Bostinelosd, I love your post BTW. You are honest but not too much on the positive side (which I like). I also like that you stick up for your/my team and don't let the debbie downers get you down. Keep up the good work.:notworthy:

I have yet to hear the Mac detractors give any suggestions as to what they would do to better the team/program. I'm very curious how they would go about fixing things.
Why focus your attention on me? Why not take realistic, hard look at our BB program and the man who is in charge of it? We are closing in on the end of year 3 and, as I've said before, the concrete evidence is that he is not producing as our head coach...period.
I want ISU to win. A good but not great KU team came in to James H. Hilton Coliseum today and basically had the game in hand the entire 40 minutes. I remember when KU used to bring a top 10 team in and not be able to come out with a win.
This post looks pretty bad coming from a Cyclonefanatic "All-Star" ~ what does that mean anyway? It's ovbiously not being an "All-Star" for undying support and encouragement of the Cyclones. :wink:
Just my opinion though and I'm not an All-Star so my opinion doesn't matter anyway. No hard feelings - I just hope you can enjoy the rest of your weekend.......
If I was the coach, you're damn right I'd like to win. But, I can virtually guarantee I wouldn't. Working hard, being a nice guy, and wanting to win doesn't necessarily mean you'll win.
Greg has a chance to be one of the best representatives for ISU. I think the only thing missing is W's, and hopefully he figures out how to do that.
Let a couple years of recruiting classes mature to the point where we have 5 scholarship starters and an 8 man rotation of scholarship players in the system. The recruiting classes continue to grow in talent and although we haven't produced wins, we are producing more and more talent to achieve those wins.
Nope, I just want to see ISU have a winning program again. A program the protects the home court (ie: wins at home), is competitive in its league, can make a run in the conference tourney, and is making the NCAA tourney on a regular basis. If McDermott was proving to me that he can do this I would be quite satisfied with him as our head coach...I am just not seeing any proof.
This was my first time seeing the team play this year and I must say that I was very disappointed. Other than Craig, they couldn't throw it in the ocean. IMHO we rely entirely to much on the 3 pointer. Perhaps what was most frustrating for me was the almost complete lack of offensive rebounding. There was often not even a white jersey in the picture for an offensive board. What is with that? When you shot as poorly as we did today, you better have the team crashing the boards. My daughters 3rd grade team put on a superior rebounding display too the Cyclones today. I am as pro-Cyclone as anyone and try to put a positive spin on anything cardinal and gold, but other than Craigs effort, there was NOTHING to like about the game today.
One thing I will say is KU was just having things fall today. How many shots did they bank in? 5?
