One game shy of the half way point and it is a 2 team race, just as most people thought. 3-7 is going to be interesting on how it plays out. The 7th seed in St. Louis could be a dangerous team.

Indiana State at 2-7????????????????????????????????????????? I don't care if Odum has a hurt foot, they should have been better than 2-7.

From NCAA tournament team to possible cellar dwellar. Couldn't happen to a better group of bandwagon fans!

you stay classy shocktheheart. Glad the rules apply to most.

MoValleyJohn, I expected some falling back to earth, and posted so earlier this year. Every team is gonna give the Sycs their best this year after that run in STL last year. I didn't expect it to look like this. I don't have much going in the way of connections on campus anymore, so I can't even speculate if it's bad leadership, egos, or something else. I definitely don't think it's the coach...at least not yet. He's got some leeway at this point still in my book.

Talk to your fans last year who though you were the second coming of Larry Birds team. Talk smack when you can back it up, your fan base acted like you rolled the Valley last year and now it is coming back to bite you.

Just for the record, my comment wasn't trolling. I knew you guys were struggling, but have only really paid attention to the top, CU,WSU, UNI and MSU. When I looked at the standings, I was shocked that you guys were struggling this badly. I didn't have ISU Blue penciled in at third in the preseason, but I had them nowhere near 2-6 right now.

I actually voted them 4th in the preseason poll here. I don't mind fans talking that can back it up, but it got a little ridiculous here in the summer and preseason if you ask me.

I said nothing about my fans or your fans. Just you. Board guidelines are meant for everyone, not just some of us.

If you had an issue with the way fans from Indiana State were posting last year you should have reported it. Check my post history, cause I wasn't posting any of that nonsense.
