[Jimmie Dimmick]

These guys have to play Michigan state

 

[CamelTones]

If I’m reading that right then I hope the basketball team is more Hufflepuff than they are Gryffindors.

 

[wondergrape]

Lol here comes the annual strat bitch-fest

Michael Baer looks even dorkier than his brother

[TurdBurgler]

These dorks are our dorks and I think they have a chance at winning the league this year. Or maybe they will be bad again, i dunno lol.

 

[Bob]

Can't believe the 22 year old is into one of most popular pieces of pop culture in the world while he was growing up this is crazy

 

[SteadyEddy]

It's pretty dorky Bob.

My 8 and 10-year olds read all 7 Harry Potter books over the summer, and even they wouldn’t put together that dorky of a response.

Can they shoot better than 50% from the line?

Not too much better, though. That wouldn't be right.

Yep, read a couple of thousand pages of books, spent a week fishing and swimming in northern MN, played on USSSA baseball and basketball teams, rode their tires off of their bikes, and generally kicked all kinds of elementary school ass.

And at least the 10 year old can definitely make >50% of his FTs.

 

[KitKatApples]

They're still nerds

 

[AZmessDAWG]

Lol

 

[Geese]

 

[eclone]

They're still nerds

I guess then that they could still be Hawkeye basketball players someday

 

[PipeDaddy]

Should BTN Plus really count?

 

[Verbal]

Should BTN Plus really count?

It doesn't. There's 28 televised games and 3 BTN Plus.

I guess you'll have to get some Hawkeye gear then brother.

Thanks. My bad.

If it means I don't have to pay for college...gladly. I'll wear it in rotation with my 1994 Hawkeye basketball camp All-Star shirt signed by Dr. Tom and James Winters.

 

[KitKatApples]

Gonna have to break the frame to get it out?

 

[L. Wade Childress]

If you schedule cupcakes you can’t complain about BTN+

If you aren’t stuck in a year prior to 2012 you can’t complain about BTN+

This article is basically recruiting porn for Iowa basketball fans...

I didn’t do it in a summer, but we read all seven books to our twins when they were in first grade. I had never read them before so I got to experience them at the same time as my girls. We talked about them at supper time and in the car after school and read firvextra hours on the weekend. It’s probably my favorite experience with them.

So, yeah, it does sound like a good summer.

 

[Orestes]

And with that, the Harry Potter talk was clearly the high point of this thread.

 

[Silky Johnson]

Just saw this on the ESPN scroll and was prepared to get real pissed. Clearly not ideal, but it sounds like he’ll at least be able to play before we get too deep into the year. A lot of tough games early though, fuck.

 

[Dr. Zaius]

They put luxury boxes in above the north basket? Sounds terrible

 

[Uff Da]

Sat at one of the tables yesterday. Not a great view of the game. Although, it appears that they will serve beer to that location.

 

[L. Wade Childress]

Here’s the info

 

[Stomper15]

Does this mean they are finally moving older donors up and moving students down?

 

[wondergrape]

Are you just sitting at a table right below the concourse?

If so, lol wut.

 

[Dr. Zaius]

Are you just sitting at a table right below the concourse?

If so, lol wut.

Yeah, behind the basket. I feel like I’m taking crazy pills

 

[Emeril Lagasse]

Seems more like corporate boxes, giving tickets to customers.

I think they are recognizing how much this program makes us drink

 

[Hitman Sanders]

I would fire whichever supplier took me to a game and put me in those seats...

 

[L. Wade Childress]

You guys act like the top rows are awful. They really aren’t, particularly with the new video boards.

 

[HawkLax6]

I wouldn't want to sit there but I don't fault the University for trying to make some money on tickets that usually aren't sold.

And at least they are slowly rolling out some beer sales.

 

[L. Wade Childress]

Someone posted some random pick up game footage of some ic city west kids which is not important other than the fact that it showed Connor McCaffery dunking

Thanks for all those words describing that footage

 

[L. Wade Childress]

You don’t want to know more

 

[Hawkstrat]

I'm not sure I wanted to know that much.
