You might be right, just hold on the gloom and doom for a day or two. Maybe start trolling on Weds. I was telling Challenger jokes before the splash, bud. It ain't trolling. There's an inverse correlation between national expectations and Iowa's performance in most athletic events. This is a really good Iowa team, best in a long time, but the tournament comes down to fluke shit. In ‘86 when Challenger happened, you were still pissing your, oh wait…..never mind.

Jesus, I'm watching the game with a dozen people at the office none of whom are Iowa fans but most of who drank the Kool-Aid from the national media and it might be worse than watching Iowa lose a football game to Iowa State inside a crowd of a five dozen Iowa State fans because I can't yell f bombs at the top of my lungs and have to keep them muffled.

Quit being a fucking asshole, just for a little while. Thanks. I'm not being an asshole. The truth hurts. Richmond 69, Hox 67. Book it. I went 14-0 on football predictions this year, bud. Man, I was really close on that final score. Thank fuck I'm in a bracket with a bunch of Hawk chuds and 7/8ths of them are already effectively eliminated.

Listen pal, this team had to overcome two play-in 12 seeds to get where they are today. That's what's called battle tested. There will be absolutely no hangover between playing their fourth game in a row on sunday, flying from Indiana to Iowa, immediately flying to Buffalo and playing again less that four days later. To my knowledge, no team has ever beaten 3 twelve seeds in less than 7 days. And it's looking like this stat will hold for another year.

All sorts of prognosticators have Iowa going super far. Final 4, champ game, ugh. This Richmond game is gonna be like the "Red Wedding" episode of Game of Thrones based on what it is going to do brackets all over the country. Will be damned near as bad as when UVA lost as the 1 seed in the first round. The ol' Iowa hex of the "Big Game." I would argue that Iowa hasn't won a big game in basketball bince 1999, when we beat Arkansas to make the Sweet 16. I guess maybe you could call the Alex Thompson three pointer against Ohio in the 2006 BTT a big game, but we all remember what happened next. Maybe Purdouche last Sunday was a big game. But do you remember what happened yesterday? And fucking football. God damn it. Wisconsin might as well glue that trophy in a permanent home up there. Last big win maybe 2009 season? The PSU game this past year was big at the time, but then PSU closed out the year as basically a MAC team. Ohio 2017 was great, but it wasn't a big game, Iowa was a giant slayer that day and it was enjoyable, but had no bearing on Iowa that year as we put up like 77 yards of offense the next fucking week at Wisconsin. Did anyone see that Rose Bowl game against Standford? Jesus fuck.

Yes we lost (and they lost their pools)... but we (and coincidentally, they) were cheated and should have won.

I went to the games last night. Bold prediction - the absolute ceiling for Iowa is the Sweet 16 and even that will be a stretch. The defense these teams play is unreal and assuming Iowa's best case scenario is to be a 3-7 seed, I just don't see any way Iowa is gonna land the caliber of players necessary to beat a team seeded in the top half. We saw how bad Iowa got boatraced by Oregon last year and Oregon was a fucking 7 seed.
MSU should have lost by 20 but they got lucky as shit from downtown. Sparty looked like they were playing in quicksand compared to Duke and Sparty is more athletic than Iowa.
