We're Talkin' Basketball: The End of the Road?

Iowa Hawkeyes at Michigan Wolverines, Mar 11, 2010 1:30 PM CST
If the oddsmakers are to be believed (Michigan -8), today is the last day of the season for Iowa men's basketball. If the message boards are to be believed, today is the last day of a lot of things.
We don't believe either.
Iowa was uncompetitive as always in its January 30 game in Ann Arbor, losing by a deceptively close 14 points to Michigan. However, the Hawkeyes should have beaten Big Blue a month ago, blowing a 4-point lead in the final 22 seconds of regulation and losing by 4 points in overtime. Then there is the old adage about beating a team three times in one season (it mostly applies to the NFL, but we'll use it nonetheless). And, despite lackadaisical effort in its last two losses, Iowa has improved over the course of this season. As strange as it sounds for a team that set a school record for losses in a season, the Hawkeyes have actually overachieved this year. It's time to put a small exclamation point on this lost season. It's time to finish on a high note for once. It's time to muster whatever goodwill we have for this team and this coach and this program and to will our way to a positive result.
This is pretty much the plot of Ghostbusters 2. We're screwed, aren't we? 1:30 tipoff on ESPN2.

...and we already have a timeout.
Before you respond, let me remind you: Brian Cook called me smug, which makes me the Obama of smugness. I'm basically Smugbama.
It wouldn't be an Iowa game...
…if Todd Lickliter didn’t beat the first media timeout to the punch with the quick TO.

so I was thinking, Cole is 6'6" + and athletic
maybe he should be locked in the weight room with Doyle and let out this fall if he agrees to play tackle.
he wouldn’t be asked to catch anything.

They’re asshats on the air, most of the time, but it is a legitimate news source.
I seem to recall...
KCJJ blowing a couple rumors like this, but my wires could be crossed. Interesting.

I know
They have blown a couple, but I’m just throwing it out there. Not giving any credence to it, other than the fact that they are a news source with a lot of local ties.
No shame in that.
We’re not attacking you, just trying to contextualize things.

You mean decelerated.
Plus, on further contemplation, a simple linear model is not sufficient here because at high levels of turnovers, there’s a possibility one side may just say screw it, give up, and start playing dodgeball.
Iowa wouldn’t be too bad at that, as they have a low enough airball rate. Plus, DeShawn Sims would be neutralized cuz he’s only accurate in close. Then Iowa’s 5 players could take down Manny.

At least we won't get turned down by Kevin Stallings this time...
…because he won’t be approached.

Take a good look, folks
This could be the last we see of Lil’ John.

I'm so happy
Can he take Brommer with him?
Wait
I’ve been MIA the last couple days. Is Lil Lick really rumored to be leaving or are we continuing StoopsMyAss’ joke?
Big Lick is rumored to be resigning.
I think we’re presuming Lil John will be leaving with him.

If Big Lick goes, Lil' Lick almost certainly follows.

Obviously they'll say...

Only if he's resigning
and with all that money hanging out there, he’s only resigning if it really is his health.

The open speculation by O'Brien on ESPN makes me much more certain there's something happening.

Yeah, but ESPN generally has no fucking clue what's going on (they just know their spin on things)...
…but I understand what you mean.

Are we really playing a 1-3-1 zone with JOHN LICKLITER in the middle?
OK, that’s a fireable offense.

Like the rest of us, I'm gay for Eric May...
but his stat line today is BRUTAL.
2/11 (0-5), 3 boards, 4 pts.

Y'know...
…I was fine with all the wandering in the wilderness when it seemed like Coach Lick was trying to build something, but if we went through all of that for him to just “step down” I’m gonna be pissed.
Can we call Tucker back and just stick him with a Straight Edge room mate? I suppose it’s too late to get any of the other transfers back though.

If CM Punk really was straight edge he'd be the joykillingest wrestler on their tour.
Imagine Randy Orton shooting up between his toes while eating a steak and violating an underage hooker in every way imaginable, meanwhile CM Punk is in the next room drawing an X on each hand and espousing the no sex, no drugs, no animal products lifestyle to an uninterested Batista.
I’d watch more wrestling if that’s whay actually went on, just so I could see Batista beat CM silly with his own arms.
[By the way, CM is certainly NOT an actual straight edge- – his juiced up muscles give it away. And doesn’t he have tatoos (there are different ideas of what straight edge means, but I’m talking about the strict kind)?]

Iowa 09-10
I’ve seen f’d up before, and it looked a lot like this
This was a terrible team, that had no identity and didn’t do anything well. Indiana should be embarassed for losing to them twice. Have no idea about the Lickliter rumors. If it’s true, I’d rather have it happen now than inevitably in 2 years. They were going to be horrible next year no matter what. Maybe, just maybe, they’ll be more fun to watch and not so joyless.
Checking in late on Lickliter but
I don’t see him getting fired. It would cost Iowa $3 million. If he resigns, that’s a different deal and would suggest some sort of mutual deal. But why would be leave that money and his reputation in flames like that? Makes no sense. Unless, some huge donor just bought him the unemployment line.

Although Doc's blog really hinted that Gaten's and other players just
don’t like the guy. He sounds aloof. If the athletic dept. sees the players are miserable, then why keep him. He’s done nothing else that suggests he deserves to stay. That buyout in his contract is a joke though. Why Barta agreed to $600K a year/remaining is beyond me.

Rumor Rumor Rumor Rumor Rumor Rumor
Fuller and Brommer have plane tickets to Panama City for tomorrow. So confident our guys.
Luck is probability taken personally, clutch is probability attributed to individuals.
That's never happened before
Not in the history of Iowa basketball… Nope.

Sorry, but that Whooooooshed me...
…what are you referring to? Did some of those guys have plane tickets for the next day or something?
by Eyeheartfreedumb on Mar 11, 2010 4:19 PM CST up reply actions
From what I remember ...
A few of the guys on the team had plane tickets for the coming weekend (or maybe the next day) to go to somewhere nice and sunny for Spring Break (Cancun, perhaps) after they didn’t make the dance, allegedly. I heard about it before the game and watched at the bar (One Eyed Jake’s for a birthday, as I recall) as one of the players in question had the ball in his hand at the end of regulation with a chance to tie. He tried to drive and made a spectacularly horrible play, but not unlike many he had attempted throughout the course of the season. LSU wins by 2.
It was an NIT game, so I don’t think too many people cared, but I think a handful of people noticed that they weren’t playing like themselves.
Can anyone here back me up?
Not me.
