Some good nuggets in this, esp the talk about Payne playing with pneumonia.

[Hooper]

He is a tough kid. A lot tougher than his detractors it seems to me.

Would the team doctors really let him play in he actually was in the throes of pneumonia? With all the law suits these days, I seriously doubt it.

[storminspank]

Yeah, you're right. I bet Cully is just lying... really??

?????

He probably has a mild case or has walking pneumonia.

[tweeterhawk]

Probably just H1N1. Iowa's the pig state after all, isn't it? Nothing to worry about.

Payne is a tough kid. I am undecided on him as a player as of yet. He is young I know, just now sure yet if he is the point guard I think should be running a big ten team. Next year will tell us a lot about him. I would love it if he was our back-up for the next 3 years, that the role that would be best for him and the Hawks.

Cully has shown a lot of improvement from the start of the year. He is starting as a fresman so what would make you believe he would be a back up the next three yera? Unless BJ or Woolridge come back Cully is going to start all four years at Iowa and go down as a darn good point guard. His shot needs to be more consistent, but other than that he has handled the ball well, is finding open guys, rebounds well and plays good defense.

[HawkI101]

He won't go down as a darn good point guard. He may have some inflated number totals because he will play for 4 years, but it shouldn't be starting on a big ten team. I have no problem with the kid and think he is a heck of a competitor I just won't color coat it like a lot of people are doing.

May I nominate you for Hawkeye fan of the year? You always bring so much substance with your posts supporting the Hawks.

[blkngoldUofI]

I guess if John Wall were to stay all four years at Kentucky his numbers would be inflated to. Your blaming Cully for getting to start four years which will indeed improve his numbers and kids that usually give an effort like Cully become fan favorites. What is it about Cully that makes you think he doesn't belong? He is no worse than Dean Oliver or Jeff Horner who some think were darn good point guards.

This kind of post makes absolutely no sense, and does not help your cause--assuming that your cause is to stand up for the team.

Who knows? His detractors may post detracting statments while ill with pneumonia.

[kadoering]

I think Cully will be a helluva player before he is finished. I love his toughness and that he is true point guard. We haven't had a true pt guard for a while.
