    Where are the fans?

    Two things... 1) Des Moines is closer to Ames than IC...ISU needs to get fans to games from DM...the biggest city in Iowa and an easy drive to Ames. 2) Did you miss some of the ISU / iowa games in Ames in the mid 80s or just forget them because the outcomes were painful. The bottom line is...

    Where are the fans?

    I agree. I don't know where all of this elitist, arrogant, condescending attitude about the only way to be a true die-hard fan is to have graduated from ISU comes from. I graduated from ISU and I would like to see us have a very large bandwagon of fans that are non-graduates. That would be...

    Where are the fans?

    This is ridiculous. The stadium, video screen, and sound system do not create the electric atmosphere. An electric atmosphere is created by the team, competitive opposition, the fans, and gameday traditions that cannot be missed.

    Walters: ISU hires McRoy

    Generally, I agree with the highlighted portion. However, KU has been good because they have had the right coaches (ie: top quality coaches) over the last couple of decades....just a point of clarification. But the general point of program consistency coming from having quality coaches is...

    Walters: ISU hires McRoy

    I know that Schafer was a transfer from Illinois (University of...not a JUCO) and that Cato was a transfer from South Alabama...again not a JUCO. And I am pretty certain (but could be wrong) that Willoughby was a transfer from UNO...once again not a JUCO.

    Walters: ISU hires McRoy

    The reality (and sad thing) is that most of the people on this site blindly agree with everything our coach does...no matter his prior experience. Just look at McDermott...we still had a sizable number of people (over 50% by most polls as I recall) that were 100% on board with everything he was...

    Best College Football Game Ever?

    1971 Nebraska 35 - Oklahoma 31 in Norman...back when the Big 8 was absolutely loaded in FB.

    Hoiberg to hire Terry Carroll?

    Actually, yes, I have met him. I'm making no assumptions...he just disappeared without telling anyone anything in Denver...I don't care what the "situation" was...that is totally unacceptable behavior. Guys stuck at the JUCO level that don't have any other options often tell people they...

    Hoiberg to hire Terry Carroll?

    Ya think?!?! He basically went AWOL during the middle of his last season at Denver...just disappeared without notifying anyone as I recall. They later called it a "leave of absence" but they ended up replacing him because, frankly, it appeared to everyone that he just was not very stable...

    Fred H. Contract Details

    You are referencing VI.3 that I mentioned earlier...correct? "The parties acknowledge that Hoiberg was recruited as head Men's Basketball coach with the understanding that University does not intend to increase its academic admissibility and/or eligibility standards beyond the academic...

    "Debbie Downer" Moment

    Yeah, and a lot of people leave and don't end up moving back as well...especially if they move south and learn that the winters in Iowa absolutely suck. DM and central Iowa are fine places but there are many other fine places as well...ones where you don't freeze your hind end off for months on...

    "Debbie Downer" Moment

    What are you on...the 8 or 9 year plan at ISU!!!!

    Fred H. Contract Details

    Item VI.3 is interesting...I wonder if that is standard language or something Hoiberg demanded.

    Fred H. Contract Details

    A. I didn't realize this was exclusively of his doing. and B. I'll wait to pass judgment until I see them suit up for the Cyclones against Big 12 caliber competition.

    GRAYER RETURNING TO MICHIGAN

    I certainly had concerns about the Hoiberg hire...I still do...but I have certainly warmed to it because of his actions since he was given the position a few months ago. He appears to have the sense of urgency (ie: win and win now) that we need to have in the program. He also made a very solid...

    GRAYER RETURNING TO MICHIGAN

    No one in this thread specifically...but I am referring to the overall general sense of euphoria that existed (and still exists) when Hoiberg was hired.

    GRAYER RETURNING TO MICHIGAN

    Oh, pardon me, I didn't know that speculation was illegal on this site. I never accused anyone (staff or administration) of anything unsavory. My ire is typically (and in this case) pointed at the many posters on this site that talk out of both sides of their mouths...ie: Hoiberg is a perfect...

    Actually, you are...it's "aspersions". FYI.

    GRAYER RETURNING TO MICHIGAN

    Now there is something I can agree on...McDermott was a veritable grim reaper for ISU MBB...everything he touched was akin to death.
