Yeah, because doctors (actual practicioners, not people with doctorates in English) are well-reknowned for their writing abilities? Clearly you were educated in Missouri, given the fact that your opinions are so blatantly stupid and ignorant.
Alford was Mr. March? Give me a break. Northwestern State had no business beating us, and we flat out choked it away. That was Alford's best chance to cement a legacy here, and he blew it. Instead, he walks away as a guy who gave full support to a rapist just because said rapist could help us win basketball games.
I have some great memories from the first few years, being in school at Iowa then was pretty neat. Luke Recker will go down as one of my favorites, that season will of course always be what if after he got hurt. That Indiana game at Carver in 00-01 was the loudest I have ever heard it.

So, your defense lies with Pierre Pierce? Nice angle!!!
Love the players from the Alford era but...
Surely you jest???
Might I remind you that we won one, count it, one NCAA game the entire time he was in Iowa City. And have the distinction of being one of the few 3 seeds to lose in the first round. Or were you refering to the one NIT game won during his era.
He was hired to take Iowa Basketball "to the next level". While two Big Ten tournament titles are nice, he most certainly did not take us to that level and in my opinion his time at Iowa began the slide that we are all hoping Coach McCaffery can bring us out of.
Now that we have a new leader for Iowa Basketball can we once and forever put the Alford coaching behind us and move on? Let's get behind Coach McCaffery and the Hawkeyes and cheer them on to the next level we so much desire.
Hater! Look in the mirror and fix the problem, stop worrying about everyone else.
So all I would have to do is get paid by or play for the UofIA and I am a better Hawk then anyone on this board?
Pierre Pierce what a great Hawk, that's how I think of him....

No disrespect to the players of the Alford Era, but Steve alienated a lot of Hawkeye basketball fans through his arrogance, attitude, and mound of frustrating losses. Coach Lickliter came in and just inherited a situation he potentially wasn't prepared for and was unable to energize the fan base.
As a diehard Hawkeye fan for 25 years, I am ready to move on and am excited about the Coach Fran hire. I think he is the perfect fit for us and we need to get behind him as he takes on this challenge. I am looking forward to the 2010-2011 season!

I think it might have been his first year. I stormed the court and then went to Chauncey's for dime draws. Nothing like throwing a 20 dollar bill out for 200 draws.

I don't think Alford ever beat Kansas. I remember Mr. Davis ending their long home winning streak. Alford did beat #1 UConn at MSG on ESPN in his first game as coach, and it all went downhill from there... I still have that game in VHS tape somewhere!
I also thoroughly enjoyed the beatdown that we put on Missouri in Columbia when they were ranked #3 in the nation!
My thoughts exactly. I'm waiting to hear from the people that wanted uptempo basketball next year and we continue to struggle. Not that uptempo is wrong, but people love to pick apart everything. If we played uptempo with our bench this year the same people would have tried to commit Lick to an insane asylum. Hopefully the recruiting class will help with depth this year.

Iowa beat Kansas at home during Alford's 1st year. It was one of those wierd non-conference games in the middle of conference season (I think.)

This is the correct answer. "Hot" Rod Thompson went off for like 14 or 16 points that game.

do you honestly believe what you type? That game was one of the biggest choke jobs in Iowa history and you claim that NW State team was "very talented" and was destined for an upset that day
Iowa BLEW a couple of 18 point leads in that game, both in the 2nd half. 8 years, one tourney win..........'nuff said about the alford era.
