You hate to see it.

This won't be Fran's make or break season. He will have next year at a minimum if he choses to stay.

I'm afraid you are probably correct. Would be great if he hung it up with Patrick's last year. But I doubt he will. He knows he can get fired and get a nice buyout like most coaches get nowadays.

I was in attendance. Crowd wasnt terrible as far as attendence goes, but it certainly wasnt loud. Best part of the game was Margret running around to the tunnel to give Fran a standing ovation as he walked off the court. She then proceeded to lean over the donors sitting courtside to yell at the refs on her way back to her seat.

What a couple of lunatics….understandable why Connie is the dickwad he is , I have some empathy for Patrick for having to grow up in that ********. Franny put him in a no win situation….. he is not a tiny ten type BB. Better suited to the Mo Valley. Good luck to him as he sorts out his mental health issues.

Supper time must be a hoot at the McCaffery's

Marge, Fran, Connor, and Caitlyn. Doesn't get more unlikable than that.

Can you imagine what happens at Christmas if they're playing Monopoly and Patrick accidentally takes too much money from the bank?

YOU CHEATING MOTHER ****** followed by 42 minutes of staring.

What's more incredible is the amount of Hok fans that think this type of thing is perfectly fine.

The Big 10 isn't very good this year. There will be nights where they are hitting and can beat just about anyone in the conference. But also a lot of games where the 3's aren't falling and they get smoked.

Especially when it look much more like 5000 actually in the seats

They need a CC bobblehead promotion but instead of the head moving, it would be her hand in front of her face going back and forth. They'd pack that toilet bowl to the rim.

Fran spent more on recruiting than Kirk did on football. Kinda makes you wonder what he did with all the money.

Fran already getting creative w/ revenue streams for next year:

It’s kind of embarrassing that your winningest coach has never made the sweet 16 and you are a big ten school

They have been seeded pretty high at times too. Then complain about matchup when they lose.

 

[Halincandenza]

Iowa is in bad shape. And if you look at next year it looks bad as well. Fran is not a good recruiter and he still prefers lowly ranked HS kids over making the team better in the portal.

You try opening up against the 6th place team in the A10. They could even dribble between their legs!

Things are coming crashing to a hault for Fran and I'm here for it. His recruiting has been so poor he can only hope Freeman can turn into Garza.

Thug free since 2005!

...Sweet 16 free for much much longer!

Correct. He isn't getting fired unless he hits somebody. Not ruling that out....

LMAO fair point

I about spit up reading that! Funny stuff

I don't believe that for a second though. My guess it's how the expenses are recorded.

If this is the attendance for the opening conference game on a beautiful Sunday afternoon in December, can you imagine what it's gonna look like in February?

Iowa is the epitome of fair weather fans.
