Grill's deal likely should have been a foul but it didn't look malicious.

I personally love that the vast majority of them honestly think that Iowa is doing incredibly well and that Fran deserves more time to figure things out lol.
I grew up an Iowa fan and don't hate them like many here. I actually want them to be somewhat better for my family to enjoy, I mean 2 decades of Fran ball is way too much.
When you look at those 20 years...in a real way...they could have a lot more success and still not eclipse what ISU has done in the same time frame. Give Fran a few more NCAA wins and couple of sweet 16s and he is still lagging way behind ISU during his tenure.
A few of them know and in that thread it's really clear who knows the truth and who is deluding themselves. They act as if 3x more NCAA wins is meaningless. Do they really think ISU is as good as Kansas or Kentucky that have 3x more ncaa wins over the past dozen years? They really believe that?
Some of them really focus in on the one year Prohm got fired and act like it matters way more than the other 20-30 years around it. Others somehow look at our "bad stretch" as being longer than their Lick disaster. Lick and McD pretty much overlap and as bad as McD was, Lick was slightly worse. McD could never quite get there, but teams competed sometimes. Lick was horrifically bad. For the past ten years they also ignore that the Big 12 is just far and away the toughest conference. You can't just compare straight wins, it's why you have to look at post season results. Same way with SEC football.
It was literally all in the first 10 minutes....
Translation: I would rather roll with the coach that can't breath through his nose
Jesus. The Hok gobbling in this state never ceases to amaze me.
I need a behind the basket view to know how bad Grill undercut him or how intentional it was. The ref was standing a little to the side but more under the basket. It's really hard to tell with just the broadcast angle.
Labeling Grill as a dirty player is laughable.
How would they know what a Sweet 16 game feels like?
It was the same realm as the play when one of their guys injured Race Thompson. Neither was dirty - their guy was trying to dive for the ball and Grill was trying to box out on a rebound, the Texas guy just happend to jump for the ball.
I really think the 2 horrible Prohm years (mostly the one) are clouding everything. Saying “LOL 2-22” is a lot easier than actually diving into any sort of factual analysis.
Wow that was incredibly delusional by a lot of people in that thread. They fail to mention the numerous Big12 tournament championships or the success of players that have been drafted and in the NBA.
I do think that we got lucky that Prohms down years were during COVID and the Hawks good team had the tournament cancelled.

The Prohm disaster year is the only year that counts in basketball...and simultaneously our Fiesta Bowl win season is the only year that doesn't count in football.
Which is it? Either the disaster counts and our best football season is totally normal other than having one non-conf game cancelled...or there was no disaster year in basketball because 2020 didn't count for football.
Totally happy to let them think that.
As much as I hate Iowa, them being successful rest of the year only helps us. And I don’t want Fran’s seat to get hot. Let them wallow in mediocrity forever if they please.
That year also coincides with Iowa’s “best team” they’ve ever had and Luka winning POY lol.
I don’t want to burst everyone’s bubble, but the post the OP shared was a poster trolling cause a cyclone poster says that quite often about Iowa and the Big Ten. The Big 12 is objectively the best conference in basketball by a landslide and they know that.
Big XII basketball is a lot better than sec football as there are ZERO crap team automatic wins in Big XII hoops!!
Does the Cyclone poster also use poorly worded arguments and adjectives in place of adverbs?
I honestly think Fran is doing amazing considering the situation he walked into. You can’t expect just to rebuild in 15 years
