You have over 6400 posts and less than 600 likes. I think that gives everyone an idea of the wisdom you bring to this board.
I swear I've read all your posts multiple times and I still can't figure out the point you're trying to make. It sounds like you're a Fran supporter and Tom Davis hater, which might make you the only one on earth. I think you're making a feeble attempt to show that giving up 100 points is not a good measure of a coach, but then you use it as arsenal against Davis. I think you also suggested somewhere in there that making the Sweet 16 is not that hard and not a very big deal, which is odd considering Iowa has been there only once the past 30 years (under Davis). I presented facts, just like you, but for some reason mine are misleading but yours tell the whole story.
I think you need a break from this board. I know everyone here would appreciate it.
Wow, who the f' made you GOD of this board? Your post just might be the most arrogant post that I have ever read on this board.
First, let me address your statement about likes received. My number of messages was close to 4000 before you could even designate that you liked a post on this board. I had even once dropped off this board for several years and then started over in 2006 and then I stopped posting again for several years. I was disgusted at the behavior of many on this board who went to the New Mexico board to trash Alford. Who does that? No one with any decency, civility or maturity would do that.
And, I don't post to get likes. I don't jump on someone and trash them so all the other haters can pile on and like me like you and Hawkrugged17 have done here. I often take a contrary position to the idiots that frequent this board and make it almost unreadable. Actually, I was educated BEFORE the commies took control of the educational system in America and much of the attitudes and opinions by the young commies here tends to piss me off.
The fact that you can not understand the point that I made just might be a reflection on you. We had just given up 89 points to Indiana and a week prior we had given up 104 points to Purdue. Earlier we had given up 103 to Michigan. Despite the fact that Iowa is enjoying a season beyond expectations based on such a depleted roster there are some who continue to harp about a lack of defense and put that blame on Fran. I merely pointed out that some of our most loved coaches allowed more 100 point games than Fran has while some of our less loved, to the point of hated coaches gave up less 100 point games than those coaches that are held in high esteem here. The sky doesn't fall just because the other team gets really hot shooting at the wrong time for Iowa. Ragging on Iowa's defense is just the entitled people trying to find another reason to trash Fran.
The reason that your facts are different then mine is that you, as I demonstrated, cherry picked your facts to fit your opinion. Yes you did. You cherry picked the criteria to be able to show that Fran and only one other coach had failed to achieve the criteria that you set. I just used one criteria for everyone. Who gave up , and how many times did they give up, 100 point games during their careers. That is a simple criteria. No cherry picking. It was at the heart of the subject regarding our defense. However, I was easily able to manipulate your guidelines to show that Dr. Tom and Rollie Williams just might have been the 2 most unsuccessful coaches at Iowa by using your formula which you used to show that Fran was one of the least successful coaches at Iowa. If you can not understand why your comparisons are misleading, you might want to check your gene pool.
Last, I have a solution for you regarding my posting here. It, like you, is simple. It is easier than not reading my messages. All you have to do is block me and, Voila, it is like I don't exist.
And, hey, you have no idea what everyone here thinks and only a f'ing idiot would think that they do.
