Ready for the 2pm presser...

Well, would you root for Fred if he went to the hawks. I know most people in Iowa don't watch the NBA, but some of us follow teams and root hard against other ones.

Understood. So are you rooting against Fred because you're a Cavs fan or something? Most people on this board rooting against Fred are just bitter, I get that. Time to let it go though.
 
Fred killed that press conference. Which is no surprise. He is great at everything he does.

Posts like this are the absolute worst. It's so transparent and self serving. We get it, you want people to think you're above negativity, no one cares.
 
Thought he sounded just a little nervous on the radio but fine. I thought he came across just fine like expected. Don't know how you could be bitter after he spent the first 5-10 minutes talking about ISU and Ames, WHILE interviewing in Chicago with the Bulls. Come on man... If the players are happy for him you need to get over yourselves.

Seriously, the way the have handled themselves throughout this process is pretty awesome. Shows great maturity and resiliency. Any posters that criticize the mental aspect of their game next year don't have very solid ground with the way they have acted compared to the team.

I hate the Yankees. Am I only allowed to do that if I'm not a Red Sox or Mets fan? I also hate the Lakers. Can I not do that if I'm not a Celtics can? Just trying to get clarification of what teams I have to like just to be allowed to hate another team.

No, I'm not above negativity. I never said that. There are plenty of turds I want to see fail. Fred is not one of them.

Uh, no. I was just responding to someone who said that it was okay to hate the Bulls just because. And that's fine for anyone to do. But today, on the day they are taking our sweet Hoiberg away, my money is on that person being a bitter ISU fan. Not saying that's everyone. I just doubt there are so many Bulls haters on this board.
 
Meeting with the team (ISU) on Friday to talk to them. Loved hearing the media not softball every question, quite a change from the Iowa media that doesn't want to lose access to the teams (looking at Ia City)
 
Don't listen to him, he is still butt sore about Fred leaving. If Fred thinks he can do it, then I believe him.

Do you watch the NBA? The Bulls roster is in no way setup to make a championship run. Aging front court, superstar made of glass that is already passed his prime due to injuries, mediocre bench and a budding young all star off guard who's a free agent and thought to be looking to move on.

It's nothing to do with 'butt hurt', it's everything to do with looking through the most basic of coach speak. What do you think Fred is going to say? "Hopefully we make the playoffs!"? It's realistic to think that the Bulls might be staring down that lower Eastern Conference playoff purgatory range where they are good enough to get a first round beatdown but not bad enough to bring in actual talent in the draft.

It's a tried and true Chicago tactic. This year is always their year, in everything, because they are Chicago, and apparently the people there are predominantly morons.

Really, right now Fred is the only thing keeping me from absolutely hating the Bulls. If anything, he's made me hate them (slightly) less than I used to.
 
Why can't they?
