Fran losing multiple players!

Is there an NFT of this yet? That's one the I'd pay for just to say I own it.

Besides the dunks, it was the only other thing I remembered about that game.

Garza wasn't a black hole with the basketball. He took it to the basket or shot when he knew he had a high % opportunity. He passed before he forced things.

I think Fizer's junior year he was actually more dominant and unstoppable around the basket than Garza, Fizer just did not have the shooting range Garza has away from the rim. Yet Fizer would on occasion force things a little too much. ISU's elite 8 team made up for this by having 3 absolutely fantastic guards that could also create, shoot and move the basketball.

Horton, Nurse, and Tinsley were all so damn good. That was the most fun team to watch ever. As amazing as Fizer was that year, those three guards were something else.

Caltech once hacked the Rose Bowl scoreboard.

Surely someone bright ISU students can put F-Bomb Francis up on the Hilton big screen next time he is in town.

Looks like Mulvey will be getting some serious minutes as well.

I heard Oliver Martin is transferring again - his spring tradition, maybe he can switch sports to actually make a starting lineup?

Kenpom isn't useful until like 15+ games in either.

Also need to knock Wisconsin down 15-30 spots almost every single week it has ever existed. I think there may have been one season Wisconsin was actually as good as KenPom rated them.

Same could be said for the Tinsley teams at ISU. Amazing how we dropped off so far so fast.

No, Horton left with him, along with both bigs that were quality players and Powers transferred out leaving basically Sulivan.

Lockdown gets way overused but they were.

Fran's thought when Margaret tells him they may need to get busy to produce more progeny to keep his coaching job.

This probably hasn't been talked about enough. Weiskamp going pro doesn't seem like such a sure thing to me, although the team he would be coming back to looks abysmal even with him.

There is almost no chance Joe W comes back. His stock won't get any higher so unless he really wants another year of bonding with Fran and friends he will gain nothing from another year at Iowa. He graduates this spring too.

Fran an honorable guy? The same dude that called a Ref a cheating mother****** and charged another one on the court? That guy?

Graduate in 3 years? Smart kid

Found this interesting but not worthy of its own thread. Response to Iowa throwing shade at Kentucky.

He's also really old for his class. He'll be almost 23 by the time the 2022 Draft rolls around. That REALLY matters to the NBA in today's world.

The biggest weasel in Hawkeye history encompasses some territory , let me tell you.

I've never understood this type of destructive self-righteousness.

I can't imagine Coach Cal is calling up CJ January saying "hey, if you want to transfer you have a spot at Kentucky." But I do imagine most schools have ways of finding out about guys who may not be happy, and getting a message to someone around the kid saying they'd have a spot if he were to transfer. And with college sports, you either have to learn to adapt or take your self-righteous attitude to unemployment.
