True, but they'll still clamor for the quick and easy fix thinking that will solve things when it likely won't.

Nah... I don't blame him for not going to ISU(train wreck).... He had other options like Duke, UCLA, etc... but he chose the one that seemed like a can't miss for the FINAL FOUR. At the pace UNC is on they may give ISU a run for their money in being the worst team in a BCS conference this year. Now that is funny.

Only one thing has been consistent over that decade and that's changing coaches every few years for one reason or another. That is very very detrimental to do to a program over that short of a period of time.

I read the article and what I took away is a very young UNC team that is often playing five freshman at one time. That is not the case for ISU.

I'm guessing that UNC will be dominating again next season. Can you say the same for ISU's prospects?

I'm not a GM hater, but I do expect progress for nearly $1m dollars a year. The buck stops with the head coach, and that is the reality. That salary is going to get harder and harder to support if you can't entertain the fans that pay the toll.

The original poster, posted, what you should have taken from it.

Who cares its UNC

I have two concerns only Texas and Iowa State

**Go2Guy** · 02-05-2010, 11:17 AM

I'm willing to bet Roy gets his issues fixed before Greg fixes our issues.

Problems with the team are easy. PG is the problem UNC doesn't have a good PG and neither do we. If we did, we would win more and players would be happier. They wouldn't transfer because winning solves everything. They wouldn't get frustrated during the game because they would get the ball in a position to score

the original poster didn't provide much of anything in the way of analysis or opinion.

it was a cool link, but if there is some magic statement there that clarifies the reason for isu's struggles, i'm missing it.

Hope he/she comes back online, so he/she can explain it to us.

Im with you... that would be sweet... we go dancing all 4 years hb is at NC, and they do not touch it... doubtful given their upcoming recruiting classes, but that would make my next 4 years fun.

kg- no problem. I understand the inference, and I want GM to succeed at ISU.

With that said, I'm losing a little hope. I can't speak for other fans, but I fear that is happening to a lot of pretty loyal fans.

I've been to every game this year, and I can't help but feel the program is on the edge of losing a lot of supporters.
