Thanks for the heads up!

I can see him sitting there in his snuggie with a hot cup of cocoa..answering questions.

**Aclone** · 12-23-2008, 02:29 PM

Funny--he's doing a great job of answering nothing remotely specific.

**Cybyassociation** · 12-23-2008, 02:30 PM

people need to learn to check if their questions have already been answered. People keep asking about recruiting and what kind of offense/defense he will run. Obviously with no coaches in place, he cant really say much about that.

Well, that should be taken care of by the person monitoring questions.

**Cybyassociation** · 12-23-2008, 02:32 PM

well you would certainly think so wouldnt you! i guess they arent doin a great job either!

**GeronimusClone** · 12-23-2008, 02:34 PM

Yeah, that's what I meant. Those dumb bastards are probably busy checking the Iowa boards.

**ornryactor** · 12-23-2008, 02:35 PM

Yeah, the moderator isn't exactly posting awesome questions.

This is about the only halfway-insightful thing we've seen so far, and it's still a response that I think a lot of us would expect out of a respectable Cyclone coach:

**Farnsworth** · 12-23-2008, 02:38 PM

my questions must hardcore suck, non of them are getting asked.

**Aclone** · 12-23-2008, 02:40 PM

I sent the question, "Do you hate the Hawks?"

We'll see if it comes up.

**Al_4_State** · 12-23-2008, 02:40 PM

Says he won't call the specific plays, but will manage all three aspects of the game. Sounds like he'll have his hands a little dirtier than Gene's which is nice.
