17. Hoo boy.
One of the reasons I barely go over to GD anymore. There's no such thing as rational discussion anymore.

3. Either unconscious, out partying, or piss drunk?
It is Friday night, after all.

16. NO EXCUSES! I'm piss-drunk, but I still manage to be here!
These KIDS today, with their fancy-pants FRIENDS and their interesting 'social lives'...

Bah! HUMBUG!

4. Apparently everyone else has a life
Or they had a party and didn't invite us. Bleh. I worked late today. I'm going out to play tomorrow night. I'm not a TOTAL loser. (yeah)

7. It really gets quiet
this time of night. Good for a work environment, but not for a message board.

9. Hey, any chance the Hawks can get an NCAA bid?
Hijacking the thread, I know....

If they win against Michigan tomorrow & make some noise in the Big 10 tourney, what do you think??????

13. It could happen
I hope the Gophers make noise in the Big 10 tourney. Illinois will make it to the final four! Which bodes well for the conference.

18. If they'd win a few games in the tourney
yeah they could squeak in. I'm just tired of Steve Alfraud and the way he's handled the program. The way he was being billed when he came in here he was going to make us into another Duke or North Carolina. Dr. Tom ran rings around Stevie's sorry ass. Thing is I truly believe if this were George Raveling he'd be gone in 3 years. Bowlsby can't suck it up and admit he made a mistake, a big one.

19. I would much rather see Iowa in the tourney if MN didn't make it
than either Michigan, Michigan State, or Indiana (although my dislike of Indiana was tied to Bobby Knight!)

20. Honestly, I'd like to see
Iowa get shut out of the tourney and make that the final nail in Alfraud's coffin. Maybe then someone in Iowa City will have the ranch eggs to go after a REAL coach.

21. There is that
and there is always the NIT. I like the NIT better anyway...less hype, better games!

22. I don't know if Iowa would accept an NIT bid.
Or that they'd be offered one for that matter. Attendance in Iowa City for NIT games has been awful.

23. Bummer
I hate the hype of the NCAA tournament, and enjoy the NIT far more. Sure it is not the big dance, but the players in the NIT seem to have more to prove, so they seem to hustle more.

24. Yes, it's good experience for a lot of teams.
For Iowa it would be a huge letdown once again. But we've become accustomed to that sort of thing come basketball season. After Kirk Ferentz works his magic on the gridiron I'm almost done with Iowa sports for another year. Too painful to watch a BB team with some talent on it squander yet another season.

14. Nasty "flamewars" are all the rage tonight
I understand having a difference of opinion, but some people seem to go out of their way to be assholes! I guess it takes all kinds. I started a thread in DU and it was a simple request and..well...let's say it was not what I would have ever expected! I guess people are high-strung tonight..something "angered up the blood" (as Grandpa Simpson would say).

There are a few of us out here trying to have fun too! :)
