Coach Lickliter would need to win 4 straight ballgames to tie the mark of Dick Shultz.

That, my friends, is so very disconcerting.

 

[1977Hawkeye]

Even if we beat Indiana, the last two games (@Wisky and @Minny) look like losses. If that holds true, and we lose in the first round of the BTT, that drops Lickliter below 40%.

This is one of those "no way Barta doesn't 'get' this" pieces of the puzzle. But it wouldn't hurt if someone e-mailed this to him!

I seriously have to wonder if Barta is aware of exactly where Lickliter's coaching record ranks in Hawkeye history..

 

[koolhandlick]

Yes, But we have turned the corner and are on the right track. What a bright future for Iowa basketball. Run out and buy your season tickets before they are sold out for next season. Enjoy your free hotdogs. We can't keep doing this all season (Vince).

 

[shawk23]

WOW!!! and to think about our upcoming schedule and assuming we lose the last 2 regular season games along with a first round in the BTT we will only need to win 10 games next year to improve. That really scares me and makes me think Lick will get at least 2 more years to try and improve the team. If he sticks around for next year do you really think we can get that much better?

 

[HawkeyeMike23]

Look on the bright side, Lick's got nowhere to go but up now.

 

[koolhandlick]

Or out of Iowa City.

 

[HawkeyeRyno]

I want to be the first to congratulate Coach Lickliter on another dubious acheivement in the Iowa record books (21 records I believe)!! And unless he wins the rest of the BT games, BTT games and wins a National Title; he will also post the first EVER 20 loss team in Iowa basketball history!!!

 

[pin2win]

either way we r looking at a loooong run of losses

sucks

 

[DunderMifflinHk]

Wow, we are hitting rock bottom and then drilling down even farther... I don't even want to think about it.

 

[SteveGarvey]

Or out of Iowa City.

You might wanna change your handle then.

The day he's gone I might change it to HAPPYDAZE or LICKITYSPLITS.

That is a good suggestion Freddy, so I did.

 

[koolhandlick]

Sounds good. How about FREELUNCH in honor of all the hotdogs that have been given away this season.
