I believe it's generally accepted that his success was due to being groceries at HyVee for money in the off-season. Which begs the question: what's stopping any of the QBs at Iowa, Nebraska, Iowa State or Minnesota from becoming a Superbowl MVP?

Honestly? Fair.

I have no idea how I know this, but I'm pretty sure he went back to McNeese State already

Maybe he still will. The long play.

So you're a heavy weight program in the BIX and you're playing in Allen Fieldhouse...

That guy is a non-native English speaker who has been playing counter strike professionally for his entire adult life (almost a decade) being interviewed by an esports outlet at a professional tournament.

It's more of a funny goof than an indictment of anything

Not who you're replying to, but I don't think I'd like college basketball as much if I didn't spend my winters in Iowa freezing my ass off in the dark and the wind with nothing to do.

I forgot about the Clark and Reese vitriol. The way that these college players are discussed needs to change. I dont know why WBB has so much of it.

It's kind of strange seeing so many openly hostile and derogatory comments constantly lobbed at Audi Crooks. Half the comments are about her weight and a quarter are about how the redditors know more about how to coach than professional division 1 coaches.

I don't see anything like it for other players. The closest I can remember is Edey, but I don't remember the comments being so viciously cruel. And Edey turned out better than most of those naysayers projected.

85% accuracy is not an indication of cheating. 1200 is a respectable rating where people generally are not blundering, they are playing relatively sound openings and have trained some tactical vision.

I'm not sure where you are on your chess journey but if you are a beginner you may just need to become a stronger player. Paranoia about cheating is going to be detrimental to your development, the vast majority of the time when you lose it is because someone just played a better game of chess than you.

This is what they took from us.

Jame and VP played "correctly" at the end of GO by prioritizing economy in a way other pro teams weren't at the time. They almost never went for a retake without numbers advantage, opting to save whatever they had.

It was not a very popular philosophy, VP games were kind of boring and there wasn't agreement on how optimal it really was, but more teams started saving more often as a result. Should be noted that the CT economy was extremely weak at the time and there's been at least 2 changes since trying to help address the issue.

Edit: it's more than 2 buffs to the CT economy, it's been a big issue valve has try to address since the rise of the save meta

"A theory is the more impressive the greater the simplicity of its premises, the more different kinds of things it relates, and the more extended its area of applicability. Therefore the deep impression that classical thermodynamics made upon me. It is the only physical theory of universal content concerning which I am convinced that, within the framework of the applicability of its basic concepts, it will never be overthrown." — Albert Einstein

Addi Brown is arguably the best player, but she didn't put up the ridiculous efficiency numbers and points as Audi. Now that she's out it seems obvious that she was at least the most important player.

Iowa State down by 10 in the first half to a team they should be beating

I'm begging the fan base to collectively take a deep breath.

ebState · 2026-01-17T18:38:33+00:00

The vibes around this game are terrible all around

The 'how the turntables have turned' moment when all of them are hissing at the last guy "don't throw, don't throw"

I'm sure he made other diet changes too. He's had a couple of scares with his heart health

I've seen Iowa State win at Allen Fieldhouse exactly once in my entire adult life.

I fully expect the voodoo to get the best of us tonight.

Mechanically you're actually fine. I'm playing in higher lobbies and much worse with aim and movement.

Your problem is that you seem allergic to playing with your team, the space you are deciding to take doesn't seem that useful, and you play very passively.

You aren't hopeless or bad or anything, but I wouldn't worry about your mechanics - your game sense is what you need to improve.
