Jeebus is the basketball season going to be a LOOOONG season. We got beat by fucking Texas San Antonio. Not Texas (although stay tuned), not Texas Tech, not even UTEP. Fucking Texas SAN ANTONIO!! In our own house no less! I've been a supporter of Lick up to this point, but it is getting harder and harder to stand by him. And I don't want to hear any "we really miss Jake Kelly" bullshit either. That was a team you should beat in your own house. Or anywhere for that matter. No excuses. That was just a piss-poor performance. I can accept not making the NCAA tourney this year (or even the NIT). But come on... you gotta beat teams like this!

Well, we really miss Jake Kelly. Anyone see spanks vlog on the new HN? It's gonna be hard for him to keep that up if this team goes 2-29 or some shit.

This team is going to set a whole bunch of dubious records this year.
Maybe even 0 for Big-10??
Bring on the Washington Generals.

It doesn't look good but after that loss, they don't have anywhere to go but up.

Barta should be calling Keno Davis to see if he is interested in resurrecting this program.

It's gotten to the point where I don't even pay attention anymore, as a fan it's sad and I should be ashamed of myself but I can only take so much. I miss the good old days of just being competitive. I suppose someday we will get back.......... Right?

I'm right there with you Poncho, I seriously tried to watch it last night, but said fuck it and turned off at half and didn't even fucking care that I was missing the second half. After the last NFL game I turned it back and was going to watch until the start of the Pats/Colts but they were down by 12 or so and said to hell with this and fucked around on the internet.

The problem is that no great athletes want to play Titlicker's mundane style.
He's not gonna last here. He might be a great guy but he's not going to get Big Ten quality athletes and he's not gonna win with the guys he can get.

Players want to run and Lick just doesn't do that. As a result, the best players go elsewhere.

Iowa had a really rough game, Gatens and Tucker 2 for 15 from behind the line? Your not going to see that again this year. I think I read that Payne didnt have and assist? Bawinkle being invisible. Jaryd Cole didn’t get the touches he needs....etc. etc.
We got the worst game of the year out of the way straight out of the box.
The basketball team got beat on a night that the shots were not falling, that is true. We need to shoot lights out to compete; nobody will argue with that.
This team is going have games that they light it up. When they do they are going to win and win with conviction. Expect greater things and some high quality wins when the ball bounces our way later in the year.
As fans we are just going to have to accept the live by the coast....die by the coast mentality. Appreciate the nights that the 3 is falling and try not to jump off the bridge when it does not.
I for one will not be turning my back on the Iowa Basketball team…..Ever.
Go Hawks.

Face it, the basketball team is going to blow. That may be true, but that doesn't mean I am going to stop rooting for them, and I will be watching with expectations to pull out a victory every game. Thats part of being a fan. I can understand that a fair-weather person like yourself wouldn't think a long the same lines.

I will also still pull for them but don't expect me to be DVRing every game when we have a .333 record.
I'm also not fairweather, I'm a Bills fan for crying out loud.

Does any one have information on what time/channel the game tonight is? Hawkeyeinsider.com does not have information on which channel.
I have DishNetwork, but i doubt it is on tv.

I would like to watch the game. I feel a 30+ point victory on the way.

Well, we're losing right now, but I'm glad we're competitive with Duke. That bodes well for the season.

Well, the game was on ESPNU. I dont have much to say except i was a bit off with the 30 point win talk.
Cougil looked good in my opinion, Eric May played well from what I saw.
We need to shoot the rock better, and not suck so much in general.

Cougill did look good but he is SSSSSLLLLOOOOOOWWWWWWW and won't be able to guard anybody one on one, he needs to hit the weights and lose another 20 pounds. He is going to get eaten alive in the Big Ten.

There are better basketball players at the fieldhouse courts than there are on the scholarship team.
Where the fuck does Clitlicker find these chumps? Does he just wait until everyone else is done recruiting and go swoop up the rejects?
If I were Gatens and Tucker, I'd get the fuck out of here. Fast.

Cully Payne makes Kevin Skillet look like an all-Big Ten player.
May and Cougill have potential. Does Jaryd Cole even want to play? Gatens and Tucker are OK but are not good enough to carry a team. Bawinkel belongs in D3

Keep in mind Duqesne was w/o their leading scorer too. Just a little bit more salt in the wound.
