Guess the state is a three trick pony!

Each team beats a #1 team at home. The consecutive games hitting streak in MLB probably gets beat before that happens again.

Five number one teams have lost this year and three of them happened inside the iowa border.

Crazy.

Iowa State and Iowa might both get another chance.

Well, the Panthers are probably around 89th.

And after UNI gets a big win on Wednesday . . . on their way to winning the MVC tournament . . . and eventually getting another shot at a #1 themselves.

I love your consistent positive outlook. It's a breath of fresh air.

I've been an Iowa State fan for 12 years . . . and a Cubs fan for 30 years . . . sometimes positive is all you have!

Plus, as a fan, it is not really any fun focusing on the negative.

I've said it often that you can't be there for the big games if you . . . aren't there!

My only regret last night was not bringing champagne for an impromptu tailgate after the Cyclones win over #1 Oklahoma. I had it for the big football win over Oklahoma State a few years ago! That was really fun last night. Looking forward to another great time on Wed night in Cedar Falls.

Never hurts to get your name mentioned repeatedly on national broadcasts. One guy even said that UNI is 2-0 against #1 ranked teams.

Kansas 6 Cyclones 2 17:31 1st half. Kansas 43 Iowa State 36 Half time. Iowa State 77 Kansas 67 2:14 2nd half. Jayhawks are tired. Iowa State 85 Kansas 72 final.

The UNI win over Iowa State just keeps looking better and better. The Cyclones really turned it on tonight.

Re: *2015-16 CBB non-UNI games*

The win over ISU is meaningless at this point, as is the win over UNC. Their only value is giving the players a story to tell their grandkids some day about how they beat two top 5 teams. Leave out the part about not being able to beat anybody else.

And now I see Iowa is ranked #3 in the country after coming in third in the state of Iowa.

This is the nightmare season from hell.

Both the UNC and ISU wins are potential positives as far as recruiting. I don't mean head to head against both schools, but just as a selling point. Someone could use the "a player like you could help us be more consistent" line, or something like that.

Also, coming in third in the state of Iowa...now that's pretty close to being meaningless. In state success is nice, but it's blown away and completely trumped by national recognition, NCAA Tourney wins, etc.

Re: *2015-16 CBB non-UNI games*

I have a question about ISU's win last night from a sports fans perspective. Its actually something that has always bothered me.

Kansas will drop in the polls, maybe not a ton but they will. If Kansas drops to 10th, will ISU fans count the KU win as a top 5 win, or a top 10 win? If they count KU as a top 5 win, can they count Iowa as a top 5 win?

Do we count ISU as a top 5 win or a win against (insert wherever current ranking is) team?

Its just always something that bothers me about rankings. People want it both ways.
