Loved Ejim, but Niang had a greater impact on the culture of Iowa State basketball. It's not tangible, but it matters.
Hoiberg will attend the Baylor game (AS A FAN!)

I agree, Melvin would seem to be deserving, as others have stated Fizer and Tinsley didn't graduate and I don't mind keeping that requirement moving forward (if it is actually a thing).
I think a simply review of some of the posts will show you that at least 10-15 regular posters on here hate him with a passion.
Eh I disagree, without ejim there is no niang or hoiball
I think Willoughby is a guy who should get considered for hanging a jersey as well. Guy was a back to back HM all american.
I don't know if it is accurate but found an older Iowa State daily article that said there are no formal requirements.
There might be a few posters that actually dislike Fred for how he left. I would guess most posters that "hate" Fred don't like how Prohm is criticized by those that only show up when we lose.
There isn't a single reason why he shouldn't come back and visit. CSP obviously invited him back to speak at some point this season. It speaks well to CSP and how secure he is.....a few posters should follow his cue instead of hating CFH and calling him the worst coach in the NBA.
And you can see the difference between those posters within this thread. Some are open about how they were pissed when Fred left. Other posters have six or seven posts talking about what a terrible coach he is.
You are debating with a Hoiberg-hater. Don't try to talk facts....he isn't interested.
But I nearly always record the home games as well; sometimes it's tough to see the controversial calls/non-calls from the cheap seats (or why Huggy got T'd last time out, for example). At least I can ignore everything between the parts I want to review.
Do you think they could handle critiques after we win, too? I would guess some of them just can’t handle reading non-glowing posts at anytime. It must suck to be that miserable and sensitive in a good season, but it’s probably just PTSD from some dark Cyclone days of the 70’s and 80’s.
That's an awfully dramatic conclusion.
Hoiberg was still going to be our coach. We were still going to play that style. Niang was still going to be great at ISU.

Ejim and Hoiberg are the foundation of the resurgence. Niang doesn't matter nearly as much without Melvin setting the stage, and in Niang's accounts, setting Niang straight in practice following a nice headlock takedown of the freshman.
I don't see why some people are upset about this. I've seen a lot of chatter on Twitter about it. Fred and Carol's parents all live in Ames, Fred is Ames grown, went to Iowa State and coached. Why is him speaking to the team weird? He has NBA connections, and these players would love to speak to a guy like Fred Hoiberg. Some people just read too much into everything, and I honestly wonder how they function normally on a day to day basis.
Since you brought that up.... Is that title Texas' way of getting around the fact that McConaughey is probably rubbing elbows with recruits at TX Games?
No improper benefits here.....nope ...... no sir.
