First Thoughts: Iowa State Cyclones (again)

PrintUPDATE: Link to KU Law School article about Bensa singing the National Anthem tomorrow night. As stated before, we'll all pulling for you and you better knock 'em dead.
Pictures speak a thousand words - do they not? There's not much to say about this game. Iowa State is currently using an eight man rotation, just as the Jayhawks are. Only, they are doing so because that's all they have left on the roster. I couldn't even fill out a full backcourt and frontcourt comparison because the Cyclones don't have the players to do so. Undoubtedly, the most exciting part of Saturday's game will be that one of our very own - Bensa - will be singing the National Anthem ahead of tipoff. Knock 'em dead, Bensa and do us proud. (video to come) Thank StatSheet.com for your preview today.
Record: 13-11 (2-7)
Best Win(s): USL, Bradley, @Nebraska, Colorado
Worst Loss(es): Northwestern, @Oklahoma

Just remember, Bensa
It’s perfectly natural for a male’s voice to crack like that. I’m sure everyone will be very understanding.
Also, if we lose this game, I’m blaming you forever.
"Here are our top priorities: recruit, beat Missouri, recruit, win the North, recruit, win the Big 12, and in most cases if you win the Big 12 then you're playing for a National Championship. And then we're going to recruit."

Man, oh man.
You have no idea how much blame I’d put on myself if we lose this game. Talk about a true heartbreak. I might never sing another note if we lose this game.
Operation 39-1 is a go. Proceed to target.
I'm guessing this game won't be on cable?
Don't Fuccop Succop

It's on ESPNU, if you get that
I know not every cable provider carries it.

It's not like being there, ...
or even quite like seeing it on TV, but I think we’ve been able to watch every game so far using http://www.channelsurfing.net/
Damn....
look at that head shot from the KU Law article…Bensa looks like f’n David Copperfield or something on….can’t wait to see the video.
52 Conference Championships!! Holy Hell...Good Luck with That!!
nice article
and really glad to hear you’re raising your son right.
Thanks, Denver
I knew the ribbing about the head shot wouldn’t take long to start. And here we go…

no prob...
in all seriousness though, this is very cool. Happy for you and best of luck this weekend. I hope the ribbing isn’t too harsh.
52 Conference Championships!! Holy Hell...Good Luck with That!!
Nah, I can handle it.
As long as SherroncollinsismyheroandIwannahavehisbabies doesn’t get in on it, I’ll be fine.

KUGrad...???
can we get a photoshop…Bensa with Tom Selleck mustache = GOLD, pure gold
52 Conference Championships!! Holy Hell...Good Luck with That!!
There it is.
I wonder if I can grow one by tomorrow night. Probably not, I’m afraid.

thought about connecting the eyebrows
but couldn’t bring myself to do it
Glad I came, just wish I hadn't stayed so long.
Nice article Bensa.
Good luck tomorrow, though it looks like you’re well prepared.

Too bad we're not playing KState, ...
You could have borrowed one from that Wildcat “lady” they kept showing.
oh hell yes...
this is my first nomination for the Hall of Fame…not sure what category it falls in but this is classic. I feel like I’m looking at a young Robert Goulet!!!
52 Conference Championships!! Holy Hell...Good Luck with That!!
That. Is. AWESOME!!!
Seriously, the wifey just LOL’d big time.
Operation 39-1 is a go. Proceed to target.
there are just so many things we could do...
with the Bensa Goulet head. I mean if I was only good at photoshop I’d be kicking these things out like crazy.
52 Conference Championships!! Holy Hell...Good Luck with That!!
I agree with this.
If I had any photochop experience, I’d be cranking out material all day. Instead, I’ll just wait for even bigger losers to do it for me =)
A little rudeness and disrespect can elevate a meaningless interaction to a battle of wills and add drama to an otherwise dull day.

I have enlisted reinforcements...
there could be an ode to mustached Bensa coming in the next few days.
52 Conference Championships!! Holy Hell...Good Luck with That!!
Oh no.
I knew this would happen. Somewhere in the deep recesses of my mind, I knew putting my head shot in that article would end up really blowing up in my face.
Oh well, at least I like you guys.
Operation 39-1 is a go. Proceed to target.
this is going to be tastefully done my friend...
someday you’ll be able to show your grandchildren and they will probably not laugh, instead wondering what the hell people were doing carrying on conversations through a blog.
52 Conference Championships!! Holy Hell...Good Luck with That!!
Nah,
I’m not really concerned. I’m enjoying it just as much as you guys are, trust me.
Operation 39-1 is a go. Proceed to target.
And here we go...
Odds I ever live this down? 1,000,000 to 1.

Dude.
You’re singing the fucking national anthem at The Phog. Are you kidding me? What the hell do you have to live down? I’d pay a lot of money in tiny installments over the next 60 years to be able to do that. You’re going to be on the court of courts. The center of the unofficial basketball hall of fame museum. Any mocking I send your way is out of pure jealousy that you have this opportunity at all.

had to go and one up me
But that is a definite upgrade
Glad I came, just wish I hadn't stayed so long.
I've fixed some of the article for you too...
Before…
Winters already juggles an arduous first-year law school schedule with family life; he and his wife, Ashley, have a 2-year-old son, Cooper. Adding rehearsals and performances to the mix makes for a difficult balancing act.

I did mention live-blogging the games
but RCT did not make the cut, I’m afraid.

WHAT!!!...
clearly this must have been written by some hack of a journalist if they elected to omit the RCT mention.

Hey
am I the only that has f’d up formatting on the pages today? All of the fanposts and fanshots are all the way down at the bottom of the page.
Glad I came, just wish I hadn't stayed so long.
Mine's screwed up too.
Lots of extra space at the top before the content shows up.

my guess is it's something...
they are working on with the facebook integration maybe…not sure.

Royals Review
is the same way, so I’m sure it’s something over your pay grade.

I'm going to blame it...
on this ridiculous KY ad that seems to be running on the entire SB Nation.
52 Conference Championships!! Holy Hell...Good Luck with That!!
I think you're right.
Looks like they wanted to give the ads a different look and it’s dorked up the formatting.

This should be fixed now.
Was actually entirely unrelated to Facebook Connect – just a coincidental server problem.
proud to be creative director for SB Nation
hate it when those coincidences line up with changes
Glad I came, just wish I hadn't stayed so long.
Like I'm supposed to actually do work on a Friday afternoon...
