Yeah, it's way over the top. All of it.
But it's not an Iowa sports story. Our media makes us look like the crazy, obsessed ex.

Why? We shouldn’t give a **** about the new Nebraska coach.
In the same way that anything Monte does in Denver or Georges does in Utah isn't an Iowa sports story?
I went a step further and never followed in the first place because Twitter is stupid. Suck it, Fred!
Not an apples to apples comparison. When Fred left ISU to go to Chicago, the media following made sense. That was four years ago. Driving to Lincoln to cover a story about our former coach getting the head position there is overdoing it, IMO. Showing a clip from the Nebraska media would suffice.
If ISU were after him, I don't think he'd have taken either.
Probably for the same reason there are 2K posts in this thread.
They know it'll get views.
I mean if you want to say that Fred is just a "former coach" then you do you I suppose. This is a really long and angry thread about a guy that's just a "former coach".
We would never pay Fred what Nebraska is paying him especially with what happened before. Pollard is a business man and sees we can get the same or better results with Prohm. For less money without the stink that is Matty A.
In the same way, with one major difference.
Anything ISU related is an Iowa sports story, and the coverage generally benefits ISU. Example, covering former ISU basketball stars now in the NBA.
Now we have an ISU figure getting coverage, but it benefits a school we’ll soon be competing with.
Here's one more just to confirm.

He's dreamier in Cardinal than in (looks up Nebraska's official color) scarlet. Really? Scarlet? I guess they generally use red because they're not smart enough to spell scarlet.
Did the local media go to the press conference when Jeff Hornacek was announced HC at either Phoenix or New York?
I have a sibling that used to smoke... stuff... with his brother in college. Does that count?
The media isn't obligated to do what's in ISU's best interest, they don't report on things former players are doing because it's good for ISU, they do it because they know people around here will care about it. Clearly people care about this.
This thing with Fred I think will be different though. Maybe not.
Repeating but Randy P. has to have just LOVED how ISU's bball season turned out and this latest stuff is just icing.
So many stupid questions he could ask, so little time.
First off Jeff Hornacek isn't Fred Hoiberg, Jeff played basketball here while Fred was a hometown kid turned Cyclone legend turned Cyclone coach. Jeff hasn't been associated with ISU athletics for over 30 years outside of some rumors during coaching searches, compared to less than 5 years ago for Fred.
