They aren’t though. Capris are at mid calf and yoga pants are basically spandex. The tapered fit of joggers would actually be perfect for your chicken legs.

Pretty on brand that you know this.

I mean I guess I could wear gym shorts and a tank top and join your band?

How would you know? You were too busy staring at the Airliner's front door hoping Rob Thein would show up in a tank top

 

[KitKatApples]

That’s to many tank top posts on one page

You drinking to tank top posts now?

When do season tickets arrive? Never had them before this year for basketball.

Joggers are just sweatpants that are slim fit and narrower leg openings.

No shit?????

 

[KitKatApples]

That does sound gay

 

[douglasbader]

I’d like to say tough break for Matt Gatens, but quite often you get what you deserve.

I'm excited, boyz. The best or 2nd best PG in the country and a team full of athletic tough defensive minded drivers and shooters.

It's the most anti-Fran team there is.

Just looked at the schedule. I don't see us losing a single one of those games.

They’re going to fuck people up this year. I know my man @BBK feels the same way.

 

[Thanksgiving Dinner]

They gave an elite eight TTU all they could handle, and now they have the players that would've turned the tide in that game. The pieces are there, boyz. Believe.

 

[Fletch]

Ben McCollum just wins.

You can't completely wipe away all the Fran influence in one offseason

McCollum hits all of the right notes from a PR perspective.

 

[Gushawk]

Ben loves whitey too, but a different type.

 

[CleteyColgate]

Can you post AI generated images of acceptable colors of players for Iowa basketball?

Shut the fuck up.

How about I post a list of people that should fuck off into the sun
1. @CleteyColgate
that's it

 

[Gushawk]

From a blended average standpoint, I’d personally shoot for this:

 

[Gushawk]

But ultimately I trust Ben to do what’s right to win, especially when it matters

 

[Uff Da]

the basketball season thread is so much better with Fran gone. Thanks Beth, much appreciated.

 

[Talkin' Goat]

I’m excited as fuck for hoops this year. Ben knows what the hell he’s doing. These boys gon be good.

 

[rodg12]

 

[hawkeyealum]

I am irrationally excited about basketball this year

 

[Greg Obrecht]

Ben is old school without being unrelatable. How can you not like the guy?

 

[LifelongHawk]

"You're job is to serve"
Old school love it, but does it work if you are paying 1 guy a million+ and several 6 figures?

Guess we’ll find out.

 

[douglasbader]

@Rolo Tomassi Bot has never been more shocked and surprised than at :48 seconds into that video.

 

[AZmessDAWG]

At the end of the day it’s team sports. I doubt that all goes flying out the window because they’re getting some money for it now.

 

[LifelongHawk]

"some"

So you’re a cynic.
