I think this team plays above its talent level, which I attribute to good coaching. Think about it, there isn't a guy on the team that can shoot with any consistency, there isn't a guy on the team that can create his own shot, we have 2 true frosh point guards, the team doesn't have a...

Not sure if he intentionally missed that freethrow. Usually when you are trying to miss to get a rebound you throw it up their hard to get a long bounce. Never seen anyone try to miss a freethrow by barely touching the front of the rim.

Of course the 45% free thrower nails two when it matters. Tremendous effort and heart, just not enough clutch shooting/playmaking on this roster. The fact they compete this way with the best player essentially a liability is amazing.

The team plays with a tremendous amount of effort, but there is just not enough skill to go along with it. The fact that they stay in these games with Marble being essentially a liability right now speaks to the heart and effort. There just isn't enough scoring talent on the roster. I just...

Three conference wins absolutely ****** down the drain well beyond the run of the mill "coulda won" variety that teams can say after every game. Unreal.

Serious question here on the political debate. When people say "we need to get back to the times of [fill in the blank morals/value] of our country" or when people say the "country is no longer [fill in the value/moral], I don't know what this means. , What decade or 20-30 year period of our...

KF didn't leave b/c we paid him a top 10 coach's salary. If ISU wants to pay Rhoads $3 million/year on a 10 year deal I would agree he would be nuts for leaving. And I think KF realizes he is a good fit for certain places like at Iowa, and not others. Just like Rhoads. I don't see Rhoads...

I agree there is no reason to think Rhoads is interested in moving on. My point, though, is that you don't always get to choose when the right opportunity presents itself. There have been coaches that I absolutely 100% believe had no intentions of leaving a school b/c they 100% didn't believe...

Brett, what the heck are you talking about? There isn't an Iowa fan out there that thinks things are going well with the program. Us Iowa fans have said everything bad there is to say about the state of the program over the past few months. There's nothing left to discuss. The topic of the...

I think this post proves a lot of our points that Rhoads would be wise to strike while the iron is hot with a bigger coaching gig. First, the fact that you state it took McCarney 6 years to get to a bowl game shows just how much a fan base forgets a coach's past successes. The ISU football...

Coaches don't want buyouts. They want to coach. If, by your logic, Rhodes was worried about money he would absolutely field an offer from Wisconsin. Despite everything McCarney did at ISU he wasn't able to even sniff another decent head coaching job because he missed his window. Bielema has...

I don't think Rhodes is about the money, but surely he understands what happened to McCarney. Rhodes hasn't had the 9 win season McCarney had yet. Pollard shamelessly escorted McCarney to the door, despite everything McCarney did for the school. The same McCarney that some speculate turned...

I agree with this and would add that "luck" didn't put Purdue in a position to attempt the last second field goal. The systemic problem of getting gashed up the middle on QB runs did (along with deciding to throw a 1 yard out to a slow TE on 4th and 3). Luck didn't put CMU in a position to...

So you don't consider your insulting and offensive response an indication that you are trying to get rid of your anger boner? If not than your just being an *** for the heck of it. Which is worse?

It's a long thread, so I don't expect people to read every post, but you've cherry picked one of my posts and used it for your point...which if you read through the thread you will see is exactly why I don't rely on stats to determine if a team is successful - you take one piece of info and use...

Huh?

Absolutely correct you can apply that logic. If they were both sophomores and both making sophomore mistakes I'd say pick your poison. The coaches obviously see something in Law b/c he is getting more PT. Again, I'm not saying pull out a starter who has been performing reasonably well, or who...

I can't tell if you are directing the sarcasm to me or not. I said Law looked quicker than Donatel and Section 136 said I was stereotyping b/c Law is black and Donatel is white. If I said Kirksey (who is black) is quicker than Bigach (who is white), would Section 136 say I was stereotyping...

Nope. Not sure I'm capable of getting mad at an internet post from a stranger. Just pointing out the doucheness of your race baiting. I think Kirksey is quicker than Bigach too. I must be into stereotypes :)

I'd say statistically it was probably about average when compared to every single D1 school in the country, including the MAC, Sunbelt, C-USA, etc. teams. But I'm not a stats guy. I'm more concerned with how the team does in certain situations. If you score 55 points against Ball State and...
