Meh, figure out a way to at least compete with us in something, then Maverick will re-engage. It's just not as much fun when we destroy you in everything.
Jeremy is just crazy, he's not a typical Cyclone fan so don't use him to sum up our fan base. We're all good people here
Don't be sad because it ended. Be happy because it happened.
True, we know that Fran has a track record of rebuilding programs, this minor rebuild should be fast and painless really. ISU fan can't be sure if Campbell can rebuild as he didn't have to rebuild at Toledo, he inherited a good team.
If you look at recruiting and player development, it's obvious CMC will build a solid program. Fran has been there 7 years. He rebuilt with lifelong hok fans. He doesn't have that luxury now and he is getting exposed. The program is going down the toilet.
Is he going to a different school or what are you talking about? I thought he already rebuilt Iowa
Yeah, I was going to say, if you are good at rebuilding you shouldn't have to be rebuilding from scratch this year...
You think teams don't miss the NCAA ever and teams never have to be rebuilt? Iowa had a lot of Sr last year and are retooling. Now if they miss again next year That is a different story.
Just curious, do you think ISU is a LOCK for the NCAA next year losing as much as they do? If they did miss a year would you think Prohm is some failure?
Probably should have recruited kids in 2014 and 2015 so you didn't have to play so many bad freshman. I don't think Iowa makes it next year either, your guards will be bad
No I don't think ISU will have to rebuild next year because they will be talented. I don't think they make the NCAA though, NIT team probably. 7 straight is incredibly challenging.
So you are trying to compare a coach hitting the reset button in year 7 to a second year coach that inherited a bunch of upperclassmen from the previous coach who basically didn't recruit for his last 2 years? Seems like a solid analysis.
I find it comical how you guys are sitting in year 7 under Fran and the main excuse is "welp, at least we aren't still in the Lickliter era."
No situations are ever identical. Keeping a consistent winner in any sport is tough, and doubly tough in Iowa. Dan Mac couldn't do it, Rhoads couldn't do it, Fran couldn't do it and Ferentz doesn't do it. The current ISU basketball run is very impressive. You are in the midst of the longest consecutive NCAA appearance in a row in your entire history. Before this run 3 in a row was the most ever for you guys. That just show how hard it is to accomplish that kind of consistency without a down year or two.
We are in the midst of a longer consecutive NCAA appearance than you've ever had too
This is probably the right mindset going into next year considering who is graduating. I'll be honest I will be disappointed if ISU isn't dancing next year. That is the difference in expectations from ISU to Iowa.
Now on to looking how ISU fills the next 3 scholarships and see how that changes the potential of ISU 17-18 team. Another expectation ISU fans have, improving the team for the next year, that Fran denies his fan base.
