Luckily for us, Lickliter knows how to coach D

So we could be close in most of our games. Unfortunately, we do not have much offensive fire power. Though we are young. If all of our guys come back next year, we could be dangerous using the Butler scheme.

Best game fight I ever saw

Several years ago, Sunday afternoon game, I believe, Toledo Mud Hens at the Richmond Braves. Pitchers are having a grazing duel, of sorts, and there’s this batter up for Toledo straight up from Cuba or some other godforsaken place (and good for him, BTW) that speaks absolutely no English. Anyway, I don’t think the Richmond pitcher meant to graze him, actually, but he did, and this guy comes charging off the mound and launches himself into the air Matrix style – spikes first – and grazes the pitcher on the side of the head or something, I think.

Dugouts empty. Punches thrown.

It was awesome.

fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck

Just got back from CHA. Not a good time at all. This wasn’t even an upset, they were straight up better in basically every fascist of the game except I guess rebounding. It was embarassing to watch. Everything we hated about last year is back: absolutely no ball movement, guys just standing around on offense (go way, Bawinkle, you stupid gimmick player), no one who wants to push the pace, no rotation on defense (how many fucking times they did drive and kick to a wide open guy in the corner? It was open every single time), no one who can consistently penetrate on offense. Basically, we just fucking suck. And, like, I knew that, but somehow we’re even worse than I had tricked myself into expecting. I dunno. If our 3s aren’t falling, we’re just helpless. We’re going to get blown out of the gym in a lot of Big Ten games. I want to be patient with Lick, because it’s a young team, but he’s not making it easy.

On the plus side, Eric May and Cully Payne look like they could be pretty good. I really love May, he’s our best perimeter and post defender at all of 6’4", and probably the most athletic guy on the team. He’s one of the only guys on the team who’s always moving, and is fun to watch.

Believe it or not...

www.firelickliter.com redirects to Cyclone Fanatic. I’m not sure what’s more pathetic. Them buying that url or the university buying firealford.com a few years ago.

Highlight of the game, by the way

Herky apparently knows how to play the drums. He took over for a song, and was pretty good.

No seriously, that was the highlight. Nothing else was even close.

Well, you're still top 14 in the BCS...

#13. We’re #14.

As bad as our team is, when we make a 3 it should count for 6.

We’d still lose. But not as badly.

Gee maybe Dr. Tom wasn’t so bad after all

I was saying this at the fucking time

Honestly, with the way they treated him I almost think the program deserves what it’s become.

by NorseHawk on Nov 15, 2009 8:54 PM CST up reply actions   0 recs

I don't think you'll find very many Iowa fans

who were in favor of pushing Dr. Tom out for the latest coach du jour back in 1999.

Make a clean start

Well hell then, bring him back, buy out Sam and let him get some players and get back to Iowa winning some games

Hell Bobby Knight not coaching now that would be wild. ( I need to quit drinking and posting)

by nwyms Trebek! on Nov 15, 2009 9:01 PM CST up reply actions   0 recs

Agreed.

Because I would not be in favor of bringing back Dr. Tom, nor would any rational fan at this point.

I don't think he'd want to anyway

He farted around at Drake long enough that they felt obligated to hire his kid, but I think he’s pretty happy to just chill, play golf, and generally be beloved by the state of Iowa.

But yeah, he’s not an option now. It sucks that we fucked around with a good thing and pushed him out too early (especially since there’s a decent chance that we’d have Pearl right now if we’d let Davis leave on his own terms), but that’s done.

by NorseHawk on Nov 15, 2009 9:47 PM CST up reply actions   0 recs

Pearl would be nice

I thought Pearl had left a couple of years before Dr. Tom. I just don’t see Sam being around much longer. Sad thing was I thought he would be a good fit after hair boy. Of course I thought he would be good also. It is amazing what a couple of bad years will do to what you want. We go from wanting to be Big Ten contenders to just wanting to be good again. Well it can and will be turned around. Who knows Sam may still do it. ( there goes the booze again :)

by nwyms Trebek! on Nov 15, 2009 11:08 PM CST up reply actions   0 recs

He did

However, I think he’d have probably been more inclined to come back if it’d been for the opportunity to replace his mentor. Also, depending on when Dr. Tom decided to leave on his own, we probably could have jumped on him before UT did.

Also why do you call Todd Lickliter Sam?

by NorseHawk on Nov 16, 2009 7:07 AM CST up reply actions   0 recs

The only Sam Lickliter I know is a ref

The ref who stole Penn State’s shot at it’s biggest win ever over Cheaney and the #1 Hoosiers in ‘93. PSU (who, of course, was terrible and hadn’t won a game in the conference) was leading by 4 with the clock ticking down, an IU player grabbed a PSU player’s jersey to foul, and Lickliter called an offensive foul. IU won in overtime.

And the Big Ten employed him for another 12 years.

I'm embarrassed to say I wanted him to leave

What can I say, I was young and reckless, but after years of watching our point guard post up while a 7-footer tried to make an entry pass to him from behind the arc I was ready for something new. Now it seems like a veritable Golden Age…

When's the last time Iowa lost an opening exhibition game @ home?

Anyone?

To be fair, this wasn't an exhibition...

this was our first game that counts of the season. So that is in the books for all eternity. Hooray!

Hey, I don't *feel* old

That’s what counts… right?

(stuffing back in hearing aid).

I was in Kinnick seeing us kick Husker ass at the beginning of the ’81 season :D

We have been very lucky the last 30 years in terms of having a decent football program.

Wow

Iowa has a basketball program. Sort of, as in they technically have 5 guys who get on a basketball court with refs and stuff. Who’da thunk it. I could’ve sworn it was just a smoldering crater when Name Redacted left for the high desert.

by hawkdevil on Nov 15, 2009 9:41 PM CST reply actions   0 recs

We're in trouble when...

The announcers said that Lick complained that the schedulers didn’t do the Hawks any favors by scheduling TX-San Antonio and Duquesne as the first two opponents of the season. I wish I were joking. Who does coach want as an opener?

by KenOKeefeIfuckinghateyou on Nov 15, 2009 11:04 PM CST reply actions   0 recs

So I was doing homework & shit all day/evening and missed the game.

So it’s gonna be a good season? We’re pretty much a lock for at least the Sweet 16, right? Sparty’s pretty much fucked, and Brandon Paul is regretting not coming to Iowa?

Right?

I just looked at the box score for the UTSA game and then looked at this thread

and you know what it reminded me of?

The scene in Batman (the 1989 one with Jack Nicholson as the Joker) after Nicholson falls into the vat of chemicals and the plastic surgeon says “You understand the nerves were completely severed.” as he hands Nicholson a mirror.

Nicholson looks at himself in silence for a moment and then starts laughing and laughing. Then, he smashes the mirror.

That is the state of Iowa Basketball right now. We, the fans, are Nicholson looking into the mirror at this hideous abomination and Lickliter, in a way, is the plastic surgeon explaining that “You understand, the nerves were completely severed, back at Butler, the nerves were still in pretty good shape.” All we can do is laugh. Fortunately, we have some very funny and sarcastic people on BHGP.

I remember when Lickliter was hired

there was a nickname poll for him on the old Hawkeye Compulsion site. Maybe it’s time for a repeat now that we’ve seen him in action for a few years? I’d maybe go with “The Todd” like in Scrubs. Then we can ask each other for a “20-point half high five!” and make crude sexual innuendos in lieu of analyzing the games.
