    Bubu Palo

    Anyone else think he is similar to Dodie Dunson? Through 13 games (and the difficulty of the schedules are pretty even): Dunson, 19 min/gm, 4.2 pts/gm, 1.7 rb/gm, 1.1 assist/gm, .5 TO/gm, 31% on threes (10-32), 90% on FT (9-10). Bubu, 12.6 min/gm, 4.2 pts/gm, 1.8 rb/gm, 1.2 assist/gm, .5...

    Did you catch the .......Who's a better hire, McCaffery or Hoiberg

    Only if we plan on chasing our tail.

    Did you catch the .......Who's a better hire, McCaffery or Hoiberg

    UNI has that covered, plus with the Big 12 we will have plenty of quality wins. If Iowa gets too bad, maybe we can drop them.

    Did you catch the .......Who's a better hire, McCaffery or Hoiberg

    I would have been indifferent....until Iowa hired BJ Armstrong and Lutz, who played chess in the off-season while Fran played checkers, and ISU got beat at home. Then I would be disappointed, and discouraged. As it is, I love how it turned out. I just hope Iowa keeps Fran long enough for them...

    Did you catch the .......Who's a better hire, McCaffery or Hoiberg

    I have no doubt Iowa basketball will continue traditional, boring Big 10 basketball. Having a hole in the ground as a facility is appropriate for that dead style of play. I would take Jacobson and Lutz's resume over Fran's any day. This thread is about Fred vs Fran, and as it has been found...

    Per Randy Peterson: DeMarcus Phillips to transfer

    Booker looks like a beast. He will fit in nicely next year.

    Like McDermott as bad fit and how his tenure will go.

    Did you know?

    Way to fish that one out. When was the last time the leading scorer took minutes or shots per game into consideration? The only context we have is comparing points per game. Do people really not realize there are always qualifiers with stats? Players from UT and KU have the advantage of...

    Did you catch the .......Who's a better hire, McCaffery or Hoiberg

    Your post was ignorant. There is no way around that. It was not meant as an ad hominem. Resorting to hyperbole? No one has said any of that. Fred has done a better job thus far. Even without Fred being John Wooden, there are reasons to believe Fran is the 4th best coach in the state of Iowa...

    5 year ISU outlook

    The future will be very, very good.

    Did you catch the .......Who's a better hire, McCaffery or Hoiberg

    How many coaches would take a roster of 3 plus 1 walk-on over a roster of 5 players? At a certain point, warm bodies is better than nothing. Do not get me wrong, I am pleased Fred has already passed Fran.

    Did you catch the .......Who's a better hire, McCaffery or Hoiberg

    Talk about superlatives, every program says that about their practice facility. Are they attaching it to that hole in the ground with the white bubble looking roof? Talk about lipstick on a pig. What system does Fran run? He reminds me of McDermott at ISU.

    Our BB schedule is a disgrace

    This may be the most worthless post in the thread. There are way too many people for there to be unanimous agreement on anything, and those are two different situations.

    Missouri blows past Northern Illinios, 97-61

    You are relying way too much on the transitive property.

    Did you catch the .......Who's a better hire, McCaffery or Hoiberg

    I did not say or imply that you posted Fred is a horrible coach or bad coach. I saying that you have not provided anything that is sufficient to back up your claims.

    Iowa's Robinson Arrested Last Night

    It is not really his fault, at SUI he usually gets advanced notice.

    Did you catch the .......Who's a better hire, McCaffery or Hoiberg

    heitclone, you have too many posts to respond to them all. However, there is no need to, as all of them are the same cliche commentary- using commonplace situations that occur to every coach, and labeling them as "the young, novice coach" got out-coached. Have you ever watched Bill Self? Coach...

    Did you catch the .......Who's a better hire, McCaffery or Hoiberg

    You do not know how many returning players each school had, yet you are telling others it is about being objective, not subjective? Sounds like you are more about being ignorant. Hard to take your opinion on this matter seriously.

    Mizzou 28 Iowa 17

    What you are comparing it to is irrelevant when the discussion was that Iowa, as a team that was one play away from being 6-6, is thrilled to be playing in the Insight bowl, while 10-2 and real BCS hopeful Missouri is not. I am sure you want to talk about Iowa being the best 7-5 team in...

    Mizzou 28 Iowa 17

    Really diminishes Iowa's season last year. And it does not go both ways. Iowa is one play away from 6-6, Missouri is not.
