Iowa at Michigan State OPEN THREAD: Please Don't Kill Us


It's time for VENGEANCE. No, not you assclowns. Go away.

Iowa visits East Lansing today, a place where the Hawkeyes haven't won since 1993. Fa real. The Spartans have all sorts of reasons why they should win, namely:

  1. They're far better than Iowa at basketball;
  1. Izzo stands to win his 300th game today;
  1. cold, brutal revenge.

This won't be close, and we're perfectly aware of that, thank you. We just hope Iowa can keep the deficit to double digits. Be sure to keep your browsers pointed right hyeah as we suffer in the best way possible: together.

Nice tackle, dickwad.

Raymar Morgan divebombs old dude's knees, and the crowd starts booing because a foul was called? That shit's illegal in fucking football.

Fire walk with me

Twin Peaks rules!  Woooooooooooooo!!!!!

I just set my DVR

I'm recording the entire series on Chiller.  You win, Bucketochicken.  You always do.

17:20 remains in the first half

Lick already had to use a TO.
Izzo is already screaming at the officials.
Neitzel is already a prick.
Oh, and it's 8-1, MSU.

Somehow I forgot

that MSU has a fucking ginger kid at center. I hate Naymick so hard.

Eject?

I think I may have to bail already. I can't even think right now.

Hooters

Could they dress in a less attractive "uniform"?

It's just not an Iowa game

Without an arctic first eight minutes.

12-1 with 15:30 to go. Fuck me.

Prediction

Final score: Michigan State 212, Iowa 1.

Reggie Evans

If we could have him back for just 1 day...

We have the softest front line in college basketball history.

I'm done.

Lickliter

Looks like he's about to put the team in a bus, then push it into the ocean. Good heavens.

14-1.

by Oops Pow Surprise on Feb 23, 2008 1:22 PM CST   0 recs

fucking fuck

We're so bad we can't get a shot off.
Jesus, we can't even fucking dribble.
Fuck.

Keep digging Hawkeyes!

We can still see you.

Put your bets in now

When will Iowa hit their first field goal? I'm guessing with 9 minutes left in the first half... on Wednesday.

This is agonizing to watch.

by Oops Pow Surprise on Feb 23, 2008 1:26 PM CST   0 recs

Masochism

A very disturbed part of me kinda' hopes Sparty holds Iowa under 10 first half points, just for you know, novelty's sake.  

by Bucketochicken on Feb 23, 2008 1:27 PM CST   0 recs

Why do you

want to see Lickliter beat Freeman's face in at midcourt? Where's the sport in that? It'd just be like Jared Leto getting erased in Fight Club.

by Oops Pow Surprise on Feb 23, 2008 1:30 PM CST to parent up   0 recs

Better at midcourt

than on the sidelines.

by Bucketochicken on Feb 23, 2008 1:32 PM CST to parent up   0 recs

Second media timeout

and no fucking baskets for Iowa. 15-1.

Holy mother of God, we're setting new standards of incompetence.

Ford commercial

They're swinging a pickup truck around a giant centrifuge. This strikes me as wildly unnecessary.

ridiculously nauseating for drivers.

You're just sitting there,

trying not to barf, and slamming on the brakes even though you know it won't do any good!

by Oops Pow Surprise on Feb 23, 2008 1:42 PM CST to parent up   0 recs

I know what it's like

I get carsick in the passenger seat on occasion. I used to have an Isuzu Trooper and when I'd get really drunk (couple times a week), I'd let my girlfriend drive home. Well, the passenger seat made me sick, and I was already drunk, so I'd sit in the back seat. Then I'd shout stuff at her from Driving Miss Daisy, but she wouldn't play along, so I'd play both roles.

Daisy: What are you doing?
Hoke: I'm tryin' to drive you to the store!

or

Miss Daisy: Hoke?
Hoke: Yes'm.
Daisy: You're my best friend.
Hoke: No, go on Miss Daisy.
Daisy: No, really, you are...
Hoke: Yes'm.

She loved it!
(not really)

by jebushchrist on Feb 23, 2008 1:51 PM CST to parent up   0 recs

oh, I forgot

This was my favorite bit:

Daisy: You know your letters don't you?
Hoke: Oh yeahs, yeah I knows mah ABC's pretty good, jus' can't read.
Daisy: Stop saying that you're making me mad! If you know your letters you can read. You just don't know you can read.
Hoke: Ma'am?
Daisy: I taught some of the stupidest children God ever put on the face of this earth and all of them could read well enough to find a name on a tombstone.

WOW

An Iowa player just threw the basketball through the hoop.

by Bucketochicken on Feb 23, 2008 1:42 PM CST   0 recs

to be fair

it wasn't exactly on purpose; he was aiming for one of the sousaphones.

by Oops Pow Surprise on Feb 23, 2008 1:44 PM CST to parent up   0 recs

Oh well

Better luck next time.

by Bucketochicken on Feb 23, 2008 1:45 PM CST to parent up   0 recs

Honestly

I'm just glad they picked the right ball; it was embarrassing when they spent the first seven minutes of the ULM game trying to dribble a fucking baseball.

by Oops Pow Surprise on Feb 23, 2008 1:47 PM CST to parent up   0 recs

You know it's bad when

Iowa goes on a 7-9 tear from the field and is still ridiculously and hopelessly behind.

If I were at this game

regardless of my affiliation, I would leave at halftime. This is ridiculous.

Iowa Hoops is to Basketball

what "Weekend at Bernie's II" is to film.  And we don't even have Andrew fucking McCarthy...

Maybe

I need to start drinking right now. I'm not sure that it would help the Hawkeyes in any way, shape, or form, but hey, my pants would be gone.

have you needed alcohol to go streaking from the waist down?

by Hawkeye State on Feb 23, 2008 1:56 PM CST to parent up   0 recs

Well

If my parents are reading, I'd like them to think that they can at least blame an outside substance for raising someone who engages in such behavior, rather than blaming themselves.

I don't know why

the stat people ever make a big deal about Iowa's bench points. Iowa's backups are Kurt Looby, a 9-year-old, a folding chair, a jar of cashews, and David Palmer.

Well, that was fun

Good to see MSU's up by 18 now. I just hope Iowa doesn't get doubled up.

by Oops Pow Surprise on Feb 23, 2008 2:15 PM CST   0 recs

Can I make one request?

Can Cyrus Tate show up in the first half once this season?

by Hawkeye State on Feb 23, 2008 2:19 PM CST   0 recs

Not until

Lickliter stops making the players wait until halftime to get their goose on.

The score is 44-28, 11 1/2 minutes to go

if Michigan State merely dropkicks the ball on every possession, will Iowa get back within 10 points before the final horn?

by Oops Pow Surprise on Feb 23, 2008 2:28 PM CST   0 recs

There's NO TIME!

No, it's unpossible for them to score that many points in so little time.

by jebushchrist on Feb 23, 2008 2:30 PM CST to parent up   0 recs

There's never any time!

I don't have time to study!  I'll never get into Stanford!  I'm so confused!

Everything will be alright.  I just need one of these...

that Iowa is not losing by 90 at this point. They haven't done anything well.

Bob Uecker should be the announcer for all of our games.  With the reanimated corpse of Rodney Dangerfield doing color commentary.

I hope you guys noticed that a certain squad from Iowa City just hit 50 points!!!
Yeah, I'm out too.

by jebushchrist on Feb 23, 2008 2:56 PM CST to parent up   0 recs

naturally!

With 3 seconds left in a 14 point game MSU had to drive to the basket and get a shot off, as opposed to just letting time run out and shaking hands.
Fucking assholes.

by jebushchrist on Feb 23, 2008 3:00 PM CST   0 recs

I didn't watch but...

assuming the 15 1/2 spread mentioned above was correct...Well, you see what I'm getting at.
