Well, I did all of this and you can interpret it how you want. I included conference tournament and post season tournaments in the opponents' records. Also, if say ISU beat a team twice in one season, I only included that record once when computing averages of records.

First off, impressive foot work on compiling these stats; it's much appreciated.

The quote above says it all: ISU is a team that beats the teams it's supposed and looses to teams that have better records. The real question is this - what can Gmac do to take us to the next level?

Exactly...we average beating about 5 winning teams per year. Some of the averages of the records are inflated because we seem to get ONE big win per year, at least the last few...one year it was against 25-14 Baylor and another against like 25-9 Purdue..Take those out and the average records against teams we've beaten with winning records would be closer to .500

Sorry.... i was just being a smart*** to my friend.
I was actually really contemplating whether or not to reply, because somewhere in the back of my head I thought you were joking, but we get all types here so I saw your post count and figured you were serious. :biglaugh:

would stepping down in the middle of the season really be good for anybody?

Yes. Probably. I know excitement would build around how the team would react, and the coaching search would be interesting. I would think ISU could be a pretty attractive job, and we should get a top candidate because we are looking so early.

I am being serious. Who are the top canidate out there. I would like Billie Gillespie if he was cleaned up. Have an iron clad contract that states with any mess up he is terminated without any buyout. Texas A and M would be similar pressure wise to us and I think he could succeed. OUtside of him I can't think of many coaches that are clean and would be considered a top canidate. Honestly, I don't pay a lot of attention to basketball outside of the big news, ISU, Michigan and Georgetown so I don't know whos out there.

That's a look at North Dakota State's season to date.
I think that gives you a pretty good idea just how bad Iowa State has gotten as the season as gone along.
Mcdermott's clearly lost control of his team.
Given our schedule, an 0-5 start to the Big 12 season is more than likely.
This season is going to get a lot uglier than it's already been.

I disagree with this to an extent. Thats just like saying that Team A beat Team B who beat Team C so Team A is better than Team C. I challenge you to look at Texas A&M Corpus Christi's schedule. Its not much prettier than NDSU but Texas only beat them by 6, and I'm pretty sure Texas isn't too worried about it.
