I know I have not been around the boards for years...that's a me problem...just got burnt out. But thank you all for making HN a part of your regular Hawkeye Online Experience, for however long you have. I really appreciate it, and the support allowed me to have more fun than I ever dreamed...

My fascination with the temperament theory is less about what you express, and more about how understanding the differences in our base temperaments have proven invaluable in my experiences with people, but more importantly, myself. The Book 'Why You Act the Way you Do' touched on the theory...

I get your post...and I am still struggling on some levels. I think intent has to matter...and I think in this instance, it HAS mattered. I think that most people do not believe Dolph to be a racist. I have had conversations with several people of color on this matter, and none of them...

I have not done a deep dive on Hippocrates' thoughts, rather, the aspects of temperaments manifesting in people seems to be rather predetermined, or there are proclivities that seem to be apparent....nature plays a part, but of course, nurture also plays a part.

HN's 'credential' was yanked after I a tweet I made in 2014...it was pretty unprofessional or rather, if I am going to want to have an organization be considered for journalistic credentials, then I needed to evaluate the direction of the 'entertainment' I was going to take the brand...it's fine...

I dont think it's so much that they are not good enough to carry a team that lacks experience. I think the lack of a few additional guards and wings with breakdown ball skills and quickness are killing this team...because you just need to overplay JoBo, or any of the guards for that matter...

Let's revisit this in June when we know exactly what the roster will look like

LOL Man, why didn't we just start with the Athletic Department? I think Fran is a good coach..I think he has made mistakes constructing this roster...and it is causing pain...but I am willing to give him a mulligan...but this goal and hope of moving to the next level of program consistently, I...

I will get halfway with you. I think leadership like Barry's is a must at a place like Iowa if it is going to challenge to get to the next level and stay there.

Yeah, they are absolutely an outlier freak example, I grant you that and just talked about it a bit in another post. But this sort of breaking through the barrier is just so rare...but perhaps, since they did it in two sports, it has a lot to do with the right leadership.

They are not ordained...but they typically have a few things in common, like in business. EARLY ADOPTERS: In the sports sense, they were very successful early and often...those traditions attracted others..and have made those places as destinations....continued success at the highest level...

Yeah, as I have said in following posts, I was responding about 16-17...and not sure how I got off on that track..My bad

Sorry, for some reason, after reading through this entire thread, I thought the question was about last year.... No, for this year? This season has been a complete and total disaster to date, a huge disappointment. Which the Iowa media did not see coming...but the national media picked Iowa...

What year are we talking about? I was referring to 2016-2017

To be clear, you are asking why I was jacked before the start of last season? 1) Because I love basketball 2) Because I had little to no expectations for a team that was the youngest in Iowa history 3) Because of two, every night was likely to be an unknown, and that is a lot of fun because 4)...

As I said in another thread, I don't know of anyone I associate with who had Iowa in the NCAA tournament...and everyone I associate with was very satisfied with how that team fought and played ahead of schedule.

Meh, that might look cool on a coffee mug sitting on your desk next to your framed Blvd of Broken Dreams poster you are still lugging around from college that nobody thinks is cool any more, but over hneuh in the real world, I may not like that brick wall...but there ain't no amount of time...

I mean, I dont want to get into a debate on what the definition of warm is. If they don't make the tournament next year, that will be very not good...I have no idea what the fallout would be because I am not the one in charge.

I can't think of any of the people I associate with that were picking Iowa to make it to the NCAA tournament. I had them winning 17 or 18.
