I don't think that is what he was talking about. I think he was saying that he is never satisfied and always wants to improve the athletic department. No college is ever "done building" there is always stuff to be done if you have the money.Quote:

And it's not like he was only winning 10 games a year, he just didn't light the world on fire. Cael was a homerun and there was nothing we could do about him leaving. Nothing wrong with that hire at all. KJ appears to be a miss, I'll give you that one.Quote:

I know. I was thinking exactly the same thing as I read the announcement yesterday about the Mediacom deal and then heard all the praise the local sportstalk guys were heaping on ISU for getting this done.Quote:

A LOT of people have TLN, whether they watch it is another story but it does reach a lot of tvs. Again, if you were meaning simply in Iowa you may be correct.Quote:

Those were all outstanding hires at the time. Now, obviously they didn't quite work out, but that's true of most things :laugh:Quote:
