The Fran fade

Still wondering what this means? @iahawks can you explain since he didn't?
I believe they're referring to when there was not a Big 12 championship game in football, which was only a 6 year window between when we had the North and South, and what we have right now. Had there not been a conference title game, we would've been crowned the champion.

What makes zero sense is him saying we "missed out" lol. I mean we didn't miss out, we just sucked back then and have a completely different coach than we do right now..

Well its a basketball thread too, so a weird post.
 
There was at one point. 3 years ago, Iowa State would have been outright conference champions. I do think the format w/the championship game is better though.
It was a response to this message, which immediately preceded mine. I should have used the quote feature.
 
Yeah I'm kinda over not making it into a BCS Bowl game a decade and a half ago. On to talking about the Hawks big game tonight against Fred. I've got Nebby +17.5. Am I fool?

I sold points to get Nebby at +20.5. Did the same with ISU and got em at +20.5. Put em in a parlay and hope neither team gets blown out.

Hard to say. Hoiberg really wants to beat Fran and they just waxed Rutgers without their best player this year. Maybe addition by subtraction.

Hard to believe that Iowa is favored by 17 on a night where ISU is laying 17.
He is not obsessed with Iowa.
 
Fran is 61 years old, has been coaching since 1985, and never been to a Sweet 16. Lol. Can't wait for their defense to get them knocked out early this year, followed by back to the bottom half of the conference next year, and the fire Fran talk to ensue.

Iowa has actually played solid defense the last month.

Most efficient in the big ten for past month i heard. That's a bit of a mirage but certainly improved. Not relying on the zone was biggest thing. I can't stand the zone defense we play. We constantly over rotate and bohannon is asked to cover too much space relative to his speed/quickness
 
Yeah I was joking. Look at Nebraska's AdjO and AdjD. Talk about a wild year

Weird for sure.

I didn't expect Iowa to be in the 50's for defense this season. Especially when they were in the 120's or 130's just a few weeks ago.
