The Fran fade
- Thread starter CyTwins
- Start date
Pretty much at the "keep throwing **** at the wall and hoping something sticks stage". Iowa will fail at some point and he will bask in the glory! LOL
Its almost to the point where I side with the Iowa trolls over Twins
Listen, I agree with you but was playing devil's advocate. Iowa was better than Ohio State, even though they got the doors blown off by them earlier in the year. My point was more that using one game out of the year to determine the overall success of that year, or even when comparing two teams, isn't necessarily valid. With all of that being said, the argument you made earlier in which you brought up multiple other variables holds a lot more truth and I wouldn't want to argue with it.
Iowa had a good year last year and the fact that they were close to a Sweet 16 makes the argument for them being better than Iowa State greater. Had the roles been flipped, I think there is probably less of an argument.
To be truthful, when things like Florida A & M happen, I do find SOME humor in it and in good nature dish out some crap about it knowing full well the shoe will be on the other foot someday. That being said, I don't sit around day after day hoping or wanting the Cyclones to fail.
Predicting a Fran McCaffery team to fade down the stretch is throwing **** at the wall? Lol
Starting to believe Twins is an Iowa fan from HN that’s trolling ISU fans.
It's going to take me a while to sift through your thousands of posts in the other thread, but give me a few minutes...
Iowa and ISU basically had the same year last year in overall record and conference record. So in that case, I'd say the NCAA is the tie breaker, as to who had a better year, and I don't think that is really even debatable. You notice I'm not claiming they were "better", as that is much murkier, as there are way too many ways to define "better".
Iowa was in the NIT that year, and I'm assuming ISU was in the NCAA Tournament as Fred always made the NCAA tournament. So I'd say ISU. Why the blast from the past?
Either way what Cytwins does is just crazy. I mean he knows ISU and Iowa up and down. He knows who both are recruiting, he knows the lineups of each team forwards and backwards, he gives updates on both teams recruits and who is going where, he has claimed to call out if Iowa and ISU kids are staying or transferring.
He is either a Clone fan completely and totally obsessed with Iowa, or an Iowa fan completely and totally obsessed with ISU, and has been like this every day for the past 7, 8 or 9 years.
Completely agree. Iowa beat us head to head, Iowa State probably had more quality wins and ended up rattling off 3 straight quality wins to win the Big 12 tournament and bump up their seed / rating. However Iowa then goes and plays better in the tournament. It's an argument that really means nothing and is impossible to say without the two of them playing at the end of the year.
Iowa State was rated in the final AP poll while Iowa was not, so that helps Iowa State's argument, but still doesn't mean one way or another that they were better.
