I suspect we'll have another "cheating motherf***ing refs!" moment by the end of the month if things continue the way they're trending. Francon is building slowly right now, but it is building, and there will be an eruption.
The Fran fade
- Thread starter CyTwins
- Start date
I think the only reason he hasn’t gone ballistic is there isn’t crowds in the arenas talking smack to him.
For him to get 2 early fouls called, they must have been very very obvious, or the officials were really good
Really?
Listen to him sometime. What is the score? Who has the ball? How much time is left?
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Worse, he talks about stuff during live game play. He will be sharing some dumb stat like BoBo is 2 out of his last 3, meanwhile the other team has made a couple passes, taken a shot, got a rebound, and is resetting their offense. Just awful at PxP.
I see BC mentions football, which is just as bad.
I appreciate how hard Garza works on the offensive end of the court but B1G officials have basically made him unguardable. They let him throw his weight around WAY too much and he hooks all the time. Every time he bagns into a defender the refs tend to either let it go or call it a defensive foul. They also let him leverage his size to gain position inside but as soon as a defender "leans" on him they call a foul.

Iowa's remaining schedule:

Iowa will probably win 3 or 4 games to finish the year, but that Penn State game is the only guaranteed win.
Because they can't. They are too limited in what they can do. There are too many things they can't do, like guard athletic teams.
I watched the first half of yesterdays game with my big time hawk homer father in law. He was so disgusted with the way it played out that he refused to watch the 2nd half. You're talking about a guy that makes anytime anything Hawkeyes is on TV appointment television. Just straight up wouldn't watch the 2nd half, not even when it was tied late in the half. I was following on my phone giving him updates while we watched the Waste Management Open. He can't stand Fran and he can't stand Fran playing his garbage kids so much. He even hates Jorbo. I think the rose perfumed scent is wearing off this turd.
That Rutgers game is intriguing too. Rutgers has won 4 straight and CJ is likely out again Wednesday.
I'd be shocked if they lose this one. I see them hitting a bunch of 3s early and coasting.
However Rutgers should have beaten them earlier this year so who knows.
Rutgers big guy was too much inside for Garza. Forced him outside.
