Paul Shirley Interview

[cycart]

• Pretty decent podcast. Not a whole lot of new information, but interesting to hear all the same.

What a bunch of whiny babies on this thread. Bunch of people whining about Paul whining. Then I whined about that.

Thanks for getting Paul on--loved him as a player and like his entertainment value, thanks! Just can't believe this is the same guy that sat through engineering classes without saying a thing.

How I envision all the Paul haters

 

[mywayorcyway]

"Your wife's name is Stacy Eustachy?"

That's funny.

 

[BillBrasky4Cy]

And no felony assault charges on your record after that? You're more patient than I am.

Haha. Most people were actually really cool about it but it got pretty old.

Chris and I just completed an hour long interview with Paul Shirley. If you are an Iowa State fan, this is a must-listen to podcast. Paul is extremely honest and will shed some light on things you might have never heard about.

For those out there that are NOT fans of the Fawcast, this will be the week to make an exception and give it a listen!

It will be posted shortly.

I thought it was one of the better podcasts that you guys have done. Shirley just happens to be more honest than most when you put a mic or pen in front of him. His discussions on the team chemistry and Coach E def shed some light on what was going on. I def don't agree with some things Paul has said in the past but respect his opinions. I doubt we would all agree with a ton of former Cyclones players on their opinions on world events or even ISU subjects. Good interview!

Kinda sick of hearing from the guy. Love everything he did as a player but my word has he been annoying the last few years.

What did he really do as a player besides ride on Fizer/Tinsley/Horton's coat tails?

We will give you a money back guarantee this is the best Shirley Pod you have heard!

Get a job....

I don't remember Fizer/Tinsley/Horton playing 3 on 5?

What did he really do as a player besides ride on Fizer/Tinsley/Horton's coat tails?

Averaged ~15.8 Pts and 10 Rebounds per 40 minutes over his Junior and Senior years and helped win back to back B12 titles.

He played pro ball so he must've done something

Too bad he couldn't just let his play do his talking then. I only remember him as a whiny douchebag.

Hey a lot of people talk about sports and have never played even anywhere near the professional level....ohh yeah like most of us this forum.

Don’t know if you argument even makes much sense. He has unique perspective and is one of the few that is as candid.

Jesus. Let it go, Paul.

 

[Yellow Snow]

It was a very good interview. I like hearing what former players think about their time here good or bad. It's a perspective that I find very interesting.

 

[madguy30]

Interesting about the team bickering at each other, etc. on approach of the NCAA tourney.

Not surprising.

I'd like to be a fly on the wall if/when Paul and Jamal meet some time.

 

[vmbplayer]

Never realized it until this podcast, but charter and paul have very similar mannerisms. Was thinking that and CW made a similar observation toward the end.

Apparently Charter's wife has a type.

 

[CloneGuy8]

So Shirley basically confirmed that HInrich and Collison were ISU bound, then Floyd left. Interesting ripple effect Phil Jackson retiring had on ISU basketball.

 

[Dr.bannedman]

what a bunch of snowflakes on here.

i very much enjoyed the pod. 13/10
