Yo 78-84, basketball thread bruh.13-3
1st time Iowa fan?
I lived around the definition of Hokdom in college. Lose to Iowa State? 'Gave the game away'.
Bad bowl season? 'Beat each other up during the regular season'.
Few NCAA tourney teams? Same thing.
Iowa winning 4 or 5 games to start the year? 'Lock for the Final Four'**.
Hate ISU for their transfers and hate Tinsely because he wasn't a 4 year guy? LOVE Woolridge and Recker/Evans.
It's relentless.
**Who in their right mind thinks the Final Four is a lock for anyone in something as fickle and unforgiving as the NCAA tourney?
Lol, anyone can make up stuff like that but suuuure.
Today was okayThat was then...what have they done for you lately?
Iowa had a good showing. Beating Oregon and UConn are good early season wins.
That said I’ve never figured out what identity Fran is going for with his teams. They always have talent and bodies. It just never seems to come together.
This hawk team is no different. They have ball handlers, post players, a stud with Cook but the majority of the team is a bunch of 6th man candidates.
One thing you can bank on... hawk teams always take on Fran’s personality as the season progresses.
Given Fran's history, yes this team will have to prove it. Time will tell if this was a 2-game abberation or not. If the identity is to feed Cook and Garza and try to get to the line, and with it play competent (not good) defense, then this team could get in as a 7-9 seed. If it digresses into last year of a good offensive team that couldn't be bothered to defend, then the team won't do much.
If Frantastic gets the coveted 7 seed your Hawks will have done really well to get that high of a seed in the B10 conference tourney. That would really add to his body of work.Given Fran's history, yes this team will have to prove it. Time will tell if this was a 2-game abberation or not.

Serious? Your team has had two ok'ish wins and you are over here begging for validation. Two ok'ish wins. Two. P.s. It would be really good seed from Frantastic. I don't think he has it in him to get much more than that.Jealousy is a stinky cologne for you.

If Iowa State had dismantled Oregon and UConn in consecutive games, people on this forum would be predicting conference championships and Sweet Sixteen runs. You trying to diminish Iowa’s wins as somehow not impressive is laughable and quite pathetic.
Didn't Mizzou blow out Iowa in a scrimmage right before the season started?
A pre-season scrimmage? Lol. And what does this have to do with my post?
Haven't watched them. Just looked at the shot chart...really hard to tell if Iowa is really anything. Not impressed so far. 16.5 turnovers per game is awful. I thought I might see really good steal numbers from your team what is up with so many turnovers compared to steals. Weaselcamp is atrocious 10 to's compared to 2 steals. Is he ok? 14 to's from cook? The clone's have one full game less that the Fighting Frannies and more steals, more blocks, etc.If Iowa State had dismantled Oregon and UConn in consecutive games, people on this forum would be predicting conference championships and Sweet Sixteen runs.

Jeeeeebus, you're supposed to use Obsession is a stinky cologne, because its a cologne.Jealousy is a stinky cologne for you.
Desperately begging for our approval really is perfectly demonstrated here. ISU on the left, and Fighting Frannies on the right.If Iowa State had dismantled Oregon and UConn in consecutive games, people on this forum would be predicting conference championships and Sweet Sixteen runs.
