Yup, just imagine if Fran would have won 2 conference titles (shared) and made a couple of elite eight runs and a couple more to the sweet 16.
Pretty much the equivalent of what KF did in the first half of his career at Iowa with 2 shared titles, 2 bcs games (1 win), and a handful of finishes in the Top 10.

Honestly, if he had done that, I'd give him more rope as well.
I don't honestly listen much as I'm out of the area now, but most Des Moines radio is garbage, outside of Condon who actually knows his stuff and doesn't come across as a homer. I think his time slot got moved. Ross just kisses Williams a$$, Murph and Andy just talk random things, while loving to prove how smart they think they are, and kiss Pollards a$$ every chance they get. The other guys (can't remember their name) at 4 are unlistenable(RIP Wolfgang).
Don't think to much into his comment. You will find alot of subtle racism on here. He means since 85% of ISU's scholarship players are black they all talk like they are "thugs".
If you want a virus, I would say go do it. That site is one of the worst sites I've ever visited with all the malware and stuff. I won't ever go back it was that bad.
You're the only person bringing race into it. Don't you have some halfway important people to tweet, in order to try to get attention?
I went there to check out the XF posts to see what others were talking about, never again. Man, what a sensitive group, they hate everything Iowa.
I have nothing to add other than, that every time I see your handle pop up in a thread it makes me chuckle. That is all, carry on.
Fascinating - Bauer was a walk-on, so I don't really count him, but none of them are not listed in Wikipedia nor do I remember them playing for Alford but, based on the field goals made (2 total for all 3) for the other 3 mentioned, I can see why. The Minutes Played column is blank on that site so it is really hard to tell if they even got into games.
Blast from the past!
Last time I ventured over to cryclown fanatic I came back with a case of the herpes.
Thanks for the info on Bauer.
Its hard to argue that Fran was given a bare cupboard and Alford wasnt. Not saying you did but someone in this thread threw out Fran's first year when comparing his and Alford's winning % but counted Alford's full tenure at Iowa.
Read my earlier post. Alford had the table set for a great recruiting class the next few years until he screwed up with Pierce and his attitude. The fans were rabid. What McC walked into was far worse from that perspective and it's not even close.
So much this ^
Heck, we played Virginia in the NIT several years ago. It's all about getting the horses out on the recruiting trail, though. There's diamonds in the rough ,there's guys who develop and become great players like Aaron White. But by and large, either you have the guys or you don't, and if you don't, you can't expect a lot better than .500 in the league and sneaking into the tournament.
Oddly enough, I tried several that were taken, in anger I typed this, and low and behold it was ok.
Des Moines media is terribly slanted for Ronald McDonald. So gross
I have sources that use to be with the program that say he broke up with his GF and will be announcing he will be committing to Iowa on Monday
Steve’s first game he took down #1 U Conn with the remains of Dr. Tom’s sweet 16 unit.
Fran followed Lick. Tell me again how Steve was left such a bad deal and Fran had equal players.

Per my source, “my boss’s old golf coach is his grandpa and lives here in CR. Boss talked to him a couple weeks ago and said it was Iowa v isu a day or two before it was announced. Said he likes ISUs staff more but like Iowa’s players more. Then after the gf news he was fairly confident in the hawks. Plus he likes those Murray twins and knows em well apparently. Fran made a point to tell foster they were committing before they announced.”
Those murray twins commitments make sense now if this is true

Your source's boss's old golf coach? No disrespect, but please forgive me if I don't take this to the bank.
I've made my peace with this whole saga, and I hope everyone else can, too. If Foster picks Iowa on Monday, great. If not, so be it. I'm not going to freak out about it.

Do you guys not understand that Cyclone fans use CycloneReport on this website? Cyclone Fanantic is NOT our message board of choice.
Cyclone fans are claiming it's a done deal that he's going to State, for whatever that's worth.
You should visit there the 48 hours after a loss to Iowa. This year it was the phantom holding call, year before it was the weather and for bball was because Wigginton didn't play. About the only time I go there is to get a good laugh to hear their excuses. Talk about a group that would fit in well for a remake of one flew over the cuckoos nest.
Is that where you get your information on televised games?
I believe that @BrunoMars420 said that his source's info came from his boss,... and that the boss got the info from his old golf coach, who is Foster's grandfather,.. do I have that right?
I actually did not know that, primarily because I don’t spend my time looking up or posting on other teams’ message boards
You've posted for a long time.
I have no reason to question your veracity.
Someone posted Xavier is coming to the game tonight. Any confirmations on that?
Cyclone fans claim a lot of things.
They don't know anymore than anyone else. And it's quite possible Xavier is really torn on this decision. That is my guess.
From what I've heard, the plan was for XF to let his family know by today what his choice was so they could make arrangements. I don't think he's undecided anymore. It's possible that he told the Iowa staff his decision last night.
We know more about a great many things than anybody else. Foster's future may not be one of them, but still......
