Iowa's greatest achievements under Fran are below average ISU basketball years. Clear fact.

Sorry that the truth drives you to jealous rage.
Crazy, because as far as i can tell, im not a bit jealous of ISU's success.

And yes, your one Sweet 16 showing since what....2005?...has me overly jealous!

Future will be bright, the NIT is a much friendlier place.

Both Iona and ALR were playing better right in the tournament than Iowa has been playing the last month. Iowa has looked awful down the stretch.

Yep, playing better...which i stated in my post by saying Iowa sucked lately...but i worded it different. But, to say that Iona and ALR are better than Iowa as a whole is a bit redic.

"That's none of your business" - Fran

That garbage flys with local reporters who are afraid to lose access, but try that with an AP guy or national outlet and they're going to kill Fran. I mean he's going to get murdered by the media anyway for his teams performance, but they would then pile on him personally as well. Do it Fran. Keep it real brah.

They won't miss Clemmons.... at least they shouldn't... he's awful.

Wagner shows some potential. At least he's not so soft as Uthoff and Woodpile.


Clemens wasn't awful. Always thought they should've developed him into the PG instead of Gesell. Gesell is terrible and a choke artist. Clemens actually showed some toughness here and there.

I was really hoping 'Nova would drop 100+ on these douchnozzles but it's not looking likely now.

I am wondering which would be more enjoyable...

Seeing Iowa thumped by 40

or

Having them come back only to lose when Gessel misses 2 FTs with no time on the clock.

jon miller calling out hok fans that are tweeting abuse at Fran's "15 year old" kids. Where was the outrage when hok fans were abusing Fred's 5 year old kids for crying after a loss?

Actually, 2nd in last 3 years but whose counting.

Yep, forgot about this year. Did you see me arguing that ISU was bad? Nope. Fred did a hell of a job and built ISU into what they are today, which is one hell of a team. Doesnt mean im jealous in the slightest

Temple, in OT? The same Temple that lost by almost 30 at home to Houston?
Yeah, ok.

Kenpom also had Iona higher rated than Temple, and I'm guessing Little Rock was higher rated as well. Don't let facts hurt his argument though.

You wouldn't trade Iowa's success for ISU's?

Fran did a terrible job of constructing this team. He has a 5'10" 2 guard playing point, and a 5'10" backup PG playing SG.
