Tough day for EIU hoops hopes

Did I hear correctly that 7,653 was the listed attendance for the Iowa men’s basketball game? The students must really love Mad Fran.

9000 days Of what? rapes sexism, agism, nepotism, stealing from the state, and trying to rhabdo kill athletes? I'm sure I'm missing a few -isms in there.

True I should have been more specific.

I feel like you aren't being fair. Kirk Ferentz did solve racism. He even created a committee (later disbanded).
 
Certainly will be a test again of Fran’s evaluation skills. All I’m saying is from what I’ve seen it’s more likely he’ll be solid P5 guard than not. You think he’ll stink, I guess we’ll see.
When was the last time Fran recruited a guard that was any good. I'll grant you that Tony Perkins has turned out to be ok. Jok was good, but was basically a Fred reject. So what, two guards in 13 seasons?
 
Well guess I wont be watching the Hawks since it is on Big Ten + … wonder if that will get over 5,000 viewers tonight?
My father in law who is a huge hawk fan and my wife and I share a YTTV subscription with called us last night irate, asking why he couldn't find the Hawk game on the YTTV. I had her relay to him that Big Ten+ is not part of YTTV package. He continued to be irrationally upset, and accused me of not trying hard enough to get Big Ten+ because I am an Iowa State fan. He said if it were an Iowa State game I would go through hell or high water to get it. I had my wife tell him yeah, no ****, I'm an Iowa State fan. I am not going to pay for a Big 10+ subscription for him. I'm still not sure he understood and thinks I am purposefully withholding Big 10+ access from him. Boomers sometimes, man...

Sounds a little passive/aggressive on your part. OTOH, the old fart deserves it!

Fran struggles mightily to recruit good guards and talented black players. That is not a recipe for success.
