    Not just culture, but also in-game coaching. CSP was the tactical equivalent of a Muppet, no surprise the smart coaches in the Big12 ran circles around him.

    LOFL. I wish I had thought of the whale song, that is funny af. I will absolutely be doing that sound while watching tourney when he is on screen. Reminds me of the "Biiig Teeennnn Foooootbaaallllll" slow-motion commercial with the walruses blasting against each other.

    Should Iowa Move On from Mad Fran?

    Agree, but Creighton might be a better job for McD. Fit is a big deal. Off topic, but OSU should go after someone young and hungry. Old and experienced isn't what they need to turn things around. IMHO.

    Should Iowa Move On from Mad Fran?

    As an ISU fan, they should absolutely keep him- lifetime contract and bring Barta back too. LOFL. From a purely professional and rational analysis standpoint, if I was Beth- I would give him one more year. Not because he deserves it, really. But to reduce the buyout, and because he DID go to...

    Iowa State is the new Press Virginia

    I have to totally disagree with the West Virginia comp. Those Huggy teams didnt really play defense - they just fouled, hacked, pushed, and cheap shotted you to death. Huggy coached them how to do this when it was most likely the refs attention qould be elsewhere. He outright stated his...

    Lol. Thats not in the top 5 of dumb things ive posted. Though perhaps not super clear. Painter sucks. He gets quality land whales at center to plow thru the B1G every year, and then he gets beat on the perimeter and outcoached in the tourney every year. And Fran is demonstrably worse, just in...

    Painter has had THREE S16s plus an E8 appearance out of those 8 appearances. That's 9 wins. How many does Fran have? Four, with zero S16s of course. Also, Painter is a terrible coach.

    100% agree. The calculus will be- can they increase revenue (tickets, donations, etc) enough to make up for a buyout? Frankly, I don't think it would change fast enough to be worth it, but barring a major turnaround next year, I think he will be gone after that.

    He is literally from Cascade. His folks farmed for ages. Can confirm he is a midwest, specifically Iowa, guy.

    Why is life worth living?

    You will be better off in the not-so-long run. Divorced ~6 years ago. After 24 years of marriage. Kids were adults, so that was good. The reality is I have dodged a bullet. Lots of problems there that I was putting up with, and they have only got worse. So glad they are not my problems...

    "somewhat inconsistent" is sugar coating it. One night in 3, he was very good offensively. The other 3, he was a dumpster fire, 4 points on 9 shots and 5 turnovers type of thing. At least, this is how I remember it. He was better in year 2. Good Gabe / Bad Gabe. If you were high, and...

    Well, instead of having basically 1 guy who can score this team has OPTIONS. 2 years ago, you had Brockington, and you could HOPE that Gabe or Grill would get hot. Last year, you had to hope TWO of Gabe, Holmes, Grill would get hot. Now, you have 3 guards that can all drive AND shoot the 3...

    Yeah, is that like Steve Leath's burner account or what? Such an axe to grind with TJ for no apparent reason. Must be personal.

    What did Otz screw up this game

    For the NCAAs I am expecting him to just come out in body paint.
