Tottenham hosts Forest at noon, then the Natty/CC Swan Song. Shaping up like a nice little Sunday for me. Probs on a gout warning

This morning I saw a clip of their bigs walking around the court between the action. Eesh. They could be running a Mikan Drill on the O boards today.

I am finding it difficult to buy in to the idea that Iowa is the best team in WBB this season. Anyone else feeling this way? Just seems like it wasn't that long ago, the narrative was that CCs supporting cast wasn't good enough, Bluder had failed miserably in the portal over the offseason etc and this year's team was worse than last years etc. Even several Iowa fans I know personally had Iowa bowing out in the Elite 8, some as early as the Sweet 16. So what gives? Are they just that hot right now, is the rest of the sport just that down, or is it the media hype machine propping them up?

IF - somehow - we win the natty - it will be interesting to see how clone fans spin that.

guessing ' scripted , refs were told to let iowa win' will be main focus, but could see a bit of ' isu will now take over and win the next 4 championships' in there as well

No offense to anyone, but outside of a few schools and a very niche group of fans, nobody gives a fuck about wrestling.
Correct. If you asked a random college sports fan “name a school that’s good at wrestling” some might be able to pick Iowa. But even among those the vast majority have not ever seen an Iowa match or could name a single Iowa wrestler in the history of the school.

I understand that. I am just trying to figure out what Iowa won titles in, in any sport.

I've never seen an Iowa team win a national title before, so it would be kinda nice if they win today.
Hawkstat thinks you’re being a bitch!
