Great stuff. Interesting to hear how connected fred wishes he was with this team.

What do you think he meant when he said this group has a chance to do what no other ISU team has ever done? Make the national championship? We have a final 4 team and a recent elite 8.

Considering Fred picked Iowa State to win the national championship on his bracket, I would guess he means that.

Absolutely. Fred always believed this core group could do it these past few years.

It means he understands chance. He's not saying it's likely by any means. As long as you're alive, there is a chance.

We don't have a FF team...that 1940 whatever team it was like today's NIT.. No comparison. There were 8 teams back then and it wasn't same.

So,let me ask this....Does anyone think the team meeting with Fred and going to Bulls game is some big distraction? Idk it seems that when the team went to NYC they did all these things and players later said maybe it was too much..I just don't see how 2 days before the game going to an NBA game in same Arena u will play in is a distraction? If anything I'd think that it would allow them to get a little perspective on the Arena if anything.
