First round loss to AIB. Put that on your media day scoreboard. Nothing else needs to be said.

You and us both.
Iowa State doesn't have final four talent. Their coaching isn't that good either so I doubt he would be in the NBA although they do hire a lot of coaches that bomb out.

I used air quotes when I said final 4 talent....but he is a proven NBA guy and his name will me mentioned on short lists. Da Bulls will probably hire him since they are already known for taking on ISU coaches in the past too.
Yeah, its hard to believe that anyone would believe Iowa State has final four talent. If they can avoid injuries next year, and the ball bounces right they could , maybe, reach the final four, but the same can be said for a lot of teams, including Iowa.

But then you wouldn't come visit us anymore.
I don't know the kid but I hope the best for anyone. The way Iowa State recruiting has been going, he might have a real chance of starting in a couple of years. He has had a troubled past so hopefully it will work out for him. I'm pretty sure he has dropped out of the top 150 players.
He hasn't.

Cyfans agree it's impossible for Fred to make a mistake.
He's made plenty of mistakes.

With the class Franny has coming in, we'll be top 5 by mid-season.
In the Big 10?

Top 5 in the BIG would be number 1 in the Big 12. Every year the Big 12 trots out it's posers in football and basketball. They beat up on each other and convince the media how good they are and then it's bowl season or NCAA tournament time and the little sisters of the poor flame out against the real good teams or teams like UAB.

Postseason performance is certainly an indicator of the strength of a conference...that being said so is head-head. Iowa lost to the last place Big 12 team in football last season (at home) and also went 0-2 against Big 12 teams in basketball (1 at home and 1 neutral). So staking the claim that a top 5 team in the BIG would be number 1 in the Big 12 is simply false and Iowa fans should know this from a first hand account.
Like shooting fish in a barrel.

You know a few weeks ago I was talking with some of my Cyclone friends. I was saying that I don't know how someone could guess where ISU would be simply because who knows who will even be on their team. I also said that Fred may not be the coach next year because he could go to the NBA or because of his health which apparently, to ISU fans, means I think he could die under the knife; not something logical like he quiting because of his health.
They should be a decent team, but not top 5. Given how inconsistent they were this year and not being able to defend anyone leads me to believe they will have some good runs, but ultimately a mid top 25 team.

Comical. Isu kicked iowas *** last year. Soooo does iowa lose to uab? No they don't and neither do we if our guys decided to show up. We beat uab every time if we mentally show up. We had final 4 talent but the mental toughness of a middle school student
