think its inappropriate. Give credit to the kids on the floor making plays. If they learned from ORear's example, then that is awesome!!

Did anyone see/hear the "Norrrrmmmmm" chants at the Iowa vs Wisconsin football game this year? The PA announcer and scoreboard would tell people to yell "Norrrrmmmmm" on big 3rd downs or big defensive plays... by the end of the game it was one of the bigger jokes amongst the crowd.

Again, honor Luke in an organic, logical way. Fabricating ways to do it is ridiculous and completely unnecessary.

Re: O'Rear out for the season

Remember that alley oop dunk he had in the beginning of the ODU game? Then had another one later that game where he was pretty much parallel to the floor?

Re: O'Rear out for the season

I read this at work this morning. This sucks. Guys need to step up now more than ever. This is were a team really needs to rally together, rely on each other, and become a TEAM.

Is this a serious question? I'm not that great of a writer, but I will give this a shot.

In the first instance, you are yelling the name of another player who is sitting on the bench and really had nothing to do with the play. In the second, you are yelling and cheering in a traditional way that could be directed at any player, and given the circumstances, is obviously directed at the player who made the play.

Also, as MadCat says, its lame.

Or it could be the rallying cry to continue to work to make plays like that....

Re: O'Rear out for the season

First off, thanks Luke for everything you've given to UNI. You've done many of the little things that would never make a highlight reel but are necessary for a team to win. Good luck with the baseball career and hope to see you in the bigs in a couple of years.

Now for the matter at hand. Does Jake go with a 4 guard and Koch lineup the rest of the way? I don't see him playing Pehl more than 2-3 minutes per game now. We'll see more of Rank subbing in for Jake Koch but I have a bad feeling we are going to be a very short team for the rest of the season.
