G-Mac must be loving the timing of this football thing...

First year at ISU, first game vs. his old team - at their place.

Yet everyone and their mother is looking at Pollard and who the new football coach will be. Sure, some coverage will still be done about G-Mac returning to UNI - yet it's not even close to what it would have been if the football coaching search had not taken place or was over by now.

And with the announcement set to take place tomorrow night, just 2 days before the basketball game - it gets even better.

G-Mac and his young team get to fly under the radar as they travel to UNI.

Is it bad timing or good timing? Though to tell, if we were losing, it could be Good Timing. But we are winning so I think it kind of sucks. Hopefully everyone still knows what is going on with the team to get a good following at Hilton when they return. Hopefully we keep winning so Fans will notice the team when the coaching carousel is complete.

well, I live several hundred miles from Ames and have followed the men's hoops team as much as possible in this young season, as I love ISU hoops and as long as they are putting a team on the hardwood, they'll never go under my radar, especially with the internet and ESPN full court!!

Personnally I think it is good. The media can't inflate anyone's head on the team. McD can keep them humble and hungry without any outside influence. Look for them to come out hungry tomorrow and ready to dominate. I can't wait for Jiri's return.

Lucky McD is big. He can get his point across to novice players.
