    Franchise Ideas

    Thanks for all of the ideas, there are definitely new ones to look at! I really wanted to open a Noodles And Company, but they do not franchise anymore; all corporate stores only now. BWW and other large chains are out of my league right now. Having lived in Nebraska for 2 years, I will...

    Franchise Ideas

    Ok, I am interested in investing in a new franchise in the Cedar Falls area and possibly Ames or Iowa City. I am looking for input on smaller franchises that are not established in these cities (mainly restaurants, not the major chains like Buffalo Wild Wings, but something like the size of a...

    New Coach for MBB - A THOUGHT with rules

    This board has completely changed the impression of our fanbase...I've had several conversations about it. It has to be explained that this isn't who we are, when parents ask, why would I want to send my son there, if they are going to get treated like that? It can't be stopped...Just...

    Johnny Orr Era

    What Johnny did bring to the table was a high energy team that had a high probability of beating any team in the country at home and an equally high probability of losing (many times badly) on the road. Most of all, the memories(for me) of Johnny Orr that overshadow all else were the truly...

    Johnny Orr Era

    Yes, that's the name. He used to always tell us that smoking pot was ok and to leave the guys form the islands alone. Since he was only there for 4 months, I never really got to know him beyond that...

    Johnny Orr Era

    It would have been interesting to have internet forums like this back then. We would not have been lacking for stories to talk about; good and bad.

    Johnny Orr Era

    I have read many posts about Johnny Orr not having that great of a record and the Hilton not being loud. Also since, I have no clue what to expect tonight (will we come to play, will we defend the perimeter, will we get Brackins the ball in spots where he can dominate, will we miss free throws...

    Assessment from last night

    Outside of Dendy, I don't think the bench play was good. Granted Boozer was injured early in the second half, but I think the lack of bench minutes impacted our shooting in the second half (tired legs). I am hopeful of more from SC, DB and Boozer when healthy. The team did really compete, I...

    Crossroads 2

    Quez has the potential, but I just haven't seen him play a consistent game. He defeinitely has game and you are probably right in that he needs to play more consistently for us to have a solid conference record. I would like to see him pull up form 10 feet instead of trying to get to the rim as...

    Crossroads 2

    kind of a side not but i noticed that alot of the players really dont know the plays.. which is pathetic.. mainly it being Dendy..i could here DG yelling at at him every time on the offensive side of the ball against NDSU I agree. This is not a by product of having to remember multiple...

    Crossroads 2

    Again as a disclaimer, playing through high school and coaching kids does not make me qualified to know how to coach at the D1 level, so this is only an opinion. Last week, I posted that the next 2 weeks will determine if we become a team or spiral into disarray. Personally, I am very...

    What should Coach Mac Do?

    Dryburn, I agree with most of what you say. A couple of differing points: The dribbling out front is frustrating, but the reason is likely players not running the play crisply (or not at all). I doubt the intention is for DG to just dribble. A weak screen, slow movement causes plays to break...

    Crossroads

    Ok, my first ever post, so be “softâ€￾ in your responses. This is only my view and my background is no more than playing in high school and coaching young teenagers. There were a lot of negatives from the Duke game. No consistent hard block outs on the boards, bigs getting blocks BECAUSE...
