Down goes Iowa

Dr Tom was a very good, likeable person, and for the most part that carried over to the fan base. After Dr Tom the fan base got increasingly arrogant and obnoxious emulating Alford and Fran.

They're all Haydens to this day

Sorry to disagree, but Hawk fan arrogance is deeply rooted in Hayden Fry.

Now the EIU women need to follow suit - easy to root for the ISU Redbirds!

If the ball, the venue, and playing 4 games in 4 days are really a problem for you, maybe take the ball inside to your All-American.

6 out of 29 from three might also suggest the same thing. But, Keegan proudly proclaimed how he had several great kickouts to shooters. So, maybe the ball did go inside but he didn't want to work for his points.

They were 5 of 27 vs us.

I notice a lot of Iowa fans on twitter coming back at Georges and Monte as if AUB was the only NCAA game they ever played. Pretty sure they both won 2x or 3x as many post season games as any Iowa player since the early 90s.

They are still living on 1980 so going back is there wheelhouse.

The funny thing is most of them weren’t alive in 1980.

If this has been posted then sorry but apparently Mr. Vitale's bracket has exploded. In part because of his misplaced confidence in Fuming Frans ability to win a tournament game.

Damn. His Natty game is already eliminated! Hoping Dickie V gets another crack at it next year!

Fran has always shown recruiting prowess in the transfer portal

Doing it the "right" way!

This. That's where it all started. He's a scum bag

He's the genesis of it. Prior to him, they had nothing.

Always has had a stink to it that they based their identity on a guy who got SMU the death penalty.

 

[IASTATE07]

Reading HR it's funny watching posters trying to find balance between complaining about the refs, but not blaming the officials for losing the game like "clown" fans would.

Agreed on Fry. He started the Iowa arrogance. Iowa fans + media were so starved for success - they bought into what he was selling - and we were wiling to look the other way on how he got there.

I've always maintained that when college teams get really good really quickly (like Iowa did in Football with Fry) you have to wonder....

The guy was a crook.

As much as I despised the late Hayden Fry, he was long gone from SMU when Ron Meyer led the Pony Express to the death penalty. The severity of that sanction supposedly saved ISU when the cheating Jim Criner led us astray

hi i only watched one time this year when we kicked there ass will not waste my time but was thinking who would you pick first fizer or murrury

Fizer played defense and wouldn’t be muscled out of his offense . Can you imagine this years Cyclones with him? Murray would move the offensive needle some but maybe give it back up on D. Fizer all day every day and twice on Sundays.

Tavern Hawks and their fawning press were abrasive in the 70s and early 80s. They were obnoxious long before Dr. Tom.
