How many actual "big"donors are there? Are there so many that they couldn't fit into the lower section on one side and students on the other?
Oct 31, 2022: Fran brings up putting Students behind the Benches (Beth wants students around the court). Future Renovation of Carver-Hawkeye Arena?
- Thread starter Franisdaman
- Start date
@Ladell-hawk , I see that you unfortunately fell for Tyerl_28's lies in the duplicate thread, where he falsely claimed that he recently attended a meeting headed by Beth on this issue. He typed that nonsense up just to bump that thread and in hopes that people like you would believe him & respond.
If this meeting actually happened, the meeting and what was discussed would have been covered by the Cedar Rapids Gazette, at minimum. Instead, not a word was reported by any media outlet. Tyler is a troll and a liar; simple as that.

How aggressive will Beth be in getting the students to go to the games?
Free tickets?
Free food?
Seated all around the court?
How far does she go?

I say it will be next year at the earliest, in the mean time, the students that don't show up, are going to miss an exciting team, shame of them!
It depends on Fran, you know as well as I do that the coach Fran, doesn't always coach with the best of them, but the roster is full of players that could change the negative narrative of Iowa basketball.
You are right in that aspect. The Iowa women don't need a Carver renovation in order to sell out the entire season well before their first game (for the 2nd consecutive year, too).
don't expect this team to rebound better or to play good defense. it will save you a lot of grief. similar to expecting Iowa football to air it out.
stop your own madness.

No way this team is a worse rebounding team than last season. They will be much better on the glass.
Nice first go imo. Personally I’d like to see that at both ends.
Tyler,

Iowa moving students closer to the floor at Carver
This was a no brainer and long overdue. As long as the ice cream machine still works the gray hairs will be happy.

Going to require two things imo. - a good team, and improved marketing towards the students.
There were times under Barta where they seemingly either didn’t care, and figured they’d just show up; or did marketing ideas at the last minute, causing minimal impact.
I’d also argue it would be a good idea to bring back the “midnight madness” they used to do when Alford was here. I was a student back then…GREAT turnout for those prior to the Pierce crap.
Your crybaby posts give us plenty of laughs. Thank you for the comedy you provide.Tyler,

You tagged a mod in your crying post??? What a complete pussy.
I take it all back, the two things Iowa was supposed to work on and improve over the summer, rebounding and defense. was evidently not addressed. With only one player at 6-10 and that be Owen Freeman, Iowa is really going to struggle when Owen is not in the game. There's no reasonable backup to replace Freeman and using Dembele or Traore, or worse yet, Even Brauns at the 5, well, it's going to be fun watching how Iowa will go against teams that have multiply 7 footers in their lineups.
Cooper Koch, Seyduou, Dembele, and Pryce Sandford all play mostly on the perimeter and it will be interesting if any one of these players comes forth and actually becomes a reliable rebounder when Freeman is not in the game. It could be a very long year. We'll see.
Dodger, not the worst in 60 years, the worst ever. Lick was the NCoY when hired. The Hair was the hottest coaching hire when Iowa ran of its career winningest coach. Twenty six years later we have not fully recovered. Remember this whenever one thinks firing KF or FMcC-it probably will fail and disastrous seasons will follow.
I am afraid you are right.
Can Beth really fix this or is it just a lost cause when it comes to the students?
i do think that this team will eventually get things figured out, especially when Traore is back

Hard to believe there was 8,015 fans in attendance based on that photo. Unless they are using Nebraska math.Thursday, Nov 7, 2024 vs Southern with a 7:00 pm CT tip.

that number is total tickets distributed; looks like maybe half actually used them
Doubt students will be there tonight, either.
When will be the first game with 10,000 actual attendance?
