We can't control any of that...so why fret or worry about it.So, the 5th best B1G team just lost miserably on its home court to the 9th best team. Wonder if NET will make a rational adjustment? Our win will end up being Quad 3. How pitiful!
Come on, Fran! Put together a competitive team!! What if they end up getting a really good coach after this year's scrap show? We all know B1G schools have the money.
Hard to tell which front running, over the top fan base is worse. Iowa Women's basketball as a substitute for the men's team, or the Husker fans pretending they really care about volleyball.
Brock Harding. Illinois Mr Basketball lol?Some had offers from Western Illinois and Eastern Illinois. Tough decision for those kids.
He would’ve been really good at Drake. He won’t hold up to the grind of a major conference season.Brock Harding. Illinois Mr Basketball lol?
came down to LIU... Drake.... or the keys to run the show for a P5 program lol.
Talk about recruiting against yourself. I'm sure his parents could have afforded a prove it walk-on year, MINIMUM.
Package deal to get Freeman maybe? Or more likely since Fran had invested in the hour drive over to Moline, he was like, "If I could kill two birds with one stone here, that'd be great."Brock Harding. Illinois Mr Basketball lol?

Quite possible. Harding committed almost immediately upon offer. Freeman took several more months to decide and had a legit deep and impressive offer list. Iowa wasn't even his last OFV. Wisconsin was.Package deal to get Freeman maybe?

Let me guess, ISU fans were volleyball fans long before Nebraska fans even knew women's volleyball existed?Hard to tell which front running, over the top fan base is worse. Iowa Women's basketball as a substitute for the men's team, or the Husker fans pretending they really care about volleyball.
He can be their Assistant In Charge of Getting Mad Again.Exactly. He'll be a consultant at Notre Dame with Jack playing there.
Good one.Let me guess, ISU fans were volleyball fans long before Nebraska fans even knew women's volleyball existed?
Fran’s going to wind up as Iowa’s all time winningest coach and get canned all in the same season

I think we have the same friend!Had a chance today to talk about the ISU-Hok game with a buddy of mine (Hok fan). For most of this non-con season, he was really talking up the Iowa team - especially highlighting how great the Frosh & Krikke were. Today, he said - "Iowa isn't very good this year." I wasn't even bragging about the win or chiding him about the Hoks. He's a good guy but, when it comes to Hok sports, he - like many fans my age - are still stuck in the 80s & believe that ISU NEVER has a superior team & deserves absolutely NO credit for any win against Iowa.
looked them up
UNI 2011
Wisky 2014
MD 2018
NW 2023
Michigan 2023
They scored 25% of their 80 points, in the last 3 minutes and 23 seconds of the game. That's how you make a beat down look respectable, to the casual observer.Only to hit 4 out of last 5 to finish 5-20. Standard end of game flurry to make it look closer than it was. Mich up 20 with 3:30 to go, Iowa outscores them 20-10 in last 3+ minutes.
By my math that’s more ejections (5) than NCAA tournament wins (4)
If Iowa is looking for a new coach next year there might be some heavier hitters looking as well.
Louisville for sure will be looking.
Now Maybe Michigan?
Yep, right after Iowa invented the color black.Let me guess, ISU fans were volleyball fans long before Nebraska fans even knew women's volleyball existed?
