The Fran fade

[Legend Hawk]

That's one way to wave the white flag

No white flag at all, you thought you heard something that was never said, it happens.

"They'll dunk on you with an 8 point lead and 12 seconds left.

They'll get in an argument with an official after a game ends.

They'll blow kisses, pound chests, talk trash. They are the Iowa's men's basketball players of 2020, and they play with a hard, completive edge. It's the kind of thing you might hate and find punkish if you're not one of their fans."

I did just listen, he didn't say it. He did say Joe and CJ are gonna be a great backcourt for Iowa for 3+ years. I know you always agree with Condon, so you think this as well.

I'm not sure how this thread got off the rails, but in an attempt to get it back on track. What do you think causes the Fran Fade? I personally think it's because he just screams at his players all year and wears them out. They don't want to play for him by the end of the year. That and Fran is a low major coach. Teams know how to make adjustments against him once they see what he's doing. So they usually lose the 2nd game against conference opponents. Fred has seen him enough that he just runs circles around him.

This thread is exactly as the op intended.

That is one way to triple down on hearing what no one else does.

I understand how this bothers you when you have to watch that soft team that Prohm trots out there all season.

Kind of like ISU in their hay day under Fred.

"I apologize if I offended any of their players or coaches" said Wieskamp, "because in no way did I mean that against them, I guess."

See who says Fran doesn’t develop players?

You just listened to two hours of a week old podcast?

No. You said 2nd hour, and only the first segment was about the Hawks.

I think it's weird that Fran has made a habit of pulling his team off the floor to not shake hands as a way to attempt to enforce the unwritten rules of basketball and doing things the "right way." All this while having a reputation for getting thrown out of games, being suspended, and chasing down refs after a game to call them cheaters. Keep being amazing Fran.

Keep being bitter, Clone fans.

I only caught the second hour and they were talking about it then. That's when I heard it

You guys have a problem with Joe W dunking while Illinois is still in a full court press?

Seriously?

Most sensible people don't. The 16 year olds on here do, though.

Twins is obviously a Russian asset used to troll in order to divide even Iowa State fans. Damn you, Putin

Who knew quoting an Eastern Iowa journalist would be so bad?
