Graham Couch: Iowa Basketball is a mid-major roster

Wrong.

He uses AP for his Top 25 and Sagarin for rankings outside the Top 25 as well as SOS.

Once it was clear that neither Iowa nor ISU was going to finish the year ranked in the AP Top 25 and Iowa would finish higher in Sagarin, he trolled saying that since ISU received more votes in the AP poll that they had the better season.

Its really a pathetic attempt since it was one of the most successful seasons in ISU history and a slightly above average season for Iowa under KF.

Hope this helps.

Ok now you're arguing something different. Before you were arguing with math.

Eerily similar to discrediting what PFF says about Montgomery, yet praising it for Jackson.
 
When will there be a Cytwins pledge to not troll?

You want him to make up a statement and then ignore it also? Seems kinda pointless to pledge something and not follow it.

To be frank, I havent really trolled since this pledge. Maybe with Twins a couple times but that is pretty much it.

I enjoy the logical, objective discussions I can have with most ISU fans on this board though.
 
This can depend. Out of Curiosity, How high of a ceiling do you think a Fran coached team can get to?

The ceiling for Iowa under Fran?

Thats hard to say really because the NCAA tourney is such a crap shoot.

Hes finished 6th, T-3rd, T-3rd, T-5th in the B1G the 4 seasons prior to 2017-2018 and had 3 NCAA tourney appearances in those 4 seasons (not trying to start a First Four debate).

If he can consistently finish in the top half of the B1G and make the tourney 3 out of every 4 years I would be happy.

You're happy about winning two NCAA tournament games in eight years? Wow. Your fanbase pushed out Dr. Tom for achieving more.

First off, that part of the fanbase and Bowlsby are morons and idiots for pushing out Davis.

I was expecting Fran to have Iowa back in tourney by year 3, he did it in year 4. Last year was completely unacceptable and I will be ready for him to be gone if Iowa misses the tourney this coming season.

Again, it really is a crap shoot in the tourney. Get there 3 out of 4 years and I will be happy and take our chances.

I don’t think getting into the tourney is that big of a crap shoot. 7/10 teams in a conference make it? Just don’t have a complete rebuild like we did this year and it will be fine. Iowa lost, what, one player from last year? They weren’t a tourney team last year and went backwards with experience this year.

You can always block me if you dont want to read my posts. I enjoy having discussions with logical, objective Clone fans.
Your main reason given here has always been "Hawk Talk" yet you constantly talk about ISU.
And in your desire for "Hawk Talk" you didn't remember anyone but Ed Cunningham being concerned about the health of an Iowa football player.
That right there shows you aren't trying very hard to be rational.
