You’re underplaying how bad it looked last night. We love to make fun of Fran, and rightfully so, but he’s owned Prohm in the series.
This is why Prohm must go........
- Thread starter ohly2311
- Start date
I'm not trying to spin it either. I wouldn't have taken a split either FWIW but I know there were some real negative people going into Sunday's game
Reminds me of how Mac owned Ferentz honestly
That’s not exactly an endorsement of Prohm. Mac owned Ferentz simply due to timing... he was essentially gifted the first 4 wins.
Who by the time he retired had left a shell of a roster to Ferentz.
Essentially the opposite is happening now in basketball. Supposedly* ISU has superior talent. That wasn’t the case for Ferentz’ first seasons.
I guess I'll disagree that the first 4 wins were gifted to Mac
Prohm's got a lot of new pieces this year. I'm looking to see how the team improves.
You're both wrong. Fry was probably Iowa's greatest coach but that's a weak argument here given that his program had declined significantly by the time he retired.
That said, Ferentz had two bad years before they were back to being bowl-eligible in 2001. In 2002 ISU was his only loss. That's hardly "gifting" wins to ISU.
Apples and oranges to this situation.
Oh yes sorry, three wins were “gifted.” I mistakenly counted ‘98.
Point stands though that during those early Ferentz years ISU had a distinct talent advantage. I’d include 2001 in that advantage.
Lets consider ourselves lucky Seton Hall’s starting big man only played a total of about 2 minutes in that game.
We were the underdog in everyone of those first five wins the way I remember it.......
No. Not in Hilton. Especially with tournament aspirations.
And it wasn’t just a loss. It was an ass kicking.
We beat Seton Hall after they lost an 18 ppg player in the first 5 min of that game. That’s the kind of luck we will need to beat most teams this year.
Nope.....can't do that. Prohm must go now or what's the point?
Right, 1-1 at home with a blowout loss and a win against a weakened top-30 team isn’t unexpected.
This also exemplifies why some aren’t high on Prohm. They’re not surprised by this week, and that’s an issue in itself.
Expected or not, Hopefully this is an abbreviation in play. Missing the tournament would be a bad trend imo.
I think you've said this a couple times now. Where are you getting that he averaged 18 ppg?
