I have very specific knowledge of that decision making process. Cannot share most of it. You are correct I was citing the fake public cover story. Think of how appalling the real reasons when the flacks had to float that bullshit cover story. The real behind the scenes story is much much less flattering to Iowa.
True. I would like to see some of these anonymous internet warriors be given the opportunity to present their grievances in person to Fran and BF. I'll bet they would be as gentle as heel hounds. More likely would turn and run.
Haven't we just ascended to middle of the pack at this point? Is there any hope to reach the next level?
Why can't you share it? Did you sign a confidentiality form?
Then why bring it up if you can't reveal it?
A. what is sometimes overlooked is that Fran took over a program that was a doormat, worst in the conference, and returned it too relevance, and did so with an exciting flair, who doesn’t like IOWA being associated with a high octane offense.
Lol. My goodness what a fail.
Haha, shit when we are down 10 in the 1st half they come calling.
And yet, some other B1G conference coaches are talking about Fran as Coach of the year. Who knows more? I know what I think.
Are Keegan, Luka, Cook, White, Bohannon, Uthoff and Gesell diamonds? I would really like to know, Mr. Expert.
That's why I don't participate in football or basketball game threads anymore. They throw in the towel and start asking for everyone to be fired at the first sign of adversity. It takes the fun out of every game.
Yeah. I occasionally will go back and read a game thread just to remind myself of who NOT to take seriously in the future.
Some of these guys don’t understand basketball at all. Some of their comments during the games are laughable. Jbo’s case is especially curious. He will most likely be the third player ever to score 2,000 points at Iowa, and he’s a statistics leader in so many categories, and these guys rip into him at every game. It’s insane. I sometimes wonder if these guys are morons or IA St fans … they’re hard to tell apart as we all know
And where did they end up in their conference standings?
Are any of them good NBA players? Keegan is the best of the bunch, obviously, with his future still to be determined. He was pretty much an Iowa lock due to Kenyon.
C'mon man, the other teams have players too. Iowa is playing better for sure, but sometimes it takes a while to integrate the new pieces and for them to learn to play in a starters role. It's amazing how good a player like Bohannon is when other people are doing their job too. Oh and did I mention that health was definitely a factor this year. As a fan, sometimes you should just be thankful for the opportunity that is being earned by these players. It is more fun that way, I promise.
I'm just glad they're finally giving more effort.
Maybe it was wake up call...... i think that is when Fran switched the lineup. As irritating as it is sometimes, having jbo at the point makes him much more effective as well as the rest of the team. Not to mention Perkins coming out party as a starter. I think this is the reason for the uptick in play more so than a wake up call. Oh, and Keegan is literally playing like the NPOY right now.......that helps JMHO
They are all over at the fb boards now splitting atoms over BF. Rinse and repeat.
