    Who has writen a letter or email to Pollard?

    Yes, but in the email he admitted that all collegiate coaching contracts are "bad business deals". I'm not defending the contract as I am one of it's biggest critics, however, I thought Jamie acknowledging this fact was somewhat refreshing.

    Who has writen a letter or email to Pollard?

    I did email JP the week of the press conference. Said I was no longer financially supporting the program under the current coach. JP responded very respectfully and candidly saying that he wasn't a fan of the 9 year contract either but it was the right decision at the time.

    ISU vs. Creighton -- Nov. 21 next year

    Yep. Normally I wouldn't miss this game for anything. However, my apathy has been replaced with a more proactive mindset: Do not support this lame duck HC in any capacity.

    Hamilton to LSU

    Good luck to him. I will enjoy watching him in the NCAA tourney while we are executing the patented McDermott extended off-season.

    Chris Colvin

    Makes a lot of sense to me. The kid has potential. Probably realized his potential was higher somewhere else, anywhere else (just like the well-known cast of previous players and now coaches). If he does go through with this I fully expect to see him starting on an NCAA tournament team by the...

    Should GMac be retained

    Re: Give me one reason... Because he is in favor of the NCAA tournament expansion. I was told this has nothing to do with his self interests. Anybody who is down for more hoops in awesome in my book.

    When did you know......

    Cal for me. Against a depleted team on a losing streak we showed up and got dominated when we could have made a big statement. The effort vs. Cal was very reminiscent of a road effort from the previous two seasons which was a clear signal that it wasn't happening in year four either.

    Next year

    Team chemistry could maybe improve, who knows. That's the only area I could see possible improvement. Talent takes a significant hit and the success of this coaching philosophy isn't going to make a drastic change. Best case scenario we would model the Iowa team from this year aka having zero...

    How awesome would it be to win today?

    Exactly. Excuse me while I make a trip to the liquor store.

    Depressing Song about last nights game.

    Props to whoever created that sound byte. Heft's uncontrollable emotion is priceless.

    Props To The Die Hards That Have Stuck With This Team

    I made it to all but five games and feel like I deserve a medal. Those of you who batted 1.000 should be honored with a plaque the Jacobson Building.

    New Hilton Records in the Books

    Lowest single-season home conference winning percentage and most home conference losses in the history of Hilton Coliseum.

    Sadler 'Safe' at Nebraska

    Look at the entire body of work rather than head to head vs. ISU and there's no comparison. -Doc has about five wins against ranked teams (that I can remember) all without a home court advantage nearly as great as Hilton -Postseason appearances 50% of the time -Has greater control of the...

    Sadler 'Safe' at Nebraska

    Sadler doesn't have the "high character" image like GMac but I truly believe he is a more competent B12 head coach. Nebraska should absolutely keep him and that is not a slight to their program. Would I necessarily want Doc as our coach? No. Compared to what we have, though, I'd trade for him...

    ***Predictions: Iowa State @ Colorado***

    You could teach a class: "McD Defense 101" because you have it down to a science! Phenomenal post.

    Halftime Performance

    Best halftime performance in the last few years, IMO. For that matter, best performance by a men's team period in the last 4 years.

    ***** Official Post Game thread*****

    All of this is extremely possible. My guess is we win one more game, maybe two with some luck, lose in the first round of the B12 tourney (duh) and over/under three of the four players you listed are gone. Also leave room for some kind of wild-card surprise in the off-season that no one sees...

    Transfer Credits

    Untrue. I brought an AA to ISU with a 3.75 and started with a clean slate. ISU is the only public university in the state that won't transfer a GPA from a community college. UNI and Iowa will. Don't know why.
