This is a great point. If you step away and take of your cardinal and gold glasses and someone asked you, NONE of you would think this was a BIG XII team and most would think it wasn't even good enough to be an MVC team. I think there are quite a few D2 teams that would paste us at HOME if given the chance.
This makes more sense than ANYTHING I've read all day. (note, there is no sarcasm pirate; im serious as ****).
Yes, but I saw several impressive UNI games, under GMac, against big-time teams. The win at LSU, who I believe went to the Final Four later that year. Their close first-round loss in the NCAA to a very, very good Georgia Tech team. They ran a deliberate offense, but ran it very well, with a purpose. They competed 100%, all the time.
This team...has no purpose, just throws up shots, and does not compete. Again, I don't get it...
You really think Altman would be any different? He has his shot at KSU and didnt get it done. He probaly doesnt want it anyway he has been passed over for the job twice now and he has a good thing going and he is getting paid well. The only reason he would take it is to prove he can win at ISU and McD couldnt. No way LE is allowed to coach at ISU as long as Pres Geof is in Ames.
Thanks for the conversation and letting me vent folks. Got to get to sleep as work calls in the morning.
Hopefully I'll dream about '99 -'00 and have visions of Marcus Fizer crushing Chris Mihm.
Dang, is that really 9 years ago?

did I miss the pirate after your post, because you can't seriously be saying we should bring back LE. That is all kinds of stupid.
Amen dude. Don't forget this is year 3 of losing key players....if we had Wesley, we win 3 of the games we've lost so far (SDSU, Drake and Hawaii). While yes, Wes leaving is due to Mac in some respect....its a tough hand to play.
Ahem. All that said, i too am unbelievably saddened at how our one true ray of light (in men's athletics) -- basketball -- has slid this quickly. We were in the Elite 8....and here we are. Keep the faith peoples. I know its hard. But keep the faith
fixed it tyler, unless i guess if you're counting "having not enough black players on the court" is jamie's strike two.
PREDICTION:
This year we go in the tank with no more than 15 wins with one of the most easiest non conf. schedules ever.
Next Year: Find our way into the NIT
Year After: 8 Seed in Tourney and we have juniors and Seniors and a system finally in place where he plugs and plays players.
IMO only. I think he needs to show serious progress though to keep donors from getting crappy, which is not happenning currently

Next season our excuse will be that these new athletes that are gonna "save us" are new to our system and freshmen. The year after that our excuse will be that we lost some experienced players to graduation (or at least ran out of eligibility). That and that we didn't get HB whom any coach other than GMac would have a shot at.
Dana Altman also goes to the NCAA all the time. I really don't think anybody has any room to bash Atlman, when we have a guy like Mcdermott running are program.
