It's definitely Jaacks. You can look for hours and it'll be him.

[hawkeyecub]

You guys are reaching, Bob already got it. It's Jake Jaacks in a landslide. J.R. Koch is closer than anyone else mentioned.

[NeifiIsMyHomeBoy]

So Tate said today that Weber has two more years before he will even begin to be evaluated. So we could miss 5 of 6 tournys before Guenther decides it's time to start thinking about shaking things up. Why can't he be my boss?

 

I figured this would be the case. Disappointing to say the least.

I'm too young for Jake Jaacks. I did find this while googling him though.

Iowa hasn't had a player worthy of being named MVP of the team since '07

There are some easy Lickliter jokes or quotes to use there about team/individual/spirit.

 

You can't be too young to remember Jaacks, his senior year was Alford's first year. I always assumed you were in my age range (mid-late 20's).

Same. I'm totally perplexed now.

2013 SG Kendall Stephens committed to Purdue today (he had offers from Illinois, Wisconsin, Northwestern, and DePaul). Interesting coming a day after Purdue beat Illinois. PG Bryson Scott had already committed for 2013. I believe they'll both be 4 Star guys.

 

Stephens' dad played for Purdue too... I'm sure that didn't hurt...

Yeah, [expletive]. I remember Jaacks and I'm not old like you (SSR)

Nice to see us not lose out on the son of a former Boiler.

He's a good kid. His HS coach is awful though.

unreal night by Jacob Pullen. Being #1 was about the worst thing that could happen to this team.

Not for us. We showed up to play. Wish we could put forward this type of effort every game. We've finally showed our talent on D tonight. We need 3 more wins out of the last 5 to have a shot at the tourney.

[Guest]

I really hope ESPN doesn't keep showing both coaches on the left side of the screen the entire time for future games.

[snoodmonger]

I don't like watching my team lose, but it happens. But I do hate when my team shows no heart AND somehow also acts like arrogant pricks.

I was glad Texas didn't end up #1. Now they get to go to Nebraska as the #2 on Saturday.

[SouthSideRyan]

I guess I just never noticed him. I do remember Jess Settles's 15 year career if that helps

I'm sure that DePaul didn't really have a strong shot of getting him, but damn you for stealing him away from DePaul. We need him a lot more than you!

[UMFan83]

Speaking of DePaul, if it weren't for a semi-flukey buzzer beater against Marquette last year, DePaul would be going for it's 50th consecutive Big East loss in their next game. As it is they are 1-48 in their last 49 (regular season) Big East games. How is that even possible?

was it that long ago? lol

 

i remember him just for his crappy name and hooligan playing style.

[hawkeyecub]

He was kind of a mix between Chris Kramer and one of IU's big goons. He had a decent amount of skill though he got a lot of garbage stuff and statsheet says he averaged 12 and 7 his senior year. He was just as chippy, sneaky, dirty as they get for big guys like that and also liked to flop and argue. Going by Jake Jaacks (pronounced Jakes) was the cherry on top.

 

I seem to remember him getting in a near fight at IU. Did Knight have one of his guys throw the ball of his face on an inbounds pass? I remember him having a bloodied face for some reason.

It's pitiful. They were actually a decent team when I was there.

 

All hail Tommy Kleinschmidt!

I was looking at some recruiting stuff last night and DePaul has a bunch of offers out to top players. Stephens had ties to Purdue and Weber so I think it was always going to be one of the two. Is DePaul ever going to get an arena on campus?

[Ding Dong Johnson]

I'm glad we could all reminisce about Mr. Jaacks. Ah, good times...

Have you ever been to Lincoln Park? Not happening unless they want to buy about 100 multi million dollar properties, have them rezoned, and have a bunch of millionaires agree to it.

 

Maybe something by the Kennedy between North and Fullerton, but not technically on campus.
