Tell ya what........if he can make even half as many 3s against Michigan, then the next time we run a fast break and they outlet it back to Bohannon and he immediately, without really setting himself, decides to just chuck it up towards the hoop from wherever he's at, make or miss, I will proclaim that THAT is without a doubt THE BEST possible shot we could've taken period in that situation and leave it at that.
If you don't think interacting with comments on Twitter is dumb as hell, well thats all I need to know about you lol
How would you feel and what would you do if YOU were Connor?
I don't think even a fan favorite at this point. Lets face it, as a walk on who come in firing in games we were way ahead in, he was kind of a fun novelty. Now on scholly, that schtick has worn thin. Thankfully we aren't short on players like we were when Fran in previous years would put him in with the game still in the balance. Absolutely nothing against the kid, but he's not a D1 player at should not be on scholarship. There's a big difference with KF rewarding a kid who's been on the team for several years and earned his stripes on special teams, because that one ride amongst the 85 is easier to swallow. When you only have 13 rides, and with injuries and covid, every one of those rides has value.
here are the rest of the facts for you to consider when you don’t cherry pick.
Especially if Michigan is starting to round back into form as we saw against Purdue.......
Vince scored 22 (10-17) 2-2 FT 4 reb / 1 asst
What I would DO has nothing to do with it. Cmac is a member of the team. Do you not remember the blowback from the Zach McCabe mess? Please instruct us what possible good will come from Cmac poking shit at the fans who purchase tickets, buy gear and support the team. This is an absolute NO win for him and his Dad, and you'd think Fran would be smart enough to get a handle on this, but evidently not, and I'm not an anti Fran guy. I have no idea why you'd try to correlate posters on here poking at each other as anything at all similar to a current player getting into it with fans on social media. Frankly thats just stupid, and not well thought out, because players can't win picking fights with fans. What can he possibly accomplish?
You probably don't like Caitlin Clark much then either.
Fran tried to fill the scholly with player who would play meaningful minutes. He wasn't able to. After that, he gave the scholarship as a reward to a player who has been a good teammate and scout team player for several years. It's a one year thing. Anyone who thinks Fran gave Ash the scholarship over another player in the portal is just not wanting to hear the facts. It's hardly a big deal. Pretty sure the team is OK with giving him the ride over someone else who would have just been a bench player.
Hey look. For once we agree on something. Even a blind squirrel....
Great stat line but you cannot argue it was better than JBO's last night. Not even close, eh?
It’s because Joe T actually plays defense and is a good, humble person.
First of all, firing back to anyone on twitter when you are a public figure is a no win situation. That being said, he is not poking at "the fans who purchase tickets." He is poking at a group that has made it a mission to attack the coach and certain players. Quite frankly, there is probably a large segment of the fan base that agrees with him. But in the end, I think it would have been best just to stay above the fray.
Yeah, its not a healthy situation when the son of the coach is openly feuding with fans.
Totally fair and statistically logical comparison................................................................................................................................................................................not being sarcastic about that in any way at all, either............................................................................................................nope........................................definitely am not being sarcastic............................................................................................................................................................................or maybe I am.
So your saying that none of the people here or others who have been ragging on Jbo are "buying tickets or gear"? Really? Factually I never even said that I even disagree with what he said, (to a point), my comment was, and still is that it was a stupid thing to do, and won't bring about a positive outcome for him or Fran. My biggest issue is this is not the first time either Cmac or Pat have done this, and the fact that Fran has done nothing to put a stop to it, would lead me to believe that he's totally fine with it. THAT I have a real problem with. He's not a 20 something young person, and he should know that this creates poor optics for him and his program. The coach CANNOT go to war with the fans, (even the vocal minority) and come out on top. Overall I like the job that Fran has done, with some exceptions, BUT this is not a good look. Frankly this probably comes across as no big deal at all, if say he could ever get the Hawks to a BIG title or a sweet sixteen. Without some REAL meaningful gains, some banners to hang, Fran is just giving more ammunition to those who would like to see him shone the door, and frankly its silly. All he needs to do is get some control here. As I said my concern is that he likes these comments, (this crap, and Cmac berating officials publicily), without having to do the dirty work.
No what I'm saying and I thought pretty clearly is there is a pretty good segment of the fan population that thinks the people constantly riding the coach and players for some absurd reason or another are ass hats.
Agree 1000%. The social media feud is beyond silly. And it's a pretty small minority of fans. Bohannon has been around 6 years, he's kind of the face of the Hawks because he's been around so long. He's done some funny things if you're an Iowa fan, like leaving his shoes in Ames, but he's also opened his mouth a lot and I'm sure opposing fans can't stand him. I don't care about any of that. If you're going to do that however, and talk shit on social media, then of course the trolls are going to be out there. It's a muddy game. You can't pick and choose on that. Fran and the entire family come across as very thin skinned. Is what it is. But they're just adding fuel to the fire. It's childish.
Personally I don't feel I'm riding the coach or his son at all. I'm simply pointing out some "actions" that I think are not in the best interest of the player in question, the coach or the Universities basketball program......
Conor is an adult and what he says on twitter will not hurt ticket sales at all. Will you stop supporting the team if he keeps on defending the team members?. There will come a time where Catlin may regret it.
You keep bringing up Caitlin. Not sure why. She’s the best player in the game today. Are you comparing her to Connor? She’s fiery on the court. But not sure I’ve ever seen her cross any line. Same with Luka. And honestly I’m fine with Connor on the court. Get fired up. Get your teammates pumped. What is Caitlin going to regret? Be the adult and don’t be thin skinned on social media. Not that hard.
I would think I am safe in saying that the negative crown on this and other sites are more than likely not buying tickets or going to games.
What is Clark going to regret? That she's kicking ASS and taking names? The only people who have anything bad to say about her are the players she's tearing up. She's a type AA personality with a ton of skills. She's a generational player. is she supposed to apologize for that. Have you watched "The BIG Story" special on the Brands brothers on the BTN they've run the last couple of weeks? I suggest you watch it. If they had "dialed it back" they would never have become national and world champions. People at that level have a different makeup then you and I do.
Not necessarily a poke at you but, since you mentioned her name and she's taken some heat from some posters this year, Kaitlyn is shooting 31% from the 3 this year. Should she stop shooting, too?Well maybe, or just watch Clark do her thing every night for the womens team! Just poking fun! Great game by Jbo, oh and that other guy, Murray was it?
I personally think Catlin is the best I have ever seen play. But her actions (cockiness) is a bit overboard for me.
Just saying that sometime in her life it could come back to being a regret for her.
All good brother. I love how the Murray brothers go about their business as well. Just no idea what you’re talking about with Caitlin. She’s a beast. And plays with a ton of swag. Love that as well. To each his own.
You think I am serious about telling either not to shoot?
Nah, there's certain situations where both (Jbo moreso) need yellow lights at the very least when it comes to shot selection................
Vince shot 6 for 6 in the second half. Iowa down
