We have too many guys with the same personality. In fact, this team is "too nice". We have 7 upperclassmen and no leaders. Woodbury is the only guy who isn't afraid to get physical.
Fran knew what he was doing. Everyone is talking about this and not the turd the Hawks left on the floor in Madison. He took the heat off his team, a play stolen from the Hayden Fry playbook.
From @irrationalhawk on Twitter:
Series is Wisconsin 80, Iowa 79. In the Fran era, Badgers wins by 4, 5, 4 (2OT), and 3 (OT). Iowa wins by 4, 7, and 1.
So I'll take Iowa by 87 tonight.
He's not a good play by play guy, period. He's mediocre at football and awful at hoops. You can find better calls on local high school games. It's all part of the "good enough" culture at the University of Iowa.
I love Eddie and Bobby by the way.
If we win 9 more games Fran will have 3 straight years of 20 win seasons. This firing talk is nonsense. Does the team have some issues? Yes. Does the team have some ability? Yes.
