AP tabs Iowa #24, but look at the blurb:

[anon_i8nzeu2gbf0ba]

24. Iowa.

This could be Fran McCaffrey's best team in Ames.
=======================================
Yah, the Buckeyes, or Cyclones, or whatever should be great next year. I guess the AP's not so great at geography. Anyway, here's the link: https://www.chicagotribune.com/spor...-ranking-poll-next-season-20190409-story.html

Unbelievable. Do the people who write these poorly researched articles actually get paid?

 

[ROCKY MOUNTAIN HAWK]

Finished rated in both sports.

That’s pretty impressive!

Does anybody know the list of schools that accomplished that?

HA!

 

[Ronman]

I hope we are the best team in Ames this season when we play the Clones.

 

[sober_teacher]

It's really impressive how often that someone makes this mistake.

 

[TheTruthTheWholeTruth]

Finished rated in both sports.

That’s pretty impressive!

Does anybody know the list of schools that accomplished that?

We finished rated in basketball?

 

[ChisHawk81]

We finished rated in basketball?

That was my thought, AP final ranking isn't out and Coaches we are just receiving votes. This was another preseason pick by some idiot.

 

[ROCKY MOUNTAIN HAWK]

We finished rated in basketball?

Oh, is the thread topic Iowa’s ranking for next year?

I didn’t read the link.

No worries. It looks like this year these teams accomplished that feat:

Kentucky
Michigan
LSU
Cincinnati
Utah St

At one time years ago, maybe the Hayden Fry days we were the team from Idaho City, Iowa. At least this writer has us from a city in Iowa. Ah the fly over states.

Usually as kids you're taught the 50 states and their capitals.

Iowa may not be THE best state in education, but they at least got that part right while I was in school..........

Even Ames > Iowa City.

Spelled out it is Ames is grater than Iowa City

Edited due to grammar check

 

[HerkysDad]

Bleed black and gold, but I don’t think they will be as good as Tom Izzo’s team in Ann Arbor! ☝☝☝

Well I've been to both and you can't fool me.

But since you've decided to chime in, you've left me with no choice.....

Iowa City > Madison

Few people know about Fran's rock and roll cousin... John McCafferty and the Beaver Brown Band.

Iowa City > Madison

I wouldn't know.
Iowa City and Lincoln are the two West Div. campuses that I haven't been to.
Meant to go to a football game at IC while I was still in college, but just couldn't make it.

 

[Iowa210]

Iowa City West? But yeah, thats bad.

 

[Hawk_4shur]

Well, give the guy a break. He's probably trying just trying to crank out articles that get published so he can make a living.
