Superbowl, or not, they'll pound us like a Veal Cutlet and by double-digs; Gizmo will have a double-double.
The Fran fade
- Thread starter CyTwins
- Start date
Yeah as much as I don't like Kriener, he was incredibly solid this year for Iowa. He was, in my opinion, the second best player on the team this year due to CJ's injuries. His production is going to have to be filled by guys that have not seen a lot of minutes at all and then Pemsl who honestly can't be counted on much except for a few minutes here and there.
It'll be interesting to see how Fran distributes the minutes. JBo coming back decreases Toussaint's time and Fran is going to want to play Uhlis I can guarantee you that. He's also probably going to want to play the other shooting guard coming in as well as the freshman big so he can get his toes in the water. I'd assume the twins will redshirt but who knows.
We'll just have to wait and see. I think Fran needs to take a good hard look at this season and look at why they were different than years in the past. If he can do that, Iowa will probably have another good year and could be better than last year. If he doesn't and reverts back to his norm, Iowa will either be worse or the same.
But I had to scratch my head with your earlier sentiments that we need to replace P5 in-state rivals with teams like FAM; sheze, man up and be a Cyclone.
You were a little harsh with your opinion on our coach when you said he can't seem to elevate & coach his better-athletically talented teams over a bunch of klutzy, white guys who can't play D.
+ JorBo with a 4-1 record vs us ?@? sheeze
You really never know. We don't know how good Iowa State is going to be and even if Iowa is really good, they could have an off night and lose. It could be an incredibly close game and a team could win either way. Fred's last game against Iowa at Hilton we came back and won and would've probably lost had Gesell made his FT's. The following year Iowa was actually a better team than the year before and we beat them by 15 or whatever without BDJ or Jameel McKay. So you really never know what's going to happen, especially in a rivalry.
Absolutely not. The Iowa State-Iowa rivalry in every single sport is awesome. The players love it. The only people who don't love it are a handful of fans on each side.
Drop Iowa and add Wisconsin instead. Playing Iowa is a lose lose situation
You'd lose your reason for living.
First Iowa 4 way that didn't involve a Metro Dome bathroom.
I must've missed the extra time we played Iowa in the last 4 years, and lost apparently.
Twins; I love you like a Clone-Bro, but you disproportionately post regarding Iowa (by a large ratio). Last couple months predominately Iowa; by a large ratio.
We'll lose this Dec. And I would be happy to personally reply to you if I'm wrong.
A little hard to predict a win for ISU, but no reason to count your chickens before they hatch. Fran has effectively turned this game into Iowa's superbowl though, I'll give you that. Or maybe it was Jorbo who did that...
I don't give Fran that much credit, but rather Prohm's inability; especially with better / more gifted players. Our 2016 Monte-led team ( Burton, Naz, Matty, etc) lose to Fran and freshman JorBo ?#@? my red flag meter went off back then.
