In basketball, you need to get a bit lucky with a couple of guys. In football, you really need to have a great team.
With the recruits coming down the pipeline, I'm just more optomistic about Men's Basketball (believe it or not).
I hope football does well, but it's such a big, long process that it's really hard to tell. I also think we're much farther behind with money, recruits, etc, to those in the conference in Football than Basketball....
I definitely agreeQuote:

Men's basketball has not shown anything since Stinson left.
Football..... ugh 5-19
I suppose the answer to the question is in how we define success. I see basketball success as consistent NCAA tournament selection and an occasional multigame run into the tournament. I see football success as consistent bowl selection, with an occasional trip to a better bowl game. I think both of these is attainable with the current coaching staffs. I think that basketball has the capability of being a top 30 program, and football a top 50 program. I do not think that success for either program will mean an NCAA or bowl trip every year- maybe 3 out of every 4 or 5.
I can't wait for 2008 to end. I has been a horrible year for ISU sports. I was hopeful that, finallly FB and MBB would take a step forward this year. If they did, it must have been a very small step. It seems like we are alway waiting for next year. Well 2009 can't be much worse than 2008, so wait until next year...............:jimlad:
IF fairing better means post season, I'm going with Football first.
No way in hell this Basketball team gets a sniff of post season. If the dice fall right we got an outside chance at some crappy bowl game next year. I just don't see Basketball going in the right direction.
Football. No doubt in my mind. Beginning in '09 - assuming Rhoads holds on to his players/recruits.

In the long run? Basketball, but that seems like a long way away.
