The jury is still out on GMAC also. I'm not saying that he won't succeed as that is what I hope with every day. But there is nothing coaching wise that we can hang our hat on so far.

We are the Cyclones. You will be assimilated. Resistance is futile.

Same here. Die-hard Iowa before I went to college...realized the error of my ways...die-hard cyclone now.

Like Mac, it's going to take time to get the smell out of the program to where they can do what they do best; teach and coach with a competitive hand.

The jury is definitely still out as he has only coached a few games and they haven't been successful. Recruiting and coaching at Butler is a little different than recruiting and coaching in the Big 10. I think he will be successful but for anyone to say that the jury isn't still out on him isn't right.

Same goes for McDermott, the jury is still out. The signs that he will be successful are there but we obviously aren't there yet.

Ask GMac when Diante is going to start.

Once our season tanked the amount of **** I got from Hawkeye fans completed eliminated my ability to wish anything good for Iowa's athletic program. And I don't just mean the usual **** talking, these people were downright ****** about it. From the on out is was nothing but disdain on my part for EIU.

Man, you are so right about 2002. That season was miserable and amount of Hawk trash-talking that went on was unbelievable. It seemed like they were almost more giddy about our tank job than the fact that they went 11-1. "Scoreboard" didn't even work as a comeback. That season was definitely the genesis of the "super bowl" myth.

When you pay someone that much of your hard earned dough its tough to not change sides! Plus the two pieces of paper on my wall say ISU!

There are quite a few converts, I am one also. Grew up in CR, I loved Dr. Tom was very sad to see him leave, plus I grew up to hate Michigan. My family would have a huge get together for the Iowa-Michigan game every year. Then I came to ISU, took me a year of college here in Ames to finally fully convert, I think beating the Hawks in 2001 and then being in IC for that game in 2002 sealed the deal for me.

My family lives in Cedar Rapids. Now my father always says I was an Iowa fan, but now my money (for me and my brother) goes to ISU. I root for ISU now

But if you can't tell, I am a BIG fan of Coach McDermott, Coach Sanderson and Coach Fennelly, and it's not an act in the least bit. I don't know the FB coaches yet.

Do you mean you don't know them personally and that's why you're not a big fan? Or just haven't seen their success yet to become a fan.

Jon,

This might be an interesting topic for you on your show, the number of ISU fans that grew up Iowa fans and convereted.

Might be an interesting topic. Heck, I admit I'm one too. Funny how many of us realized how evil the dark side is. Or just how big of idiots their fans are. Opps did I say that.
