**2020 Iowa Basketball Off-Season Thread**

[Thomas Wolsey]

Please wait for an official schedule and focus on the first bake ONLY. Can’t look through anyone.

Have you been hanging with my man @YugoslavianMountainHound ?

I'm a UNI guy and I'm tired of that shit. Iowa (and ISU) did UNI a favor for years by playing up there. Nobody is entitled to anything. I would like it if Iowa started playing a home-and-home with UNI, but I understand why it isn't going to happen.

 

[Hawkstrat]

Kind of a chicken and egg thing, but I wonder if we had less retards covering the Hawks, we'd have less retarded fans.

Typically the Iowa beat writers are on board with the 'Fran is a chicken shit' argument.

As Newsy points out, there is nothing wrong with UNI fans to want it, but it's absurd to think Iowa owes it to them.

 

[Shpadoinkle]

Iowa should never play UNI again.

 

[MikeyJoe]

As with ISU in football, this is just a weirdly Iowan thing. "They should play UNI!" Why? "Because they're located within the same state!" And?

 

[Gushawk]

Lotta overlap between anti-elite nobody is any better than me types (whom Iowa has a shitload of) and Iowa owes it to ISU and/or UNI to play them types, imo. Fuck Iowa State and, to a lesser extent, UNI. Iowa doesn’t owe them shit, and propping them up by regularly playing them is actually quite clearly to Iowa’s detriment.

 

[Revolver]

David Eickholt is considerably better than the rest of the beat writers.

 

[CamelTones]

David Eickholt is considerably better than the rest of the beat writers.

It's almost like he's a young guy with new ideas and perspective.

 

[Fletch]

The fact that they want to play Iowa so badly and Iowa is uninterested, and the resulting outrage, tells you all you need to know about the natural pecking order within the state.

It’s also almost like he isn’t a total slob that (semi-douchey profile pic aside) actually looks like a normal human being.

That one is in the Big Ten and the other in a mid-major league tells you that. This is a question for which someone needs evidence?

Dave Fish seems to need it.

Outside of the like 9 completely deluded UNI superfans everyone knows the pecking order between the 2 programs.

Like Newsy said, I want UNI and Iowa to play for selfish reasons but I understand why it doesn't greatly benefit Iowa.

 

[Revolver]

I have thrown Kakert under the bus so many times. But it is incredible how much less of a douche he is than Morehouse, Howe and Harty. I think his message board/website pretty well sucks, but he actually seems like a much better person (and much more comfortable in his own skin) than those three to me.

 

[Stomper15]

David Eickholt is considerably better than the rest of the beat writers.

The 247 guys do a pretty good job. They stay in their lane and don't get caught up in the crap the 50-60-year-old beat writers do.

It seems like we are in similar boats, but I feel the exact opposite. I get no benefit from the game

 

[HerkyHopeful]

In the year 2020 there is no reason for a big ten school to play at a Missouri valley school.

 

[Slidewilly]

Hadn't heard of him before the Luka PC. He asked some interesting questions, not just the obvious ones.

He was the only one of them that had the stones to push back on the DJK and Wadley stories in the immediate aftermath.

Glad I got my bet in before Garza announced. Make me rich, boyz!

 

[LifelongHawk]

Conference holiday tournament in a bubble?

“We’re preparing for the season as if it will start normally,” McCaffery said. “I think we all have to agree that might not be the case. Maybe Jan. 1 is the magic date. Obviously, there’s a better chance of a vaccine by then.

“Will it be conference-only games? That’s a possibility. We’re all talking about a lot of different scenarios. We have the opportunity from Thanksgiving through the start of the second semester to maybe do a bubble-type event. Maybe that’s something we do.”

 

[AZmessDAWG]

Let’s go!!!!!!

(right?)

Not that you will pay, but how much do you want to bet?

A 6 pack of Lone Star

$100 to your local Catholic Church if you lose, $100 to whatever you want if you win.

If it's delayed, who wins the bet?

 

[douglasbader]

If it is delayed and they play later? Me.

You said there wouldn't be a season. There will absolutely be a season.

I'll take the bet that there won't be any games prior to February first

"Poorly worded"

 

[Geese]

Will be the season in which the beer is not flowing inside Carver

 

[Alan Lomax]

Yep I'm guilty. Poorly worded. There will not be the usual season

So all the times you don’t do this, you don’t do it because you truly don’t believe it necessary. Huh...

Hey can we not be fucking idiots and realize that we knew what NLP was talking about?

Wut? Is this some dipshit to dipshit telepathic communication? I'm going to guess that only you knew "there will be no season" meant there will be a delayed season.

There won’t be a season before a usual season would be over.
