A little Hawkeye history for you all: This is Murray Wier. Iowa's first consensus All-American. Went on to be a successful HS coach at Waterloo East. From Muscatine, predecessor to Joe Wieskamp.
 
*intents and purposes

Uh huh. Trying to be all smart when you’re clearly wrong.

Both for all intents and purposes and for all intensive purposes are widely used to mean “for all practical purposes” or “virtually.” But which one is correct? The standard idiom is for all intents and purposes, not for all intensive purposes, though if you were to say these two forms out loud it might be hard to tell the difference between the two.

I have never heard “intensive purposes” used. Always “intents and purposes”. The word intensive makes zero sense in this instance.
 
It’s essentially for all intensive purposes a tourney play in game.

Lose and you are forever in the history books for being the first Hawkeye team to miss the big ten tournament.

Let’s get hundreds of our fans to show up and out number their tens of fans. Should be a helluva an atmosphere in Evanston Friday.
You're being quite the pre-madonna.
 
I guess Fran is upset that not all 18 teams make the BTT
When the Big 10 expanded I actually expected a little smaller conference tournament. 15 seems like an awkward number. It seems equally awkward to have Fran talking about it with the team near the bottom of the conference. He becomes even more irrelevant to the future of the program making statements like that.
 
Never in my life have I wanted Iowa to lose a game, but if this is the game that will get rid of Fran I am all in on the Wildcats. Lifelong fan, Iowa grad. Bye bye Franny.
Never in my life have I wanted Iowa to lose a game, and I cannot foresee a time when I ever will.
 
Recruit better, Coach better and win more games, His participation trophy weak thinking is just another reason He is the highest paid shrinkage Coach in NCAA History . Guy has had a 40 Year career defined by failure.
I get everyone wanting Fran gone. but he's won over 500 games in his career. Yeah the tournament has been a dud, but he's won everywhere he's gone. But then again, you're a Raider fan & know all about failure. So there's that.

In 40 Years He has no sweet 16s and most of His wins are against garbage at Siena and directional Schools OOC , He is a .500 Coach in Conference . He is cerified Meh and never deserved a 15 Year run at a real School

Ok. If we are talking about the Ivy League bringing only four teams to their conference tournament when they have a perfect 8 team three day tournament set up, it’s one thing. Complaining about finishing 16th place and getting left out of a conference tourney is another.
Spot on 👍 Fran complaining about the possibility of not making the conference tournament comes across as mentally weak. That comes across in the way his teams play as well. Many people find realism hard to embrace but you have to see it to move forward and make positive changes.
 
The sooner Fran is gone the sooner I can start caring again about Iowa
Let's hope so. After NCAA tourney treats like losing to Oregon and Richmond he's managed to put together a roster that resembles LIckliiters last squad with the fast play button pushed. Seems a fitting end.

We can expect a lot of fireworks/transfers this spring. I'd rather have a young/hungry guy doing triage than a fat cat old man. Fran playing his two boys ahead of the Murray Brothers was dishonest.

Lickliter had more talented squads than this. The teams with Justin Johnson, Jeff Peterson, Cyrus Tate, Tony Freeman, etc…would run these guys off the floor

He is going to whine and bitch all the way out the door, because that is the type of person that he is.

Wow…learn something new everyday. I’ve always thought it was for all “intensive purposes”, so I’ll just continue using that. 😉
 
Why? He hasn’t done any better than Fran.
He's recently had a couple tournament teams and was smart enough to hire a defensive asst. coach that improved their team. His feet were put to the fire by his AD and he made positive changes at probably the worst coaching position in the league. Not saying he is the best candidate but would probably do a good job at Iowa.
