McDermott's ten best wins as ISU head coach

**cymonson** · 08-12-2009, 08:22 PM

what do you guys think

**SeattleClone** · 08-12-2009, 08:27 PM

Honestly, I think this is going to be a much harder list to get to 10. Not to be a negative nancy or anything...

**CycloneRulzzz** · 08-12-2009, 08:29 PM

I was going to start this earlier but couldn't find 10 good ones.

Among his best:
The comeback win at Mizzou
win at Minny with Mike Taylor going off
year one win at home vs OU
year two win against IA
year two win against Neb on centennial day. like 9 first half points and like 60-70 in the second half.
This past years OT win at UNI

ya i was thinking the same thing seattle, i had a feeling this would turn into a mcdermott bash thread after i posted it because he doesnt have many big time wins

Though i wanted it to be a good thread bout McD

Last year throttling Colorado. 9 points or whatever in the first half was freaking amazing.

I'm definitely not trying to turn it into a McDermott bash, but the sad truth is there aren't 10 GOOD wins in his 3 years here. Hopefully that will all change this year.

@Missouri (Season 1)

We should start a list of the 10 big wins he will get this year.

I'll start, KU at home and Duke in Chicago

-@ Missouri in year 1
-Beating Purdue in Vegas year 2.
-Winning @ UNI in year 3.

Not exactly a great resume. Hopefully this year we can add a win over Duke, Kansas or Texas to the mixture. I'll be shocked if we don't get one of them.

wow all road games.

I wonder what his best win in Hilton is?

**cymonson** · 08-12-2009, 08:45 PM

Iowa?

That'll go down as one of the funniest wins I've watched from anybody

All of us have to admit there aren't a ton of big wins in the last 3 years. I've got no problem with that.

I just don't see where people think it was going to be much better with the disaster he inherited. It takes time to build a team from nothing.

**cymonson** · 08-12-2009, 08:48 PM

he doesnt have many great wins in hilton but he does have some great games Oklahoma this yr Kansas 1st yr Texas yr 2

High points for me in GMac's tenure:

1. @ Mizzou
2. @ UNI
3. @ Minn
4. Purdue

The worst losses would significantly outweigh these though. Time for some road wins and some home upsets this coming season!
