Just when you think you've seen the worst f***king call you'll ever f***king see, you see the fourth foul on Roby. These officials definitely deserve to be serving time in prison.

I thought on a touch foul you actually had to touch the guy. I'm not real sure he did.

5 f***ing terrible calls so far, yet no one dares question the integrity of the game.

Lord and Baby Jesus, these refs are not on the up and up.

That Double T call was f**king embarrassing. Almost as embarrassing as how bad this ESPN color announcer is.

Unfortunately if this season is anything like the previous 20 seasons they can expect to get hammered by the refs in at least 15 games, so they’d better get used to it.

If we don't beat Creighton this year... I'm not watching another game this season. And maybe not next season.

Maybe he can grad transfer to someplace like Northern Illinois and become the next Shaq of the MAC.

You know, if we'd just sign a Copeland and a Roby every year...

These refs; suck, they do.

From what prison did they dig up this ref. What a joke.

What a terrible f**ing call. What a pathetic f**king joke. F**king criminals.

Jordy had the court awareness of a 12 year old junior high girl who doesn't really like playing basketball and spends the entire game worrying about how her hair looks.

You don't hear any Crete fans walking around talking shit after that, we showed them... I say that we should do that to Creighton.

I quit making preseason predictions like this after I once predicted we'd go 34-4 and go to the Final Four. But, dammit, that team shouldn't have lost to Murray State. Shouldn't have lost at Colorado. Shouldn't have lost at home to Oklahoma State. Shouldn't have lost to Missouri in the Big 8 tournament. And then that would have made them 30-3, and a 1 seed. And then I could have possibly laid claim to one of the few accurate predictions I have made in my life.

Deak Vance is no longer the most disappointing junior college PF recruit in school history. Or maybe he is - he was supposed to be really good; if he'd gone to class and Hoppen stays healthy maybe we win a tournament game in 86? BJ Walker, Shang Ping, Amos Gregory, Alex Chapman, and George Mazyck might be in contention.

So what you are telling me, is that I'd hate it.

He was further down the bench than the guy with the greatest name ever - Hurl Beechum. Seriously, how did Iowa State have a class with Hoiberg, Meek-a-leek and Loren Meyer and go 23-33 in conference play in the four years they were there?

The point was that Meeks' junior averages were about the same as Ubel's junior averages, in similar sized schools in Kansas City. So - it's very possible he's at a similar talent level as Ubel. And if we could have added a junior or senior Brandon Ubel type of player to this year's roster...

As a junior, he helped Blue Valley West to the first round of the state tournament and a 15-8 record while posting nearly 16 points and six rebounds per game. Okay, this bio isn't from Zane Meek's bio, since he went to Shawnee Mission East in suburban Kansas City, Kansas and not Blue Valley West in suburban Kansas City, Kansas, and Shawnee Mission East went 14-10 and not 15-8. This is from Brandon Ubel's bio.

19-8. 33rd.

Was the investigation on Bowen coming from an FBI office in the state of Michigan? Maybe Michigan State was tipped off and deliberately steered clear on this one. Or maybe they're clean in this regard.

Gary Andersen was a very promising coach once. In his fourth year at Utah State he got them into the top 20 - they hadn't ended up in the ratings since 1961 - then went 20-7 at Wisconsin. Then he goes to Oregon State to replace Riley and now he might not ever coach again.

Update: Creighton avoids receiving the death penalty by agreeing to hire Mike Riley as head basketball coach.

Only if he says I Like Beer.
