Our players publicly quit social media over "fans". I'm all-in with their take as they are the one's who are giving everything for this school, their coach and the broader fan base.
You defended Rhoads up until the disaster in Manhattan. You of all people on this site shouldn't get an opinion on the topic.
Yeah he said unless you are a blue blood or Gonzaga/Texas Tech you can’t re-load. I guess I’m at a loss for how he can consider Texas Tech a blue blood that can just re-load when Tech had 5 consecutive losing seasons from 2011-2015. I would think Texas Tech would be the last example this poster would want to use in support of the current state of the program.
A lot of the same people that defended CPR are defending Prohm.
on the defender side, they want recruits/players/staff to not see negative stuff. Understand that side.
on the angry side, people arent happy and think the program could do better. Its not that these people are trolls or are bad people (for the most part). Deep down they want the best for the program.
the problem is the extreme fans on both sides. The ones that fling personal insults in defending Prohm or to recruits/players/staff. (Plenty of examples here. If you followed the game thread yesterday you would see what im talking about.)
The line most people are angry for the other side crossing is when to ask for firing people and whether thats a personal insult. Everyone here has a different interpretation of that.
Giving everything? I would hope that their not because if this is all they have we need a big transfer exodus.
It’s no coincidence to me that the only player who has progressed noticeably from last year to current year is the one who had entirely different coaches all summer.
I get that people are probably going too far. However, this program is going to be dangerously close to apathy level if we ha e the season I think we will. Want to go to the KU game Wednesday? Tickets are available for 18 bucks on stubhub. This fan base has zero expectations right now.
I would just add that, Losing to the worst b-ball team in the big 12 sure doesn't help the situation....aka CSP's standing with our fanbase....It's time to beat Kansas.....
And here we have exactly what is wrong with college sports.
I tweeted at Georges Niang after the Kansas game on Jan 13. 2014. He went 0 for 9 from three and I tweeted something stupid like "Georges Niang tried to throw away his dinner and missed the waste basket."
He liked my tweet and said "thanks for being a fan." I deleted it and have never tweeted at a player or tweeted about an individuals performance since.

I think it's ridiculous that people message players directly or tweet at them but when your coach says "we weren't ready to play" against the hated instate rival and then we lose to a 1-9 team in hilton prepare yourself for some criticism.
I've never understood why people care what coaches and players say when things are going bad. What do you want them to say?

Wow. In all honesty you strike me as being a remarkably arrogant person.
Actually I think it's funny also. He is the publisher of the sight that routinely throws coaches and players under the bus. I appreciate Cyclone fanatic but if it was not for the fanatic part of the fan base, even the ones that post and say stupid stuff to players, this site would not have near as much traffic. If he really is that mad at some of the fans, he might want to think about deleting all these threads that are throwing Prohm under the bus.
Granted, I like this site. I think people on this site have a right to their opinion on the coaches and all of that. I just think it's a little strange that Chris came out and said that when most of the bashing happens on his site.
I'm slowly coming to the realization we could finish last in B12 for the 2nd time in last 3-seasons. I still can't accept an average Iowa team had us down at one point by 25 - in Hilton.
I will not buy an ESPN+ sub this season and I will not buy Cyclone TV sub next season.
But I will never negatively respond to a Social Media tweet from a coach, or player.
Oh no! A random guy can no longer voice his opinion! Oh no! I wasn't on the fire train soon enough! Oh no! I support CSP and CMC! Oh no! I supported GMac and CPR! Oh no! I don't think Fred was all that special! Oh no! I think CSP is the best recruiter we've had and he can fix some things with a change in bench coaches! Oh no!
