ESecsPiN with another SEC fluff article about how the SEC became a “basketball powerhouse”.
Always pushing the narrative. Yormark should have went with Fox and got from those clowns.
They did play us pretty tough in Boulder after we jumped out 14-3 to start the game. I think it was a 4-point game with less than 4 minutes to go. I think that was one of the games Sharp sat out to try to get healthy.

This is a dream scenario for us. Well rested, healthy, not having to play at altitude and Colorado coming off 2 games in 2 days.

ISU -2.5
Houston -17.5
You folks with Iowa ties may be interested in hearing that there is a community just south of Houston called “Iowa Colony”. And it is named that for the obvious reasons (founded by a group of people from Iowa).
My mom’s side of the family are a major part of those few original founders. For many years, the US post office was located inside the front porch my great-grandparents (and later, my gandparents’) house. My dad spent about half of his youth living in Iowa Colony too. Both just over the railroad tracks that are to the south of Hwy 6. Rice farmers.
Back then high school was in neighborhing Alvin… from which all of my family graduated. The area really has grown a bit in the last few decades.
And the tie in to this thread? My mom still “warshes” the clothes/dishes/hands etc… And I honestly never thought about why that was until I read this thread!

I don’t mean to diminish the cool connection, but warsh is a small town thing. My grandpa from small town Cali said it, and my family in small town Utah say it.

Side note, the Cincinnati boys on Chatterbox say they officially hate Iowa State now. Can’t stand em.
Specifically, “Tamin Lipsey? Can’t stand that dude. He is a flopping foul merchant. And the refs just eat it up.”
For sure, I don’t think it’s an Iowa only thing by any means. It’s just noticebly randomly common but not ubiquitous at all at the same time here.
So it always really stands out because the people who do it can’t help it at all.
I think it’s because Iowa is quite literally an entire state of NOTHING BUT small towns, so it’s just something everyone can relate to no matter what part of the state you’re in.
There are no real urban areas where you might actually completely avoid the phenomenon. Even the DSM or other “metros”.

On a side note, I grew up in Louisiana.
The evening meal was Supper.
The other 2 were breakfast and Lunch.
The exception was Thanksgiving. Its serving was 1:30 to 2:00 p.m.
It was called Dinner. No idea why. The adults did so.

I would say that’s the standard fomula here too.
You might call it dinner if you’re on a date or restaurant or special event.
Or you might say it in an annoyed way to someone intruding like “you’re interrupting dinner” to make it seem like a real imposition or something lol. (Memories of landlines in the 90s there)
But like a regular run-of-the-mill meal would be breakfast lunch and supper. But like ZRF said, lunch is often called dinner too, which is certainly a holdover from a different time.
EDIT: in classic CoogFans fashion we have now somehow devolved the thread into something food related yet again. I feel like I really belong now!

Idk. I think it’s more interesting than West Virginia tho. I don’t think either team would stand a real chance anyways, so I’m more interested to see if Colorado can actually hang and make it a game than I would be for WVU.
I think other outside observers might agree.
It’s like a preview of a March Cinderella game.

Baylor really has very few impressive wins in conference. I generously counted 2.
Really thought KSU would bring it here.
