I’m hard pressed to think of a more embarrassing performance. We look like the Washington Generals. Whoa... I wasn’t expecting us to be this bad. Long season ahead.
In 40 years of cheering for the Hawks...
- Thread starter Rustys Dad
- Start date
You must have blacked out through the Lickliter years
No... I definitely did not.
The roster outside of Joe W, PMac, CMac, and Garza is the result of putting all of your eggs in one basket and always coming up short. Look at the 247 recruiting. Every year we're getting the lowest rated prospect on our offer list
Is there anything in the fine print of Frans contract that says if we lose by 100 we can fire him on the spot?
I don't care what cmac was rated, he's terrible
I remember I got banned during the lickliter years sure. But this could be getting close
We're slow, short, white and unathletic.....but at least we can't shoot.
I honestly am struggling to think of a more listless first half performance by any home team in years of watching college basketball. I really have nothing that comes to mind.
Pmac doesn’t look much better. Needs about 350 Big Macs.
We are sooo white like me and the fellas at open gym.
January 20, 2018, when Iowa was honoring Chris Street, 25 years after his death. Iowa got drubbed by Purdue at Carver. Even the neutral announcers were embarrassed at Iowa’s performance.
I have been off the Fran train for some time. Congrats, I guess, for putting together the most ground bound, slowest, slow twitch muscle lineup in the P5. MOAR nepotism please!
Wow, this might be the team that gets Fran fired.
You would hope.
It should have happened after 2017-18.
With all the Xavier Foster hubbub, I completely forgot there was a game tonight. It's going to be a long, embarrassing season. Every team Iowa faces is going to look at our all-white lineup and LOL.
I bet Foster is at home right now grateful he didn't verbal to this shit show inside a dumpster fire program.
But wait a minute, I thought CJ Frederick and the beefed up Jack Nunge were going to be great players this year?
No, please go on...
Unless depaul does a complete 180 from last year, blasts from worst to first in the big east and makes the final four I think this might be a somewhat negative sign when it comes to Iowa's chances this season.
Nah, can't be.
There's been all this chatter on the board about how great the guys were that we hadn't seen yet and how much the rest would improve from last year. All of that unfounded speculation couldn't have been wrong?

We weren’t competitive in about 2/3 of the games in the Lickliter era. This has a similar feel.
Heard that Fran’s wife was kicked out of a youth tournament last weekend and that Fran was being a total spaz. I wasn’t there so I didn’t see it with my own eyes, but this comes from a pretty good source. I will always support any kid that wears the black and gold, but Fran lost my support some time ago.
Sure you did.
I could've hung with several of Iowa's players, including starters, during that Lickliter era..........that's not good. And I would know because I was at Iowa back then, and played against them in pick up games........
I would be embarrassed by anyone on the floor tonight, had they been at Iowa back then.
Deal with it. We're not that f***ing bad.
Please, please, please let this happen. I would be so happy.
If this is true then it just confirms that he is the trash person I think he is.
Just started watching at half time. Didn’t take long to see it’s going to be a long season. The lack of talent is a disgrace. Doesn’t surprise me, dysfunctional program.
I was told this by someone I have known for a long time. I’m not saying it’a gospel, but idk why someone would make that up.
Who knows, maybe this season will be a blessing in disguise.
I've wanted Fran gone for a few years now. So many cried, "Yeah, but we'd lose P-Mac!"
LOL.
23-23 in the 2nd have.
On Pace to lose the 2nd too.
Anyone have the FIRE FRAN website up and running? He didn't even make it through the 2nd game this year

What's the contract situation look like? Can Barta not be involved with the hire?
It’s going to be a long year for Hickory.
If it happens, a new coach would have to clean house on the roster. Only a few worth keeping. It’s not their fault they’re not Big Ten talent and got offered a scholly.
I think that PU team will turn out to be better than this DePaul team
Iowa has had quite a few embarrassing performances under Fran.
