We’ll see if he can keep his drinking under control this time.
When trying to tolerate Ames, isn't drinking required?
I think he will probably do well at ISU. I have no clue if he can coach a lick but he can recruit. And wanting to be someplace is huge. I always considered ISU football a “stepping stone” type job (MC may prove me wrong) but ISU basketball a more permanent type job. Where if you do well you aren’t looking to leave (unless for the NBA in Floyd and Fred’s cases).
It's pretty hard to get fired as ISU basketball coach. Orr only won about 40% of his Big 8 games there and they built a statue for him.
You think the sole reason Akrum was dismissed was because he spoke out against the football program and nothing else?
In the world of clown fans anything that doesn’t fit the delusions of their fan base are dismissed out of hand and ignored. I have yet to see a single clown fan with a response to the facts that Wadley defrauded Iowa fans in November/December 2019 or that Wadley was seeking and gained KF’s assistance in obtaining a tryout with a spring team in March/April of 2020.
Are we suppose to ignore all of this just so clown fans can keep their delusion alive that Wadley thinks KF is a “racist”? Stender will have an explanation for this I’m sure.
Hey Stender while you are explaining things for us maybe you can tell us why isu fans get so upset by being called a “clown” but are A OK with calling Iowa Coaches “racists”? Do as you say and not as you do?

Johnny played a run and gun style of ball people loved, won enough big games at home, and made it to the NCAAs more than all other coaches after the second trip. He was a larger than life character who made it fun, and isn’t that really what matters? His 218-200 record was tilted by the first three tough years.

218-200 and clown fans think it was the greatest thing since sliced bread.
Why would anyone laugh at that?
Nothing I said was wrong. He won 40% of his conference games and has a statue in his honor. 18 games over .500 in 14 seasons for a major conference coach isn't a point to brag about.
He finished under .500 in almost half of the season he coached at ISU.
I didn’t say you were wrong. No one brags about his record. It is surprising to most Cyclones how pedestrian it is despite knowing how bad his Big 8 road record was. Still, we love the guy.
and this is just one of many reasons the isu fan base is laughed at.
All because he hated Iowa and is credited with creating some make believe magic.
He loved to poke fun at Nebraska’s “dead dog” fans too. Every comedian needs a dupe. Iowa was an obvious choice, especially with his background at Michigan. And Hilton Magic’s not real?
Going winless in the Texas Ten at home is “magic”
No, I hate to break it to you but Hilton Magic is not real. Isn't it weird how the "magic" seems to come and go as the talent on ISU changes?
Good team, mOaR mAgIc!
Bad team, WhAr MaGiC?
Calling Iowa FB coaches racist is based upon the 50+ former FB players who shared their experiences at Iowa. It was very clear Iowa FB coaches treated African-American players differently (if not worse) than their teammates.
If you were not bothered by what you heard, you a part of the problem.
Calling ISU alumni + fans "clowns" is simply juvenile.

Thin skin clown fan is back.
None of the 50+’players clown fans talk about actually said KF or other coaches were “racists”. Link that says otherwise?
Or is this yet another example where we must interpret things only the way clown fans insist?
It really didn't matter what I wrote there - HerkyFan (aka CyTwins) would've responded the same way. I guess if I had said, "Yes, HerkyFan you are right about this (and everything else)" he may not have said anything.
Now there is an idea!
Now there is an idea!
Stander - Herky is not Twins cause while Herky knows a lot about Iowa he can’t spit out in 24 seconds a third string player’s FT percentage or a back-up punter’s high school stats. That is Twins. I guarantee if you went to CF at any time of the day or night and posted something Hawk related Twins would have an anti-Hawk stat posted within 3 minutes. Hell he posts at midnight, 3 am, and then really gets started at 6 am for the day. The guy is a machine. Herky is good not that good.

AMES, Iowa - The now-famous Johnny Orr statue, located on the east side of Hilton Coliseum has drawn a lot of attention in the last 24 hours. Last week, the cyclones.com

A wise newspaper columnist once said that trying to explain Johnny Orr to a non-Cyclone fan was like trying to explain sex to a virgin.
Johnny Orr is my favorite non Iowa coach. He wasn’t the winningest coach but for me most respected & funniest, which was always the best part.
I need to qualify that; Johnny was outspoken but often able to channel his angst through his sense of humor.

Johnny didn't hate Iowa at all. Heck he was in ads with Iowa coaches. Johnny was somebody who loved having a good time and did his best to make everything fun. The record isn't great but at this point who cares. This stuff is why ISU fans loved Johnny.
On the Johnny Orr Show one week, Pete Taylor asked about the way a close loss was called. Johnny said, “I’m not allowed to comment on the refs, but my wife thought it was the worst job of officiating she’d ever seen!“
Holy crap spit my coffee out again. Reminds me of an ex-GF oh never mind. Orr was a great character. I will say when it came to language he made Booby Knight sound like a nun.
Basketball? I don’t think any of us were hyped. Just glad the last year is over.
You may want to check with the poster that said ISU had a better roster 2-12 than Iowa. They were conspicuous by there absence as the season moved on.
Another offseason, same shit from ISU basketball fans.
They think Otz has built a much better roster than what they had last season.
After losing to Florida A&M with Haliburton injured in Dec 2019, most Cyclones have been pretty humble. There are always exceptions and this is a message board.
Two conference seasons over .500 in 14 years. 3 NCAA tournament wins in 14 years. I admit I did like the guy.
How many people here remember the night Orr brought in his Michigan team to the Fieldhouse and set up a mock picnic setting in front of their bench symbolizing how easy it was for Michigan to come to Iowa City and win? Even I got a chuckle out of that one. Not sure Lute did, however.
Teams that are as bad as ISU always have fans that feel they are only a player or two from being competitive.
It's hard for that program to be worse than they were last season. In that respect, Oodleberger is in a good spot. 6-8 wins next year will be considered an improvement.
