The Fran fade is in full swing!

[CycloneRulzzz]

Had to look up Dr. Tom stats he got to Sweet 16 or further in his first 2 years at Iowa so likely mostly with Raveling's players and then in his last season. So I guess I overplayed how good he was.

Still better than what Fran has done.

 

[CycloneRulzzz]

Hes never made the S16 so the best he can be is .500

Fran career tourney record is 6-9 (4-6 at Iowa)

2 of those 6 wins are at Siena

so 4 tourney wins in 13 years at iowa lol

Good point. I actually think Fran bolts for Notre Dame after their first round exit.

Are you sure ND wants him? Do they need a new Grunchback?

Why would Notre Dame want them?

They don’t.

I wonder if Bohannon is offering packing advice this year?

 

[FerShizzle]

He’s not .500

 

[RonBurgundy]

They don’t.

I would think Fran would be way down the list.

I would suspect that after they’ve witnessed enough FranCon moments, he’s not even on the list.

ConAir is a piece of work.

Why would Notre Dame want them?

They definitely don’t. No one is going to want to hire a 60 year old Fran McCaffrey.

It's setting up for Barta to give him an 8 year extension

Tom was something like 10-8 in the tournament though right?

Fran has to be significantly under .500

Dr Tom had a heck of a run winning the first game in the tournament a number of years in a row. So he had to be .500 or around there. Mad Fran is not even close.

 

[CySmurf]

Dr. Tom though actually made a sweet sixteen or 2 but that wasn't good enough.

He made an elite 8 with Raveling's players but I digress.

They can get rested up for their tourney run now...

Last year they were too tired after their B1G tourney run...so if they don't do well next week it will be because of too much rest and being out of rhythm.

Consecutive tourney teams, 3, but never lost a first round game if they did make it.

There were several of his players that were easy to hate but they were generally respectable as a basketball team.

Marge gets a little moist when Fran gets this way.

Was their excuse the stickers on the floor again? That was my favorite - when the decals apparently only made it impossible for them to play but had no affect on any other team (or before/since).
