Just what is our program becoming known for?

[Cymentor]

I guess someone didn't like the previous title? As I said I am certainly happy with what we have accomplished on court the last few years but at what point does the off court stuff overshadow that? Frankly I find it embarrassing one third of our team has worn an orange jumpsuit the last year.

Orange is the new cardinal?

Id be really surprised if any of these guys wore orange jumpsuits.

I find it unfortunate, but I don't care that much.

So what is your solution...or are you simply a Hawk in cardinal clothing?

 

[psychlone99]

What do you suggest we or Fred do about it?

Rough stretch, sure. Overall, I've been impressed with the lack of issues during Fred's tenure given the history of some of the transfers he's brought in.

 

[DeftOne]

Good grief. Hogue and Jackson aren't even on the team anymore. Nothing to see here. Move along.

 

[Rhoadhoused]

Why are they counting BDJ? He was immediately released because he was arrested on trumped up charges.

 

[Cymentor]

Just because I dislike our players getting arrested I am a hawk fan? I thought Hawk fans like their players getting arrested? Obviously the solution is to recruit players who are also solid citizens, even if it lowers the quality a bit. Other schools seem to be able to. I guess I am not going to speak for everyone but he reputation of my alma mater is a little more important to me than a few basketball wins.

Why? usually what happens when you get booked. At least it was when I got a public intox in Iowa City 16 years ago for asking an officer a question on my 21st birthday.

This is the same guy that was hating on the state of Iowa in another thread, so yes he is a troll. By responding to him you are giving him exactly what he wants.

Our program is known as one with a classy coach who gives some kids a 2nd chance to turn their lives around. It is known as a program with quality kids who play their heart out. Just to answer your question.

The kinds of relatively minor legal issues that have cropped up under FH's tenure have been handled very appropriately, and ISU has a reputation as a solid and clean program. Anything else you'd like to know, Hawkeye?

Iowa State University's reputation is not based off a few bball players.

This is moranic. Not having enough evidence to prosecute doesn't mean the charges were trumped up. At the very least he's guilty of being an enormous *******.

Dude, you're over-reacting. Relax. Oh wait...this is CF...carry on.

Gotta get dem page views.

He already issues more strict discipline than the school to the east. Since this sort of thing is bound to go there.

Nobody on next year's team has gotten into trouble in the offseason, if they had they would be punished by the program. It's been pretty consistent. One slip and you get punished. Not sure what else can be done, it's not like he's giving multiple warnings Fran style.

Yea, what he said!
