Is this the thread where @ssholes attempt to belittle our best team of all time? If so I don't like this thread. OP is a tool anyway.
This is the best our overall basketball program has ever been!

Great Post. The negative posters on this site have been out of line. This is the best Iowa State basketball has ever been and as good as it ever will be. This is as good as it gets. Stability, incredible coach that is always cool calm and collected. Fun basketball and many wins plus NCAA tournament every year. Everyone should enjoy it.

As well as people using that team to knock this year's team, because it's somehow a disappointment to a number of fools out there.
Here here.
And, for the record, I think last year's team (and this year's team if it were running on cylinders) would give the Fizer/Tinsley team a run for its money. Fred would have the best of game plan. Kane v. Tinsley for alpha male in the backcourt and Ejim v. Fizer for the same in the frontcourt would be some epic matchups. And there's always Naz, lurking in that corner, ready for the dagger three...
No it's a thread where people remind you that CFH is in a whole other universe from LE. I like LE but he never got a Gameday here now did he?
If you are going on what-ifs, what if White comes back or Georges does not get injured?
This is as good as the program has ever been.
I've been blasted many times, but that team was the toughest team we have ever had. Nothing has come close since. But that was 1 team 1 year a number of years ago. Still my favorite basketball team and by saying that it in NO way means this team is not good. We'll do good things this year but THAT team was special.
LE was a scumbag too by the way. Not sure why anyone still thinks he should have had any more chances than he already did. An embarrassment to the institution and he killed his kids, but MAN what a tough team.
Final 4 team... Program is in great shape. Would love to see another team make a run at that special year.
Why is this even a debate. The original framing of the argument was the overall strength of the program, not the accomplishments of one or two years. If you want to debate who was the best team, fine. There are arguments to be made. But hindsight is 20/20, and there is no question overall the basketball program is stronger and more consistent then it's ever been assuming there are no monumental changes in the near future.
rebecacy - definition: to act with rebeca like qualities. Ex: "His rebecacy was clear when he unnecessarily compared teams from different eras, much like rebeca used to."
I'm just curious why OP feels he has to act like an asshat to make his point. Can anyone explain that to me?
The records of any one or two ISU teams aren't relative to this topic, the bottom line is, ISU is in line to makes its FOURTH straight tourney. Add to that the fact that we will return 6 of the top 8 (with 2 transfers incoming) and a 5th tourney is almost a given. All of this is happening in the toughest conference in the country. No disrespect to LE or TF's guys but the big 12 north/big 8 schedules they played just don't stack up. One of those guys could've coached better teams but neither had the program anywhere near the level we have it at today. Do yourselves a favor and enjoy it. Seems like too many of the pouters either weren't ISU fans during the McD days or don't remember them.
No. The bottom line is that this is so obvious a thread isn't even necessary. Everyone knows ISU basketball as a program is at an all time high and still trending up. The idea that someone needs to start an angry thread about it, makes no sense
The ****** OP didn't say this is the best the program has been and stop. It was the ****** that brought up old news. NOBODY on this board (there CAN'T be a single one) would claim any other program in our history comes close to this. I think we can debate best TEAMS (the Fizer team was balls deep in toughness), but even a mouth-breathing idiot would agree we have the best program in our history.
So if you're trying to read between the lines, the OP is a ******. Balls-deep in douchedom. And he wears an a@@ for a hat and it suits him.
