I think the most important thing about where you are going to play is knowing who the coach is. At least if I was a kid, I think that would matter the most, playing for a coach I felt comfortable with. If you don't know who it is going to be, you are not going to commit.
Kids commit to the coaches, not the University.
The loss of perspective around here has done a lot to dent the myth that Iowa State fans are amongst the more intelligent and educated fan bases in the country.
These coaches and players are still human beings, even if these drizzling ***** of "fans" aren't. They work hard everyday to try to get better. They deserve our respect at least for that much.
It's even more pathetic when you look at the history of dismal support this fanbase has offered this program that has created the very structural problems that have led to this school nearly getting kicked out of the power conferences. Which caused the uncertainty that led to two years of lost recruiting, which happens to be the past two Sr classes.
But by all means please continue to embarrass those of us that show up and actually cheer for these kids.
