*****Official Iowa at Iowa State game thread*****

Does anyone in coaching circles rave about Fran McCaffrey?

Virginia just lost to JMU and Purdue to Rutgers.

Soooo Purdue is bad now? I'm saying they gave fans hope.... Seems they may have read some press clippings after those games. Or it was all smoke and Frans teams tendency to not rebound or play D bites us again and again
 
The thing about this game that’s weird to me is that they are playing like this rivalry game means everything to them and we don’t seem to care. The interesting part is their whole team got to Ames like a week ago so why would they care? And why do we not?

End of the day they just seem to be a tough team that plays HARD. We should have more to play for in this game and we couldn’t be more flat.

What's the record for the worst point margin ever in Iowa history? Whatever it is it might be in trouble tonight.
 
As much as I despise ISU, I would rather have their team and coach. ISU has 3 better guards than Iowa has had in Fran's tenure. It's a good thing Fran didn't go after Brockington because we couldn't use a dynamic slashing / scoring guard. Joe T. and Ulis should be at mid-major programs. It looks like ISU has 8 guys on defense and Iowa has 3.

Ulis and joeT are good solid guards, I'll take them over Ellingsen and CMAC at PG.

Clearly Fran botched it not being able to pull in a Brockington or the guy that Illinois brought in
that just torched us. Going with JBO as a starter and CMAC at the 6th or 7th guy on roster
is completely nuts.

JBO is not the shooting guard a lot of people were claiming was his true position. He has always shot best
off the dribble and now that he's no longer PG, he no longer has the ball in his hands.
 
The people on this board and the so-called Iowa media are hilarious. Iowa sits at 0-2 in the Big 10 and have beaten teams at home that are an absolute joke for a non-conference schedule. Virginia isn't any good after losing to Navy and James Madison. And yet they think this team can make some noise. FYI, this team can't shoot, can't rebound and can't defend so prepare for a long season.
