Wow.

Stay classy. What an anus.

I dunno, that's pretty funny

If you had been in the crowd for the first two games, you’d understand. Carver is totally empty and the games aren’t fun at all. Gallows humor is all we have left.

I haven't even seen them on TV

other than about five minutes of the Duquaine Duquense Dubuque the last game. And yeah, it was pretty bad. But I dunno, this just seems kinda mean. Like seeing a kid who fell down in a mud puddle and then drawing on his face with a log of dogpoop.

Maybe so.

But “negative number closest to zero” still makes me chuckle. Oh, math humor.

Also: “too far from the popcorn”? The more important question (especially to ESPNU producers) is “how far from the ice cream”?

Valid.

I do have to give a hat tip to the math humor.

People eating ice cream is to Iowa BB coverage what bucolic fam scenes (hard work!) are to Iowa FB coverage.

and may I say, what the hell? Granted, watching Iowa basketball is torturous, but the damn ice cream? Enough.

I'll take em.

Seriously. I’ve got nothing else to do right now.

There are still many tickets available at the door!

You too can sit with 20 of your fellow Hawkeye fans and watch Devan Bawinkle stand in a corner for a hour.
