    StFU

    I read the thread title and was just prepping to spew my venom toward another Fran apologist. &^%& it! :)

    Until Gary Barta is fired...

    At any other major university Gary would be gone. We have reached a new level of mediocrity.

    Stick a fork in it -- this season's done

    It does get old doesn't it? Seeing us play with no emotion, seeing our "veterans" be non existent. I was not surprised we lost... I was surprised at how horrible we truly are. Hello NIT.

    Why do I do this to myself?

    Sadly, I saved myself some discomfort by DVRing the game and skipping through it in about 20 minutes. Kept thinking... "Hmm, something tells me I've seen this movie before."

    So tell me again why exactly did Fran get a 1 year extension???

    In 35 years I don't remember a time when basketball and football were both so mediocre...

    Time for Fran to go

    In 35 years of being a Hawk fan I don't remember a time when Iowa basketball and football were both so mediocre at the same time. This is bad, folks. Gary, Kirk, and Fran... Not giving me good feelings and not leaving me excited for the future.

    This team is a BEAT team!

    Back to back inexcusable performances. Year #5 and this is where we are at??

    Until Gary Barta is fired...

    Football and basketball are really at sad states. This is really depressing.

    Bob Diaco

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XF7ug0UZsHc I like his approach. Well spoken. Now, wins and losses will determine how far he goes ... But, I like what I heard from him ... Now, just clean up the disaster that is UConn and make your way to Iowa City ...

    Bob Diaco

    I am really pulling for Diaco to do well at UConn. I have been a fan of his since he landed at Notre Dame ... If he is successful there then maybe he could be in strong consideration for the Iowa job. I like his background ... having played at Iowa ... understanding the culture at the U of Iowa...

    BHGP - That's football - Excellent Article

    Great article ... And it twisted the knife just a bit more knowing THIS is what Iowa football has become ... and this is how it will remain under Kirk ... It's funny (not ha ha funny) but I honestly get tired of talking/writing about everything that is wrong with Iowa football. Any remaining...

    What is the model to follow?

    Amen ... I lived in Oregon in the early 90s ... Fan interest was non existent. Oregon was a state not that much different than Iowa ... laid back ... did not (and still does not) produce a lot of Division 1 talent ... and look at where Oregon is today ... I wish we (as a fanbase and as a school)...

    Just what if....

    I think the Tennessee outcome, win or lose, will have absolutely no effect on Kirk ... Gary has publicly declared Kirk is his man ...

    3 Point Shooting

    I simply don't understand how we can lack 3 point shooters. I watched UNI play Va Commonwealth last night and saw plenty of guys on the UNI roster who can bury the 3. We simply clank, clank, clank... I see plenty of 3 pt shooters on lesser teams and we just can't seem to land any...

    10 Wins

    I loved sticking it to NC on their court but when the season is over I don't think NC will be in the Top 25. Right now we are an average team. We aren't bad... We aren't good. The tough part about watching this team is seeing some of the same misgivings that haunted us last season. I agree Fran...

    Gary Barta, Kirk Ferentz & Fran McCaffery

    Let's not forget Tim Dwight as head football coach and Jess Settles for basketball ... :)

    Oglesby - "he makes them in practice"

    I am guessing if Josh hasn't "found his shot" by now it simply is not going to happen. If he can't make shots then it is time to give minutes to others and let them try.

    Wonder who is on Barta's Short list

    It was tough watching that second half where nobody could create a shot and many shots were simply forced. Just no rhythm to the offense whatsoever. Nobody took charge. But honestly, I simply think we don't have a take charge guy.

    Hoiberg is a FABULOUS Coach

    I agree. Fred has done a wonderful job and his teams are well disciplined and fun to watch. And each year he basically starts fresh but gets his players to gel...
