This is just garbage basketball

Dude they were garbage before he went down. But you know this....and just like to troll
But you're bad at it
I said this is garbage basketball. I didn’t say the team was.
Your shtick is stupid. Go back to posting Iowa’s record.
Saying a team missing its best player is playing "garbage basketball" is really weak
Lol.
Was Owen Freeman playing when Iowa gave up 115 points to Wisconsin the first time around?
You are really bad at this.
They were playing "garbage basketball" with their best player.
Yeah, the reason Iowa has been a little more competitive the last two is that Brock has finally been on the bench.
Unfortunately Fran can't bring himself to take away any of Paytons PT.
Questions for you:
1. Do you think Fran has done a good job and the program is heading in the right direction?
2. If yes, please explain?
3. Do you want Fran to return?
4. If yes, how many years do you think Fran should get to “elevate” Iowa basketball?
Pryce is already a much better all around offensive player. He can actually put the ball on the floor and doesn't take terrible shots.
Payton has a net negative impact on the game most nights and then once every 6 or 7 games he makes a bunch of shots.
It is indeed the fans fault that the product stinks. I for one love throwing money into the wind. If we bought NBA caliber players with NIL money think what Fran could do? Oh yeah, lose in the round of 32 in an embarrassing fashion. But let’s give him another year with this juggernaut recruiting class. He’s so close to putting it together, I think by year 20 he should get there. Needs more time!
Yes … he’s JUST about to turn the corner! His .510 B10 record is just a smoke screen …
It is sad and just pathetic how complacent our fan base is. I mean FFS, we don’t think we can do better than this? It’s just miserable to see. There is zero upside bringing this guy back, zero. Bulldoze it and start over.
He’ll be gone. His buyout is worth every penny so blow this shit up and start fresh…
Idk if he is trolling, just reallly really dumb.
I hope so. $4.2MM paid out over 3 years is nothing if we are serious about our program. Ticket sales alone will pay for it if we make the right hire. I’m still amazed we have fans who think we should run it back again with Fran, truly incredible.
Fortunately the Franatics are even running out of excuses to keep this very average coach….
Just read the craziest stupidest thing I have in a while.
One of the ESPN guys who keeps track of teams' chances to make the tournament said that with today's loss, it dropped Iowa's chances from 27 to 22%.
Talk about optimism. I wouldn't give the Hawks a TWO percent chance right now!

Behind the internet, are we sure the so called FANS that what Fran to return next year are really IOWA fans or are they fans of other BIG schools. Heck, remember how Tom Izzo was addiment that Todd Lickliter shouldn't be fired after only 3 years.
Fran has been taking money from the UOI for the last 15 years with hardly nothing to show for it...one disappointment after another.
Just an FYI, you are interacting with a troll
I’m sure a high % are trolls *cough* eyesofhawk, but there’s still believers out there. Maybe believers isn’t the right word, let’s go with people who’d rather invest in CD’s than the stock market. Just too much risk moving on from my 1.75 % APY CD that’s guaranteed to lose against inflation. It’s scary out there. With Fran we know we’ll never do anything, but we also know we won’t be lickliter, so it’s ok.
Has nothing to do with the fact that you chose to kick a dog when it's down

I have been harsh towards Pryce but he is a gutty bench player. Not very athletic but gets a lot out of what he has. Excellent shooter.
We just don’t have the horses.
We just don’t have the horses.
Then maybe that dog shouldn't lie down so much..........
Do you belong to SWARM or just a typical bitcher?
Both sides agreed to the contract, your comment about not honorable to call it quits is one of the most idiotic statements you have ever made. The University needs to pay him off if they want to change coaches.
People want to be an ass... whatever. Don't love it, but it happens these days.
People want to be an ass when the team's best player is out...then they're clearly just out to be an ass
Don’t be cute. In this case one side clearly already has shut it down. His inability to win or show respectability is hurting the university and the MBB program. If Beth can’t negotiate a reasonable severance with FM, she needs to find every little piece of dirt to cut ties with him
now. Hopefully she has done her due diligence and already has it.
Honest question: What color is the sky in your universe?
If you can't see this is heading in a bad direction you are delusional.
It's been crap basketball for awhile now with no real achievements that mean anything.
If you can't see it's time for a new start you're just plain dumb.
It has appeared to me all season long that Fran’s tenor and body language indicate he’s resigned to the fact he doesn’t have the horses to compete at a high level, even at full strength.
If I win a huge lottery, I will become Iowa's sugar daddy.. So the program has that going for it.
And worse, it's been a steady downward trend the past few years.
2021 - 2 seed and 2nd round loss
2022 - 5 seed and 1st round loss
2023 - 8 seed and 1st round loss
2024 - 2nd round NIT loss
2025 - Might not even make the conference tournament
No, I don't expect Iowa to be top 2-5 ncaa seed every year, but the trend is alarming. Even if you throw out 2021 and 2022 (those are obvious outliers for Fran) the trend is still downward.

Reading this meme, I felt like Bob Uecker reading the box score. I knew it was bad when I was watching it, but it was even worse than I thought.
