I saw an official place a mirror in front of Lick during a game once, to see if he was still breathing.

For me it's been "Caff" since Freddy Brown posted his thread about it back on 3-30. http://www.hawkeyenation.com/forum/basketball/8545-its-coach-caff-i-dont-want-hear.html

I like Ricky. He is unquestionably the leader of this team, and he brings so many intagibles to the table with him. But IMO he is not even in the top 5 statistically or historically.

I prefer Caff (definitely not Mac). I really like his attitude! Caff not only believes in himself but he believes in Iowa. He is going to get this turned around, and I can't wait to see some of the athletes that he is going to bring to Iowa. Exciting times indeed for Iowa basketball.

I don't doubt that following Iowa for a Clown fan is immensely more interesting than following ISU, it's the statement that he is closer to the program than 99% of us that I find ludicrous.

I was not happy with either of these kids not honoring their commitment, but with the coaching change I felt that Iowa did the prudent thing and let them out of their LOI's. At any time until now I would have welcomed either of them back into the fold. But now with this kind of whining, I say...

You'll excuse me if I don't buy your claim that you follow Iowa Basketball up close more than 99% on this board. Why would someone with a Cyclown screen name follow Iowa basketball so closely? And what makes you think you're sooo much closer to the program and more knowledgeable than 99% of us...

My first thought when I read this was, big deal...with one years difference, these kids will never play together at Kentucky.

The original "the kick". Rob Houghtlin through the up rights to seal the deal for a win of epic proportions. There is nothing like the feeling of being #1 in the country and beating #2 Michigan on your home field in front of a nationally televised audience. I will never forget that day as long...

Here's the way I look at it. While losing these guys hurts us in the short term, it will make a powerful selling point to some talented kids in the near future. All Caff has to do is tell new recruits, do you want to be a NOB (Newbie On the Bench) for a year maybe two before you see significant...

If he is injured, coach should lock him in an electrical room! Oops, sorry wrong program.

CAARHawk, If Caff can convince good recruits to play for a mid major like Sienna, what makes you think he can't sell recruits on playing for a Big 10 university? I personally think he will get some very good recruits. It's just not going to be this week, but b-ball season is a long ways away...

I cannot believe the doom and gloom of some of our fan base. It amazes me that we have this vocal minority that cannot see the forest for the trees. So many of us (myself included) were down on Lick and his "system" and the fact that he couldn't recruit the talent we needed to compete in the Big...

There's no real revelation here. Painter is obviously taking a back handed slap at Iowa infering that nobody could recruit any decent talent here, because it hasn't been done recently. Iowa fans know different. We've seen it, albeit a long time ago. Once the word gets out amongst good prospects...

Have already made a reservation for jshawks, party of 4.

+1 This is exactly what I was thinking. I am old enough to remember the pre Hayden era, and our football program was everybit the disaster that our b-ball program is now. Hayden came in and began with marketing the product. He asked that the fans and the university be as dedicated to turning the...

jshawks and sons will be there!

I must admit that at first I was not enthused about this hire at all. But having slept on it and hearing what he had to say and how he said it, I am on board as well, and support Fran 100%. It will be nice to be able to once again look forward to basketball season, as opposed to it just being...

+1 I am in the same boat 1977Hawkeye. Damned employers anyway, what gives them the right to expect me to do my job when the new basketball coach is being introduced?!

A drunk or a cheat...what a choice!
