High -- often unreasonable -- expectations, followed by results that don't match those expectations, is the magic formula for extreme indignation.

I don’t think you were an ISU fan during the McDermott years because if you were you wouldn’t post crap like this that outs yourself as a ******* moron.
Yet here we are, the rest of us, having to accept your LESS than mediocre posting. Football in a basketball thread...sliding down that hok path pretty quickly.
As sucky as this recent slide has been, we still had some great moments this season (and might still have more, stay tuned). The Mac years were miserable the whole way through; games like this year's @ Texas and @ WV were the norm.
If that is what you guys were actually doing that would be different.
You aren’t here for that. And trying to pretend you are, is dishonest and insulting.
I can tell he that he only accepts mediocrity in his capitalization and punctuation.
Their problem was they aimed high and fell apart when they didn't get there. They weren't aiming for 9-9.
But just like Campbell, Prohm isn't going call out his team in public and call them losers. He's not going to denigrate what they did do by saying that it was worthless.
I loved the dynamic of Talley starting and THT coming off the bench yesterday. Yes, yes, only a senior day thing I know, but THT came in with some focused energy I thought, and was insta offense off the bench. To me, it's obvious THTs usage has just been too high this season. Too little too late with the lineup changes, and for the wrong reasons. Conditt is an upgrade over Lard at this point, so at least Prohm got that right. I am in wait and see mode with prohm for next season, but I didn't see a lot to give him my vote of confidence this year.
Saw in an article prohm said he liked Conditt's effort in the WVU game so he went with him over Lard in the TTU game.
And they assume he is happy with how the season ended. If you listen to him at all, you know that he repeatedly called last year unexceptable after the season ended. I suspect that during the summer and next season, he will comment about how February was not acceptable (although I do think he should and will point out that they got back to the NCAA).
He's dealing with a fragile team and I'd like to know what purpose it would serve for him to call out himself and his team in public while the season is still going on.
Wouldn't surprise me.
With Conditt there's limitations but you at least know the effort is there.
Well, since you label yourself as "more of a gambling man", I would hope that you have a clear understanding that any coaching change carries an inherent amount of risk with it.
Jamie Pollard is a damn good athletic director, but let's please not act like every single hire of his has been a home run to this point; yes, Matt Campbell has been great, but Gene Chizik was not. Fred Hoiberg saved our program from the disaster that was Greg McDermott.
You seem to think that finding a coach capable of winning a championship in short order is fairly easy and that they are a dime a dozen. They are not.
Was there ever any official answer as to why Lard didn't play last night?
My 2 favorite sports - #1 coming to the boards to talk about a Cyclone win (happens WAY more often than some would like BTW) with like-minded positive fans, and #2 coming for a series of the most ignorant, poorly thought-out, brain dump crap posts by a very vocal, very ignorant, and hopefully very SMALL contingent of Cyclone "fans".
A very competent coach did win the B12 this year at ISU. Beard is pretty good. TTaco is pretty good. Give some credit.
